精神明亮的人

王开岭

    ①十九世纪的一个黎明,在巴黎乡下一栋亮灯的木屋里,居斯塔夫·福楼拜在给最亲密的女友写信:“我拼命工作,天天洗澡,不接待来访,不看报纸,按时看日出(像现在这样)。我工作到深夜,窗户敞开,不穿外衣,在寂静的书房里……”

    ②“按时看日出”,我被这句话猝然绊倒了。

    ③一位以“面壁写作”为誓志的世界文豪,一个如此吝惜时间的人,却每天惦记着“日出”,把再寻常不过的晨曦之降视若一件盛事,当作一门必修课来迎对……为什么?

    ④它像一盆水波醒了我,浑身打个激凌。我竭力去想象、去模拟那情景,并久久地揣摩、体味着它……

    ⑤陪伴你的,有刚苏醒的树木,略含咸味的风,玻璃般的草叶,潮湿的土腥味,清脆的雀啼,充满果汁的空气,仍在饶舌的蟋蟀……还有远处闪光的河带,岸边的薄雾,红或蓝的牵牛花,隐隐颤栗的棘条,一两滴被蛐声惊落的露珠,月挂树梢的氤氲,那蛋壳般薄薄的静……

    ⑥从词的意义上说,黑夜意味着堰息和孕育;而日出,则象征着一种诞生,一种升跃和伊始,乃富有动感、饱含汁液和青春性的一个词。它意味着你的生命画册又添置了新的页码,你的体能电池又注入了新的热力。

    ⑦正像分娩决不重复,“日出”也从不重复。它拒绝抄袭和雷同,因为它是艺术,是大自然的最宠爱的一幅杰作。

    ⑧黎明,拥有一天中最纯澈、最鲜泽、最让人激动的光线,那是灵魂最易受孕、最受鼓舞的时刻,那是生命最易受鼓舞、最能添置信心和热望的时刻,也是最让青春荡漾、幻念勃发的时刻。使我们看清了远方的事物,看清了险些忘却的东西,看清了梦想、光阴、生机和道路……

    ⑨迎接晨曦,不仅是感官愉悦,更是精神体验;不仅是人对自然的阅读,更是大自然以其神奇作用于生命的一轮撞击。它意味着一场相遇,让我们有机会和生命完成一次对视,有机会深情地打量自己,获得对个体更细腻、清新的感受。

    ⑩“按时看日出”,乃生命健康与积极性情的一个标志,更是精神明亮的标志。它不仅代表了一记生存姿态,更昭示着一种热爱生活的理念,一种生命哲学和精神美学。

    ⑪透过那橘色晨曦,我触摸到了一幅优美剪影:一个人在给自己的生命举行升旗!

    ⑫在一个普通人的生涯中,有过多少次沐浴晨曦的体验?我们创造过多少这样的机会?

    ⑬仔细想想,或许确有过那么一两回吧。可那又是怎样的情景呢?比如某个刚下火车的凌晨——睡眼惺松,满脸疲态的你,不情愿地背着包,拖着灌铅的腿,被人流推操着,在昏黄的路灯陪衬下,涌向出站口。踩上站前广场的那一刹,一束极细的腥红的浮光突然鱼鳍般游来,吹在你脸上——你倏地意识到:日出了!但这个闪念并没有打动你,你丝毫不关心它……

    ⑭或许还有其它的机会,比如登黄山、游五岳什么的:蹲在人山人海中,蜷在租来的军大衣里,无聊而焦急地看夜光表,熬上一宿。终于,当人群开始骚动,在巨大的欢呼声中,大幕拉开,期待已久的演出来了……然而,这一切都是在混乱、嘈杂、拥挤不堪中进行的,越过无数的后脑勺和下巴,你终于看见了,和预期的一模一样。你会突然惊醒:这是早就被设计好了的,美则美,但就是感觉不对劲儿。

    ⑮而更多的人,或许连一次都没有!一生中的那个时刻,他们无不蜷缩在被子里。他们在昏迷,在蒙头大睡,在冷漠地打着呼噜——第一万次、几万次地打着呼噜。那光线永远照不到他们,照不见那身体和灵魂。

    ⑯放弃早晨,意味着什么呢?意味着你已先被遗弃了。意味着你所看到的世界是旧的,和昨天一模一样的“陈”。仿佛一个人老是吃经年发霉的粮食,永远轮不上新的,永远只会把新的变成旧的。意味着不等你开始,不等你站在起点上,就已被抛至中场,就像一个人未谙童趣即已步入中年。

    ⑰多少年,我都没有因光线而激动的生命清晨了。

    “Image is everything.” An entire industry has been built upon the concept that image is everything, but an appealing image isn't enough when there's no substance behind it.

    First of all, one should consider how important image is in selling products and services. Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection. But if the product or service doesn't live up to it, customers will be very dissatisfied. The recent scandal (丑闻) about the Arthur Andersen accounting firm showed that behind that image, it had unfair business practices under the table. Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions. Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to its downfall.

    Similarly, personal consultants(顾问) can build up a very positive public image for politicians and movie stars in the view of the general commons. But once again, history is filled with examples of both that fell from grace (体面) like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune. With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind it, failure is close.

    To conclude, it's clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the “selling” of a person. But image is only half of the equation(等式). What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself — the person or product must live up to that image or there's little chance for long-term success.
