“ content with one's lot knows to be not worth, promising has do not be ” , come from the model of a home of old person glacial a heart. “ promising ” goes after life meaning namely, it is to wait to develop the opportunity of action, and serve as somewhat; “ has the issue that does not close just morality to notting agree with namely for ” to be not done stoutly.
“知足知不足，有为有不为”，来自冰心老人的一句家训。“有为”即追求生命意义，是为了等待发挥作用的机会，而有所作为；“有不为”即对不符合正义道德的事坚决不做。
The travel of the highway also, gentleman dare be a person first. Liu Hezhen is the youth of a promising. She sees the current situation of compatriots, pedestrian and petitionary, arouse mediocre person for cost with sacrificial life. After the event, lu Xun is in " commemorative Liu He Zhenjun " in write: The brave warrior with true “ , dare the life with straight bleak face, dare to face up to the blood of dripping wet. What kind of grief is this person with happiness person?

In the distress of this reddish blood and small desert, get drag out an ignoble existence to person of short duration again, maintaining this to seem the person's impersonal world. ” Liu and precious gentleman dare be a person first, be commemorated by us up to now.
大道之行也，君子敢为人先。刘和珍就是一个有为的青年。她看见国人的现状，徒步请愿，以牺牲生命为代价唤醒庸人。事后，鲁迅在《纪念刘和珍君》中写道：“真的猛士，敢于直面惨淡的人生，敢于正视淋漓的鲜血。这是怎样的哀痛者和幸福者？然而造化又常常为庸人设计，以时间的流驶，来洗涤旧迹，仅使留下淡红的血色和微漠的悲哀。在这淡红的血和微漠的悲哀中，又给人暂得偷生，维持着这似人非人的世界。”刘和珍君敢为人先，至今被我们纪念。
In the meantime, the travel of the highway also, gentleman also has do not be. Jin Taoyuan bright “ is not ” of 5 bottles of rice bow to be praised by common people. Bright all along cannot bear the sight of Tao Yuan those battle according to the official situation, act as a tyrant superintend and director is mailed, listen to beadle to say to be worn even remove an official to take pay a formal visit all right ceremony, more be overcome this kind of abasement. He sighed to say: “ I can not wish to be these 5 bottles of Mi Guanfeng, whereaboutldirection as person of low position that number beg humbly. ” is saying, his full marks / also do not see superintend and director is mailed, the Yin Shou unship that gets on the body simply will give beadle, abdication did not work. Tao Yuan bright can't bear political corruption dirty, resolutely abandon Guan Guiyin. Reason gentleman also is somewhat.
同时，大道之行也，君子也有不为。晋陶渊明“不为五斗米折腰”被世人称赞。陶渊明向来看不惯那些依官仗势，作威作福的督邮，一听小吏说还要穿起官服行拜见礼，更受不了这种屈辱。他叹了口气说：“我可不愿为这五斗米官俸，去向那号小人打躬作揖。”说着，他满分/也不去见督邮，索性把身上的印绶解下来交给小吏，辞职不干了。陶渊明不堪政治上的腐败肮脏，毅然弃官归隐。故君子也有所不为。
Say Lin Yutang is again very the person that has integrity to have moral integrity very much. His breadth of mind is magnanimous, dare speak, never insinuate influential officials, from beginning to end not be an official, as long as he cannot bear the sight of, look not of pleasing to the eye, he dare be approved dare write. Accordingly, “ has his study entitle oneself to not be fast ” . Life manner of Lin Yutang is with “ promising ” is a center, but the thing that often also “ is not ” . Stone of interpose of Jiang of no less than should arrange the place of assistant dean of an exam courtyard to him, but Lin Yutang does not suffer stoutly, after expressing to return Taiwan, ignore politics, want to had been made up only " contemporary Chinese-English dictionary " . " contemporary Chinese-English dictionary " write namely promising, ignore politics namely do-nothing. Lin Yutang reason is gentleman, because of its natural disposition is somewhat, do not be somewhat.
再说林语堂是个很有骨气很有节操的人。他心胸坦荡，敢讲真话，从不巴结权贵，始终不做官，只要是他看不惯的，看不顺眼的，他都敢批敢写。因此，他将自己的书房取名为“有不为斋”。林语堂的生活态度是以“有为”为中心，但往往也有“不为”的事。正如蒋介石要给他安排一个考试院副院长的位置，但是林语堂坚决不受，表示回到台湾之后，不问政治，只想要编好《当代汉英辞典》。《当代汉英辞典》的编写即有为，不问政治即无为。林语堂故为君子，因其禀性有所为，有所不为。
Er although do not say to go up gentleman, but we also can are somewhat, do not be somewhat. Be in this place that become, accomplish the thing best, do it namely; Be in the place that ought not to become, insist to be not done, do not be namely.
尔等虽称不上君子，但我们也可以有所为，有所不为。在该做的地方，将事情做到最好，即为之；在不该做的地方，坚持不做，即不为。
Green and cantabile, years is like a book, we hope to seek gain on green journey, we long to be somewhat for certain, but should be somewhat while, also want to choose to be somewhat, namely place cannot think.
青春如歌，岁月如书，我们希望在青春的旅途上寻求成果，我们肯定渴望有所为，可是当有所为的同时，也要选择有所不为，即所不可以为的。(文/王程锋)
