庄子云:“人生天地之间,若白驹过隙,忽然而已。”是呀,春秋置换,日月交替,这从指尖悄然划过的时光,没有一点声响,没有一刻停留,仿佛眨眼的功夫,半生已过。 人活在世上,就像暂时寄宿于尘世,当生命的列车驶到终点,情愿也罢,不情愿也罢,微笑也罢,苦笑也罢,都不得不向生命挥手作别。 我们无法挽住时光的脚步,无法改变人生的宿命。但我们可以拿起生活的画笔,把自己的人生涂抹成色彩靓丽的颜色。 生命如此短暂,岂容随意挥霍!只有在该辛勤耕耘的时候播洒汗水,一程风雨后,人生的筐篓里才能装满硕果。 就算是烟花划过天空,也要留下短暂的绚烂。只有让这仅有一次的生命丰盈充实,才不枉来尘世走一遭。雁过留声,人过留名,这一趟人生旅程,总该留下点儿什么! 生活是柴米油盐的平淡,也是行色匆匆的奔波。一粥一饭来之不易,一丝一缕物力维艰。 前行的路上,有风也有雨。有时候,风雨扑面而来,打在脸上,很疼,可是,我们不能向生活低头认输,咬牙抹去脸上的雨水,还有泪水,甩开脚步,接着向前。
我们需要呈现最好的自己给世界,需要许诺最好的生活给家人。所以,生活再累,不能后退。即使生活赐予我们一杯不加糖的苦咖啡,皱一皱眉头,也要饮下。 人生是一场跋涉,也是一场选择。我们能抵达哪里,能看到什么样的风景,能成为什么样的人,都在于我们的选择。 如果我们选择面朝大海,朝着阳光的方向挥手微笑,我们的世界必会收获一片春暖花开。如果我们选择小桥流水,在不动声色的日子里种篱修菊,我们的世界必会收获一隅静谧恬淡。 选择临风起舞,我们就是岁月的勇者;选择临阵脱逃,我们就是生活的懦夫。 没有淌不过去的河,就看我们如何摆渡。没有爬不过去的山,就看我们何时启程。 德国哲学家尼采说:“每一个不曾起舞的日子,都是对生命的辜负。”让我们打开朝着晨光的那扇窗,迎阳光进来,在每一个日出东海的日子,无论是鲜衣怒马少年时,还是宠辱不惊中年时,都活出自己的明媚和精彩。 时间会带来惊喜,只要我们不忘记为什么出发,不忘记以梦为马,岁月一定会对我们和颜悦色,前方也一定会有意想不到的惊喜。 人生忽如寄,生活多苦辛。 短暂的生命旅程, 别辜负时光,别辜负自己。 愿我们每一个人自律、阳光、勤奋, 活成自己喜欢的模样, 活成一束光,
