心靈雞湯

前言

　　Since the first Chicken Soup for the Soul book was released，readers cont-inue to tell us that their favorite chapter is Overcoming Obstacles.　　Its no wonder.We all face obstacles——some are tiny hurdles that may tripus up for a time before we land on our feet；others loom like ominous clouds，sending even the bravest souls in search of shelter.How we handle these situa-tions determines the course of our life；whether we will live with fear and angeror acceptance and joy.　　We compiled Chicken Soup for the Unsinkable Soul to help readers over-come the obstacles in their daily lives，whether theyre dealing with an emotion-al loss，battling an illness，experiencing the ups and downs of pursuing a lifelongdream，or trying to make themselves a better person.　　From the humorous to the heroic，from the extraordinary to the everyday，each story emphasizes victory in spite of the odds.For instance，youll share inthe triumph of a determined climber who scaled one of the worlds most chal-lenging mountains despite being blind；a middle-aged woman who took achance on a new career and became an award-winning columnist；a little girlwith a stuttering problem who found her voice at a school pageant；　 and ayoung mother who was suddenly paralyzed but chose to embrace the positiveover pity.

章節(jié)摘錄

　　I dont think this is too much to expect. My friends congregation was decima-ted by a pernicious virus. Im not asking for that. I dont want to be so busy that Idmiss watching The Andy Griffith Show every lunch hour. But if a few persons couldsee their way clear to contracting a mild disease，that would be considerate. Itwouldnt have to be anything exotic. Once a lady in my meeting was afflicted withBells palsy. It caused her mouth to droop， and she lost all the feeling on one sideof her face. Then，after I spent two glorious days by her bedside，her conditiongrew better and she was completely healed. It was a wonderful illness！Shereceived much-needed bed rest， and I knew the exquisite joy of helpful ministry.　　I know Im not alone in my desire to feel useful. If a woman spends twelveyears learning to be a surgeon， I bet shes anxious to perform her first operation. Ifa man goes away to technical school and studies car repair， he probably cant waitto crawl underneath a chassis. Doesnt a free country owe its citizens the right toply their chosen trades？Isnt that what America is all about？　　Back when I was growing up，our town had a volunteer fire department. Theyscreeched the fire alarm once a week， and all the firefighters practiced rushing tothe station. After a while，they grew discouraged， because real fires were few andfar between. One of our more thoughtful citizens，on a beautiful autumn weekendafternoon， set his field ablaze，thereby earning the gratitude of many of our towns-people. Our policemen got to block the nearby roads. Our firefighters got to fighta real fire. Our newspaper reporter got to write a story. Our insurance agent gotto process a claim for damaged crops. And the minister at the Baptist church gotto visit the considerate citizen that very evening and profess thanksgiving that noone was hurt. By days end， everyone felt the pleasant exhaustion of usefulnessand went to bed happy. It was one of our towns finer days.

　　它不僅僅是心靈的雞湯，在我看來(lái)，對(duì)于青年人來(lái)說(shuō)，它甚至不亞于一場(chǎng)色香味俱全的人生盛宴：并非是饕餮的口腹之樂(lè)，而是滋補(bǔ)你精神饑渴的佳肴與美釀。讓你暢飲人生！暢飲知識(shí)！暢飲愛(ài)心與大愛(ài)之情！ 如今為了一次演講，我在江南的霏霏梅雨中吟讀它，驀然回想起昔日在紐約洛克菲勒廣場(chǎng)旋旗揚(yáng)升的早晨，那一抹金暉中，我走出曼哈頓一家書(shū)店時(shí)，無(wú)意中向櫥窗一瞥：曾經(jīng)看到過(guò)它多彩的封面。同行的美國(guó)教授對(duì)我說(shuō)：“您可能不會(huì)看那本小書(shū)，不過(guò)它的確不錯(cuò)。” 我后悔當(dāng)初沒(méi)有返回那家書(shū)店找到這本書(shū)，希望大家不要犯我當(dāng)年的錯(cuò)誤?！　　本┐髮W(xué)東方文學(xué)研究中心特聘教授 方江文　　現(xiàn)代人的生活節(jié)奏快，壓力大，普通百姓又沒(méi)有時(shí)間去看大部頭的書(shū)籍，《心靈雞湯》可以給你一份溫情，讓你在酷暑感到?jīng)鏊?，在寒冬享受溫暖，在春天播下?ài)的種子，在秋天收獲勤奮的果實(shí)。我愛(ài)《心靈雞湯》，像愛(ài)廚房里新端出的一盤青菜，餐桌上新燒出的一盆老豆腐。愿把《心靈雞湯》奉獻(xiàn)給你的家庭，換來(lái)孩子的健康成長(zhǎng)，老人的歡聲笑語(yǔ)。　　——南開(kāi)大學(xué)教授 王宏印　　《心靈雞湯》弘揚(yáng)“真善美”，以“醒心”為己任。書(shū)中敘述的一段段人生經(jīng)歷能感動(dòng)你，催你潸然淚下，因?yàn)槟切┦戮桶l(fā)生在你身邊，與你息息相關(guān)……失戀的人讀之能重振對(duì)生活的信心，遭受病痛之苦的人讀之似服靈丹妙藥，孤獨(dú)的人讀之如沐“關(guān)懷”的春雨，喪失親人者讀之會(huì)感受到來(lái)白四面八方的慰藉……它是一扇窗戶，讓你了解世界：它是一座橋梁，連接你我他……　　——蘇州大學(xué)外國(guó)語(yǔ)學(xué)院教授　方華文　　《心靈雞湯》之所以能撥動(dòng)人的心弦，是因?yàn)闀?shū)中的話語(yǔ)全來(lái)自靈魂深處，是“肺腑之言”！人與人之間的隔閡與冷漠必須靠這種“真情”打破和消除——如此，人世間便會(huì)溫情涌動(dòng)、冰山消融……讀了書(shū)中動(dòng)人的故事，凡是有良知的人，其內(nèi)心不可能不受到觸動(dòng)——《心靈雞湯》之功大矣！　　——商務(wù)印書(shū)館《英語(yǔ)世界》主編　魏令查
