Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean,an S-shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has,in a sense,replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civili?zation. Unlike real inland seas,which seem strangely still,the At?lantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.
Storm at Sea,a short poem,is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
When the voind is jrom the west All the uuaves that cannot rest To the east must thunder on Where the bright tree of the sun ' Is rooted in the ocean's breast.
As the poem suggests,the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves,impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise―it is forever thun?dering,boiling,crashing,and whistling.
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath―perhaps not so notice?ably out in the midocean,but where it meets land? its waters bathe up and down a sandy beach. It mimics (模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living crea?ture. It is filled with symbiotic existences,too; unimaginable quantities of crea?tures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat,a kind of subocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant,on rare occa?sions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.

Two of the hardest things to accom?plish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and,having gained it,to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather wellknown golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a halfdozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking. These same men can be found there day after day,and,strangely enough,each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth,success?ful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness,then each one should have been happy. Yet,it seemed to me,something very important was missing,else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew,each one of them,that their productivity had ceased (停止) .When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit* it is dying. And it is even so with man.
What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from The Book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible* The words were few,but they became memorably impressed on my mind: "In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread."
To me,that has been a challenge from my earliest re?collections (memories) . In fact,the battle of life,of ex?istence,is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul,too,have been and always will be a great in?spiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight,I have finished the course,and I have kept the faith.
