勵志短語（一）

整理一下近期收集的勵志短語。

Every word you speak has immense power, because it is a thought in action. There is an invincible power in every word you speak! You are a human being filled with unlimited possibilities, and the words you speak can either build a jail around you where you see only limitations, or they can set you free to live your life without any limits. Change your words and you will change your life! (The Secret Daily Teachings)

認罪

凡人離至善、至美的境界，都有差距。

基督教認為這個差距，就是「罪」。

認罪，就是承認自己有不足，面對自己的缺陷，並願意往至善、至美境界努力。

什麼叫「根本不合理」？

中國時報這篇新聞《「宣告死刑還鞭屍」 民股：很傷心》：

國光石化民股主管表示，國光石化案即使有條件通過，環評委員開出不准排碳、不准用大度攔河堰水源等條件，已宣告國光石化死刑；

通常在一個對立激烈的談判協商過程，在獲致結論使用的文字特別斟酌再三，必須跳脫使用文字本身的意義，而以「文本」（text）角度切進去，瞭解其真正的意涵。

以這段新聞引用的文字而言，當出現「不准排碳」這幾個文字時，放置在石化產業營運架構下來理解，正如下一段所言：

環評委員開出的附帶條件，十分嚴苛，根本就是要廠商無法生存；比方說，不准排碳，就很難解決，「人活著都要呼吸，都要『排氣』，其中就含二氧化碳，但是工廠運作就被要求零排碳，根本不合理。」

問題不在於「合理」或「不合理」，而是可以看出幾個問題：

1. 環評委員不願意或不同意通過該案。

2. 環評委員「不敢」得罪國光石化。

3. 對這條件，國光石化「可以接受」。

由此又衍生出二個現象：

1. 環評委員之所以「不敢」得罪國光石化，因為按其組織章程，環評委員本來就僅具「諮詢」性質，並非「獨立」、「客觀」、「公正」的單位。

2. 國光石化之所以「可以接受」，不客觀的講，就是台灣企業「管他違不違法，先做再說，有問題再找人解決」的心態。這種心態，好聽的叫「敢衝」、「有活力」，企管專家們美其名叫「彈性」、「適應力」、「執行力」。但究其實，只是為了自己賺錢，就可目無法紀的胡作非為。

梁啟超的讀書方法

梁啟超在〈治國學雜話〉一篇文章中，對青年人的讀書態度和方法提出建議，整理如下：

中國書沒有整理過，十分難讀，這是人人公認的。但會做學問的人，覺得趣味就在這一點。吃現成，是最沒有意思的事，是最沒有出息的人才喜歡的。一種問題，被別人做完了，四平八正的編成教科書樣子給我讀，讀去自然是毫不費力。但從這不費力上頭結果便令我的心思不細緻不刻入。專門喜歡讀這類書的人，久而久之，會把自己創作的才能淹沒哩。

若問讀書方法，我想向諸君上一個條陳：這方法是極陳舊極笨極麻煩的，然而實在是極必要的。什麼方法呢？是抄錄或筆記。

好記性的人不見得便有智慧；有智慧的人比較的倒是記性不甚好。你所看見者是他發表出來的成果，不知他這成果原是從銖積寸累困之勉行得來的。大抵凡一個大學者平日用功，總是有無數小冊子或單紙片，讀書看見一段資料覺其有用者，即刻抄下。（短的抄全文，長的摘要記書名卷數頁數）。資料漸漸積的豐富，再用眼光來整理分析他，變成一篇名著。

青年學生"斐然有述做之譽"，也是實際上鞭策學問的一種妙用。譬如同是讀《文獻通考》的《錢幣考》、各史《食貨志》中錢幣項下各文，泛泛讀去，沒有什麼所得。倘若你一面讀一面便打主意做一篇中國貨幣沿革考，這篇考做得好不好另一問題，你所讀的自然加幾倍受用。

每日所讀之書，最好分兩類：一類是精讀的，一類是涉覽的。因為我們一面要養成讀書心細的習慣，一面要養成讀書眼快的習慣。心不細則毫無所得，等於白讀；眼不快則時候不夠用，不能博搜資料。精讀之書，每日指定某時刻讀他，讀時一字不放過，讀完一部才讀別部，想抄錄的隨讀隨抄。另外指出一時刻，隨意涉覽，覺得有趣，注意細看，覺得無趣，便翻次頁，遇有想抄錄的，也俟讀完再抄，當時勿窒其機。
