奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导

The parents of Michael Angelo had declared that no son of theirs should ever follow the discreditable profession of an artist, and even punished him for covering the walls and furniture with sketches; but the fire burning in his breast was kindled by the Divine Artist, and would not let him rest until he had immortalized himself in the architecture of St. Peter's, in the marble of his Moses, and on the walls of the Sistine Chapel.

白话

米开朗基罗的父母认为当艺术家丢脸,不许家里任何儿子干这一行,甚至因为他把墙壁和家具画满草图而惩罚他。可他心里那团火像是上天亲手点燃的,怎么也压不灭,非让他一路画到圣彼得大教堂的建筑、摩西像的大理石和西斯廷礼拜堂的墙壁上,才肯罢休。这故事说的不是叛逆,而是:当一件事反复在你心里冒头,压下去只会更疼;与其和它较劲,不如认真评估它,然后给它一条正当的出路。

上下文

同出马登《奋力向前》。文艺复兴时期艺术家的社会地位仍不高,家庭常希望子弟从事更“体面”的职业。

今日一问

你心里那件“总也放不下”的事,是被一时冲动驱动,还是反复出现、值得认真对待?
