声音乐礼+恢复读书

是故不知声者不可与言音，不知音者不可与言乐，知乐则几于礼矣。（《礼记·乐记》）

Talking about melody with someone who has no ear for natural sounds would be a waste of time, and so would discussing music with someone who knows nothing about melody. One who knows music is close to understanding social norms. (The Book of Rites)

知音其难哉！音实难知，知实难逢，逢其知音，千载其一乎！（刘勰《文心雕龙·知音》）

It is such a challenge to understand music! Since music is so hard to understand, it is difficult to find people who can appreciate it. It may take a thousand years to find someone who understands music! (Liu Xie: The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons)

发现学习强国也有可爱之处啊，边刷分边发现好东西。古代先贤的箴言流传千年抵达今世与我们链接，真是奇妙。

要恢复读书，最近一本是理查德·尼克松的《领袖们》。这本书在书架中放了好久了，前几日才想起来翻看，一日大约10页，进度似乎比较慢，但是不求速度是图阅读的享受，慢慢读。在理查德看来，作为领袖人物要满足三个条件：伟大人物+伟大国家+伟大事件，缺一不可。

大约会有许多人对政治人物不报好感，我年轻时候也是如此，但是随着年岁渐长，越来越理解到伟大政治人物的不易。政治有政治的规律，就好像经济有经济的规律一样，外行只能看个热闹。这里存大义与小利、有我与无我、局部与整体、眼前与长远之分别，也有时代、际遇、环境之因素。是非对错、功过得失，只有时间来检验。
