你的你的不期而至
你的你的不期而至
使顽强的生命有了全新的意义
你的你的如期而至
你的你的如期而至
让追梦的人们有了登月的天梯
你穿过穿过原野
你穿过穿过原野
给干涸的大地多少绿色的希冀
你掠过掠过海天
你掠过掠过海天
使澎湃的春潮变成连篇的写意
你是那样不可置信
你又是那样确定无疑
如同天雷在天际滾动
啊!高考1977!
你是那样不可置信
你又是那样确定无疑
如同春雷在天际滚动
啊!高考1977!

-- 那些父辈们曾经的足迹，总鼓舞我们继续前行，前赴后继。时代变迁，我们的追求不曾改变。回首往事，有那么一点点的沧桑，也有许许多多的感动。虽然我们出生 在那个年代之后，可是我们也曾经艰难，高考依然沉甸甸的充满期待和对于未来的寄托。我们拼了十分的气力，家人、兄弟、老师，一份份的感动与关怀让我们不曾 因为挫折而停留。不愿回首，因为有止不住的泪水。我们走过了，那段历史却依然弥足珍贵。接近而立之年，我们已能挑起家庭的责任；兄弟之间依然的相交、相 知；而对于曾经的恩师，我们却只能在这个节日后，有一声遥远的问候，送一个遥远的祝福。不管是珍惜还是已经淡漠，是他们在五尺讲台上的奉献才铸就了我们的 今天。十年树木，百年树人，我们应该向父辈们致敬，也该向老师们致敬。

思维的膨胀已经让大脑犹如爆炸的感觉，在长时间的活跃之后，在长时间的睡眠之后。So much of passion, so much of madness. 世界的光明与黑暗已经在交替中黯淡了光芒，追随着时间的脚步与感觉。沉迷，让你的光芒照亮工作、人生，放纵的思维超越时间与空间的限制，一瞬间，流淌的文字。沉默，一如既往的相随。沉默的思考，微笑，冰冷的话语，燃烧的心火与热情。What a combination. 召唤，在谁的心里彼此相应。拔开多少的怀疑与顾虑，看透时间的驾驭。Enjoy LIFE.

No play, no game. Just being truthful to each other. That’s the fundamental for a relationship, no matter for friendship or for lovers. If one fails to play, whatever games applied on him/her will be definitely a failure in the end. Even though less fun as it is, it is the norms of life. Fantasy is barely the reality.

Another lesson to be learned, to continue using my oceanographic metaphor, is that while you are swimming and not sinking you should aim for rough water. When I was teaching at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the late 1960s, a student told me that he wanted to go into general relativity rather than the area I was working on, elementary particle physics, because the principles of the former were well known, while the latter seemed like a mess to him. It struck me that he had just given a perfectly good reason for doing the opposite. Particle physics was an area where creative work could still be done. It really was a mess in the 1960s, but since that time the work of many theoretical and experimental physicists has been able to sort it out, and put everything (well, almost everything) together in a beautiful theory known as the standard model. My advice is to go for the messes — that's where the action is.

My third piece of advice is probably the hardest to take. It is to forgive yourself for wasting time. Students are only asked to solve problems that their professors (unless unusually cruel) know to be solvable. In addition, it doesn't matter if the problems are scientifically important — they have to be solved to pass the course. But in the real world, it's very hard to know which problems are important, and you never know whether at a given moment in history a problem is solvable. At the beginning of the twentieth century, several leading physicists, including Lorentz and Abraham, were trying to work out a theory of the electron. This was partly in order to understand why all attempts to detect effects of Earth's motion through the ether had failed. We now know that they were working on the wrong problem. At that time, no one could have developed a successful theory of the electron, because quantum mechanics had not yet been discovered. It took the genius of Albert Einstein in 1905 to realize that the right problem on which to work was the effect of motion on measurements of space and time. This led him to the special theory of relativity. As you will never be sure which are the right problems to work on, most of the time that you spend in the laboratory or at your desk will be wasted. If you want to be creative, then you will have to get used to spending most of your time not being creative, to being becalmed on the ocean of scientific knowledge.

Finally, learn something about the history of science, or at a minimum the history of your own branch of science. The least important reason for this is that the history may actually be of some use to you in your own scientific work. For instance, now and then scientists are hampered by believing one of the over-simplified models of science that have been proposed by philosophers from Francis Bacon to Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper. The best antidote to the philosophy of science is a knowledge of the history of science.

More importantly, the history of science can make your work seem more worthwhile to you. As a scientist, you're probably not going to get rich. Your friends and relatives probably won't understand what you're doing. And if you work in a field like elementary particle physics, you won't even have the satisfaction of doing something that is immediately useful. But you can get great satisfaction by recognizing that your work in science is a part of history.

Look back 100 years, to 1903. How important is it now who was Prime Minister of Great Britain in 1903, or President of the United States? What stands out as really important is that at McGill University, Ernest Rutherford and Frederick Soddy were working out the nature of radioactivity. This work (of course!) had practical applications, but much more important were its cultural implications. The understanding of radioactivity allowed physicists to explain how the Sun and Earth's cores could still be hot after millions of years. In this way, it removed the last scientific objection to what many geologists and paleontologists thought was the great age of the Earth and the Sun. After this, Christians and Jews either had to give up belief in the literal truth of the Bible or resign themselves to intellectual irrelevance. This was just one step in a sequence of steps from Galileo through Newton and Darwin to the present that, time after time, has weakened the hold of religious dogmatism. Reading any newspaper nowadays is enough to show you that this work is not yet complete. But it is civilizing work, of which scientists are able to feel proud.

生命中总有起起伏伏，生活里多是磕磕碰碰，人生如此。随着阅历的增长，就成了生活的常态。我们从诧异、愤怒抑或喜悦中趋向平静，淡看生活，静面人生。

一切如初，一切如往，在骨子里我们总向往那种相忘于江湖的朴实无华和淡雅情致，然而在生活中我们依然努力的出世入道。或隐或显，无为或有为，淡然的矛盾着，冲突却又中庸。

曾经有无奈，满怀的关切却无能为力。无论怎样的呐喊，只在空寂间回荡。时间消磨了心性，却演练了韧力。不管怎样羸弱的身躯，总能挑起大山的重量。不管怎样的艰难困苦，总能挺起胸膛，坚定而有力，迈步向前。他们犹如这大山，张开臂膀，撑起我们的蓝天。松间明月石上泉，山的气度抚平了心境。看惯了世态，看淡人生，有我无我，境界由心，先学而后道。

曾经是等待，焦急的徘徊。不确定，那无边的猜测弥漫开来，犹如急湍，在波浪中翻腾，收不住，拢不了。挣扎抑或逃脱，顺流而下还是激流勇进。耐住了，忍下了，乘风拍浪，也可以随心所欲。生之根本不过三餐，食之一口，饮之一瓢，不急不慢，不愠不火，柔如水，淡如烟。看轻了世事种种，看破了红尘点点。是去是留，相遇相知，随心随缘随意。沧海一粟，轻轻来而又轻轻去。心诚，知足而常乐。

所以生者，生而有道；所以往者，无憾无悔。此本无常亦有常。

“只有通过绝望，通过苦难，通过痛苦和无尽的磨练，才能达至信仰。信仰不是非理性的、伤感的、情绪化的、自生自发的。信仰是经历严肃的思考和学习、严格的训练、完全的清醒和节制、谦卑、将自我服从于一个更高的绝对意愿的结果……每个人都可能获得信仰。因为每个人都知道绝望。” -德鲁克

人生的修炼，用绝望的烈火燃烧、融化、铸造，用苦难的锤锻造，千锤百炼才成就生命的锋芒、光泽、气质。

1）秦腔，秦腔又称乱弹，源于西秦腔，流行于我国西北地区的陕西、甘肃、青海、宁夏、新疆等地，又因其以枣木梆子为击节乐器，所以又叫“梆子腔”。以前还是在交大的时候，是从收音机里喜欢上了秦腔。喜欢那种原汁原味的粗犷与质朴。陕甘情怀一在戏-秦腔，一在歌-信天游。西部虽然略显贫瘠，但是这曲调里的苍凉悠远，朴实烈烈。前些天还在看《大秦帝国》，而这秦腔的吼声里我们依然隐隐听到那呐喊，“纠纠老秦，共赴国难”。

2）《秦腔》，贾平凹长篇小说。不得佩服贾平凹对农村生活的观察之深刻，叙事之老练。农村的事情细小琐碎而又错综复杂。能够纵横驰骋而又游刃有余者不多。前有陈忠实的《白鹿原》，后有贾平凹的《秦腔》，两部都如同农村的的史诗，见证了历史的变迁，写就一部时代的挽歌。

This is definitely a masterpiece.

Burns’ original Scots verse^[1]

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind ?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne ?

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my jo,

For auld lang syne,

We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp !
And surely I’ll be mine !
And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu’d the gowans fine ;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary foot,
Sin auld lang syne.

CHORUS

We twa hae paidl’d i' the burn,
Frae morning sun till dine ;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
Sin auld lang syne.

CHORUS

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere !
And gie's a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll tak a right gude-willy waught,
For auld lang syne.

CHORUS

The gold old times, how come it past so fast, left only the ever-lasting trust.

Just cannot help it, I love the lyrics and its melody, it is gorgeous.
