From 圣经 旧约 传道书-Ecclesiastes
日光之下并无新事。
1:1 在耶路撒冷作王,大卫的儿子,传道者的言语。
The words of the Preacher, the son of David, the king in Jerusalem.
1:9 已有的事,后必再有;已作的事,后必再作。日光之下并无新事。
What has been is what will be, And what has been done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.
3:11 神造万物,各按其时成为美好,又将永远安置在世人心里。虽是这样,人并不能参透神从始至终的作为。
He has made everything beautiful in its own time; also He has put eternity in their heart, yet so that man does not find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
3:12 我知道人莫强如一生喜乐行善;
I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and do good in their lifetime;
3:13 并且人人吃喝,在他一切劳碌中享美福,这乃是神的恩赐。
Moreover, that every man should eat and drink and taste enjoyment in all his labor; it is the gift of God.
7:14 遇亨通的日子,你当喜乐;遭患难的日子,你当思想;神造了这样,也造了那样,为叫人查不出身后有什么事。
In the day of prosperity be joyful, And in the day of adversity consider. God has made the one as well as the other, So that man may not find out anything about what is after him.
9:10 凡你手所当作的事要尽力去作;因为在你所要去的阴间,没有工作,没有谋算,没有知识,也没有智慧。
Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might; for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, where you are going.
9:11 我又见日光之下快跑的未必能赢,力战的未必得胜,并且智慧的未必得粮食,聪明的未必得赀财,有知识的也未必得喜悦;所临到众人的,是在于时候和机会。
Again I saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor is the battle to the mighty, nor is even the bread to the wise, nor are riches to those who have understanding, nor is favor to those who have knowledge; but time and chance happen to them all.
顺境多做事,逆境多读书。
明朝还初道人洪应明收集编著的儒家经典 《菜根谭》里面有句话,董宇辉重复了很多次:顺境多做事,逆境多读书。
Ankie的笔记
1,日光之下无一事新鲜,发生的事情还会重复的发生。
2,无论好的还是坏的事情,临到我们的,只是时候和机会。不要过于膨胀,也不要灰心。
3,顺境的时候好好做事,享受生活。逆境的时候,多思考,多读书,等待机会。
