说起来很讽刺。当我最终定下来写有关珍惜的讲稿时，想上网搜几个有关珍惜的名言警句，于是我打开百度网页，再搜索栏里输入“珍惜”，空格，“名言警句”，然后摁了回车。一个让我有些尴尬又哭笑不得的事情发生了。我看到，在蹦出来的十个词条里边，有七八个在“珍惜”两个字的后面，紧跟着的是“小学生演讲稿”。看来，我打算要在大学课堂里当作重点来讲的东西是人家小学生早就知道的。 是啊，对于珍惜，或许在我们很小的时候就已经知道了，甚至已经懂得了它的涵义以及如何才能做到珍惜。然而，知道就等于自己都做到了吗?事实并非如此，所以我最终还是选择了这个看起来似乎有些幼稚的话题，因为有时候不是大
家不知道珍惜，而往往是在拥有的时候忘记了要珍惜。我想，或许现在我们都需要被“珍惜”这两个字来提醒。
不知道大家还记不记得这样一则新闻：一架飞外阿拉斯加的飞机因为机械故障，造成机毁人亡，坠入了太平洋。当时看到这则新闻的时候，让我印象最深的是报道说，在那些遇难者中，有一对要去阿拉斯加度蜜月的新婚夫妇。我几乎可以想象得到在飞机失事前，那对新婚夫妇脸上洋溢的喜悦和甜蜜。或许他们还在规划着飞机着陆后，将去哪里就餐，或许直接奔往早已定好的酒店入住，再或许一起欣赏向

往已久的极地风光。可是人的生命是那么脆弱，他们甚至来不及好好地享受已经拥有的幸福。
那些无辜的人们一瞬间就丧失了生命，看着死难者家属无助又痛苦的电视画面，我的心情复杂极了。对于那对年轻的夫妇来说，不幸的，是小夫妻俩没能来得及享受蜜月期间的快乐，而所幸的是，他们已经彼此找到了对方，并以对方为伴。最起码他们在生命的最后一段时光
中是幸福的，因为他们身边有相爱的人陪伴，他们珍惜了自己的爱情。我甚至可以想象，在他们知道自己就要离开人世之前，浮现在他们脸上的是那早已把恐惧驱散的没了踪影的幸福笑容。
同学们，再想想我们吧，看到这些难道就没有触动?瑞士伟大的民-主主义教育家——裴斯太罗奇说过，今天的事没有做，明天再早也是耽误了。是啊，为什么我们要等到失去或已无法挽回的时候才追悔莫及。这一刻的我们不会知道下一刻会有怎样的变化，甚至不知道现在拥有的一切是否突然就会溜走，所以我们必须像珍惜爱情一样珍惜现在。

in 1981, i was introduced to now judge thomas by a mutual friend. judge thomas told me that he was anticipating a political appointment, and he asked if i would be interested in working with him. he was, in fact, appointed as assistant secretary of education for civil rights. after he had taken that post, he asked if i would become his assistant, and i accepted that position.
in my early period there, i had two major projects. the first was an article i wrote for judge thomas' signature on the education of minority students. the second was the organization of a seminar on high-risk students which was abandoned because judge thomas transferred to the eeoc where he became the chairman of that office.
during this period at the department of education, my working relationship with judge thomas was positive. i had a good deal of responsibility and independence. i thought he respected my work and that he trusted my judgment. after approximately three months of working there, he asked me to go out socially with him.
what happened next and telling the world about it are the two most difficult things -- experiences of my life. it is only after a great deal of

agonizing consideration and sleeplenumber -- a great number of sleeplenights tha(t i am able to talk of these unpleasant matters to anyone but my close friends.
i declined the invitation to go out socially with him and explained to him that i thought it would jeopardize what at the time i considered to be a very good working relationship. i had a normal social life with other men outside of the office. i believed then, as now, that having a social relationship with a person who was supervising my
work would be ill-advised. i was very uncomfortable with the idea and told him so.
i thought that by saying no and explaining my reasons my employer would abandon his social suggestions. however, to my regret, in the following few weeks, he continued to ask me out on several occasions. he pressed me to justify my reasons for saying no to him. these incidents took place in his office or mine. they were in the form of private conversations which would not have been overheard by anyone else. my working relationship became even more strained when judge thomas began to use work situations to discuse-x. on these occasions, he
