前些日子，我的一個熟人，一位熱愛交際並很受歡迎的`男士告訴我，他在紐約的兩個約會之間偶然有一兩個小時的空閒，他便去了惠特尼博物館，四處瀏覽着展品，無比幸福的度過了那些時光。發現自已獨自一人，也能如此的幸福，他感覺像墜入愛河那般震驚。
參考譯文：
The other day an acquaintance of mine, a gregarious and charming man, told me he had found himself unexpectedly alone in New York for an hour or two between appointments. He went to the Whitney and spent the "empty" time looking at things in solitary bliss. For him it proved to be a shock nearly as great as falling in love to discover that he could enjoy himself so much alone.
part 2成爲聖者的祕訣
從前，在一個國家裏，有一位做了無數善事的善心者。國王非常欣賞他的善舉，便封他爲聖者。
有一天，聖者過八十大壽，國王前來慶賀，特別帶來一位畫家，想通過畫家的筆，將這位聖者慈祥的容貌畫下來，作爲世人的典範。
用完晚餐之後，衆多的嘉賓前來觀賞這幅慈愛的畫。肖像畫家將這幅畫像拿出來的時候，所有人大吃一驚。因爲畫裏的人根本沒有慈善的面貌，反而充滿暴戾，粗野，邪惡的氣息。國王一看，生氣地要人把畫家拖出去鞭打。
這時，聖者聽到驚呼聲，跑了過來，他看到這幅畫後，跪倒在地：“國王，這畫裏的人，纔是真實的我啊。”國王驚詫地問：“爲什麼?”聖者道：“這就是我一生掙扎着，不想去做的那個人啊。”
在這世上，沒有天生的聖者，惟有能時時刻刻自我反省，自我檢視的人，才能成爲聖者。
參考譯文：
The secret of being a saint
Once upon a time there lived in a country a do-gooder. The king was very appreciative of his deeds and decided to honour him as a saint by a decree. On the saint's eightieth birthday, the king was invited to his birthday celerbration. He brought with him a painter so as to do a picture of the kindly saint as a paragon for his countrymen.
When the feast is over all the guests were asked to have a look at the picture. To their great surprise, when the picture was shown, what they saw was not a kind but a ruthless and cruel look. The king was very angry at seeing this and ordered his men to beat the painter.
Upon hearing the noise, the saint rushed to the scene to have a look at the picture. After viewing it, the saint knelt down and said, "your majesty, the person in the picture is none other than me." Why?" said the king, dumbfounded. "This has been the very person whom I have never wanted to be."
In this world, there are no naturally born saints; only those who can do self-criticism and sel-examination, can become saints.
