  假如人们过一种似是而非的生活,更关注人生的意义,而非赞誉和掌声,这个世界将会更加理智。 --肯特.基思

  好些人以为这首诗是德兰修女写的,其实是Kent M. Keith 在 1968年写的。几十年来这首诗在世界各地流传。人们把它挂在墙上,贴在冰箱上。许多的文章,讲词都引用它,网上也在流传。它对每个人都适用:商人,军人,政客,政府官员,教会领袖,大学校长,社会工作者,教员,乐坛红星,为人父母者,教练和学生。德兰修女认为这首诗很有意思,把它放在印度加尔各大儿童院的墙上。
  似是而非的戒律
  肯特.基思
  戒律一:人们往往会毫无逻辑,不可理喻,唯我独尊。
  但是不管怎样,还是要去爱他们。
  戒律二:如果你积极行善,有人会指责你别有用心、谋取私利。
  但是不管怎样,还是要积极行善。
  戒律三:如果你已功成名就,难免会招来虚假的朋友和真正的敌人。
  但是不管怎样,还是要力争成功。
  戒律四:你今朝的善行,众人会在明晨淡忘。
  但是不管怎样,还是要多多行善。
  戒律五:坦诚待人,会使你易受伤害。
  但是不管怎样,还是要坦诚待人。
  戒律六:思想最伟大的人物,可能会被心胸狭隘的小人击倒。
  但是不管怎样,还是要胸怀大志。
  戒律七:虽然人们有时怜悯弱者,但却总是追随赢家。
  但是不管怎样,还是要扶助某些弱者。
  戒律八:你花费多年创造的一切,可能会毁于一旦。
  但是不管怎样,还是要努力创造。
  戒律九:人们需要帮助,可当你向他们伸出援助之手时,可能会反被其伤。
  但是不管怎样,还是要帮助他们。
  戒律十:献出你全部的人生精华造福人类,可能会使你身受打击。
  但是不管怎样,还是要向人类献出你全部精华。
