①当今社会是个看脸的时代,大多数人希望通过提升“颜值”来获得更多的自信与机遇。然而颜值并不能决定一切。马云,一个名列福布斯全球科技百富榜亚洲第一的男人,他并没有很高的颜值。但他通过自己的努力,取得了如今的诸多成就。即使是在颜值时代,修心亦是很重要的。②一个没有素质的人,就算穿的多么华丽,一说话一个举动就能暴露自己。一个非常有涵养的人,即使穿着朴素,和他相处也会觉得清风拂面。
故乡味道还证明着你口味的正宗。如果你对自己故乡的食物有着清晰的记忆,那么在一个饭局上,尤其是和你的口味正好吻合的饭局上,你就有绝对的话语权。故乡甚至关乎个人的尊严。在我看来,没有哪个地方的食物更好吃,但是一个故乡感非常强烈的人,他能把故乡的“口味正确”上升到信数的水准。比如,哪个地方的辣椒最辣,这绝不是史高维尔指数能够标定的。羊肉更是这样,甘肃、宁夏都声称自己拥有世界上最好的羊肉,新疆和内蒙古更具体到南疆还是北疆、呼伦贝尔还是锡林郭勒。一个海南人过来插话,加积鸭、文昌鸡、和乐蟹、东山一羊字还没说出来,所有北方的网友不约而同地敲黑板:注意,我们在讨论羊肉的话题。
故乡的风之所以气势恢宏,是其中的沙尘充当了风的武器。那时的风与沙尘,像是从未分开过。风力助推沙尘漫天席卷,掀翻了街口摆着糖果的摊板,刮跑了老爷爷头上的帽子。偶尔看见骑自行车的人,在风里歪扭一阵之后,不得不屈尊下驾,吃力地推车前行。有时在教室里正聚精会神地听讲,风猛然用力,让玻璃飞出窗框,在书桌上和地上“哗”地破碎。我和同伴们对风的防御,最早使用的是风镜。顾名思义,风镜就是防风的眼镜。玻璃镜片镶在细细的钢丝框上,四周有密织的布罩,两端用皮筋连接,套在头上拉至眼部,风便吹不着眼睛了。每副风镜五分钱,后来有了塑料的镜片,价格要高出很多。戴风镜并不完全是为了防风,重点是防风里的沙子。
这套说法你一定经常听说,它被不少人奉为养生经典。然而,就在2018年11月2日,这套理论终于被“官宣”为伪科学,美国圣地亚哥法庭判罗伯特.欧阳赔偿一名癌症患者1.05亿美元,这位罗伯特就是大名鼎鼎的酸碱体质理论创始人,他将红肉、糖、蛋、奶制品、酒精、咖啡等归类为酸性食物将蔬菜、水果,谷物、鱼类等归类为碱性食物。他不仅写了四本书来推广这套理论,还大胆地以这套理论为依据治疗癌症患者,癌症患者按照他的要求,放弃化疗,采用他独创的碱性疗法治疗,吃碱性食物,注射高达500美元一针的小苏打针剂,最终导致癌症患者病情恶化到四期。
