当我被上帝造出来时,
上帝问我想在人间当一个怎样的人,
我不假思索的说,
我要做一个伟大的世人皆知的人。于是,我降临在了人间。
我出生在一个官僚知识分子之家,
父亲在朝中做官,
精读诗书
,
母亲知书答
礼,温柔体贴,父母给我去了一个好听的名字:李
清照。
小时侯,
受父母影响的我饱读
诗书,
聪明伶俐,
在朝中享有“神童”的称号。
小时候的我天真活泼,才思敏捷,小河畔,花丛边撒满了我的诗我的笑,无可置
疑,小时侯的我快乐无虑。
“兴尽晚回舟,误入藕花深处。争
渡,争渡,惊起一滩鸥鹭。”青春的我如
同一只小鸟,自由自在,没有约束,少女纯净的
心灵常在朝阳小,流水也被自然
洗礼,纤细的手指拈一束花,轻抛入水,随波荡漾,发髻
上沾着晶莹的露水,双
脚任水流轻抚。身影轻飘而过,留下一阵清风。
< br>
可是晚年的我却生活在一片黑暗之中,
家庭的衰败,
社会的改
变,
消磨着我
那柔弱的心。
我几乎对生
活绝望,
每天在痛苦中消磨时光,
一切都好象是灰暗的。
“寻寻觅觅冷冷清清凄凄惨惨戚戚”这千古叠词句就是我当时心情的写照。
最后,香消玉殒,我在痛苦和哀怨中凄凉的死去。
p>
在天堂里,我又见到了上帝。上帝问我过的怎么样,我摇摇头又点点头,我
< br>的一生有欢乐也有坎坷,
有笑声也有泪水,
有鼎盛也有衰
落。
我始终无法客观的
评价我的一生。
我原以为做一个着名的人,
一生应该是被欢乐荣誉所包围,
可我
发现我错了。于是在下一轮回中,我选择做一个平凡的人。
<
/p>
我来到人间,
我是一个平凡的人,
我既不
着名也不出众,
但我拥有一切的幸
福:我有温馨的家,我有可亲
可爱的同学和老师,我每天平凡而快乐的活着,这
就够了。
天儿蓝
蓝风儿轻轻,
暖和的春风带着春的气息吹进明亮的教室,
我坐在
教室
的窗前,望着我拥有的一切,我甜甜的笑了。我拿起手中的笔,不禁想起曾经作
p>
诗的李清照,
我虽然没有横溢的才华,
但我
还是拿起手中的笔,
用最朴实的语言,
写下了一时的感受:
p>
人生并不总是完美的,
每个人都会有不如
意的地方。
这就需要我们静下心来
阅读自己的人生,体会其中无
尽的快乐和与众不同。
“富不读书富不久,
< br>穷不读书终究穷。
”为什么从古到今都那么看重有学识
之
人?那是因为有学识之人可以为社会做出更大的贡献。
那时因为读书能给人带
来快乐。
自从看了《丑小鸭》这篇童话之后,我
变了,变得开朗起来,变得乐意同别
人交往,
变得自信了……因
为我知道:
即使现在我是只“丑小鸭”,
但只要有自
信,总有一天我会
变成“白天鹅”的,而且会是一只世界上最美丽的“白天
鹅”……
我读完了这篇美丽的童话故事,
深深被丑小鸭的自信和乐观
所折服,
并把故
事讲给了外婆听,
外婆
也对童话带给我们的深刻道理而惊讶不已。
还吵着闹着多
看几本
名着。
于是我给外婆又买了几本名着故事,
她起先自己读,
p>
读到不认识的
字我就告诉她,如果这一面生字较多,我就读给她听整
个一面。渐渐的,自己的
语文阅读能力也提高了不少,
与此同时
我也发现一个人读书的乐趣远不及两个人
读的乐趣大,
而两个人
读书的乐趣远不及全家一起读的乐趣大。
于是,
我便发展
“业务”带动全家一起读书……现在,
每每遇到好书大家也不分男女老
少都一拥
而上,争先恐后“抢书”,当我说起我最小应该让我的时候,却没有人搭理我。
最后还把书给撕坏了,
我生气地哭了,
妈妈一边安慰我一边对外婆说:
“孩子小,
应该让着点。
”外婆却不服气的说:
“我这一把年纪的了,
怎么没人让我呀?”
大家人你一言我一语,谁也不肯相让……读书让我明白了善恶美丑、
悲欢离合,
读一本好书,犹如同智者谈心、谈理想,教你辨别善恶,教你弘扬正义。读一本
好书
,如品一杯香茶,余香缭绕。读一本好书,能使人心灵得到净化。书是我的
老师,把知识
传递给了我;书是我的伙伴,跟我诉说心里话;书是一把钥匙,给
我敞开了知识的大门;
书更是一艘不会沉的船,
引领我航行在人生的长河中。
其
实读书的真真乐趣也就在于此处,
不是一个人
闷头苦读书;
也不是读到好处不与
他人分享,
< br>独自品位;
更不是一个人如痴如醉地沉浸在书的海洋中不能自拔。
而
是懂得与朋友,
家人一起分享其中的乐趣。
这才是读书真正之乐趣呢!
这所有的
一切,不正
是我从书中受到的教益吗?
我阅读,故我美丽;我思考,故我
存在。我从内心深处真切地感到:我从读
书中受到了教益。
当看
见有些同学宁可买玩具亦不肯买书时,
我便想到培根所说
的话:
“世界上最庸俗的人是不读书的人,
最吝啬的人是不买书的人,
最可怜的
人是与书无缘的人。
”许许多
多的作家、
伟人都十分喜欢看书,
例如毛泽东主席,
他半边床上都是书,一读起书来便进入忘我的境界。
