人们永不满足所拥有的

I think it’s probably true that people are neversatisfied with what they have. They always wantsomething more or something different from what is theirs. This just seems to be part of ourhuman nature. Look at a toddler, Give her a toy to play with and she’ happy—until she seessomething else. Then she wants that other toy to play with. If she and her brother are eachgiven a cookie, she’ll look to see whose cookie is bigger. She’ll protest loudly if she thinks herbrother is getting more.

“The grass is always greener” is an old expression, but it’s a good expression of how many of usfeel. We’re always striving for a better job, a nicer place to live, a fancier car, or moreexpensive clothes. Part of this reaching for more and better is because we care about what otherpeople think and want to impress them. Part of it is trying to make ourselves feel there’ also something in our nature that tells us we can do better and reach higher.

This isn’t always a negative quality. There’s another saying: ”A man’s reach should excess hisgrasp. Or what’s a heaven for?” It’s a good thing to be constantly pushing ourselves andlooking for something different. If we don’t try for more and different things, we begin tostagnate, like a pool that doesn’t get any fresh water.

The problem comes when we won’t let ourselves be satisfied with anything we have. If we havea comfortable life and still feel as if something ‘s missing, then we need to look inward. Thesomething that’s missing may be in our spirit.

文史比数理更重要吗

I think it’s more important for students to studyhistory and literature. these subjects help usunderstand the human race and feed our spirits and our imaginations. That’s more importantthan understanding how to split the atom or do algebra.

People talk about a crisis of spirit in our country. They mean we’ve forgotten how to believe inand understand our own better natures. I think part of this is because we’ve become tooexcited about facts and not enough about things we can’t see and measure. Reading booksfrom our own culture helps us understand our roots. Reading books from other cultures helpsus understand the way other people think and react to situations. It also teaches us that we’renot so very different from others, and that leads to better relations between cultures.

Reading literature also feeds our spirits. Even when the material we’re reading is about terriblesadness and hardship, it still brings us in touch with our inner selves. It makes us think aboutissues other than new car we want to drive or how much money we’re making.

Studying history gives us more information than just who died when or who won which war. Ittell us about how human beings have related to each other at different periods in ourdevelopment. It gives us the big picture. So often, when international crises occur, we only seethe problem of the moment. We have no idea how something that happened twenty years agowas the beginning of this current problem. Without that information, we can have only ashallow understanding of ? going on in the world.

Both history and literature are necessary subjects for students to prepare for more than justcareers. These subjects prepare students for the way they want to live their lives.
