直到最近白日做梦通常被认为不是浪费时间就是要患精神病的征兆。

习惯性白日做梦被看做精神失调的证据或是对

现实生活和责任的逃避。

人们相信，习惯性白日做梦会使人远离社会，降低其处理现实问题的效率。

最好的情况来

讲，白日做梦被认为是代替生活现实的补偿品。

任何事情做得过分都可能有害，白日做梦也是一样。

总有那么一些人，他们用想入非非的生活来代替实际活动得到

的好处。

但是这一类极端的情况极为罕见，愈来愈多的资料都能证明这样一种看法：

大多数人的白日梦做的太少

了，而不是太多了。

现在我们才开始了解到它确实是多么有价值。

当一个人被禁止做白日梦时，他们的感情平衡就

可以被搅乱。

不仅使他们更难以对付日常的生活压力，而且他们的自我控制和自我定向变得岌岌可危。

最近的研究

表明，白日做梦是日常生活的一部分，每天做一定数量的白日梦多保持平衡是必不可少的。

科学已经发现白日梦是

一种有效的消遣技巧。

但它的有利影响不只这一点，实验表明，白日梦特别有助于智力的发展，有助于全神贯注的

能力和与人交往、交流的能力。

笔

笔虽很小，却已经改变了历史的进程，决定了民族的兴衰，推进了民间的贸易,钳制了难以捉摸的不良思想，记录

事件，传播消息，为人类做了比任何其他工具或武器更多的工作。

没有它，进步几乎是不可能的。

车轮和螺丝的发明，蒸汽机的问世，电力的使用，所有这些都曾改变了亿万人的生

活；然而，笔却做得更多。

他创造了奇迹。

他为所有的前进铺平了道路。

任何计划的拟订，任何法律的制定，无一

不出自于笔。
