最近重温《心灵奇旅》，想起一个小故事，分享给大家：
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street， going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed， one child appeared， and a brick smashed into the Jag's side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. He jumped out of the car， grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car， shouting， "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?" Building up a head of steam， he went on"That's a new car and that brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?" “Please， mister， please， I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!”pleaded the youngster. "It's my brother，" he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up. Sobbing(啜泣[chuò qì])， the boy asked the executive， "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."Moved beyond words， the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts， checking to see that everything was going to be okay."Thank you， sir. And God bless you，" the grateful child said to him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their home.It was a long walk backs to his Jaguar... a long， slow walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention. Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes， when you don't have the time to listen... Life throws a brick at your head.It's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick! Do you sometimes ignore loved ones because your life is too fast and busy leaving them to wonder whether you really love them?

Have a crush on sb 和 Have a crash on sb的区别：
1、crush 本义是“压碎”，Have a crush on sb. 比喻某人在自己心中的分量是沉甸甸的，也就是“深深地爱上某人”或“迷恋某人”，。（crush拥有独特的意思，它没有碰撞的意思。“美好的相遇意义在于彼此碰撞出的美妙火花”,这句话里的火花也不是现实中肉眼可见的火花）
2、crash 本意是“粉碎”，Have a crash on sb. 比喻某人在自己心中变得支离破碎，也就是“对某人完全失去信心”或“与某人彻底分手”。

He jumped out of the car， grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car， shouting， "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?" Building up a head of steam， he went on"That's a new car and that brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
Building up a head of steam: 蓄势待发
1. If someone or something builds up a head of steam, they get enough energy or support to make something happen.
2. If someone builds up a head of steam, they gradually become more and more angry, anxious, or emotional about something until they can no longer hide their feelings.
“Please， mister， please， I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!”pleaded the youngster.
"It's my brother，" he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.

It's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick!
Do you sometimes ignore loved ones because your life is too fast and busy leaving them to wonder whether you really love them?
类似的，《羊皮卷》里也有一句值得深思的话：“要善于观察生活当中的小细节。当你对一件事情产生好奇的心理时，其实你就发现了生活当中的宝藏"。或许我们每个人终其一生都在寻找属于自己的宝藏，其实，心在哪里，宝藏就在哪里。
