享福与吃苦

何仲英

    ①现在我国人的大毛病,是只图享福,不愿吃苦。有许多青年人看见人家享福,羡慕得很;勉强他们暂吃辛苦,而他们的欲望,他们的希冀,总是对准享福的方面去进行。只望“做得人上人”,不愿“吃得苦中苦”。这种观念,虽不敢说普遍存在于一般青年的脑海当中,但至少有一部分,甚至有一大部分,我们不得不注意,不得不觉悟。

    ②我们不必希望做“人上人”。我既是人中一人,就当尽人的一份责任。没有农夫,哪里有饭吃?没有瓦匠、木匠,哪里有房子住?没有工、商,哪里有物品?没有效命沙场的战士,哪里可以克服敌人,保护我们的安全?没有呕心绞脑的学人,哪里会有发明、发现和著述,安慰我们的精神?我们一时一刻的需要,都有无数的劳动者——无论是劳心或劳力——辛辛苦苦地来供给,而我们坐享其福;我们若不是也吃一点苦,也尽一点责,我们非但对不起他们,也何以对得起自己呢?

    ③我们须知最可敬爱的,是世上最大多数的平民,他们尽管做一天人,干一天事,他们的生命,总是完全靠吃苦来撑持的。吃苦的人多,社会国家自然富强;吃苦的人少,社会国家自然衰弱。若是都要享福,不愿吃苦,国家未有不亡,享福也就等于泡影,终致吃苦而已!

    ④我们翻开历史来看,古今中外,几多圣贤豪杰,哪一个不是从吃苦磨炼出来的?孔子一车两马,周游天下,宁受天下人揶揄,而救世之心,终不稍减,奔波之苦,迄未挂怀。这种吃苦的精神,尤其是我们应该崇尚的。再看看晋朝名臣陶侃,他怕生活过于松散,每天要搬砖头;英国名相格兰斯顿,每日午饭后要劈一个钟头的柴。难道他们一个要做瓦匠,一个要做火伕吗?笑话,笑话,他们决不是的。他们不过借此锻炼吃苦的精神,恐怕身体安逸了,将来不能做事,他们的用心,是很深的。

    ⑤《论语》说:“饱食终日,无所用心,难矣哉!”《大学》又说:“小人闲居为不善,无所不至。”王阳明解说道:“闲居时有何不善可为,只有一种懒散精神,漫无着落,便是万恶渊薮,便是小人无忌惮处。”前清末年,京城里旗人个个总靠一份口粮,舒舒服服过日子,个个都是整日地拿着一个雀笼,口里哼着几句京腔,这种暮气的现象,哪里还能够支持得住国家!

    ⑥我们不怕享不到福,只怕吃不到苦。享福、吃苦,都是有代价的。以吃苦始者,多以享福终。吃一己之苦者,享一己之福;吃众人之苦者,享众人之福。真正会享福的,先要备尝艰苦,而后苦尽甜来,始有滋味。孟子说:“天将降大任于是人也,必先苦其心志,劳其筋骨,饿其体肤,空乏其身,行拂乱其所为,所以动心忍性,曾益其所不能。”这是磨炼意志的最好机会,这是鼓励吃苦的不二法门。

    ⑦我们虽不必有范文正公“先天下之忧而忧,后天下之乐而乐”的气概,但至少要有陶侃、格兰斯顿的勤恳不懈的精神。我们虽不见得有什么大苦可吃,但至少要屏除一切奢侈浮靡的不良习惯。做人要从吃苦做起,吃苦要从微处做起。“吃得苦中苦,做得人中人。”这是对诸位的一点贡献。
