Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up， my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together， my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always stressed to me， "You should have objectives and capacity like the mountain."
This has largely influenced my life. Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed， we couldn't have had enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I believe mountaineering is really beneficial. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep contemplation as well as develop my patience. I loved scaling mountains， to get away from the noise and pollution of the city， and breathe the fresh air.
One time we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing， I enjoyed the fresh air， the birds' singing， and the beautiful dances of butterflies； but as time passed， I got a pain in both of my legs. At that moment， I wanted to quit climbing. Actually， I hated it at that moment， but my father said to me， "Spring is a season when everything comes to life again. The mountain and fields where we are standing are embroidered with flowers and trees. You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain， but you can't see it before you reach the top. You can always enjoy the scenes of many waterfalls and countless peaks and valleys at the top of the mountain， but you can't when you are halfway up. Only there at the top， can you embrace all of those things， just like in life."
At that time， I was too young to understand his thoughts， but after that， I got new hope and confidence. Finally， I found myself standing at the top of the mountain. And there， I could see the whole of the sky， which was as clear as crystal.
“你總能在峰頂處看到美麗的天空，但在抵達峰頂前你是看不到的。”
每當太陽快下山時，我和父親總會去爬我家附近的那座山。我們經常在爬山時聊起許多話題。父親的經驗之談，讓我受益匪淺。他總是鼓勵我：“你要有山一般堅定的目標和寬闊的胸懷。”
這些話對我的人生產生了深刻的影響。父親總是很忙，要不是我們都喜歡爬山，我們不可能有很多時間待在一起。我堅信爬山的確很有好處——它讓我有了與父親暢談和獨自沉思的時間，同時也培養了我的耐性。我愛爬山，它可以使我遠離城市的嘈雜和汙染，呼吸新鮮的空氣。
一次，我們爬一座很高的山。對我來說，那簡直是一個巨大的挑戰，因為那時我隻有10歲。開始的幾個小時，我還享受著清新的空氣，聆聽著鳥兒的歡叫，欣賞著蝴蝶的翩翩起舞。慢慢地，我的雙腿酸疼起來。在那個時刻，我非常討厭爬山，甚至想放棄。這時父親對我說：“春天是萬物複蘇的季節。此刻，山巒和田野被鮮花和樹木裝扮。你總能在峰頂處看到美麗的天空，但在抵達峰頂前你是看不到的。在山頂，你總能欣賞到眾多瀑布、山峰和峽穀的美景，但這一切在半山腰卻看不到。隻有在山頂，你才有幸飽覽這一切，如同生活中一樣。”
那時，我還小，無法理解他的話，但這些話使我充滿了希望和信心。我終於爬到了頂峰。放眼望去，我看見整個天空如水晶般澄澈。
給生命一個高度，便可以看到別樣的風景。在現實中，大部分人僅僅滿足於平坦、容易到達之處的風景，並錯誤地認為這就是美的極致，而事實上，最瑰麗的奇景永遠身在幽深險怪之處，隻有少數勇者可以到達。

鍛煉身體的真正意義
Exercise

A state of physical and mental health allows you to take part in exercise comfortably and enjoyably so that it doesn't hurt， so that you can look forward to it， and feel good afterwards.
If you are feeling down， exercise may help pick you up. Although researchers disagree on this issue， one review of past studies found that long-term exercise， especially when it includes long-lasting， strenuous training sessions ， has about as much of an effect on depression as psychotherapy.
Working out helps you deal with stress in your job， relationships or any area of life？ Possibly because exercise is a form of stress itself and helps condition your body to deal with it. When Australian researchers compared people who did 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week to those who practiced progressive relaxation techniques， they found that the former group responded better to acute stress and had lower blood pressure.
Even a little exercise can make you think less anxiously. Studies have shown that any amount of exercise， from a brisk 10 minute walk to an intense aerobics or weightlifting session seems to decrease feelings of anxiety.
Working out regularly may make you smarter now and lessen the possibility that you'll lose brain function as you age. According to a recent animal study at the University of Illinois， exercise can actually help the brain develop new cells.
In several studies， regular weight training or aerobic exercise was shown to improve the quality and duration of sleep. Naturally， this can make you less fatigued and be able to function better during the day.
Like meditation， hobbies or any other leisure activity， exercise gives your mind a needed break from everyday thoughts， responsibilities and commitments.
Finally， there's one more reason to keep exercising. When you work out regularly， your body simply functions better—you are better， healthier and less likely to suffer painful physical conditions. And that just plain feels good.
身心健康能夠讓人們輕鬆愉快地參加體育鍛煉，而不會感到身體不適。人們因此樂於鍛煉，鍛煉之後覺得心情舒暢，感覺良好。
當你感到沮喪時，鍛煉能使你重新振作。對此，盡管科研人員意見不一，但一份回顧性的研究表明：長期的體育鍛煉，尤其是長時間、高強度的訓練，治療抑鬱症的效果幾乎與心理治療法無異。
鍛煉能緩解工作、人際關係，甚至生活當中方方麵麵的壓力，其原因也許在於鍛煉本身就很緊張，它可以使身體靈活地應付壓力。澳大利亞研究人員對參與研究的兩組人的身體狀況進行了比較，其中一組人做有氧健身操，每次30分鍾，每周3次；另一組進行漸進式放鬆鍛煉。他們發現：前一組人能更好地應對突如其來的壓力，血壓也會低一些。
即使少量鍛煉也能減輕人的焦慮感。研究表明：鍛煉，無論其量大小，從10分鍾的健步行走到劇烈的有氧運動或舉重，似乎都能減少焦慮感。
有規律地鍛煉能讓你變得更聰穎，還可以降低隨年齡增長大腦功能退化的可能性。伊利諾伊大學最近的一項動物實驗表明：鍛煉其實有助於大腦新細胞的產生。
