我相信自由的社会是美好的。

我还相信,只要我们愿意奋斗,愿意与一切缺陷作斗争,社会将会一直美好。

我与阻止黑人参加棒球比赛这个障碍作斗争,因为这就是社会中存在的一个缺陷,是我力所能及的事情,是一场并非注定要失败的战斗。

总而言之,我相信我对上帝的信仰使他一直支持我,自己所做的一切是上天赋子我的使命。我相信,上天也一定会把这个使命赋予其他人。

人无完人。社会中也存在着或多或少的不完美,如残疾、障碍或偏见。而不管遇到什么困难,只要我们勇敢面对,始终坚持,就一定会看到希望。让我们一起放飞自由的思想和心灵,迎接美好的明天。

Free Minds and Hearts at Work

Jackie Robinson

At the beginning of the World Series of 1947; I experienced a pletely new emotion; when the National Anthem was played。 This time; I thought; it is being played for me; as much as for anyone else。 This is organized major league baseball; and I am standing here with all the others; and everything that takes place includes me。

About a year later; I went to Atlanta; Georgia; to play in an exhibition game。 On the field; for the first time in Atlanta; there were Negroes and whites。 Other Negroes; besides me。 And I thought: What I have always believed has e to be。txt电子书分享平台

自由思想与心灵的作用(2)

And what is it that I have always believed? First; that imperfections are human。 But that wherever human beings were given room to breathe and time to think; those imperfections would disappear; no matter how slowly。 I do not believe that we have found or even approached perfection。 That is not necessarily in the scheme of human events。 Handicaps; stumbling blocks; prejudices—all of these are imperfect。 Yet; they have to be reckoned with because they are in the scheme of human events。

Whatever obstacles I found made me fight all the harder。 But it would have been impossible for me to fight at all; except that I was sustained by the personal and deeprooted belief that my fight had a chance。 It had a chance because it took place in a free society。 Not once was I forced to face and fight an immovable object。 Not once was the situation so cast…iron rigid that I had no chance at all。 Free minds and human hearts were at work all around me; and so there was the probability of improvement。 I look at my children now; and know that I must still prepare them to meet obstacles and prejudices。

But I can tell them; too; that they will never face some of these prejudices because other people have gone before them。 And to myself I can say that; because progress is unalterable; many of today’s dogmas will have vanished by the time they grow into adults。 I can say to my children:  There is a chance for you。 No guarantee; but a chance。 And this chance has e to be; because there is nothing static with free people。 There is no Middle Ages logic so strong that it can stop the human tide from flowing forward。 I do not believe that every person; in every walk of life; can succeed in spite of any handicap。 That would be perfection。 But I do believe—and with every fiber in me—that what I was able to attain came to be because we put behind us (no matter how slowly) the dogmas of the past: to discover the truth of today; and perhaps find the greatness of tomorrow。

I believe in the human race。

I believe in the warm heart。

I believe in man’s integrity。

I believe in the goodness of a free society。

And I believe that the society can remain good only as long as we are willing to fight for it—and to fight against whatever imperfections may exist。

My fight was against the barriers that kept Negroes out of baseball。 This was the area where I found imperfection; and where I was best able to fight。 And I fought because I knew it was not doomed to be a losing fight。

And; in the largest sense; I believe that what I did was done for me—that it was my faith in God that sustained me in my fight。 And that what was done for me must and will be done for others。

交友的唯一方式(1)

赫伯特·H。 菜曼

有许多事情会影响一个人的人生哲学和生活,我发现很难用语言来表达我的信念。我犹豫不决,害怕公然谈及我的信念,会给人留下说教的印象。

不过,有两条信念,我认为无论是私人生活还是在公共生活中,都对我产生了极为深刻的影响。

其一,它可能听起来很普通,我相信在生活中,我们付出多少,就会收获多少。其二,我必须尊重他人的意见,即使我并不认同。

在漫长而忙碌的工作生涯中,我一直坚信:付出多少,就会收获多少。如果这种人生哲学是正确的,我也相信如此,我希望它能适用于我的所有活动——我的家庭,我的日常工作,我的政治活动,特别是我与他人的关系。

生活不是一条单行街。我的所做、所说,甚至是所想,都不可避免地直接影响着我和他人的关系。在一定程度上,我确信我对他人的态度表明了我的忠减、真挚、诚实、谦恭以及正直。我也鼓励他人以同样的态度对待我。尊重他人,会被人尊重;怀疑他人,则会被人怀疑。常言道:“交友的唯一方式就是做对方的朋友。”

在我们美国公民自由的伟大传统中,没有任何一项是自动生效的。要使手足情谊、仁慈、同情、人类的行为准则、机会自由以及生命的宝贵等生效——要使这些成为现实,需要尊重和坚持不懈。这就是我的美国信仰的核心。

正如我提到过的,我认为我必须帮助所有人保护他们的言论自由,尽管我不同意他们的意见。我必须倾听并研究可信赖的观点;?
