Reading Report of Pride and Prejudice

Before reading Pride and Prejudice，I simply regarded it as a love story，however，after reading，I found that it is an illustration of the society of Britain in 18th century。

First of all，let me introduce the author of this book。Jane Austen who was one of the most famous female writer in Britain even in the whole world。Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote Pride and Prejudice，her sharp observation of lives made the whole book mature and lively。She perfectly reflected the relationship between money and marriage at her time and gave vivid characters in her book。Today，Pride and Prejudice still can be one of the guides telling us the relationship between money and marriage both at her time and modern time。

Secondly，let me introduce the main plot and characters in that book。Novel through four marriage to elaborate the relationship between money and marriage。I think Mr.Bennet is a hidden man.。For example，when his wife asking him to pay a visit to Mr.Bingley，he seems unwilling to do that，however，he early did in fact。Mrs.Bennet is a neurotic vanity and shortsighed woman。There is nothing important than marring off her five daughters。

I will introduce the five daughters in turn。Jane is a beautiful，simply and innocent girl。She never speak evil of others。Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion。Mary likes reading classic books and feigning elegant。Actually she is a pedant。Lydia is a little profligate girl who likes to follow handsome boys。Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister，Lydia。

There is male actors in following。Mr.Bingley is just what a young man ought to be。But his friend，Mr.Darcy，is an arrogant man who seems always feel suprior。Mr.Bingley’sister，Miss.Caroline，is a snobbish girl。The officer Mr.Wickham is a yellow dog。The Bennet’cousin Mr.Collin is a man who attaches bigwigs。

Thirdly，I will show you some of my feelings。Before this，I must introduce the background information about Britain in 18th century?！癘nly the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’ possessions。Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives had no choice but marry a man or a woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives?！盕ORM INTERNET

Thus，we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier，particularly for women without many possession。Furtherly，the marriage in Pride and Prejudice is not the result of love，but economic needs。Miss.Caroline strongly opposed Mr.Bingley’plan of marring Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them。In modern society，although the marriage of economic needs have decreased rapidly，the concept of “money determines everything”is still rooted in some people’ mind。Marry for money is still a big problem in our society。Today，possession，education background，jobs’condition remains the main reasons that may influence one’ marriage。

Above is my reading report。

II.Summary The story shows the British society's life at that time by describing the marriage problems.It mainly describes the love story of Bennet ’s several daughters.Mr.Bingley is newly from London and falls in love with the biggest daughter, Jane.His friend Darcy is sweet upon the second daughter Elizabeth, but their marriage moves slowly for some reasons.After a range of interesting troubles, the misunderstandings are finally removed.With Darcy overcomes his pride, and Elizabeth overcomes her prejudice, they get together finally.By describing different marriages, Austin expresses her opinions of the marriage which insist on the understanding to each other.To a certain extent, this novel also reflects the wish for the independent marriage for women at that time.Mr.Bennet is an English gentleman living in Hertfordshire with his overbearing wife.The Bennets 5 daughters: the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and the wild Lydia.Unfortunately for the Bennets, if Mr.Bennet dies their house will be inherited by a distant cousin whom they have never met, so the family's future happiness and security are dependent on the daughters making good marriages.Life is uneventful until the arrival in the neighborhood of the rich gentleman Mr.Bingley, who rents a large house so he can spend the summer in the country.Mr.Bingley brings with him his sister and his friend Mr.Darcy.One night, at a dancing party, Mr.Bingley is well-received in the community;but Mr.Darcy is very proud and indifferent to other people.Mr.Bingley falls in love with Jane immediately, and so does Jane.Mr.Bingley and Jane Bennet begin to grow close relationship despite Mrs.Bennet's interference and the opposition of Bingley's sister.Because of Mr.Darcy’s pride, Elizabeth is stung by his haughty rejection of her and decides to match his coldness with her own wit.Sometime later, Mr.Darcy begins to develop interests in Elizabeth.At another dancing party, Mr.Darcy invites Elizabeth to dance only to be refused.Mr.Darcy is in a difficult position.At the same time

Elizabeth begins a friendship with Mr.Wickham, a militia officer who relates a prior acquaintance with Darcy.Wickham tells her that he has been seriously mistreated by Darcy.Elizabeth immediately seizes upon this information as another reason to hate Darcy.Bingley's sister has pursuit Mr.Darcy for a long time, but when she finds that Mr.Darcy is fond of Elizabeth.The anger makes her prevent the development of their relationship.In addition, Mr.Darcy also dislikes Elizabeth’s mother and sisters for their vulgarism.Finally, Mr.Bingley leaves London under the persuasion of his sister and Mr.Darcy.Before Bingley leaves, Mr.Collins, the male relative who is to inherit Longbourn, makes a sudden appearance and stays with the Bennets.He is a recently ordained clergyman employed by the wealthy and patronizing Lady Catherine de Bourgh.Collins has another reason for visiting: he wishes to find a wife from among the Bennet sisters.Mr.Bennet and Elizabeth are amused by his self-important and pedantic behavior.He immediately enters pursuit of Jane;however, when Mrs.Bennet mentions her preoccupation with Mr.Bingley, he turns to Elizabeth.He soon proposes marriage to Elizabeth, only to be refused again.Collins quickly recovers and proposes to Elizabeth's close friend, Charlotte Lucas, who immediately accepts him.Once the marriage is arranged, Charlotte asks Elizabeth to come for an extended visit.In the spring, Elizabeth joins Charlotte and her cousin at his parish in Kent.The parish is adjacent to Rosings Park, the grand manor of Mr.Darcy's aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, where Elizabeth frequently invites.While calling on Lady Catherine, Mr.Darcy encounters Elizabeth.She discovers from a cousin of Darcy that it is he who separates Bingley and Jane.Soon after, Darcy admits his love of Elizabeth and proposes to her.Insulted by his high-handed and insulting manner of proposing, Elizabeth refuses him.When he asks why she should refuse him, she tells him the story of Bingley and Jane, furthermore, she also takes Mr.Wickham’s story as an example to blame Mr.Darcy.Deeply shaken by Elizabeth's vehemence and accusations, Darcy writes her a letter justifying his actions and decides to change himself.In the letter, he says that it is Wickham who uses up all the legacy-settlement.As for Bingley and Jane, Darcy justifies his actions from having observed that Jane does not show any reciprocal interest in his friend;thus his aim in separating them is mainly to protect Bingley from heartache.Darcy admits he is concerned about the disadvantageous connection with Elizabeth's family, especially her embarrassing mother and wild younger sisters.After reading the letter, Elizabeth begins to question both her family's behaviors and Wickham's credibility;she concludes that Wickham is not as trustworthy as his easy manners would indicate, and that her early impressions of Darcy may not have been accurate.Soon after receiving the letter Elizabeth returns home.Some months later, during a tour of Derbyshire with her aunt and uncle, Elizabeth visits Darcy's estate.There they meet again, and Darcy is different from before.He becomes friendly and modest, which leaves Elizabeth a good impression.Some good things happening between Darcy and Elizabeth when news arrives that Elizabeth's younger sister Lydia has run away with Wickham.Elizabeth is convinced that Darcy will be angry with her.However, Darcy does the opposite thing.With the help of Darcy, Lydia and Wickham are found and married.Bingley and Jane are together after a lot of hardships in the end, but Darcy’s aunt Lady Catherine travels to Longbourn with the sole aim of confronting Elizabeth and demanding that she never accepts such a proposal of marries Darcy.Elizabeth refuses to bow to Lady Catherine's demands.When the news reaches Darcy, it convinces him that her opinion of him has changed.When he visits, he once again proposes marriage.Elizabeth accepts, and the two become engaged.In the end, all the people in the novel are happy, and this is the happy ending.III.Comments

In my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time.It perfectly reflects the relation between money and marriage at her time and gives the people in her works vivid characters.The characters have their own personalities.The most important part of the novel is the love story between Elizabeth and Darcy.Elizabeth is a smart and beautiful girl born in a middle class family who is persistent and brave in the pursuit of love.The story’s spread leads on Elizabeth’s feeling to Darcy: from detestation to admiration and then love.In addition, other people’s happiness also appears during this period of time.Jane Austen writes this for the purpose of showing the thinking of the women’s love, marriage and expectation at that time.Now let me talk something about the marriage in the novel briefly.Elizabeth and Darcy’s marriage is based on both money and love, and love is more important.This is the perfect marriage.The only purpose of Collins and Lucas’ marriage is pursuit.Only by

marrying someone can Lucas feels safety.Jane and Bingley’s marriage is based on beauty and money.This is also a kind of good marriage.They will be happy.Lydia and Wickham’s marriage is only based on passion.They only care about the appearance.We can image whether their life will happy or not.Jane Austen thinks that it is wrong for people to marry for money and social statues;on the other hand, she also disagrees to the marriage regardless of the former aspects.So Jane Austen calls on the reasonable marriage, and the marriage should be based on love.In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind.A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages.Education background, possessions, jobs remain the main reason that may influence one’s marriage.Marrying for money is still a big problem in our society.We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything? Austen left this problem for us to think.The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, and the simplicity that reflects big problems.Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively.The plots in her works are always very natural.The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics.I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic.Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.I really learn a lot from the book, which makes me think a lot.It is one of the best books that I have ever read.Furthermore, I think it is one of the best books that have ever been written.The reason that I have such feelings maybe I really read too few books.So, there are still many wonderful books in front of me waiting to be read.Keep reading, keep moving.

Pride and Prejudice is the story of four marriages in British country of 18th century.Jane Austen shows the pictures of the current social life in Britain through the marriage matter, it also reflects her views on marriage.The book describes the

virtuous and emotional entanglements among the single young Darcy and the second Miss.Elizabeth, and the wealthy single Bingley and the eldest Miss.Jane.The most important love story naturally happens between Elizabeth and Darcy.There’re three marriages interspersed in it.Collins and Charlotte’s business marriage just satisfies their dreams.Collins wants a wife, and Charlotte wants a husband.Wickham and Lydia’s frivolous marriage just meets their benefits.Lydia completes her “pursuit”, and Wickham gains some money.Bingley and Jane’s marriage is happy with true

feelings, like Darcy and Elizabeth’s.They have feelings for each other in the ball, and have deeper contacts with each other.But they two can’t determine the other’s mind;Bingley is persuaded by Darcy to give the affection and he leaves Jane.Jane lives in sadness.So does Bingley.He comes back to chase Jane and the lover immerses in the joy.They two are all gentle persons, so their marriage will be comfortable and filled with tender and sweet.(207 Words)

IV.Comments on the book

1.What are the strengths and weaknesses of the book?(≥50words)

Although Austen’s theme is narrow, the story is quite dull, but she is good at

shape distinctive characters in ordinary daily things.Whether Elizabeth and Darcy that the author thinks should be positive character, or Collins this kind of being the object of sarcasm, she presents themin a real way.At the same time, Austin’s language is after temper, she in a dialogue art exquisite humor, satire, often with funny witty language to foil character's personality.This kind of artistic

innovation made her works have their own characteristics

2.What is the part of this book that had the greatest impact on you? Why?(≥

50words)

With the revealing of the truth, Elizabeth’s prejudice on Darcy becomes deeper.Until when Elizabeth refuses Darcy’s long love letter, she experiences the fierce shock.After undergoing a period of painful and profound thought, she could not help but to shout how despicable she is。When we see the blame from heart, we find her

shortcomings and the courage that she could face herself directly.It is her bringing that plays a role;she starts to give up the bias caused by self-esteem, truly and seriously understand Darcy.Elizabeth wouldn't believe the shameless lies about

Darcy said by Han and eliminate the misunderstanding and prejudice.She finally falls in love with Darcy.Is the writing effective, powerful, difficult, or beautiful?(≥50words)

I think it is helpful.The different treatments and attitudes towards these marriages reflect Jane Austen’s views on marriage.It’s wrong for marriage to pursue property,money and high status.She stresses the importance of an ideal marriage and takes the feelings of both men and women as the cornerstone of the ideal marriage.We also learn that pride and prejudice are the very common problems and weaknesses in human’s personality.Everyone is easy to be driven by their own subjective

consciousness or other people’s wrong comments.It may cause a misunderstanding toward a thing or a person.What we should do is to avoid these weaknesses and make them under good regulation.Everything must be based on objective sense and commented with a deeper understanding.1.If you could talk to the author, what would you say?(≥50words)

In this great book, you amply demonstrates your point about love and marriage.And you let me know that at that time, according to the social conditions in

Britain, a good marriage for a young woman was critical.And in the 19th

century, women were not well respected compared with the ones in the present society.There was no equality.between woman and man.Women were

considered to be inferior to men in terms of intelligence and capacity.Now

through this book I find the courage to show ourselves.What did you learn about yourself as a result of reading this book?(≥50words)Thank you.after reading your book I form a positive attitiud to the marrige.now, I thinklove and marriage only by appreciating the marriage founded on the basis of mutual understanding and true love, but also by satirizing the marriage founded on the basis of origin and desire.The marriage based on social position and money can’t bring happy life.3.Note down five useful expressions you learned from your reading and make

on sentence for each expression.1)[Useful expression](p.6)She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper.[Sentence you made]: He is a man in possession of a good fortune.2)[Useful expression](p.4)``My dear Mr.Bennet,'' replied his wife, ``how can you be so tiresome!You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them.''

[Sentence you made]: From the fact that after 100,000 years or a million years or whatever it is, eventually life would grow tiresome, that hardly shows that life has grown tiresome after 50 years or 80 years or 100.3)[Useful expression](p.60)``Indeed I have, Sir,'' was her answer.``She is a great deal too ill to be moved.Mr.Jones says we must not think of moving her.We must trespass a little longer on your kindness.'

[Sentence you made]: I will trespass on your hospitality

4)[Useful expression](p.124)``I remember hearing you once say, Mr.Darcy, that you hardly ever forgave, that your resentment once created was unappeasable.You are very cautious, I suppose, as to its being created.'’

[Sentence you made]: I remember hearing you once say , that you hardly ever forgave, that your resentment once created was unappeasable

5)[Useful expression](p.292)Elizabeth could not repress a smile at this, but she answered only by a slight inclination of the head.[Sentence you made]: However, because they don’t have the emotional tools to integrate the hurt caused by abusive adults, they often repress their feelings as their first line of defence.General remarks:(≥200words)

The writer Jane Austen disclosed mid-class young ladies’ different ideas of marriage and love through describing the different ways in which the Bennet girls doing with their marriage problems, and this undoubtedly shows the writer’s idea about love and marriage: it’s wrong to get married just for property, wealth and status while neither would it be without caring about those elements.Jane Austen just attached great

significance to marriage through her novel by telling people that marriage should be regarded carefully because it is not a game you could just enjoy without prudent

consideration.She also wanted to deliver information that marriage should be based on real love between the lovers.The female subject Elizabeth is a mid-class girl, and Darcy proposed to her regardless of the gap between them, but Elizabeth refused

because of his pride had formed Eli’s prejudice.Cause Darcy’s pride was a suggest of status gap between he and Eli, he wouldn’t have the same thought with Eli and

consequently the ideal marriage.But later Darcy’s doings especially his change of the prideful manner eliminated Eli’s misunderstandings and prejudice about him, and Eli accepted his proposal.Those two opposite attitudes reflect females pursue of

independent personality and equality.I think Elizabeth has personality ethic which caused her independent idea about love and marriage and in consequence she earned a happy life.There’re also Eli’s sisters’ love stories served as contrasts to the female subject’s ideal marriage, such as Charlotte and Collin’s life: they do had a luxury life, but there’s noreal love between them and this kind of marriage is surely a tragedy of society.(_270_ Words)

作者簡介：

簡·奧斯汀，是英國著名女性小說家，她的作品主要關(guān)注鄉(xiāng)紳家庭女性的婚姻和生活，以女性特有的細(xì)致入微的觀察力和活潑風(fēng)趣的文字真實(shí)地描繪了她周圍世界的小天地。

奧斯丁21歲時寫成她的第一部小說，題名《最初的印象》，她與出版商聯(lián)系出版，沒有結(jié)果。就在這一年，她又開始寫《埃莉諾與瑪麗安》，以后她又寫《諾桑覺寺》，于1799年寫完。十幾年后，《最初的印象》經(jīng)過改寫，換名為《傲慢與偏見》，《埃莉諾與瑪麗安》經(jīng)過改寫，換名為《理智與情感》，分別得到出版。至于《諾桑覺寺》，作者生前沒有出書。以上這三部是奧斯丁前期作品，寫于她的故鄉(xiāng)史蒂文頓。

奧斯丁雖然沒有進(jìn)過正規(guī)學(xué)校，但是家庭的優(yōu)良條件和讀書環(huán)境，給了她自學(xué)的條件，培養(yǎng)了她寫作的興趣。她在十三四歲就開始寫東西，顯示了她在語言表達(dá)方面的才能。1816年初她得了重病，身體日益衰弱，1817年5月被送到溫徹斯特接受治療，可是醫(yī)治無效，不幸于同年7月18日死在她姐姐的懷抱里。她終生未婚，安葬在溫徹斯特大教堂。

主要作品：

1： 《理性與感性》（Sense and Sensibility，1811）2：《傲慢與偏見》（Pride and Prejudice，1813）3：《曼斯菲爾德莊園》（Mansfield Park，1814）4：《艾瑪》（Emma，1815）

5：《諾桑覺寺》（Northanger Abbey，1818，死后出版）6：《勸導(dǎo)》（Persuasion，1818，死后出版）

故事簡介：

《傲慢與偏見》是簡·奧斯汀的代表作。故事發(fā)生在一個閉塞的鄉(xiāng)村小鎮(zhèn)：小鄉(xiāng)紳班納特先生有5個女兒，而班納特太太生活中的頭等大事就是為他的5個女兒找到合適的丈夫。為此，她整天東跑西竄，忙個不停，但是她們住的地方太偏僻，一時找不到合適的人選。就在這個時候，兩個單身、富有而且英俊的紳士來到這里度假。這兩個人的到來，不亞于在平靜的水面上投下了一塊巨石。到底班納特太太能不能如愿以償、順順利利地把自己的五個女兒嫁出去呢？作者用詼諧幽默的語言，向我們講述了一樁曲折的姻緣。結(jié)局大大出乎班納特太太、鄰居和親戚們的意料，帶有一股輕喜劇的味道。

班納特家有五個女兒均未出嫁；而班納特太太又是一個神經(jīng)質(zhì)虛榮心十足的女人，將每個女兒嫁出去是她這一生唯一的大事，可她卻從不費(fèi)心管教女兒的舉止；而班納特先生是個顧家的老紳士，卻放任妻子和女兒的不得體行為，寧愿躲進(jìn)圖書室尋求平靜。

簡·班納特是班納特家的大女兒，容貌美麗、性情溫柔、沉靜；伊莉沙白·班納特是班納特家的二女兒，個性活潑大方、聰慧與美貌并俱；三女兒瑪麗容貌不若其它姊妹出色，因此便在品德及知識上用功，但也造成她的自大態(tài)度；排行第四的凱蒂個性浮華，與妹妹麗迪雅最熱忠跳舞，舉止常失禮而不自知；么女兒愛慕虛榮、注重享樂、跳舞和與軍官斗鬧取樂是她生活的唯一目的。

直到有一天，班納特家附近的搬來了一個單身男子彬格萊·查爾斯，他是一個個性溫和、做人真誠不拘小節(jié)的富家青年，偶然在一個宴會彬格萊卻戀上了班納特家的大女兒簡，并與簡·班納特相互愛慕；而彬格萊的好朋友達(dá)西·費(fèi)茨威廉個性拘謹(jǐn)嚴(yán)肅，不善言詞常給人自大傲慢的印象，在不知不覺中喜歡上班納特家的二女兒伊莉沙白，但是因?yàn)榘嗉{特一家本身并不是得體的家族令這兩段戀情受到障礙，伊莉沙白一開始就對傲慢的達(dá)西存有偏見，這部書主要就是描述他們這段關(guān)系的轉(zhuǎn)變過程。

讀后感：

人們就是以財富來衡量一個人的。在達(dá)西與伊莉沙白的年代是趨于保守的，也會有貴族與平民的上的障礙。傲慢和偏見，就屬于人類弱點(diǎn)中最常見的兩種。而人性又太容易被扭曲、被異化，一不小心，或一旦陷入盲目，失去公正和理智，被感情所操縱，就會出毛病，伊莉沙白和達(dá)西也只是一個代表而已。而出身、財產(chǎn)、地位、教養(yǎng)、一旦沾上上流的邊，就容易染上傲慢的毛病，對貧窮、低下、粗俗的人瞧不上眼；而地位低、財產(chǎn)少的人，出于人類的一種自尊心，則以偏見對抗驕傲的優(yōu)越者，這自然是另一種被扭曲的傲慢。

這部書以社會女性主義觀點(diǎn)切入，檢視奧斯汀的社會背景，探索社會環(huán)境如何影響女性在面臨婚姻時的抉擇，反映了女性內(nèi)心的焦慮與掙扎。就社會女性主義者而言，物質(zhì)環(huán)境為塑造女性婚姻意識的決定因素。事實(shí)上，婚姻，就小說人物而言，是一個階級交換與經(jīng)濟(jì)交流的市場。為了達(dá)成結(jié)婚的目的，女性人物擅于把自己轉(zhuǎn)化成商品，展示其外貌與才藝，吸引男性目光。這一時期女性受到社會價值的鼓勵，利用其女性特質(zhì)來贏得婚姻伴侶。然而，奧斯汀的女性人物在面臨婚姻伴侶的抉擇時往往呈現(xiàn)對婚姻無意識的不安。愛情是一條主線，然而婚姻與愛情還是有差別的，其中一點(diǎn)誠實(shí)，男女主人公就太缺少了。正因?yàn)槿绱瞬攀沟门鹘遣话病?/p>

人，總是喜歡先入為主，達(dá)西先生傲慢、無禮的樣子早已進(jìn)入伊麗莎白的頭腦，再加上騙子韋翰利用了自己巧妙的奉承能力以及一付“討人喜歡”的儀表，迷住了伊麗莎白，不停地為自己洗刷冤情，中傷達(dá)西。不可否認(rèn)，韋翰長著一張英俊的臉，表面上也裝得非?！凹澥俊?，使得伊麗莎白完全相信了韋翰的花言巧語，即使她是家中最居理智的女兒，畢竟年輕，對于一個人是好是壞，還只是看淺表的。最主要的可能是伊麗莎白太過于在乎她在別人眼中的形象，她非常不希望在別人眼里看來她是一個無知而虛榮，又沒有教養(yǎng)的女人，可她也只是一個處在那種時代的而不甘于做一個配件的女人而已，她希望的伴侶能在心靈上與之共鳴，對于這個人的品格的要求超過了財富的要求，這一點(diǎn)是值得贊賞的，畢竟是在有一個愛錢的母親的教育下長大的。不過對于這樣一個母親，她還是感到了自卑，才會在面對韋翰的謊言時，盲目的相信那個“高高在上”的達(dá)西是個卑鄙的人，從而使自己在他面前時的自卑心得到解脫。不過幸運(yùn)的是伊麗莎白沒有被這些真正的蒙住雙眼。

人的缺陷太多，首先是心靈上的陷阱。要想在一生中成就一番事業(yè)，無論是知識、教養(yǎng)、還是愛情、事業(yè)，都需要同自己心靈的種種淺浮的陷阱或陰影做斗爭，經(jīng)過各種誤解和長時間的反復(fù)的認(rèn)識過程，慢慢由心靈克服各自弱點(diǎn)和毛病，而走向開放、灑脫、自由的必然結(jié)果。然而沒有愛情不要勉強(qiáng)與他人結(jié)婚，只要人品正直，追求美德，不放松向喜之心，不茍且、貪圖一時之利欲，追求兩心之和諧、相應(yīng)，運(yùn)用彼此的智慧，克服心靈上的缺點(diǎn)，終得如愿以償。

人和人之間的相處總會有一些小小的摩擦，而這些摩擦，往往就是自己內(nèi)心中所潛藏的弱點(diǎn)或毛病，要和別人能夠更愉快的生活，就必須先了解到自己的缺點(diǎn)，并磨去他，其次是了解別人的內(nèi)心，最后再互相深入彼此，如此一來，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)到社會上每一件人、事、物都是如此美好而光明，更進(jìn)一步激發(fā)出你內(nèi)心深處的感動，發(fā)揮出自己的專長去替這個社會、這個國家、這個世界服務(wù)，畢竟我門是萬物之長，如果人們不再用心去關(guān)懷身邊的人，不再去付出自己的一臂之力，那么還有誰要去完成這個任務(wù)呢？所以從現(xiàn)在開始，我們就應(yīng)該將自己原先所存有的毛病給除去，換上一個全新的自我，為嶄新的未來打拚吧
