(Sưu tầm) Ba việc

Trên đời này có ba việc:

  • Việc của bản thân
  • Việc của người khác
  • Việc của ông trời

Chúng ta thường buồn phiền là do:

  • Quên mất việc của bản thân
  • Thích xen vào việc của người khác
  • Lo lắng về việc của ông trời

Muốn vui vẻ, hãy:

  • Làm tốt việc của bản thân
  • Đừng xen vào việc của người khác
  • Đừng nghĩ về việc của ông trời

If (Rudyard Kipling)

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son.

Mùa hè rớt (Thơ Olga Berggolx, Bằng Việt dịch)

Có một mùa trong sáng diệu kỳ
Cái nắng êm ru, màu trời không chói
Mùa hè rớt – cho những người yếu đuối
Cứ ngỡ ngàng như nắng mới vào xuân

Trên má mơ hồ tơ nhện bay giăng
Khe khẽ như không, dịu dàng, phơ phất
Lanh lảnh bầy chim bay đi muộn nhất
Hoa cuối mùa sặc sỡ đến lo âu

Những trận mưa rào đã tắt từ lâu
Tất cả thấm trong cánh đồng lặng sẫm
Hạnh phúc – ít hơn, khóc nhìn say đắm
Ghen tuông – dù chua chát cũng thưa hơn

Ôi cái mùa đại lượng rất thân thương
Ta cảm nhận vì người sâu sắc quá!
Nhưng ta nhớ, trời ơi, ta cứ nhớ
Tình yêu đâu?… Rừng lặng bóng sao mờ

Sao ơi sao, sao sắp rụng vào đêm
Ta biết lắm, thời gian đang vĩnh biệt
Nhưng chỉ mãi bây giờ ta mới biết
Yêu đương, giận hờn, tha thứ, chia tay

(Thơ Olga Berggolx, Bằng Việt dịch)

4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.

33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn’t do.
35. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.

38. Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

Sử thi Mahabharata

Hôm nay được nghe lời quảng cáo của bạn Surya về ‘trai đẹp’ trong bộ phim truyền hình Mahabharata. Đặt cục gạch ở đây, sẽ thử tìm hiểu về bộ sử thi này.

Bài tóm tắt rất tếu, và rất hay của Nguyễn Hoài Vân : phần 1 | phần 2 | phần 3

Tác phẩm này được coi là “Đại Bách khoa toàn thư” về văn hóa truyền thống, về các truyền thuyết và về các thể chế chính trị – xã hội của Ấn Độ cổ xưa. Nó là tấm gương phản chiếu toàn bộ đời sống con người Ấn Độ truyền thống như lời một câu ngạn ngữ cổ: “Cái gì không thấy được ở trong Mahabharata thì cũng không thể nào thấy được ở Ấn Độ.”
