Ordinary or Extraordinary?
I have heard a story about two workers. One day, a reporter came and asked the first worker what he was doing. He complained that he was virtually a slave, an underpaid bricklayer who spent the whole days on placing bricks on top of one another. The reporter asked the second worker the same question. However, his response was quite different. “I am a lucky dog in the world,” he said, “I am getting to be a part of the important and beautiful architecture. And I help turn the simple bricks into perfect masterpieces.”
They were both right .
The truth is that we see what we want to see in life. If you want to find fault with others, your career, or anything in general, you will certainly be able to do so. But the opposite is also true. If you look for something extraordinary in what looks ordinary, you can train yourself to see it.
The bricklayer sees buildings with bricks. The question is if you can. Can you see the extraordinary that exists in our daily life? Can you see the perfection of the universe in action? Can you see the extraordinary beauty of nature? And can you see the incredible miracle of human life?
To me, it's only a matter of intention. There is so much for us to be grateful for, so such for us to be in awe about. Life is precious and extraordinary!
So, if you put your attention to this fact, the little, ordinary things will take on a completely new extraordinary meaning.
平凡與不平凡
我曾聽過一則關於兩個工人的故事。一天，有位記者來到工地，先問第一個工人在做什麼。這位工人怨氣十足地回答說自己只不過是一個奴隸，一個收入菲薄的磚瓦匠。可是當記者問到第二個工人同樣的問題時，這位工人的回答卻大不相同。“我是這個世界上最幸運的人。”他說道，“我是這巨大而美麗的建築的一部分，我用自己的努力將簡單的磚塊兒變成完美的傑作。”
他們的回答都是正確的。
他們的回答之所以不同，在於他們看待生活的方式不同。我們想在生活中看到什麼，我們就會看到什麼。如果你想在別人身上找毛病，想在事業上找過失，想在這個世界上找缺陷，你一定能找到。相反，如果你想找到好的一面，你也一定能找到。如果想在平凡中尋找不平凡，你也一定能找到。
那位建築工人可以從磚塊兒看到大廈。我們能否?我們能從平凡的生活中看到非凡嗎?我們能看到運動中的宇宙的完美嗎?我們能看到大自然的美韻嗎?我們又能看到人類生活當中正孕育着那超乎想象奇蹟嗎?
在我看來，這只不過是一種生活態度。世上既有無數令人感激的事情，也有無數令人可怕的事情。正因如此，生活纔是那麼的珍貴和不平凡阿!
所以，假如你能專注平凡的事情，哪怕再渺小、再平凡的事物也會富有嶄新的不平凡的意義。
