“Packaging”A Person(B)

Guidance for Reciting

Though the saying goes like“Youth is a blunder;manhood a struggle;old age a regret”,Years bring wisdom.

Let your looks change from young to old synchronizing with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature,for harmony itself is beauty,while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the elder's company is like reading a thick book of deluxe edition that fascinates one so much as to be reluctant to part with.

As long as one finds where one stands,one knows how to package oneself,just as a commodity establishes its brand by the right packaging.

人的包装(2)

诵读导言

虽说“青年冒失莽撞;成年发奋图强;老年遗憾懊丧”,但是,年长智也增。

人该年轻时就年轻,该年老时就年老,这是与自然同步,这就是和谐。和谐就是美,反之就是丑。和老年人在一起就像读一本厚厚的精装书,魅力无穷,令人爱不释手。

人只要真正找到了自己,就找到了恰当的包装,就好比是商品用合适的包装竖立品牌。
