By Melissa DeMeo
《读者文摘》的文字编辑Melissa DeMeo 在此分享她从父亲那里学到的重要人生课程。
作者：Melissa DeMeo
1. Never waste water.
2. Listen to good music, especially jazz.
3. Ella Fitzgerald was a great artist and a nice lady. Duke Ellington was a great artist and an elegant, articulate man. Miles Davis was a great artist but kind of a cuckoo clock. Stan Getz played a sweet sax, Illinois Jacquet played a driving sax, Coleman Hawkins played a rich, warm sax, Flip Phillips played an energetic sax, Lester Young played a delicate sax, and Charlie Parker played the saxophone like God.

4. Admire people who are not only good at what they do, but who love doing it.
5. Respect your roots.
6. Never waste food.
7. Mechanical things are as much art as science. They express beauty as well as order. Therefore, regularly check the fluid levels in your car.
8. Your body is a beautiful machine. Eat right and exercise.
9. Never waste money.
10. Be kind to children and animals.
11. Be a good friend.
12. Never waste anything.
13. When you’re watching a nature show on television, don’t feel too bad when the lion kills the gazelle because the lion has to eat, too.

16. There’s always something.
17. Everything’s fate.
18. Don’t scuff your shoes.

20. Act a little cocky.
21. There’s only one way to do things: the right way. Corollary: If you need a stone wall, hire an Italian mason.
22. When you’re screwing something in, make sure it’s on good and tight, but don’t overdo it, or you’ll strip the screw.
23. Don’t take the little sticker off the peach until you’re ready to eat it because the sticker will rip the skin and make it go bad faster.
24. Listen to people. Listen to their stories. Listen deeply. That’s how you learn things.
25. Love your family. They’re for always.
1.永远不要浪费水。
2.听好音乐，尤其是爵士乐。
3. Ella Fitzgerald 是一位了不起的艺术家和一位善良的女士。Duke Ellington 是一位了不起的艺术家和一位优雅擅说的男士。Miles Davis 是一位了不起的艺术家但象个布谷鸟钟一样不停地重复。Stan Getz 吹的萨克斯音调甜美，Illinois Jacquet 吹的萨克斯节奏激烈，Coleman Hawkins 吹的萨克斯丰满温和，Flip Phillips 吹的萨克斯声音激昂，Lester Young 吹的萨克斯温文而雅，Charlie Parker 吹起萨克斯就象天神。
4. 赞美那些不止能把自己的工作做好，并且热爱所做的工作的人。
5. 尊重你的祖辈。
6. 永远不要浪费食物。
7. 机械用具是如同科学一样的艺术。它们表述了美丽和秩序。因此，要定期检查你的汽车液位。
8.你的身体是一台漂亮的机器。要健康饮食并锻炼身体。
9. 永远不要浪费钱。
10.对孩子和动物要友善。
11. 做一位益友。
12. 永远不要浪费任何东西。

15. 学会怎么换轮胎。
16. 总会有一些事情发生，既来之则安之。
17. 万事皆有命。
18.走路不要趿拉鞋。
19. 预先设想哪里可能会出差错——有些事总会出岔子——努力防止其发生。如果最终还是发生了，要从中吸取教训。
20.行事带点自信。
21. 做事情只有一个方法：正确的方法。推论：如果你需要一堵石墙，雇一个意大利石匠。
22. 当你拧螺丝时，要确保对准丝并且拧紧了，但是不要拧过头，否则会把螺纹磨掉。
23. 除非你打算吃，否则别把桃子上的果蒂摘走，因为果蒂会把桃皮撕破，那样桃子坏得就快了。
24. 多听别人说话，多听听他们的故事，用心去听。那是你学习的机会和途径。
25. 爱你的家人。他们的爱永远不变。 |
