Like David's hart, I pant for the water-brooks. There is wisdom in the advice of Seneca, who says, "Where a spring rises, or a river flows, there should we build altars and offer sacrifices."The personality of a river is not to be found in its water, nor in its bed, nor in its shore. Either of these elements, by itself, would be nothing. Confine the fluid contents of the noblest stream in a walled channel of stone, and it ceases to be a stream; it becomes what Charles Lamb calls "a mockery of a river--a liquid artifice--a wretched conduit." But take away the water from the most beautiful river-banks, and what is left? An ugly road with none to travel it; a long, ghastly scar on the bosom of the earth.

史上最牛打工仔
俗话说得好:“拿人饭碗,受人管;你要别人的钱,别人要你的命。"至古以来,但凡有人的地方就会有打工的存在,但是打工,从来都不是一件容易的事,辛苦与受气像是早已注定的好宿命,无论怎么躲,怎么逃,都没有办法躲掉。当需要需要你的时候,就说好听的让你留下来继续工作,可实际上给他当牛当马一样使唤,当不需要你的时候,就会像踢垃圾一样,毫不留情的一脚把你踢开。可谁说打工就要受别人的气?我是来赚钱的,又不是来受气的。又是谁说顾客就是上帝的?有钱了了不起啊!惹到我,我就让去见真的上帝。李克同样是个打工的,但他却不是个会受气的主,谁要是敢让他受气,那这个人下场通常都会很惨。且看他如何演绎一种不一样的打工人生。
