介绍:
2.Besides being the drummer and chief lyricist for the rock band “Rush”, Neil Peart is also an author and philosopher. Look at how beautifully he expresses the relationship between life and a dream: “Life is just a candle and a dream must give it flame.” Richard M. DeVos, the founder of Amway Corp., also writes about the flame of hope: “No life is more tragic than that of the individual who nurses a dream, an ambition, always wishing and hoping, but never giving it a chance to happen. He nurses the flickering dream, but never lets it break out into flame.”
尼尔•皮尔特既是Rush摇滚乐队的鼓手和主要词作者，也是一位作家和哲人。请看他是何等优美地表述了生活和梦想之间的关系：“生命就像一支蜡烛，而由梦想将其点燃。”安利公司的创始人理查德•M•德沃斯也谈及希望之火：“一个人心怀梦想和大志，时时刻刻地在渴望和希望，却没有尝试将这一切付诸现实，还有比这种人的生命更富悲剧性的吗？他的梦想只能发出摇曳的微弱光亮，却永远不能迸发出火焰。”
