《食粥》

陆游【宋】

世人个个学长年，不信长年在目前。

我得宛丘平易法，只将食粥致神仙。

公寓对面的孟记粥铺的墙上就有这首诗，O(∩_∩)O~

陆游的《食粥》是秉承北宋诗人张耒的食粥说的。全诗以明白如话的语言肯定食粥是一种长寿之道，这颇有见地。
现代科学研究表明，大米含有淀粉、脂肪、蛋白质及多种矿物质，营养丰富。只是由于时代的限制，陆游还不可能通晓粥所具有的这些营养价值，但其食粥可以延年的经验之谈与科学道理暗合，这颇值得称道。

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.

村上春树在《当我谈跑步时，我在谈些什么》中说：

我固然不是了不起的跑步者，而是处于极为平凡的——毋宁说是凡庸的——水准。然而这个问题根本不重要。我超越了昨天的自己，哪怕只是那么一丁点儿，才更为重要。在长跑中，如果说有什么必须战胜的对手，那就是过去的自己。
