Such constructive use of time is available to us all。 A Seattle businessman carries a briefcase in which he has paper and envelopes for penning letters。 In odd moments he keeps countless friendships alive。

A woman I know memorized the sermon on the Mount while muting。 A bedspread in our home was quilted by my mother…in…law who; though extremely busy; found minutes to prepare a beautiful gift full of memories for her family。

Remember; most time is wasted in minutes; not hours。 The average person diddles away enough minutes in ten years to have earned a college degree。

Thinking of this reminds me of a verse from my childhood by Julia Fletcher Carney:

Little drops of water;

Little grains of sand;

Make the mighty6 ocean;

And the pleasant land。

Do you recall the next four lines?

So the little minutes;

Humble though they be;

Make the mighty ages

Of eternity。

交友論(1)

佚名

1. 要像對待自己一樣對待朋友,因為朋友即為另一個我。

2. 儘管朋友和我各有一個身體,然而心與心卻是相通的。

3. 順境中難辨朋友的真偽。逆境裡,友誼的本質則盡收眼底:真朋友接近你,假朋友疏遠你。

4。 交友前,要仔細考察;交友之後,則要委以信任。

5。 友誼和仇恨就像音樂與噪音,其區分的標準在於它們是否和諧。和諧是友誼的根基。有了和諧,小事業能夠成長壯大;爭執吵鬧,大事業也會土崩瓦解。

6. 困境中,我們希望看到朋友的臉龐。然而無論是憂愁還是歡樂,我們都需要朋友。憂愁時,朋友為我們減輕悲痛;歡樂時,朋友則讓快樂加倍。

7. 可以同我一起分享內心感受的人,才是我的知心好友。

8. 只有建立在共同的興趣和道德上的友誼,才能萬古長存。

9. 真正的朋友並非總是認同你的觀點,同樣,也不是總否定你。合理的,他會贊同;不合理的,他會反對。朋友的責任就是坦言相告。

10。 追逐快樂多於追求道義的友誼是不會長存的。

11。 密友過多,即為沒有密友。
