唐君毅 – 《告新亞書院第六屆畢業同學書》
(一)
本屆畢業同學，都是在我們學校未與雅禮協會合作以前到學校的。再下一屆的畢業同學，便不是了。我們學校之與雅禮協會合作，當然是本校校史上之一最重要的階段。沒有雅禮協會的合作，使我們學校，能有新的校舍，得增加許多好的先生與同學，我們的學校不會有今天的進步，亦不會使社會上都逐漸知道我們的學校。對於雅禮協會的合作，我們當然是應該感謝的。但是我卻總是不能忘懷在與雅禮協會合作以前的我們之學校之一段歷史，而對那時到學校的同學，另有一種感情。而到你們這一屆的同學畢業後，則原來的同學都完全離校了。這使我覺得有些話，不能不藉此機會說一說。 Continue reading 唐君毅 – 《告新亞書院第六屆畢業同學書》
和諧的極致 – 鄉愿
剛剛聽了陶傑、鮑偉聰、健吾的一集光明頂，內容關於中大擺放民主女神像一事，當中講到「鄉愿」一詞。
什麼是「鄉愿」？孔子為什麼討厭「鄉愿」？
孔子追求的理想人格是仁智雙彰、文質彬彬的君子人格。具體而言就是能做到中庸，做到仁與禮的統一，即既能堅持仁義的原則，又能與周圍的世界和諧相處。然而有一種人，他們八面玲瓏，四處迎合，趨炎附勢，隨波逐流，看起來和別人關係融洽，一片和諧，其實沒有一貫的原則。孔子把這種人稱為「鄉愿」，也就是偽君子，並認為他們是「德之賊」，是賊害道德的人。 Continue reading 和諧的極致 – 鄉愿
唐君毅 – 《說青年之人生》
(一)
人生如四季﹐青年如春﹐壯年如夏﹐中年如秋﹐老年如冬。四季各有其景象。除非聖人﹐人難兼備四時之氣於一時。青年﹐壯年﹐中年﹐老年﹐應各有其適宜而合理之人生。
老年應如冬日之可愛﹐以一慈祥煦育之心﹐護念後生。
中年應如平湖秋月﹐胸懷灑落﹐作事功成而不居。 Continue reading 唐君毅 – 《說青年之人生》

Soichiro Honda
名言十三
Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.
Thomas J. Watson

There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it reluctantly.

Failure Is The Mother Of Success
At the age of seven, a young boy and his family were forced out of their home. The boy had to work to support his family. At the age of nine, his mother passed away. When he grew up, the young man was keen to go to law school, but had no education.
