    ①只有内在品格确实很高的人,才可以不计较小节。犹如没有衬景的宝石,必须自身珍贵才会蒙受爱重一样。

    ②深入观察人生会看出,获得赞扬之道犹如经营致富之道,正像一句俗话所说:“薄利才能多销。”同样,小节上的一丝不苟常可赢得很高的称赞。因为小节更易为人注意,而施展大才的机会犹如节日,并非每天都有。因此,举止彬彬有礼的人,一定能赢得好的名誉。这正如西班牙的伊丽莎白女王所说,“礼节乃是一封通行四方的推荐书”。

    ③其实要习得优美的举止,只要做到细心就可以。因为人只要不粗忽,他就自然会乐于观察和模仿别人的优点。礼节要举止自然才显得高贵。假如表现过于做作,那就失去了应有的价值。因为举止言谈优美本身就包括自然和纯真。有的人举止言谈好像在作曲,其中的每一个音节都仔细推敲过。但这种明察秋毫的人,却可能不见舆薪。也有人举止粗放不拘礼仪,这种不自重的结果使别人也放弃对他的尊重。

    ④礼仪是微妙的东西。它既是人类间交际所不可或缺的,却又是不可过于计较的。如果把礼仪形式看得高于一切,结果就会失去人与人真诚的信任。因此在语言交际中要善于找到一种分寸,使之既直爽又不失礼。这是最好又是最难的。

    ⑤要注意——在亲密的同伴之间应保持矜持以免被狎犯。在地位较低的下属面前却不妨显得亲密,这样会倍受敬重。事事都伸头的人是自轻自贱并惹人厌嫌的。好心助人时要让人感到这种帮助是出自对他的爱重,而并非你天性多情乐施。表示一种赞同的时候,不要忘记略示还有保留——以表明这种赞同并非阿谀而是经过思考。即使对很能干的人,也不可过于恭维,否则难免被你的嫉妒者看作拍马屁。在面临大事之际,就不要过于计较形式。否则将如所罗门所说的:“看风者无法播种,看云者不得收获。”只有愚者才等待机会,而智者则造就机会。总而言之,礼貌举止好比人的穿衣——既不可太宽也不可太紧。要讲究有余地,宽裕而不失大体,如此行动才能自如。

    In this day and age taking a photograph is easier than ever. There are cameras built into our phones, computers, iPods…The way we share photos has also changed. There was a time when you'd print your photos and put them into photo albums, but because of the advance in technology, all in technology, all this has changed.

    Not only do we have what seems like an endless amount of space to store photos on our devices, but we also have the Internet, especially social media. Social networks such as Facebook allow us to post our pictures and albums to share friends and family.

    While you could argue this easy ability to store, share and enjoy photos is fantastic, it could also be said that photographs have lost some of their meaning. I have over 1000 pictures on my smart phone and several thousand stored on my computer. I love posting my pictures on Facebook. Sometimes, however, I try to ask myself, will I really want to look back at this picture of a coffee or a selfie taken in a bathroom by myself? Probably not.

    Even though I'm guilty about sometimes taking meaningless and boring pictures like this, a couple of years ago, I decided to find a way to make my photographs more meaningful. How did I do this? Disposable (一次性)cameras! When I go on a trip, I always try to take a disposable camera. With only 27 pictures you can take, you really think about the photograph straight away. And finally, it's so much fun to get the pictures developed and look through them again.

    I admit that I couldn't live without social media or taking photographs with my smart phone, but I do think taking photographs has become less meaningful. That's why I'll continue using disposable cameras. It's a great way to make your photographs more meaningful.
