人生就是一个不断"舍"与"得"的过程，在"舍"与"得"之间，每个人都需作出自己的抉择。舍与得，是一种哲学，更是一种艺术；是一种精神，更是一种领悟；是一种智慧，更是一种境界。鸣蝉舍弃了外壳，因而能自由高歌；壁虎舍弃了尾巴，因而能在危难之中保全生命；雄蜘蛛舍命求爱，因而得以繁衍后代。舍，并不是全部舍掉，而是舍掉那些沉重的、让你走不远的负累，留下那些轻快的、灵性的美好，从而让你闪耀着含蓄、内敛、从容的光芒。 本书主要告诉读者如何在舍与得中达到幸福和平衡，并且一直保持着幸福的状态。只要你能用"放下、乐观、平和、宽容、坚强"的心态来面对人生的变数，你就一定能经营好你的人生。One gives up something and gains something in his life. To give up or to gain? Everyone needs to make his choice. Giving up and gaining are a kind of philosophy and a kind of art; a kind of spirit and a kind of understanding; a kind of wisdom and a kind of realm. The cicada gives up its shell, so it can sing freely; the gecko gives up its tail, so it can save its life in a dangerous situation; the male spider gives up its life for its courtship, so it can have later generations. To give up something doesn't mean to abandon everything. Instead, it means to abandon those heavy burdens that encumber you and keep the brisk and spiritual good things, so that you can become reserve, restrained and calm. This book mainly tells readers how to achieve happiness and balance and how to maintain a happy state. As long as you can face the changes in your life with an "unworried, optimistic, calm, tolerant and strong" attitude, you will be able to manage your life well.
