为什么值得读
- 语言极其真诚且具有强大的思想启迪力量
- 提醒人们跳出无意识思维惯性成为心智的主人
- 篇幅虽短却触及对自我与真实生活本质的感知
David Foster Wallace一生中仅有一次公开谈及他的人生观，那是在2005年Kenyon College毕业典礼上的演讲。这篇演讲首次以图书形式收录于THIS IS WATER中。人怎样才能避免在舒适富足的成年生活中浑浑噩噩地度过？我们如何将自己从思维的焦点中抽离出来，从而获得同理心？这场演讲展现了Wallace充满火花的才智，以及他对他人投以关注时的从容与体贴。在他去世后，这篇文章成为珍贵的文字记录，并被The Wall Street Journal和the London Times转载，

这篇帖子大量借鉴了大卫·福斯特·华莱士（David Foster Wallace）在肯扬学院发表的那篇著名演讲《这就是水》（This is Water）。非常值得一读。演讲全文见这里：http://moreintelligentlife.com/story/david-foster-wallace-in...

……金钱如粪土》（Was No Object）- https://youtu.be/C_sbcSRMsOc 如果你想找篇幅更长、更有深度的内容，已故作家大卫·福斯特·华莱士关于类似主题的演讲极其真挚且振奋人心：《这就是水》（This Is Water）- http://youtu.be/dexIA_OfLzg

……像我一样静不下来，这些体式刚好能占据你恰到好处的心智，让你得以探索瑜伽中冥想的层面。阿斯汤加瑜伽就是我对大卫·福斯特·华莱士那篇了不起的演讲《这就是水》给出的答案。[0] 头脑确实是一个“极好的仆人”，而我可以自豪地说我是它的主人。顺便说个趣事：当伟大的阿斯汤加大师斯里·帕塔比·乔伊斯被一个学生问到为什么他不会……
…restless like me, the postures will keep just enough of your mind occupied to allow yourself to explore yoga's meditative aspects. Ashtanga is my answer to David Foster Wallace's remarkable speech, "This Is Water".[0] The mind is indeed an "excellent servant", and I can proudly say that I am its master. Fun fact: When Sri Pattabhi Jois, a great Ashtanga guru, was asked by a student asked him why he would not…

……在另一条时间线里。你即是一切之存在，也是未来之一切——只是你现在还没完全想通罢了。我正在写的这条回复也是写给我自己的，是的我心里完全清楚。你应该去读读大卫·福斯特·华莱士的《这就是水》，或许能稍微领会一点我在说什么，但即便如此，那也只是我们真实面貌的冰山一角。另外你该谢天谢地自己不能长生不老。长生不老……
…in another timeline. You are all that is and everything that will be - you just don't fully understand it yet. This response that I'm writing is to myself and yes I'm fully aware of it. You should read this is water by David Foster Wallace to maybe get a glimpse of what I'm talking about but even then it's a very small glimpse of who we truly are. Also you should thank god that you don't live forever. Living forever…
我听过的最棒、最真诚的毕业典礼演讲，是大卫·福斯特·华莱士在 2005 年给肯扬学院毕业班讲的那篇，后来出版成了一本小册子。书名就叫《这就是水》。文科偏向很重，但真是一篇绝佳的演讲。http://vimeo.com/57350121（音频）
The best and most honest commencement speech I've ever listened to was David Foster Wallace's to the Kenyon College graduating class of 2005 that has since been published as a short book. It's called "This is Water." There's a heavy liberal arts slant, but it's a great speech. http://vimeo.com/57350121 (audio)
