《食粥》

陸游【宋】

世人個個學長年，不信長年在目前。

我得宛丘平易法，只將食粥致神仙。

公寓對面的孟記粥鋪的墻上就有這首詩，O(∩_∩)O~

陸游的《食粥》是秉承北宋詩人張耒的食粥說的。全詩以明白如話的語言肯定食粥是一種長壽之道，這頗有見地。
現代科學研究表明，大米含有淀粉、脂肪、蛋白質及多種礦物質，營養豐富。只是由于時代的限制，陸游還不可能通曉粥所具有的這些營養價值，但其食粥可以延年的經驗之談與科學道理暗合，這頗值得稱道。

What is truly a waste of your personal time?

1. Watching TV. I stopped watching television in 2007. I was a couch potato and would watch it for up to 8 hours per day.

2. Being in a relationship with someone so that you're not bored or lonely. Self-explanatory.

3. Trying to solve everyone's problems.

4. Trying to win every conversation that you have with people.

5. Doing something just because it allegedly makes your mother, father, grandparents, aunt, uncle, cousin or siblings happy. But you hate it and it makes you feel miserable.

6. Being the person people can call and keep on the phone for hours talking about absolutely nothing.

7. Trying to change something about yourself that cannot be changed.

8. Constantly complaining about something that you could have already changed.

9. Creating fake problems so that you don't have to deal with your real problems.

10. Trying to make someone love you when they are not interested in you.

村上春樹在《當我談跑步時，我在談些什么》中說：

我固然不是了不起的跑步者，而是處于極為平凡的——毋寧說是凡庸的——水準。然而這個問題根本不重要。我超越了昨天的自己，哪怕只是那么一丁點兒，才更為重要。在長跑中，如果說有什么必須戰勝的對手，那就是過去的自己。
