Douglas 威廉.奥维尔.道格拉斯 During moments of sadness or frustration, I often think of a family scene years ago in the town of Yakima, Washington. I was about seven or eight years old at the time. Father had died a few years earlier. Mother was sitting in the living room talking to me, telling me what a wonderful man Father was. 悲伤或受挫的时候,我常常想起几年前在华盛顿州亚基马城家中的一幕。那时我大约七八岁,父亲几年前去世了,母亲坐在客厅里向我描述父亲是多么了不起。 She told me of his last illness and death. She told me of his departure from Cleveland, Washington, to Portland, Oregon, for what proved to be a fatal operation. His last words to her were these: “If I die it will be glory, if I live it will be grace.” 她讲到他最后一次生病去世的情景,讲到他在离开华盛顿州的克利夫兰赶往俄勒冈州的波特兰做手术,正是这次手术要了他的命。临终前,父亲对母亲说:“我死了,是天国的荣耀;我活着,是上帝的恩惠。” I remember how those words puzzled me. I could not understand why it would be glory to die. It would be glory to live, that I could understand. But why it would be glory to die was something I did not understand until later. 我记得那些话曾让我多么困惑,因为我无法理解死亡为什么是一种荣耀。活着是一种荣耀倒还可以理解,但为什么死了会是一种荣耀,我直到后来才明白。 Then one day in a moment of great crisis I came to understand the words of my father. “If I die it will be glory, if I live it will be grace.” That was his evening star. The faith in a power greater than man. That was the faith of our fathers. 有一天在危急关头,我终于领悟了父亲的遗言。“我死了,是天国的荣耀;我活着,是上帝的恩惠。”那是他的金星,即信仰一种比人类更伟大的力量,这也是我们祖先的信仰 A belief in a God who controlled man in the universe, that manifested itself in different ways to different people. It was written by scholars and learned men in dozens of different creeds. But riding high above all secular controversies was a faith in One who was the Creator, the Giver of Life, the Omnipotent. 相信上帝主宰宇宙中的人类,并以各种方式向形形色色的人证实自身的存在。学者和有学问的人在各种信条中曾予以记载,而让人在一切世俗论战中获得成功的秘诀是相信上帝创造了世界和生命,是无所不能的神。 Man’s age-long effort has been to be free. Throughout time he has struggled against some form of tyranny that would enslave his mind or his body. So far in this century, three epidemics of it have been let loose in the world. 人类长久以来努力为自由而奋斗,不断与某种奴役其身心的独裁形式作斗争。半个世纪已经爆发了三次由独裁滋生的传染病。 We can keep our freedom through the increasing crisis of history only if we are self-reliant enough to be free—dollars, guns, and all the wondrous products of science and the machine will not be enough. “This night thy soul shall be required of thee.” 只有当我们能自立,足以享有自由时,才能在历史上不断升级的危机中牢牢地把握自由——金钱、武器、科学和机器制造的所有令人叹为观止的产品都不足以保障我们的自由。“今夜必要你的灵魂。” These days I see America identified more and more with material things, less and less with spiritual standards. 这些日子我发觉美国越来越沉溺于物质享受,却越来越疏离于道德标准 These days I see America drifting from the Christian faith, acting abroad as an arrogant, selfish, greedy nation, interested only in guns and dollars, not in people and their hopes and aspirations. 这些日子我眼见美国偏离____的信仰,在海外的所作所为使其沦为一个傲慢、自私、贪婪、只对武器和金钱感兴趣的国家……而不关注国民及其希望与追求 These days the words of my father come back to me more and more. We need his faith, the faith of our fathers. We need a faith that dedicates us to something bigger and more important than ourselves or our possessions. Only if we have that faith will we be able to guide the destiny of nations, in this the most critical period of world history. 这些日子我越来越回想起父亲的话。我们需要他那样的信仰,我们祖先的信仰;我们需要一种信仰鞭策自己投身于比发展自身与积聚私产更重要的事业。只有具备这种信仰,我们才能在世界历史最关键的时期决定国家的命运。 英语长篇励志美文鉴赏 What Does God Say to Me? 上帝对我说了什么? by Dame Edith Evans 伊迪丝.埃文斯夫人 I believe that good is stronger than evil. I have found that if applied with complete faith, it can obliterate evil. 我相信善可以压倒恶,并发现如果我们完全相信善的力量,便能以善除恶。 Knowledge like this gives one great strength in time of oppression or tyranny. I believe that hatred is destructive. It is not always easy or possible to love people, nations, or ideas, but at least, I say to myself, Do not hate them: try to turn thoughts toward God. Someone once said, “It is better to love the good than hate the bad.” 这样的认识在压迫和暴政时期给人巨大的力量。我相信仇恨有毁灭性的力量,热爱人民、民族或思想总是不容易或不可能,但至少我劝诫自己:“别恨他们,努力把思绪转向上帝。”有人曾说:“与其憎恶,不如扬善。” I have all of my share of the artist’s temperament, and one of our faults is that we think people are being unfair to us, or that we are suffering from other people’s jealousy — the persecution complex, in fact. The one and only way in which I have been able to clear this away is to turn my mind and thoughts to good and to God. I say, Never mind what he or she or they say, what does God say to me? Where does my life come from? Who is the source of all my qualities, and can anything prevent those qualities from being used? 我拥有艺术家的禀赋,而艺术家的缺点之一是认为自己受的待遇不公,或者苦于遭受他人嫉妒。这实际上是一种受迫害情结。而我能摆脱这种情结困扰的一种也是唯一的一种 方法 是将心灵和思想转向从善和信仰上帝。我告诫自己:“别介意他人说什么,上帝对我说了什么?我的生命从何而来?谁赐予我所有的优点——有什么能阻挡我发挥那些优点?” I believe, today, that a great flood of good would be released in the world if all of us concentrated upon following the simple commands of Christ: “Love God first, and your neighbor as yourself.” As “yourself,” I try to remember. So if I think kindly of myself, then I think kindly of my neighbor. When Christ was asked, “Who is my neighbor?” what did He say? He told the story of the Samaritan. 今天我相信,如果我们所有人都一心一意遵循耶稣质朴的教导——“首先爱上帝,然后像爱自己一样爱你的邻居”,世界便会善举如潮。我努力记住“像爱你自己一样”。所以,如果我好好为自己着想,就会好好为邻里着想。有人问耶稣:“谁是我的邻居”时,他怎么回答呢?他讲述了撒马利亚人救助落难的陌生人的 故事 。 People are always demanding of us British, “Don’t you dislike Americans?” And conversely to you Americans, “Don’t you dislike the British?” I can’t bear classing people together nationally, and liking or disliking them. People are people wherever you meet them. They are all the children of the one God. 人们总是要求我们英国人回答:“难道你们不喜欢美国人吗?”反过来问美国人:“难道你们不喜欢英国人吗?”我无法接受按国籍划分人,然后决定喜欢还是厌恶他们。不管你身在何处,遇见的人都是一样的,都是同一个上帝的孩子。 I have been asked how I felt in the Blitz. Most of the time, I was in London, terribly excited by fear. But the only way I could keep going about my work at all was by constantly assuring myself that the all-powerful God would take care of me. 有人问我闪击战期间的感受。大多数时候我在伦敦,由于恐惧而特别激动,但让我能继续工作的唯一办法根本上说就是不断让自己确信,全能的上帝会眷顾我。 On looking round the world today, one is impressed by the amount of fear that is expressed by everybody: fear of war, fear of ill health, fear of not being able to hold a job, fear of people getting ahead of you, fear of losing opportunity; fear of losing friends, lovers, advantages; fear of death. 环顾当今的现实世界,我们深感每一个人受着许多恐惧的折磨;害怕战争,害怕疾病,害怕失业,害怕落后,害怕丧失机会,害怕失去朋友、心上人、优势,害怕死亡。 We are constantly reading articles, and hearing speeches, where the writers and the speakers tell us that we must cease being so material. But what most of us want to know is how? If a busy man at his office is faced with a seemingly insuperable problem, how is he to solve this problem by other than material means? 我们经常读 文章 、听演讲,那些作者和演讲者提醒我们必须停止如此沉湎于物质追求。但我们大多数人想知道的是该怎么停止。如果一个在办公室忙碌的人碰到一个似乎无法克服的困难,该如何通过非物质手段解决呢? But, of course, the answer is so simple. Like Naaman, who said, “Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?” we tend to disregard is always to turn our thoughts immediately, and with absolute confidence, away from the difficulty, and if, as I said at the beginning, one believes in the power of good, one must quietly know that the power of good will give all the right answers to the problem, even if the answer is required within a few minutes or half an hour. 当然答案很简单,正如乃缦所言:“大马士革的河亚罢拿和法珥法,岂不比以色列的一切水更好吗?”我们常常忽略了这一点,常常把思绪万分自信地立即从困难转移开。倘若如我在开始所说,人们相信善的力量,就必须明白,善的力量会恰当地解决这个问题,即使需要在几分钟或半小时之内解决它。 And when I say these things, I say them because I have proved them. In fact, throughout the ups and downs of my theatrical life, if I had not had some simple code — because I am not a highly intellectual woman — I should not be doing happily and successfully the work that I love 我谈论这些事情,是因为我已见证过这些事。实际上,我并非一个智商很高的女人,我的戏剧生涯充满了挫折,要不是我相信一种简单的信条,我决不会如此快乐地从事自己热爱的工作并获得成功。 英语长篇励志美文赏析 Spiritual Handholds on Life 生命的精神支撑 by Dr. Fred Dow Fagg, JR 小弗雷德.道.法格博士 The view of the high Sierra Lake, nestled in the snow and rock slightly below the timber line, was beautiful from my vantage point some five hundred feet above its shimmering surface. 坐落在高山上的谢拉湖,依偎在积雪与岩石的怀抱中,岩层往上是一片森林。从高出湖面约500英尺的观景点看下去,湖面微波荡漾,美不胜收。 I was anxious to rejoin my companions and try the fishing before are afternoon shadow - edging out from the surrounding array of peaks - entirely covered the lake. 我着急与同伴再次会合,准备在午后周围群山的阴影尚未笼罩全湖之前,一起钓鱼。离错层的页岩不远,便是一条通往山谷的蜿蜒小路。 Just a short distance beyond the intervening shale, the trail zigzagged down to the valley. I disliked the thought of returning by the long, tedious trail I had ascended, and decided to chance the shale - even though part of it lay above a sheer drop-off of several hundred feet. 我不想再走上山时所走的那条漫长而乏味的小道,便决定试着走上页岩——虽然这其中一段路的下面是几百英尺的垂直峭壁。 I started working my way over the loose rock with considerable caution and had covered about half the distance when I became aware of a slight but persistent yielding of the shale under my feet. 我小心翼翼地走在松动的页岩上。大约走到一半时,我发现脚下的页岩正一点点地不断下滑。我急忙寻找可以抓住的东西。我向前一扑,抓住了一块露出地表的坚硬岩石。 Desperately, I looked for something that would offer support and lurched forward to grasp a light outcropping of solid rock just as the surface shale underfoot - loosened from its foundation by the warm noonday sun - cascaded downward and disappeared over the cliff. Several seconds passed before I heard it rattle into the lake. 就在这时,脚下被午后阳光照射的发热的页岩表层开始松动,从山上滑了下去,消失在峭壁上。几秒钟后,我听到它落进湖中的声音。稍微考虑了一下抄近路这愚蠢行为的后果后,我想办法从一个支撑点挪到另一个支撑点 Finally - after due consideration of the folly of short cuts - I managed to move from handhold to handhold and, at last, pulled myself to the trail by the aid of a dwarf juniper root. I have forgotten how many trout I caught that afternoon, but I have not forgotten the value of handhold. 最终借助一棵矮松的根将自己拉到小路上。那天下午钓了多少鲑鱼,我已经不记得了,但我绝对忘不了支撑点的重要性。 Handholds are needed also during the course of everyday life. They provide security when the things we depend upon seem to be slipping out from under us. What are the spiritual handholds I have found to be most value? 在日常生活中,支撑点也是非常重要的。当我们的依靠即将从脚下溜走时,支撑点会带给我们安全的保障。我发现的最有价值的精神支撑是什么呢? First, the teachings of the humble carpenter of Nazareth - for their insistence on the supreme worth of the individual, for their stressing of the significance of sympathetic understanding, and for their unsurpassed evidence of dauntless faith. 首先,是拿撒勒卑微的木匠的教诲——他坚决主张个人价值至上,强调同情与理解的重要性,并为坚定的信仰提供了无可厚非的证明。 Second, the conviction that, while every person should delight in making a courageous and self-reliant effort to live up to his capabilities, there are well-springs of power outside himself that can be tapped - if he will avail himself of them. 其次,尽管我们每个人都应该乐于勇敢、独立地发挥自己的能力,但也要相信,只要我们愿意,我们也能从外界获得力量之源。 Third, that the nature of this world and of the people in it is determined more by our individual vision, understanding and conduct than by any material environmental factors, and that - in other words - nothing will produce the good world but the good man. 再次,除了物质环境因素外,世界和人类的本质更多的是取决于我们个人的视野、理解和行为。也就是说,唯有出色的人才能创造出美好的世界。 These are the principal spiritual handholds I have found to possess enduring value. They offer both an exciting challenge and a calm assurance. They are the things I believe. 这些便是我所发现的精神支撑点,它们具有永恒的价值。它们给予我们的不仅是刺激的挑战,还有令人安心的承诺。这就是我信仰的一切。
导语:即使你被告知要接受事实,也要自己找原因。下面是关于英语的励志文章带翻译,欢迎阅读。
《未来尽在掌控》
We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will effect it.
Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.
我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来,从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西,一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。
我们每个人都是农夫。我们若种下好种子,就会有丰收。倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草,我们就会徒劳无获。如果我们什么也不种,就根本不会有什么收获。
我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染。我们应关心未来,因为往后的余生都要在未来中度过。
往昔已一去不复返而且是静止的。任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去。英语短文未来就在我们眼前而且是动态的。我们的所作所为都会影响未来。
只要我们体会的出来,每天都可以发现新的知识领域伴随而生,可能是在家里,也可能是在我们的事业中。我们正处在人类所努力钻研的每个领域中进步的起点。
《最成功的投资》
I feel very presumptuous and uncomfortable about trying to explain out loud the things I believe in. But I do think that all human problems are in some way related to each other, so perhaps if people compare their experiences they may discover something in common in hunting the answers.
我想,若是大声解释我的信仰,不仅会给人一种自大的感觉,也会使我感到不安。但是我认为,从某种程度上来说,人类所有的问题都是息息相关的。因此,倘若人们比较一下他们的经历,也许就能在寻找答案的过程中发现某些共同之处。
I am a very fortunate man for I lead a full and what is for me a happy life. I say this even though I happen to have had, in the course of it, a couple of severe personal blows.
我是一个幸运的人,因为我的生活充实而幸福。不管怎样,我依然会这么说,即使曾经的多次不幸给我带来了沉重的打击。
My first wife collapsed and died one day while she and I were ice skating, after eighteen years of a most happy existence together. My only son, a sergeant in the army combat engineers, was killed in Italy in the last war. Nevertheless, these tragedies did not throw me completely and I have been able to fill my life anew with happiness.
我与第一个妻子共同度过了18年幸福的婚姻生活,然而在我们去滑冰的那天,她突然倒下,撒手人寰。我唯一的儿子是一名工兵军士,二战期间,在意大利阵亡。然而,我并没有被这些不幸彻底打倒,而是再次让我的生活充满幸福。
I do not mean to sound calloused. Those blows hurt me deeply. I guess that two basically important things helped me most to recover.
我并不是想让大家觉得我冷酷无情。这些不幸确实对我造成了很大的伤害。
One is the fact that I have come to see life as a gamble. The other is a belief in what some people call the hereafter. I try to live fully so that when and if my luck changes there will be little room for regret or recrimination over time lost or misspent.
我想我之所以能够重新振作起来,其中有两个重要的原因:一是我认为生活其实就是一场赌博,二是我对人们所说的来世深信不疑。为了在晦运时,不至于因虚度时光而后悔或自责,我努力让自己充实地生活。
My belief in the hereafter is wrapped in the intangible but stubborn thoughts of a layman. Very likely I would get lost in trying to describe or defend, by cold logic, my belief in God but nobody could argue me out of it.
作为一个普通信徒,无形而坚定的思想正是我信仰来世的来源。我信仰上帝,也许我难以用冷冰冰的逻辑来描述这个信仰或为它辩护,但谁也无法说服我放弃它。
I have come to believe that I owe life as much as it owes me, and I suppose that explains this fine satisfaction I get out of endeavoring to do a job to the best of what ability I have, and out of helping somebody else.
我相信,我对生活付出多少,就会得到多少。因此,我认为,我最大的满足正是来源于尽自己最大的努力去做一份工作或是帮助别人。
As a kid I used to ride a rake in the hayfields. I got a tremendous kick out of trying to sweep every field clean as a whistle. Here I made a surprising and happy discovery: that there could be actual enjoyment in the exercise of thoroughness and responsibility, and that duty didn’t have to be a drudge.
孩提时,我常会在干草地上开耙草机。在将每片草地耙干净的.过程中,我总会获得极大的成就感,并惊奇地发现:尽心而尽责地完成一件事会为你带来真正的快乐,而尽责也并不一定是做苦工。
I don’t know exactly why, but I like to do things for other people. Not only family responsibilities, work on a hospital board, and various church organizations but also themost inconsequential things that might hardly seem worth the time.
我很喜欢为人服务。我不仅为家庭负责,在一家医院的理事会及各种教会组织中工作,我还会去做一些看似浪费时间的最无关紧要的琐事。
My office happens to be on Independence Square and now and then I have occasion to direct a tourist to the Liberty Bell or fill him in on a little of the history of Philadelphia. The tourist doesn’t seem to mind and it makes me feel good. I’m afraid
我的办公室正好在独立广场,因此我偶尔会为去独立钟的游客带路,一路上给他讲一些费城的历史。虽然游客并不在乎这些,但我却乐此不疲。
I’m not very profound. that I have found it a good investment. It has paid me a very high return, undoubtedly more than I have tried to comprehend why something so simple and so sound as the Golden Rule is so often forgotten or held in disrepute. I can only say—and I say this quite selfishly—
我自己并非知识渊博之人。我常常想弄明白,像黄金定律那样简单而合理的箴言为何总被人们遗忘或不屑一顾。我只能说,也自私地说,我发现为人服务是一项最成功的投资。毫无疑问,它给予我的回报远远高于我的应得。

Learning to Get Out of the Way
In every one of the higher religions there is a strain of infinite optimism on the one hand,and on the other,of a profound the depths of our being,they all teach,there is an inner high--but an inner Light which our egotism keeps,for most of the time,in a state of more of less so desires,the ego can get out of the way,so to speak,can dis--eclipse the Light and become identified wiht its divine the unlimited optimmism of the traditional pessinism springs from the observed fact that,though all are called,few are chosen--for the sufficient reason that few choose to be chosen.
To me,this older conception of man's nature and destiny seems more realistic,more nearly in accord with the given facts,than any form of modern utopianism.
In the Lord's Prayer we are taught to ask for the blessing which consists in not being led into reason is only too temptations are very great or unduly prolonged,most persons succumb on devise a perfect social order is probably beyond our powers,but I believe that it is perfectly possible for us to reduce the number of dangerous temptations to a level far below that which is tolerated at the present time.
A society so arranged that there shall be a minimum of dangerous temptations--this is the end towards which,as a citizen,I have to my efforts to that end,I can make use of a great variety of good ends justify the use of intrinsically bad means?On the level of theory,the point can be argued practice,meanwhile,I find that the means employed invariably determine the nature of the end Mahatma Gandhi was never tired of insisting,the means are the end in its preliminary have put forth enoumous efforts to make their world a better place to live in;but except in regard to gadgets,plumbing and hygiene,their sussess has been pathetically small."hell,"as the proverb has it,"is paved with good intentions."And so long as we go on trying to realize our ideals by bad or merely inappropriate means,our good intentions will come to the same bad this consists the tragedy and the irony of history.
Can I,as an individual,do anything to make future history a little less tragic and less ironic than history past and present?I believe I a citizen,I can use all my intelligence and all my good will to develop political means that shall be of the same kind and quality as the ideal ends which I am trying to as a person,as a psychophysical roganism,I can learn how to get out of the way,so that the divine source of my life and consciousness can come out of eclipse and shine through me.
在每种高级宗教的信仰中既包含无穷的乐观精神,又有一种深奥的悲观论。它们都告诫我们,在我们生命深处有一道内在的光芒——而这道光芒大多时候多多少少被我们自负的阴影所遮盖。然而,如果愿意,自负可以离开,或者说可以让这道光芒重新闪耀,并与创造它的神相融合,于是产生了传统宗教无尽的乐观主义,而其悲观论源于人们观察到的事实,即尽管人人皆受到召唤,却只有极少数人受到垂青——全因几乎无人愿受到垂青。
在我看来,这种关于人性及命运的更老的观念似乎比任何形式的现代乌托邦主义更现实,更符合既成事实。
主祷文教导我们要乞求上帝保佑,不被诱惑引入歧途,原因非常清楚,如果诱惑太大或延续太久,大多数人就会屈服。也许我们无力设计一种完美的社会秩序,但我相信我们完全可以将危险的诱惑减少到远远低于目前可忍受的程度。
构建一个能将危险的诱惑最小化的社会是我作为一个公民奋斗的目标。在为之奋斗的过程中,我可以采用各种方式,然而目标正确就可以采用实质上不正当的手段开脱吗?在理论层面上,这一点可以广泛讨论;在实践中,我同时发现,采用的手段决定目标的性质,无一例外。确实正如马哈特玛·甘地不厌其烦地坚持的那样,手段是目标的初始阶段。人们千方百计将这个世界建成更美好的家园,但除了小器械,管道安装和卫生之外,他们的成就少得可怜。“地狱”正如一句 谚语 所说“是由善意铺就的”。只要我们继续试图以卑劣或仅仅不当的手段实现理想,我们的善意将同样酿出恶果,构成历史的悲剧和讽刺。
作为个人,我能尽全力使未来不像过去和现在那么富有悲剧和讽刺意味吗?我相信,我能。作为公民,我能以我全部的智慧和全部的善意,运用与我为之奋斗的理想同种同质的政治手段。作为一个人,一种具备身心的有机体,我能学会如何摆脱自负,这样赋予我生命和意识的神的光芒就能驱散阴影,照亮我全身。

Growth That Starts From Thinking
It seems to me a very difficult thing to put into words the beliefs we hold and what they make you do in your life. I think I was fortunate because I grew up in a family where there was a very deep religious feeling. I don’t think it was spoken of a great deal. It was more or less taken for granted that everybody held certain beliefs and needed certain reinforcements of their own strength and that that came through your belief in God and your knowledge of prayer.
But as I grew older I questioned a great many of the things that I knew very well my grandmother who had brought me up had taken for granted. And I think I might have been a quite difficult person to live with if it hadn’t been for the fact that my husband once said it didn’t do you any harm to learn those things, so why not let your children learn them? When they grow up they’ll think things out for themselves.
And that gave me a feeling that perhaps that’s what we all must do—think out for ourselves what we could believe and how we could live by it. And so I came to the conclusion that you had to use this life to develop the very best that you could develop.
I don’t know whether I believe in a future life. I believe that all that you go through here must have some value, therefore there must be some reason. And there must be some “going on.” How exactly that happens I’ve never been able to decide. There is a future—that I’m sure of. But how, that I don’t know. And I came to feel that it didn’t really matter very much because whatever the future held you’d have to face it when you came to it, just as whatever life holds you have to face it exactly the same way. And the important thing was that you never let down doing the best that you were able to do—it might be poor because you might not have very much within you to give, or to help other people with, or to live your life with. But as long as you did the very best that you were able to do, then that was what you were put here to do and that was what you were accomplishing by being here.
And so I have tried to follow that out—and not to worry about the future or what was going to happen. I think I am pretty much of a fatalist. You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
在思考中成长
我的信念是什么,它在我的人生中起到了什么作用------这些问题我觉得很难用言语解释清楚。我认为自己很幸运,因为我出生在一个笃信宗教的家庭。家里人对宗教谈论得并不多。每个人心中或多或少都有某些信仰,都希望通过某种方式获得力量,而这力量就来自信奉上帝并懂得如何祈祷。
我是在祖母身边长大的。随着年龄的增长,我对许多祖母视作理所当然的事产生了怀疑。我甚至拒绝让孩子们接触这些东西,似乎成了一个不近情理的人。直到有一次我丈夫劝我,这些东西你年少时也接触过,对你也并无坏处。既然如此,何不让孩子们也有了解它们的机会呢?他们长大以后会独立思考这些问题的。
他的话使我感到或许我们每个人都应该这样做------独立思考自己应该信仰什么以及如何在生活中坚守自己的的信仰。我认为人一生就应该尽全力做最好的自己------我想这就是我的信仰。
我不知道自己是否相信未来。我相信的是我们现在经历的一切一定有价值,因此必有某些道理,也必然预示着有些事情“将要发生”。但这些事情如何发生,我却不能决定。一定有未来------对此我深信不疑。但它会怎样降临。我不知道,然而着一点,我渐渐感到并不重要。因为无论未来如何,我们到时候总得面对,正如无论生活中发生了什么,我们都必须面对一样。真正重要的是要倾尽自己的全力。也许你能力有限、贡献不多,无法给予他人更多的帮助,或者无法活得那么精彩,但只要你能倾尽自己的全力,你就能完成来到人世间的使命,能体现人生的价值。
这就是我一直奉行的生活原则------不担心未来的事,也不为下一刻发生的事操心。我想我算是一个相信宿命的人吧。无论发生什么,我们都得勇敢面对,关键是面对的时候我们要勇敢,要倾尽自己的全力。

A New Look from Borrowed Time
By Ralph Richmond
Just ten years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor with a stethoscope. “Yes,” he said, “there is a lesion in the left, upper lobe. You have a moderately advanced case…” I listened, stunned, as he continued, “You’ll have to give up work at once and go to bed. Later on, we’ll see.” He gave no assurances.
Feeling like a man who in mid-career has suddenly been placed under sentence of death with an indefinite reprieve, I left the doctor’s office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a bench, perhaps, as I then told myself, for the last time. I needed to think. In the next three days, I cleared up my affairs; then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, but the months. 2 ½ years and many dashed hopes later, I left my bed and began the long climb back. It was another year before I made it.
I speak of this experience because these years that past so slowly taught me what to value and what to believe. They said to me: Take time, before time takes you. I realize now that this world I’m living in is not my oyster to be opened but myopportunity to be grasped. Each day, to me, is a precious entity. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to fill.
I’ve learned to appreciate those little, all-important things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on running water, the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered freshness of childhood. How well, for instance, I recall the touch of thespringy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed. It was almost more than I could bear. It was like regaining one’s citizenship in a world one had nearly lost.
Frequently, I sit back and say to myself, Let me make note of this moment I’m living right now, because in it I’m well, happy, hard at work doing what I like best to do. It won’t always be like this, so while it is I’ll make the most of it—and afterwards, I remember—and be grateful. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the sidelines of life. Wiser people come to this awareness without having to acquire it the hard way. But I wasn’t wise enough. I’m wiser now, a little, and happier.
“Look thy last on all things lovely, every hour.” With these words, Walter de la Mare sums up for me my philosophy and my belief. God made this world—in spite of what man now and then tries to do to unmake it—a dwelling place of beauty and wonder, and He filled it with more goodness than most of us suspect. And so I say to myself, Should I not pretty often take time to absorb the beauty and the wonder, to contribute a least a little to the goodness? And should I not then, in my heart, give thanks? Truly, I do. This I believe.

英语励志美文带翻译:一种无私的自私
A sort of unselfish selfishness
by WARD GREENE
When a man is ten, he has a boy's faith in almost everthing: even Santa Claus is a belief he is not quite ready to give up so long as there is a chance the old gentleman may really live and deliver. When a man is twenty, he is closer to compete disillusion and stronger conviction than he will probably ever be in his life.
This is the age of atheists and agnostics; it is also the age of martyrs. Jesus Christ must have been a very young man when he died on the cross; Joan of Arc, they say, was only nineteen as the flames consumed her. It is in the later years---oh, anywhere from thirty to fifty---that a man at some time stands with the tatters of his hopes and dreams fallen from him and asks himself:"What, indeed, do i believe?"
He is very apt, then, to cling to the words of other men who have written for him the shadow signposts that come as anything to poiting pathways he found best in the past and roads he will trust on the way ahead. These words may be mere copybook maxims: that honesty is the best policy, or haste makes waste. They may be alone from Shakespeare---
"To thine own self be true"---or from the bible---"All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them"---or from the poets" i myself am Heaven and Hell". They may seem a sort of hodgepodge in a man's mind, yet they can make a pattern not inconsistent and not weak.
So if i believe that i myself am Heaven and Hell, that anything less than honesty to myself and others is a boomerang on them and me; if my translation of the Golden Rule is simple acts of kindness and understanding and compassion, practiced in the hope that they will be shown to me, then i have a way of life that is a sort of unselfish selfishness. The bald statement may sound cynical, but if i can follow that way, i shall not be too unhappy here and i may face death with regret but an untroubled face and a stout heart.
But there are blocks and pitfalls in a way of life, even assuming that a man can adhere to it steadfastly despite his own inclinations to deviate. These obstacles are the work other men who adhere to other ways. Hence kindness and compassion are not enough.
A man, i believe, must have courage and fortitude and a burning sense of justice, too. There are times we should turn the other cheek, but there are likewise times when we must fight the good fight. When? Well, if a fellow can't find the answer on the signposts or in his heart, i guess he has just got to pray.

A Mask was Stifling Me');
Lucy Freeman
露西?弗里曼
I believe that everyone wants to love and be loved and that happiness stems from a facing and acceptance of self that allows you to give and receive love.
我相信,爱与被爱是每个人的渴望。一个人是否幸福,关键在于他是否拥有爱并能够接受爱。
Some think of love as a passionate, hungry, dramatic feeling, all consuming in intensity and desire. As I see it, this is, rather, immature love: it is a demand on others, not a giving of oneself. Mature love, the love that brings happiness, flows out of an inner fullness, and accepts, understands and is tender toward the other person. It does not ask to be served but only where it may serve.
在有些人看来,爱就是一种充满活力、渴望且极富戏剧性的情感,是占有一切的激情与欲望。而我认为,这种爱是极不成熟的爱:它是向他人的索求,而不是奉献。只有成熟的爱才能带来幸福,它是内心真挚情感的流露,能够接受并理解他人,给予对方温柔与体贴。它不索求服务,而是处处提供服务。
Six years ago I could hardly breathe because of acute sinus. My stomach was always upset and full of queasiness and I had trouble sleeping, even though I felt exhausted all the time. In desperation, after doctors who treated the physical symptoms failed to ease the pain, I tried psychoanalysis. I was lucky to find a wise, compassionate man who showed me what it meant to be able to trust myself and others.
6年前,由于身患急性鼻窦炎,我几乎难以呼吸。胃部也常感不适,易恶心呕吐。失眠问题也一直困扰着我,即使我感到疲惫不堪却依然辗转难眠。可是,医生对我的病症所做的治疗却毫不奏效,我的痛苦丝毫未减。绝望中,我尝试了心理疗法。很幸运的是,我找到了一位博学、热情的医生,他让我懂得了,能够相信自己与他人的意义所在。
The physical ills are gone, but more than that, I have at long last started to acquire a philosophy of living. I had never possessed one. I had lived on dogma and dicta which I had accepted unquestioningly through the years, even though I believed little of it, because I feared to question. But by being unable to live naturally and at peace with myself I was flying in the face of nature. She was punishing me with illness and, at the same time, informing me all was not well just in case I wanted to do something about it.
我身体的疾病得以治愈,而更多的是我最终开始学会一门生活的哲学。我一直是一个循规蹈矩的人,虽然我并不相信那些教条与格言,但多年来,由于不敢质疑,我一直不假思索地将其视为生活的准则。然而我却难以正常而平静地生活,总是坐立不安。最终,我受到了惩罚,病魔缠身,同时也得到了启示:必须对现状做出改变,否则将万事不顺。
In order to change, I needed help in facing myself. For me it was not easy to “know thyself”. All my life I had accepted the lesser of the two evils and run away from self because truth was more dangerous. Once I thought that to survive I had to put on a mask and forget what lay underneath. But masks are false protections and the inner part of me refused to go unheard forever.
为了改变现状,我需要帮助来面对自我。对我来说,“认识自己”并不是件简单的事。一生中,我选择了两个罪恶中较轻的一个:逃避自我,因为真相往往更为危险。曾经我以为,戴上面具,忘记面具下的一切,就能生存下去。
It caught up eventually, and unless it was to master me I had to face such feelings as fear, anger, envy, hatred, jealousy and excessive need for attention. When I realized I could not have done anything else except what I did, I was able to like myself more and be able to like others not for what they could give me but for what I could give to them.
然而,面具是虚假的掩护,我的内心决不肯永远缄默。最终这种情感占了上风,如果它不曾主宰我,我就依然得面对恐惧、愤怒、羡慕、仇恨、嫉妒和极其需要关注的情感。除了顺从自己的内心,我别无选择,当我意识到这一点时,我便更喜欢自己,也更爱他人。这并不是为了他人能给予我什么,而是我能给予他们什么。
The Bible shows the way to easy, happy living in many of its pages. It advises, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Those who expect the most are apt to receive the least. I had expected much and was filled with fury because nothing in the outside world relieved my emptiness and despair. Nothing did, either, until I could face the anger and fury, the emptiness and despair, and slowly start to know such new feelings as compassion, conviction, control, calm. I learned, too, of reason—that judicious combination of thought and feeling that enables me to take more responsibility for myself and others, that allows me to slay the ghosts of the past.
如何能简单幸福地生活,《圣经》中的众多例子都告诉了我们。它建议:“施比受更有福。”那些期望最多的人,往往收获最少。曾经,我期望颇多,内心却充满了愤怒与狂躁,因为外界任何事物都无法填补我内心的空虚与绝望。一切都于事无补,直到我能够面对愤怒、狂躁、空虚与绝望,并慢慢地开始懂得同情、信仰、自制与平静这些新的情感。我也明白了,理智正是思想与情感最明智的结合,它能够让我为自己与他人承担起更多的责任,驱除往昔纠缠我的幽灵。
For me there is much hard work ahead to achieve greater happiness. Yet, the very struggle I have put into achieving a measure of it makes happiness that much more dear.
对我来说,要想更加幸福,还需付出更多艰辛的努力。但是,为获得一定程度的幸福而付出的艰辛努力,才使得幸福弥足珍贵。
英语励志美文带翻译:心脏定律
The Law of the Heart
by J. George Frederick
J.乔治?弗雷德里克
At long last I have come to a rather simple point as to what I believe. I believe in what I choose to call “The Law of the Heart”.
最终,我明白可以将自己的信仰 总结 为一点,即所谓的“心脏定律”。
In the medical world this phrase, The Law of the Heart, means the great discovery by Professor Ernest Henry Starling of the precise method by which the heart accelerates and retards itself through the heart muscle; also the manner in which it accomplishes the vital twoway exchange of fluids between the bloodstream and the body tissues.
这个 短语 是医学界欧内斯特?亨利?斯塔林教授的一项伟大发现,是证明心脏跳动在心肌作用下加快和减弱的精确 方法 ;同时,他还发现,心脏进行的血液和体液相互渗透,对生命的存活而言是极其重要。人与人之间需要有重要的情感双向交流,这是我的人生观。
In my view of life there is also supremely needful a vital twoway exchange of heart qualities between human beings. Without it the human spirit and relationship to other spirits is lifeless and dangerous. Dependence on head qualities is mechanical and empty, just as we have discovered that babies do not thrive, even with technically expert nursing care, without mother love.
如果没有这种交流,那么一个人的灵魂及与他人的关系就会死气沉沉,危机重重。依赖理智会使人变得机械而空虚,正如我们发现的缺乏母爱的婴儿,即使在专业的技术护理下,也无法茁壮成长。
The Law of the Heart, in my belief, then, means that I can achieve greatest physical and mental health, and have the most constructive relations with life and people, if my matured emotional self dominates my motives and actions. When, after due consultation with my head, the true heart speaks, it is the finest and most mellowed judgment that I, human creature, am capable of. Man is indivisible, I believe; he is a whole; mind, spirit, body—but with only one real, fully representative voice—the voice of the heart.
我认为,心脏定律的涵义就是,如果我的感情成熟到可以支配自己的动机和行为,那就能达到身心健康的最佳状态,也就可以在生活中与他人建立最具建设性的关系。在与头脑适当地协商后,我所表达出的真正心声便是我作为人所能做出的最绝妙、最成熟的判断。我坚信,人是一个不可分割的整体,是由心灵、精神、肉体构成的一个整体,但唯有心灵之声才是充分代表人类思想的真实声音。
There is, in my belief, very suggestive symbolism in the means by which the Law of the Heart operates. We know that man needs to give others weaker, less fortunate, a transfusion of his blood as proof of fellowship. We know that hearts and arteries which are hard and unresponsive can bring the retribution of sudden death. We know that hearts which beat in unison with the problems, pains, miseries and needs of others know celestial music which can never be known to those who do not.
在我看来,心脏定律的作用方式充满了启发性与象征性。我们知道,为证明我们对其他虚弱、不幸之人的友善,我们需要给他们输血。我们了解,心脏和动脉僵硬且毫无反应时,就会导致猝死。我们明白,当心脏随着他人的困难、痛苦、不幸与需求而跳动时
We know that hearts capable of quickened pulse at the sight of beauty and nobility, courage and sacrifice, love and tenderness, a child or a sunset, achieve intensities of living—a song in their hearts—unknown to others. We know that those who choke off the heart’s native impulses will likely bring on a coronary thrombosis of obstructed emotion which can cripple.
我们就能领略到无此善心者所无从知晓的天籁之音;面对美丽、高贵、勇敢、奉献、关爱、温暖、孩子或夕阳时,心跳就会加快,并因此获得了生活的激情。那是他们的心灵之歌。是他人所不得而知的事物。我们都知道,人若是抑制心灵本能的冲动,就很可能会因内心情感的压抑,而导致冠心病的突发,甚至造成残废。
The first Law of the Heart, I feel sure, is to pulsate, to love. To fail to pulsate and love is swift and certain spiritual death. There are far, far too many of us who seem obsessed with self, unable or unwilling to love. The second Law of the Heart, I believe, is to give, and forgive, to sacrifice. The heart is the great supplier and giver to every remote atom in the body. The heart muscle is the strongest in the whole body.
我确信,心脏定律的第一条便是心跳,是爱。没有了心跳,不再去爱,精神无疑就会迅速衰竭。我们当中有太多的人总是以自我为中心,不能或不愿意去爱。我坚信,心脏定律的第二条是付出、宽恕和牺牲。心脏是身体每一个微小细胞原的能量供给中心,而整个身体中,最强韧的部分便是心肌。
These things I know and believe, and they provide me with the foundation of what I call my humanistic philosophy of life. It works for me. I feel close to the earth with it. Yet face uplifted. The heart is closer to everlasting reality, although I am fully aware that I must not let raw emotion masquerade as a heart quality, and that the immature heart can make serious errors. The educated, matured heart is, to my belief, not only the noblest thing in man but also the great hope of the world.
我的人道主义生活哲学正是基于这些我所知道并相信的知识。它们为我所用。也正因为有它,我才感觉自己能更接近现实,昂首面对生活。我的心更接近永恒的现实,虽然我完全明白,不能将虚伪的粗俗情感当成心灵的特质,而且心灵不成熟便易于导致严重的错误。我相信,拥有良好的 教育 及成熟的心灵,不仅是人类最为高贵的品质,也是世界的伟大希望。

English story:God's wifeNew York city,It's a cold day in December. A little boy about 10-year-old was standing in front of a shoe store on Broadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the boy and said:"My little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?" "I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes." The boy replied. The lady took him by the hand and went into the store, and asked the clerk to get a half dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. The clerk quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel. By this time the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she then purchased him a pair of shoes, and tying up the remaining pairs of socks, gave them to the boy. She patted him on the head and said:"No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable now?" As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words:"Are you God's wife?" 纽约市,12月寒冷的一天。一个10岁的小男孩站在白老汇一家鞋店的橱窗前,赤裸着脚丫,在寒冷中颤抖着并注视着橱窗。一个女士走到小男孩跟前问到:“小家伙,你为什么这么专注的看橱窗呢?” “我在请求上帝给我一双鞋。”小孩子回答到。 女士牵着小男子的手走进了商店,她让店员取来半打棉袜给小男孩。然后她问是否能给她拿一盆水和一条毛巾。店员很快就拿过来了。女士带着小家伙走到商店后面,拿下手套,蹲下来给他洗脚,然后用毛巾擦干。这时店员拿来一双袜子。女士给小家伙穿上,并为他买了一双鞋穿上,并把剩余的袜子打包起来给小男孩,女士拍着小男孩的头说到:“小家伙,现在感觉舒服多了,不是吗?” 当女士转身要走时,小男孩拉住女士的手,抬起头看着她的脸,眼睛中充满了泪水,答到:"请问你是上帝的妻子吗?"

励志英文文章篇(一)
An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer (contractor) of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.
一位老木匠打算退休了。他向自己所在的建筑公司雇主请辞,表示想要和自己的老伴以及大家庭去过一种更加闲适的生活。他会想念领薪水的日子,但他还是该退休了,他想日子总是能过下去的。
The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and usedinferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.
老板很舍不得自己的好员工离开,他对木匠说请你再建最后一座房子吧,就算是帮我个忙。木匠答应了,但很快就明显可以看出他的心已经不在工作上了。他用拙劣的技巧和劣质的材料建这座房子,用这种状态来结束他的职业生涯其实是一种遗憾。
When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."
木匠完成了他的工作,负责人来验收房屋,老板将这座房屋的前门钥匙递到了木匠手上,说:“这房子现在归你了,作为我给你的礼物。”
What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
木匠顿时感到很震惊。多可惜啊!如果他知道是在为自己修建这所房子的话,他会完全以另一种态度来对待。而现在他不得不住在这座自己胡乱修建的房子里了。
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.
想象一下你就是这个木匠,想象你正在建造这座房子,你每天钉进一颗钉子、安装一块板子或者筑起一面墙。请用心对待吧,这是唯一一个你为自己打造的生活。即使你只在里面住上一天,这一天也要活得有光彩、有尊严。正如格言所说,“生活是一个只有靠自己才能完成的项目。”
Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and withdignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project."
谁还能说的再清楚些呢?你今天的生活就是你自己过去的态度和选择的结果,你未来的`生活就是你现在的态度和选择的结果。
Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.
励志英文文章(二)
A man had a little daughter—an only and much-loved child. He lived for her—she was his life. So when she became ill, he became like a man possessed, moving heaven and earth to bring about her restoration to health.
一个男人有一个小女儿,那是唯一的孩子,他深深地爱着她,为她而活,她就是他的生命。所以,当女儿生病时,他像疯了一般竭尽全力想让她恢复健康。
His best efforts, however, proved unavailing and the child died. The father became a bitter recluse, shutting himself away from his many friends and refusing every activity that might restore his poise and bring him back to his normal self. But one night he had a dream.
然而,他所有的努力都无济于事,女儿还是死了。父亲变得痛苦遁世,避开了许多朋友,拒绝参加一切能使他恢复平静,回到自我的活动。但有一天夜里,他做了一个梦。
He was in heaven, witnessing a grand pageant of all the little child angels. They were marching in a line passing by the Great White Throne. Every white-robed angelic child carried a candle. He noticed that one child‘s candle was not lighted. Then he saw that the child with the dark candle was his own little girl. Rushing to her, he seized her in his arms, caressed her tenderly, and then asked, “How is it, darling, that your candle alone is unlighted?” “Daddy, they often relight it, but your tears always put it out.”
他到了天堂,看到所有的小天使都身穿白色天使衣,手里拿着一根蜡烛。他注意到有一个小天使的蜡烛没有点亮。随后,他看到那个拿着没有点亮的蜡烛的小天使是自己的女儿。他奔过去,一把将女儿抱在怀里,亲切地爱抚着她,然后问道:“宝贝儿,为什么只有你的蜡烛没有点亮呢?”“爸爸,他们经常重新点亮蜡烛,可是你的眼泪总是把它熄灭。”
Just then he awoke from his dream. The lesson was crystal clear, and its effects were immediate. From that hour on he was not a recluse, but mingled freely and cheerfully with his former friends and associates. No longer would his darling‘s candle be extinguished by his useless tears.
就在这时,他从梦中醒来。梦给他上的一课像水晶般透明,而且立竿见影。从那个时刻起,他不再消极遁世,而是自由自在,兴高采烈的回到从前的朋友和同事们中间。宝贝女儿的蜡烛再也没有被他无用的眼泪熄灭过。

英语励志小短文1:
We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will effect it.
Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.
我们可以掌握神秘而不可知未来,从中创出我们所能想象任何东西,一如雕刻家可以将未成型石头刻出雕像一样。
我们每个人都是农夫。我们若种下好种子,就会有丰收。倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草,我们就会徒劳无获。如果我们什么也不种,就根本不会有什么收获。
我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中错误所污染。我们应关心未来,因为往后余生都要在未来中度过。
往昔已一去不复返而且是静止。任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去。英语短文未来就在我们眼前而且是动态。我们所作所为都会影响未来。
只要我们体会出来,每天都可以发现新知识领域伴随而生,可能是在家里,也可能是在我们事业中。我们正处在人类所努力钻研每个领域中进步起点。
英语励志小短文2:
Everybody Knows:
You can’t be all things to all people;
You can’t do all things at once;
You can’t do all things equally well;
You can’t do all things better than everyone else;
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else’s.
咱们都知道:
咱们不行能成为每个人心中那个完人;
咱们也不行能一会儿就完结一切工作;
咱们不行能总比别人强;
本来咱们人道和其别人并无差异
So:
You have to find out who you are, and be that;
You have to decide what comes first, and do that;
You have to discover your strengths, and use them;
You have to learn not to compete with others,
Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*.
因而:
咱们有必要发现那个实在自个,并展示它;
咱们有必要明晰自个首要使命,并去实行它;
咱们有必要发现自个优势,并去利用它;
咱们没有必要去和别人相比较,
由于没有人能与你竞赛那个“实在你”。
Then:
You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness;
You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions;
You will have learned to live with your limitations;
You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due;
And you’ll be a most vital mortal.
那么:
你将学会承受你自个唯一性;
你将学会区别业务主要性,并决断地做出选择;
你将学会承受自个并非圣人;
你将学会给予你自个应得尊敬;
那么你将会生长为一个优异人。
Dare to believe:
That you are a wonderful, unique person;
That you are a once-in-all-history event;
That it’s more than a right, it’s your duty, to be who you are;
That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish;
And you’ll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.
英勇地信赖:
你是超卓,有特性;
你是这个历史上绝无仅有尤物;
做一个实在自个,这不仅仅是你权利,它更是你责任;
日子并不是一个待处理疑问,而是一个需要去爱惜礼品;
当你遭受波折时,你将有才能昂首阔步力挽狂澜。
英语励志小短文3:
If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.
假如你觉得心有余力不足,觉得缺少行进动力,有时候你只需要改动思想视点。
Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.
一旦改换看疑问视点,你日子会恍然大悟,幸福快乐会接踵而来。别交出把握命运主动权,也别盼望局面会不行思议地好转。你有必要与心里期望与热心步调一致。树立自傲,勇于与艰难浴血奋战,而非绕道而行。记住,力气不是驾御形势法宝,攻无不克才能才是最主要。
Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in.
请深信,夸姣来临并非不行能,失误也许是成功序幕。将惊慌化作信赖,学会逾越忧虑和疑虑。让“诚惶诚恐”韶光变得“赋有成效”。不要糟蹋精力,将它投到有含义工作中去。
英语励志小短文4:
There lies in the heart of every man and woman a quiet hunger:a longing for an earth shaking significance.
在咱们每个人心中都深藏着一份无声而实在巴望:一种发明光辉人生巴望。
It can be heard in the quiet, most unedited times like when our head hits the pillow at night. As the pressures of the day fade away the voice catches our attention: “I was meant for more than this, there has got to be something more.”
这种巴望有时会在不经意安静时间,比方当咱们在夜晚将头靠落有枕头上时听到。当一天压力逐步退去,有种声响会震慑咱们魂灵:“日子不仅仅是这么,我人生能够更绚烂。”
Many people have learned to accept a life of quiet resignation, committed to maintaining the status-quo. But still, in the times we least expect it, we hear that distant call again: a call for meaning, purpose, passion, significance. It continues to haunt us, to stalk us, and as we try to silence it with reason and maturity we find that indeed, it is a fire within our bones and it will not yield.
很多人现已承受了一种抛弃寻求愿望日子,只安于现状。可是有时候就在咱们最不经意一霎那,英语勉励短文咱们会再次听到那悠远呼喊:呼喊着一种充分,有内在,赋有热情和含义日子。这种呼喊会一向回旋在咱们耳边,缠绕着咱们,即便咱们试图用沉着和成熟去缄默沉静它,咱们却发现实事上它是咱们心里骨子里一团火焰,永久不会平息。
Our suspicions are correct. There is a larger story and we have a role to play in it. It has been said that what a man does during his life shall echo throughout eternity.
咱们直觉是准确。有一个绚烂人生故事,而咱们即是这个故事主角。有这么一句话:一个人终身回肠荡气,永存。
If you are ready to find your purpose, find the voice. Go back to the places that you have heard it most clear. For some it comes in the early morning, before the cares of the day have drowned them out. For others it comes through music, or movies, or books, or it is found on a walk through the woods or on the side of a mountain.

英语励志小短文5:
We'are just beginning "We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite..." I do not know who wrote those words,but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make can take the mysterious,hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine,just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone. We are all in the position of the we plant a good seed,we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. I want the future to be better than the don't want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives. The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect day brings with it new frontiers,in our homes and in our business,if we only recognize are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.
英语励志小短文6:
Today i shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediority.
today i am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.
today i will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard,for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me,generation upon generation.
today i will savor the taste of grapes from these vines and verily i will swallow the seed of success buried in each and new life will sprout within me.
the career i have chosen is laden with opportunity yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those who have failed, were they piled one atop another, would cast a shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth.
yet i will not fail, as the others, for in my hands i now hold the charts which will guide through perilous waters to shores which only yesterday seemed but a dream.
英语励志小短文7:
Failure no longer will be my payment for struggle. just as nature made no provision for my body to tolerate pain neither has it made any provision for my life to suffer failure. failure, like pain, is alien to my life. in the past i accepted it as i accepted pain. now i reject it and i am prepared for wisdom and principles which will guide me out of the shadows into the sunlight of wealth, position, and happiness far beyond my most extravagant dreams until even the golden apples in the garden of hesperides will seem no more than my just reward.
time teaches all things to him who lives forever but i have not the luxury of eternity. yet within my allotted time i must practice the art of patience for nature acts never in haste. to create the olive, king of all trees, a hundred years is required. an onion plant is old in nine weeks. i have lived as an onion plant. it has not pleased me. now i wouldst become the greatest of olive trees and, in truth, the greatest of salesman.
and how will this be accomplished? for i have neither the knowledge nor the experience to achieve the greatness and already i have stumbled in ignorance and fallen into pools of self-pity. the answer is simple. i will commence my journey unencumbered with either the weight of unnecessary knowledge or the handicap of meaningless experience. nature already has supplied me with knowledge and instinct far greater than any beast in the forest and the value of experience is overrated, usually by old men who nod wisely and speak stupidly.
in truth, experience teaches thoroughly yet her course of instruction devours men

YOUTH Samuel Ullman Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusia *** wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynici *** and the ice of pessimi *** , then you‘ve grown old, even at 20. But as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimi *** , there is hope you may die young at 80.

You will no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways, approaching new people, and asking new questions. You will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. You will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You will never suumb(屈服,屈从) to challenges of hardships. You will never waver(动摇) in your pursuit of excellence. After all, you are the best, and you deserve the best! As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part.

英语简单励志小短文:信心成就一切
Nothing succeeds lacks confidence. When you are truly and justifiably confident, it radiates from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet. It's important to believe in yourself. Believe that you can do it under any circumstances, because if you believe you can, then you really belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them. Confidence is more than an attitude. It comes from knowing exactly where you are going and exactly how you are going to get there. It comes from acting with integrity and confidence. It comes from a strong sense of purpose. It comes from a strong commitment to take responsibility, rather than just letting life happen. One way to develop self-confidence is to do the thing you fear and to get a record of successful experiences behind you. Confidence is compassionate and understanding. It is not arrogant. Arrogance is born out of fear and insecurity, while confidence comes from strength and integrity. Confidence is not just believing you can do it. Confidence is knowing you can do that you are capable of accomplishing anything you want,and live your life with confidence. Anything can be achieved through focused, determined effort and self-confidence. If your life is not what you want it to be,you have the power to change it,and you must make the changes on a moment by moment basis. Live your priorities. Live with your goals and your plan of action. Live each moment with your priorities in mind. Act with your own purpose, and you will have the life you want.
信心成就一切,当你真正自信时,它就像灿烂的阳光一样从你身上散发出来,就像磁铁一样将成功吸引到你身上。 相信自己非常重要。要相信自己无论在任何情况下都会成功。因为如果你相信你能做到,那么你就真的会做到。这种信念促使你不断的去寻找答案,而不断的探索就意味着你很快就会找到答案。 信心不只是一种态度,它来源于你确切地知道自己要去干什么并且确切地知道怎么去干。它来源于正直和自信地去行动。它来源于强烈的目标感。它来源于强烈地勇于承担责任的许诺,而不是让生命放任自流。 培养自信的一种 方法 是去做你害怕做的事情,并将它做成功。 信心是富有同情心和善解人意的。它一点都不傲慢自大。傲慢是由于害怕和缺乏安全感才产生的,而信心则出于坚强的决心和诚实正直。 信心并不是仅仅认为你可能会成功,而是确信你一定能成功。确信你有能力实现自己的愿望,并充满信心的生活着。 如果你足够专心、坚决和自信,那么任何事都能做成。如果生活不像你预想的那样,你有力量去改变它,并且你必须一步一步的去实现这些改变。铭记你生命中最重要的事情。有目标并且有计划的去生活。为你的目标而奋斗,你就会拥有自己想要的生活。
英语简单励志小短文:Youth《青春》
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
青春不是年华,而是心境;青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝,而是深沉的意志,恢宏的想象,炙热的感情;青春是生命的深泉在涌流。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
青春气贯长虹,勇锐盖过怯弱,进取压倒苟安。如此锐气,二十后生而有之,六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加,并非垂老,理想丢弃,方堕暮年。
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
岁月悠悠,衰微只及肌肤;热忱抛却,颓废必致灵魂。忧烦,惶恐,丧失自信,定使心灵扭曲,意气如灰。
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
无论年届花甲,抑或二八芳龄,心中皆有生命之欢乐,奇迹之诱惑,孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线,只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号,你就青春永驻,风华常存。
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.
一旦天线下降,锐气便被冰雪覆盖,玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生,即使年方二十,实已垂垂老矣;然则只要树起天线,捕捉乐观信号,你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

英语励志文章一
After winning several archery contests,the young and rather boastful champion challenged a Zen master who was renowned for his skill as an archer.
The young man demonstrated remarkable technical proficiency when he hit a distant bull’s eye on his first try,and then split that arrow with his second shot.
“There,”he said to the old man, “see if you can match that!”
Undisturbed ,the master did not draw his bow,but rather motioned for the young archer to follow him up the mountain.
Curious about the old fellow’s `intentions,the champion followed him high into the mountain until they reached a deep chasm spanned by a rather flimsy and shaky log.
Calmly stepping out onto the middle of the unsteady and certainly perilous bridge ,the old maser picked a far away tree as a target,drew his bow,and fired a clean,direct hit.
“Now it is your turn,”he said as he gracefully stepped back onto the safe with terror into the seemingly bottomless and beckoning abyss,the young man could not force himself to step out onto the log,no less shoot at a target. “You have much skill with your bow,” the master said ,sensing his challenger’s predicament, “but you have little skill with the mind that lets loose the shot.”
英语励志文章二
Life doesn’t always give us the joy we want. We don’t always get our hopes and dreams, and we don’t always get our way1. But don’t give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.
Look for the beauty around you, in nature, in others, in yourself, and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind2. You can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. It is all around, if you just look for it.
Give love, foringiving it you will find the power in life along with joy, happiness, patience and understanding. Believe in the goodness4 of others and re-member that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope.
Even when you feel as though there isn’t a lot you can do to change unhappiness or problems, you can always do a little —and a little at a time eventually makes a big difference.
Hope is always available to us. When we feel defeated, we only need to take a deep breath and say "Yes" and hope will reappear6.
外在压力增加时,就应增强内在的动力。人生就是需要一些这样的励志文字和 励志 文章 伴随我们一路前行,一起来看看我为大家精心推荐的比较励志的美文3篇,希望能够对您有所帮助。 比较励志的美文:人生没有太晚的开始 有个兄弟,一直很懒, 毕业 后换了不知道多少份工作,由于没有什么技能,只能跑业务。 昨天,他给我打电话,告诉我,他不想再这样下去了,现在已经辞职,准备踏踏实实地学一门本事,“重新做人”。 我大惊,你个贱人受什么刺激了? 他说,他觉得自己三十岁了,还混得这么糟糕,心里很难受,于是想给以前的兄弟挨个打电话,告诉大家,自己想改变了。 当他联系到一个高中同学的时候,在qq上问人家现在电话多少,对方回过来一句:你是要推销什么还是要借钱? 看到这句话,他没有再聊下去,欲哭无泪,憋了很久,然后想起了我,觉得我是个不会放弃兄弟的人。 这兄弟跟我说,这些年他一直害怕改变,觉得要是改变以后失败了怎么办,于是就混到了三十岁。 听完这句话,我立马破口大骂,你他妈的哪是害怕改变,害怕失败,根本就是懒!你就是一屌丝,失败了大不了做回屌丝,你能失去啥? 他沉默了一会儿,开始狂笑,笑声止了以后,跟我来一句,还是你最好啊,每次都跟我说真话,而且一针见血,看来我这电话打对了。 是是是是是,我说的就是真话,他这么多年一直很懒,频繁换地方换工作,没有核心竞争力,更谈不上有什么积蓄了,再这样下去,找老婆都是问题。 通话接近尾声的时候,我问他,你知道摩西奶奶吗?就是那个七十多岁开始绘画,然后变得特别牛逼的美国人,据说大名鼎鼎的渡边淳一曾受她鼓舞,弃医从文。 他说,我知道啊,这人很厉害。 我用略带低沉的声音对他说,是啊,我想送你一句话,这句话就是她的书名--人生没有太晚的开始。 挂完电话以后,我想起了我自己,有人经常问我,你一个学法律的为什么会去教英语?文字功底不行的情况下,快三十的人了,为何又开始写作啦? 其实,人生哪里有什么一定要怎么样,或者一定不怎么样的,除了每个人都会死这一事实之外,谁都不知道未来的自己会变成什么样。 我们只能是在当时那个阶段做出自己认为对的决定,然后采取行动。 我想去教英语的时候,我就认真学,认真教,自己肯定会得到很多锻炼。 我想练演讲的时候,我就坚持练,坚持向高人请教,我的讲话能力肯定会得到提升。 虽然文笔不好,文章没有文采,但又怎么样?我正尽力地表达我想表达的,只要我坚持写下去,迟早有一天,我会突破,就算不能文采斐然,那也比现在好。 做了,能改变一点是一点,不去做,永远不可能怎么样。 最近收到一些留言,意思都差不多,就是,我今年要怎么样,要成为什么,但是我现在各种不行,请问我该怎么办? 讲真,我得跟这些读者大人说声对不起,看到你们这样的留言,我内心是痛苦的。 你能怎么办啊?你能做的,无非就是先把眼前的生存问题解决好,然后利用你发呆看手机玩游戏的时间提升自己啊! 我不是说你的想法不切实际,每一个为实现自己理想而奋斗的人,都值得去理解,去尊重。 但是,你做了吗? 也许你跟我说之前,已经想了大半年了,已经跟很多人说过你的想法了。 但是,你做了吗? 想法谁都有,大话谁都会说,但能坚持行动的有几个? 别去问怎么办了,没人能给你正确答案,其实你知道自己该做什么,你只是迟迟不去做罢了。 结束语 人生没有太晚的开始,但是,你总得开始啊!比较励志的美文:哪有什么天生幸运 这几天,好些朋友来和我交流写文章的 经验 。我从两个月前开始在网上写文,第二篇文章就有幸上了微博热搜,转发破十万,后来陆陆续续写过一些转发很广的文章,前几天一篇文章仅在一个公众号上就已经点击破百万。我算蛮幸运的。于是不少人来问我,有什么心得吗? 我真的说不出什么来。讲来讲去,也就是“内容为王”和“很幸运”这两句话了。 其实,还有未曾说过的。比如,别人看到我是写了短短两个月,就攒到了两万关注,只有我自己知道,我写了岂止两个月。我收到第一本样刊在2006年。到现在,满打满算快十年了。这些年里,我收过的样刊摞满了书架。今年过年回家,我试图把新的样刊放进去,发现已经塞不下了。 可是,就像我会把样刊封存在角落里的书架一样,我一直讳谈自己是个写作者。如果有亲戚朋友问起,我都只推说自己是写了玩玩的。其实我写得很认真,却不愿提及这份认真。因为我害怕,怕被问起笔名,对方得知后茫然地摇摇头,说没听说过。十年之间,我陆陆续续换了几个笔名,躲在无人知晓的一隅,写着无人问津的文字。 得知我在写文的朋友们,最经常问的是:“你出过书吗?”抱歉,没有。我想写长篇,编辑A对我说:“你没有名气,所以你如果想写,我们只能让你替有名气的作者代笔。”我拒绝了。 后来在一家杂志连续发表了一些文章,编辑B跟我约长篇。我每天想梗想到凌晨,几易其稿,好不容易折腾出详尽的人物设计和大纲给她,她却再也没跟我提过。这件事就此被搁置了。 我想出一本自己的短篇小说合集,把十几篇文章发给编辑C,C对我说:“你粉丝不够多,我们要慎重考虑。”一考虑,就是大半年毫无音信。过了很久后我再问她,这才得知,她一直晾着我的稿子,还没有送审。 有一个因为写作而认识的朋友,走红了。有一天,我突然想起,之前每天都在朋友圈发自拍的他,似乎销声匿迹了。我好奇地点进他的头像,发现里面什么消息都没有,只有一条浅灰色的横线,休止符一样。我这才知道,原来他已经屏蔽了我,或者删除了好友。 遭到冷遇的经历,三言两语难以言尽。可是说真的,即使时时碰壁,我也从没有想过要停笔。 其实,我是一个挺务实的人,甚至有点功利。但是对文字,我却秉着超乎寻常的耐心。我不敢说“十年如一日”,但过去的这些年里,哪怕我知道可能再怎么写都摆脱不了小透明的命运,哪怕我知道自己可以拿写文的时间去做性价比更高的事情,我也从来没想过要放弃。 印象最深刻的高中时代,我租住在学校附近,学业压力繁重,自然没有人支持我写东西,于是我就偷偷地写。那时候我还没有 笔记本 电脑,便跟闺蜜借电脑,顶着冬日刺骨的寒风,骑车去附近大学的自习室,一个人一写就是一整天。听着键盘被敲击时发出的微弱响声,我会有一种莫名的满足感。 我随时随地将生活中的 故事 记录下来,即使最后大部分没能成为素材,现在看着那些生活记录,会有一种“噢!我原来还经历过这样的事情”的奇妙感慨。 寂寂无闻的漫长岁月里,我靠着一份愚钝的热爱,一直坚持到现在。如果说两个月攒到两万关注是幸运的,那如果把战线拉长到十年,或许就没多少人会羡慕我了吧。 去年在台湾,我遇到一个身障者。他在人烟稀少的山上开了一家餐饮店,从当初的无人问津,做到如今风生水起,很多文人雅士慕名来访。记者的长枪短炮架在他的面前,问他是如何做出这个传奇品牌的。他说了这样一句话:做就对了,做久了就对了。 人人羡慕他的幸运,才开餐厅没几年就备受关注。谁曾知晓,起步阶段,所有事情都要他一个行动不便的身障者亲力亲为,甚至连抽水马桶都要亲自打扫。他特地用手机拍下被自己打扫得光洁如新的坐便器,投影到屏幕上,在分享会时,乐呵呵地说:“辛苦,但心不苦!”我竟然听得鼻子泛酸。 还遇到一个即将退休的导演,他说的两句话,让我印象极深。他说:“喜欢什么,就把它玩下去,玩一辈子,就对了。”他还说:“要有耐心,恒心。”每当想起这话时,我心中总是涌起一阵感动。他的话,对每一个追梦的人来说,是慰藉,亦是鼓舞。 我的云盘里,有个文件夹,叫“英雄梦想”。里面存放着我曾经写过的所有文字,有被录用的,有被拒稿的,林林总总,许许多多。 杜拉斯有这样一句话——爱之于我,不是肌肤之亲,不是一蔬一饭。它是一种不死的欲望,是疲惫生活中的英雄梦想。 我把文字当做我疲惫生活里的英雄梦想。它曾经是藏在书柜里、无人看见的小小梦想,如今是被小小的一撮人订阅着的小小梦想。即使只是这样小小的成绩,我也深感自己非常幸运。因为这世上一定还有很多比我还努力的人,获得的关注却寥寥无几。 我有一个好朋友,十九岁就出第一本书,可以说是幸运儿。可是鲜有人知,她是在实习上下班的地铁上,写完了一本书。 我有一个喜欢的作者,几年前,她的主职是会计师事务所的审计师,工作忙碌,但她一直坚持写作,甚至有时候地铁上挤得连座位都没有,她就站着拿着电脑打字。 这样的人,受到命运的青睐,也在意料之中。 我看过一个朋友的采访,当时他在的团队拿了一个全国性比赛的金奖,采访者问他们为什么能取得这样的好成绩,他们归结于“幸运”。于是,采访者写下了这样一段话——幸运,从来都是强者的谦辞。每个幸运者的背后,都有着与幸运无关的故事。 我非常钦佩那些靠努力付出得来成绩,却愿意归功于走运的人。他们很少在朋友圈发一些自怜求安慰的内容,心无怨尤,往往默默地把事给做了,却从不居功自傲。他们没有人定胜天的骄横,对生活永远抱着一种感激的、谦卑的心情。就算有天生幸运,也只有这样的人,当得起此等幸运吧。 有句话说,你只有足够努力,才能看起来毫不费力。而我想说,你只有足够努力,才有机会拥有好运气。 比较励志的美文:你只是在用勤奋掩饰你的懒惰 大概因为毕业的学校还不错,又干着实际上苦逼但外人看来高大上的创业,网络上和现实中经常有人向我取经。 小A是我的邻居,刚毕业两年,在一家互联网公司工作,最近有件事让他愤愤不平:公司有位和他同期 入职 的同事刚刚升职了,但在小A看来不管从哪方面看升职的都应该是他。 “我每天都是第一个到公司的,几乎都是最后一个离开的,而他每天都是掐着点来,掐着点离开。论勤奋程度,我甩他几条街。论个人能力,我也绝对不比他差。为什么老板就是看不到这一点,反而提拔他了呢?” 小A是个性格很不错的小伙子,能让他都感到如此气愤,显然在他心中觉得那位同事跟自己是有比较大差距的。 无独有偶,有个亲戚婶婶最近也特别烦恼。她家小孩眼看就要上高三,面临高考了。孩子学习特别刻苦,几乎每天都要学到十一二点钟,但成绩就是不上不下。甚至有些原来成绩不如他,也远不如他勤奋的同学都纷纷反超。 在我们的生活中有挺多这样的例子:明明付出了比别人更多的努力,但别人似乎就是看不到,甚至老天爷也没看到,没有给予相应的回报。 身边人的求助让我开始思考这个奇怪的现象,最后还真找到了原因。这里并不想探讨“勤奋”与“结果”之间的哲学关系,而是让我思考,到底怎样的“勤奋”才算是真正的勤奋。 我发现的情况是:大部分人的勤奋往往流于形式,并且容易自我陶醉于“我在进步”的假象当中,反而疏忽了去做那些真正有助于自我提升的事情。 说得更不好听一点,这些人其实是在用勤奋掩饰自己的懒惰。 你是个加班狗,每天7点半就到公司,吭哧吭哧干到下午6点下班。出去吃个盒饭,回到公司接着拼命到晚上十一点才回家。 这样很辛苦,但不叫勤奋。 你每天早起晨跑、读书、冥想。你每天都过得很充实,俯视周围芸芸众生,觉得唯有自己卓尔不群,优秀得耀眼。 你是个有追求的孩子,但这也不叫勤奋。 大部分人对勤奋的理解,都肤浅地停留在这种表面的仪式感上面,而忽视了勤奋的本质意义。更可怕的是一旦你习惯了这样的过程,便很容易从中得到满足,最后当发现自己没有得到应有的回报的时候开始怨天尤人,觉得天道不公。 什么是对勤奋肤浅的认识呢? 重复性的做一件事情,却缺乏思考。 长时间的做一件事情,却缺乏思考。 以上两种便是最为常见的勤奋误区,也是大部分勤奋却平庸者陷入发展困境的本质原因。 重复且长时间的做事情其实并不难,只要条件具备,大部分人都可以做到。难的其实是思考。 工作大概3年的时候,因为应酬工作太多,我体重剧增。大学毕业那会儿差不多是110多斤,可巅峰时期差不多到了150斤。 我决定减肥,采取的方式是每天早上7点钟起来去跑步。 自己意志力还算是不错的,启动减肥计划后的一个月,每天都准时去跑步,每次3到5公里,但减肥效果并不理想。客观地说,收效甚微。 去请教一位运动和减肥方面特别专业的朋友,他了解完我的具体状况后说,你这样跑步身体素质是会提升的,但减肥是没戏的, 方法 完全就错了。 后来他给了我一堆资料,硬着头皮全部看完,我这个门外汉才开始了解什么是无氧运动,什么是有氧运动。什么是正确的跑步方式,该给自己配置什么样的装备。我开始学会计算自己的摄入热量,知道大部分食物的卡路里。 后面的一个月状况完全不一样了,体重开始有规律的下降,而且跑起来更加轻松,完全不像原来感觉就像是在服苦役一样。 但在外人看来,这两段时期我的“勤奋”程度其实是差不多的,只不过结果是天壤之别。一般来说,后面好的结果会被解释为“这是坚持的力量”。 只有我自己明白,这是思考的力量。 有益的思考+坚持做事情,这才是完整意义上的勤奋。 勤奋不是为了努力,是为了偷懒! 怎样的偷懒?就是更快的把事情做完,做好,是让自己能做以前做不到的事情! 创业的第二年,我开掉了公司一位挺“努力”的员工。有些同事,甚至是我爱人都不是很理解。勤奋的员工不是所有老板都喜欢的吗,我为什么没有耐心再给他多些时间,而是采取如此决绝的手段? 原因很简单:这名员工已经中了很深的“勤奋病”,尽管和他有过多次沟通,但仍然没法改变,最后只好痛下杀手了。 他每天7点多一些就到公司了,大部分员工下午6点下班,但他每次都差不多8,9点才会离开。但问题是,他所在岗位的工作量根本没这么大,为什么需要这么多时间用在工作上呢?我便开始观察他。 首先我发现的一个状况是:因为每天起的太早(他家到公司差不多要1个小时的车程),所以上午的工作效率是极低的。差不多到10点钟开始,就会频频打呵欠,直到午休后才会有所改观。 所以大部分的工作,他其实都是在下午的时间完成的。如此仓促,完成的质量自然一般。有时候实在弄不完,还会弄到更晚,这也是为什么他必须比别人迟下班的其中一个原因。 有的时候按时完成了工作,下班后他留在办公室,其实也并没有拿这段时间来学习提升,或者 总结 工作。他干的最多的,还是提前去做明天的工作。有几次他下班后甚至开始打扫办公室,干阿姨做的事情。 很多次和他交流的时候,我都有意无意提醒他每天不用那么早来上班,同时每天能干好当天的活就可以了,与其加班去做更多的活,还不如多学点专业方面的知识,提高下自己的水平。 可惜的是提醒没啥效果,最后的结果是:他每天工作时间是最长的,但专业水准提升在同期员工中却是最慢的。后面加薪、职位提升如果不照顾他的话,肯定会心理失衡,影响公司整个氛围,没办法只好劝退。 这个员工最大的问题就是:沉迷于无效的勤奋,而忽略的勤奋的目的本身。 看完一本书很容易,看懂一本书很难。 看懂一本书,还能把书里的知识、方法应用到生活和工作中去,更难! 看书不是目的,学以致用,重点是后面的致用。 所以每天都看书,一个月看多少本书,其实都不是勤奋。 勤奋之前,要想清楚你的目的是什么。如果你的目的就是看书本身,当然也是没问题的。 但你就别抱怨别人看书比你少,掌握的知识却比你多。 问题在于:大多数人流于表面的勤奋,偏偏要求真正勤奋才能得到的东西。 坚持做事情很重要,但做事情的同时思考如何更快、更好地把事情做好更重要。 再次强调:勤奋的目的不是勤奋,是偷懒,是为了把原来需要1个小时才能做完的事情半个小时做完,是为了能做到以前做不到的事情。 而不是把最简单的“重复性”工作持续下去。 我跟小A说,如果你老板不是傻子,你那同事不是关系户,那么他这样做肯定有你不知道的原因。 根据对小A的了解,以及他对那同事的描述,其实我大体知道原因是什么。 就算小A是在我的企业工作,我的选择可能都会差不多:我会更乐意给小A这样的员工加薪,而让他同事那种类型的人做管理岗位。 小A的长处是善于钻研专业,研究细节。这样的人是专家型人才,可以很好地把本职工作做好。但他的弱势在于大局观和“方向感”较差,同时人际关系处理上属于一般。 他那位同事虽然看起来“没那么勤奋”,但对业务方向的发展却相当敏锐,同时也具有人际关系管理的潜质。 小A有努力,也有思考,只是他勤奋的方向不同,最终得到的东西也不同。不出意外的话,老板应该很快会给他涨薪。 而婶婶的小孩就属于典型的“懒惰式勤奋”,将勤奋肤浅的理解为“每晚学习到几点”,将刷题库作为唯一的学习手段,做错的题不思考,做对的题不总结,成绩无法提升也是自然而然的事情。 反思 我们,有时候难道不是同样陶醉于这样的勤奋? 如果真的想要进步,请别再用勤奋掩饰自己的懒惰,真正开动起来吧! 以上就是我为大家精心整理推荐的比较励志的美文3篇,希望大家能够喜欢。
导语:青春是用来奋斗的,理想是用来实现的。在生命的道路上,要输就输给追求,要嫁就嫁给幸福!以下是我为大家精心整理的青春励志奋斗的文章,欢迎大家参考!
人生在世,每个人都应该拥有一个梦想,拥有一个实现的目标,拥有一个前进的方向。人生就是一个拥有梦想,追求梦想,实现梦想的过程。
正值青春的我们拥有春天的朝气,拥有夏天的热烈,拥有秋天的成熟,拥有冬天的坚强。因为我们年轻,我们有资本去挑战,有资本去奋斗,有资本去追逐自己的梦想。生命的光彩是需要绽放的,人生的价值是需要创造的,青春的梦想是需要奋斗的。年轻的我们应该脚踏实地干实事,坚持不懈圆梦想!
在坎坷的人生道路上,我们之所以要坚持不懈地实现自己的梦想。不仅仅是为了获取个人的成功,更因为我们可以为实现中国的梦想贡献出自己的一份力量。国家的安定让我们心中怀有更多的梦想,国家的发展让我们拥有了实现梦想的舞台,国家的富强让我们的梦想成为现实。个人梦离不开中国梦,没有中国梦便不会有个人梦。中国梦是国家梦,民族梦,归根结底是我们每一个中华儿女共同的梦。千千万万人民的梦汇集成中国梦,民族复兴的中国梦包含着无数人民的梦。站在这九百六十万平方米的土地上,生长在鲜血染红的五星红旗下,我们有义务、有责任去实现中国伟大的梦想。我们自豪,因为我们有机会为实现中国梦贡献出青春的力量。我们快乐,因为我们能在激情四射的青春时代创造自己的人生价值。
“杂交水稻之父”袁隆平的梦想是想让杂交水稻的茎秆像高粱一样高,穗子像扫帚一样大,稻谷像葡萄一样结得一串串。在农业上奋斗一生的他梦想着让杂交水稻覆盖全球。在实现梦想的过程中,袁隆平对解决中国人的吃饭问题,保证粮食安全方面做出了巨大的贡献。他使得我们国家的科研成果转化为现实的生产力,使得中国梦想的实现离我们又近了一步。
作为23万鞍钢职工代表郭明义的梦想就是让所有的中国人都有工作,有活干,有饭吃,有房住,大家吃得安全,住得舒心。心怀远大梦想的他认为中国梦就是全中国人的梦,要靠每个人的努力来实现。在为中国梦努力实现的道路上,他把自己的人生坐标与红十字复合在了一起,与红十字一路同行。他无偿献出的血液不知给多少生命带去了福音,他无私的爱不知感动了多少贫苦的孩子。他用自己的实际行动展现出自己的人生价值,用自己的能力帮助到需要帮助的人,他在平凡中展现了不平凡的伟大!他的行动感召和带动了众多的国人投身于社会的服务当中,为国人实现中国梦提供了一股强大的精神动力。
作为大学生的我们都拥有自己的梦想,在追求美好梦想的同时,我们应该谨记习提出的五点要求,深刻领会“空谈误国、实干兴邦”的内涵,从自身做起,从点滴小事做起,勤勤恳恳,用自己的行动充实青春的生活,用自己的智慧成就青春的梦想。在大学生涯中我们不仅要树立正确价值观,努力学好专业知识,而且要在社会实践当中锻炼自己的能力,让自己真正成为一个社会需要的人才。
既然年轻的我们拥有青春的激情与活力,拥有年少的轻狂与不羁,拥有绚丽而美妙的梦想,那么我们就应该用激情耕耘青春,用青春编织梦想,用梦想指引前行。在实现理想的道路上我们必须重视实干精神的培养,从想干事、敢干事、会干事、干成事这四个方面去努力。当脚坚实地踏在中国这片土地上时,我们应该让自己去闯荡,去实践。真理是靠实践的,经验是靠积累的,教训是靠总结的。不积跬步,无以至千里,不积小流,无以成江海。当我们没有大胆去尝试解决问题时,我们没有权利说问题的难易。敢闯敢干,大胆实践,问题才会逐渐解决,知识才会逐渐积累,能力才会逐渐提升。
毕业就业时,我们应该主动寻找工作,用行动证明自己是一个成年人,一个对社会,对国家有用的人。对于职业,我们不应该把高低贵贱的思想强加其中。在就业岗位上,我们应该要了解熟悉自身的工作,要确定工作的目标,树立创新意识,掌握解决问题的有效方法和重视人脉关系的建立。对待困难,我们应该要有越挫越勇的精神。总而言之,我们要用实际行动去诠释实干精神,让自己是生活变得更加充实,让自己的理想变得更加远大!
青春是用来奋斗的,理想是用来实现的。在生命的道路上,要输就输给追求,要嫁就嫁给幸福!朋友,努力吧!用青春的斗志来实现个人理想,用集体的力量去成就中国梦想!
人的一生,如果真的有什么事情叫做无愧无悔的话,在我看来,就是你的童年有游戏的欢乐,你的青春有漂泊的经历,你的老年有难忘的回忆。
寒假的时候,儿子从美国发来一封E-mail,告诉我他要利用这个假期,开车从他所在的北方出发到南方去,并画出了一共需穿越11个州的路线图。刚刚出发的第三天,他在德克萨斯州的首府奥斯汀打来电话,兴奋地对我说那里有写过《最后一片叶子》的作家欧?亨利博物馆,而在昨天经过孟菲斯城时,他参谒了摇滚歌星猫王的故居。
我羡慕他,也支持他,年轻时就应该去远方漂泊。漂泊,会让他见识到他没有见到过的东西,让他的人生半径像水一样蔓延得更宽更远。
我想起有一年初春的深夜,我独自一人在西柏林火车站等候换乘的火车,寂静的站台上只有寥落的几个候车的人。其中一个像是中国人,我走过去一问,果然是,他是来接人。我们闲谈起来,知道了他是从天津大学毕业到这里学电子的留学生。他说了这样的一句话,虽然已经过去了十多年,我依然记忆犹新:“我刚到柏林的时候,兜里只剩下了10美元。”就是怀揣着仅仅的10美元,他也敢于出来闯荡,我猜想得到他为此所付出的代价,异国他乡,举目无亲,餐风宿露,漂泊是他的命运,也成了他的性格。
我也想起我自己,比儿子还要小的年纪,驱车北上,跑到了北大荒。自然吃了不少的苦,北大荒的“大yan炮儿”一刮,就先给了我一个下马威,天寒地冻,路远心迷,仿佛已经到了天外,漂泊的心如同断线的风筝,不知会飘落到哪里。但是,它让我见识到了那么多的痛苦与残酷的同时,也让我触摸到了那么多美好的乡情与故人,而这一切不仅谱就了我当初青春的谱线,也成了我今天难忘的回忆。
没错,年轻时心不安分,不知天高地厚,想入非非,把远方想像得那样好,才敢于外出漂泊。而漂泊不是旅游,肯定是要付出代价的,品尝人生的多一些滋味,也绝不是如同冬天坐在暖烘烘的星巴克里啜饮咖啡的一种味道。但是,也只有年轻时才有可能去漂泊。漂泊,需要勇气,也需要年轻的身体和想像力,便收获了只有在年轻时才能够拥有的收获,和以后你年老时的回忆。人的一生,如果真的有什么事情叫做无愧无悔的话,在我看来,就是你的童年有游戏的欢乐,你的青春有漂泊的经历,你的老年有难忘的回忆。
青春,就应该像是春天里的蒲公英,即使力气单薄、个头又小、还没有能力长出飞天的翅膀,借着风力也要吹向远方;哪怕是飘落在你所不知道的地方,也要去闯一闯未开垦的处女地。这样,你才会知道世界不再只是一扇好看的玻璃房,你才会看见眼前不再只是一堵堵心的墙,你也才能够品味出,日子不再只是白日里没完没了的堵车、夜晚时没完没了的电视剧。
我想起泰戈尔在《新月集》里写过的诗句:“只要他肯把他的船借给我,我就给它安装100只桨,扬起5个或6个或7个布帆来。我绝不把它驾驶到愚蠢的市场上去……我将带我的朋友阿细和我做伴。我们要快快乐乐地航行于仙人世界里的7个大海和13条河道。我将在绝早的晨光里张帆航行。中午,你正在池塘洗澡的时候,我们将在一个陌生的国王的国土上了。”那么,就把自己放逐一次吧,就借来别人的船张帆出发吧,就别到愚蠢的市场去,而先去漂泊远航吧。只有年轻时去远方漂泊,才会拥有这样充满泰戈尔童话般的经历和收益,那不仅是他书写在心灵中的诗句,也是你镌刻在生命里的年轮。
前几天收到一封读者来信,讲自己大学读错了专业,工作上有各种不顺心,辛苦奔波表面光鲜而已。他觉得未来一片迷茫,问我到底该怎么办。
我也不知道该怎么办。这个世界仿佛只有少数极其幸运的人,大学读对了专业,又恰好做着自己喜爱的工作,领导重视,同事关爱。还清闲,工资也高。我想先讲讲我身边3个年轻人的故事。
我认识一个男孩儿,是宽带公司的一名网络维修工,某次网络出问题后跟我们结成了“友好联邦”。听他说,他小时候父母离异,跟外公一起生活,他几乎每天都要工作到凌晨,因为过了零点,每小时有100元钱的加班费。
某次我又报修网络,他说周日不能来,因为要考雅思。过了一段时间,他再次上门维修,跟我说:“我要去新西兰读书了,雅思考过了,也找到了工作,以后就不能来修了。”我惊讶得不得了,随口问他:“你为什么去新西兰?”他说:“因为我女朋友在那儿,我想过去陪她。如果是陪读的话,我们慢慢会有差距,所以我也要考过去,这样我们的距离不会太大。”
我还见过一个在电梯里工作的女孩儿,每天守在逼仄的空间上上下下,穿着很土,不化妆,梳个马尾,手里拿着一本英文书。最开始见到她,拿的是高中课本,然后慢慢变成大学课本、四六级、研究生复习材料、托福教材。谁都没有在意她在学什么,看什么,是什么背景,住哪里,工资多少,有什么梦想。只是楼里的居民有时会把家里看过的杂志送给她,大概觉得,只要是有字的东西,对一个电梯工来讲,就能用来学习吧。
后来,她消失了很久。再见到她,她穿着职业套装,匆匆忙忙地跑进一个写字楼里。她不认识我。但是我记得她。
听朋友说过一个农村姑娘,从小到大没出过县城,后来到了北京,在朋友家做保姆。做家务之余,她苦读英文,学普通话,上夜校,参加自考。后来她的雇主告诉我,这姑娘当了对外汉语老师,专门给钱不多但是又需要中文辅导的外国学生做老师。她不挑活儿,大小钱都赚,自己又节省,后来买了一部小车,这样能更快地穿梭在城市中,给更多的学生上课。令人惊奇的是,这姑娘还开了个早点摊儿,每天卖豆浆、鸡蛋和烧饼,同时还卖化妆品。
这就是生活在我身边的3个普通青年,他们没学历、没背景、没大款爹妈,连选错专业的机会都没有。他们想要的,也许只是你我唾手可得的东西;他们拼命赚来的钱,也许我们一句话就能从父母手里要来;他们来到这个城市之初,卑微得所有人都视而不见。但是不要紧,他们看得见自己。
什么是奋斗?奋斗不是让你上刀山下火海,也不是让你头悬梁锥刺股。奋斗就是每天踏踏实实地过日子,做好手里的每件小事,不拖拉、不抱怨、不偷懒、不推卸责任。每天一点一滴地努力,才能汇集起千万勇气,带着你的坚持,引领你到想要到的地方。
一个好久不联系的姑娘,突然联系我。她说,想来北京,但是不知道能不能找到工作,让我给她一些建议。这个姑娘是我老家的,比我大一点,29岁了,至今单身未婚。之前在老家的某杂志社工作,后来觉得没什么前途就辞职了。她说很喜欢北京,想来看一看,只是现在已经那么大年纪了,只身一人来北京需要付出很大的决心。家里人都在催她结婚,不同意她来北京当个北漂。
我给她的建议,当然是遵从她自己的内心。如果她很想来北京闯一闯,没有什么不可以。大不了失败了再回去,总比抱着缺憾过一辈子强。
事实证明在北京找一份工作也并不难,只要你付出努力,找一份工作在北京存活下来,还是可以做到的。但是我明白她自身的顾虑,如果我说太多就是对她过分强求了。谁也没有办法主宰别人的人生,她的人生我也左右不了,只有她自己能负责。
说一个正能量的例子,去年比较火的王德顺,一个79岁的老头,赤膊上阵走北京T台秀。之前看《重返二十岁》的时候,我搜过他的简历,但是我对他的详细了解,还是在我见到他之后。我读了他送给我的那本《活雕塑》,并且看了他在优酷上的讲演视频,才知道,他49岁时才选择来北京,当时,他抛弃了稳定的工作以及甚至可以解决后半生温饱问题的待遇,跟爱人只身来到北京。刚到北京时,连住的地方都没有,差点流落街头,十年坚持下来,他开始全国巡演话剧,去德国表演哑剧。现在他的境遇可想而知,他用自己的行动告诉了我们,人生没有太晚的开始。
当我看见一个快80岁的老人,活得容光焕发的时候,我想现在二十几岁的自己有什么理由不去努力。
在他做出人生艰难的、重大的那个选择的时候,他也犹疑过、踟蹰过,但最终他说服了自己,做出了选择。我们也一样,有时候面对生活,我们也可以选择,只是我们缺乏选择去做自己的那份魄力。我们害怕的与其说是太晚的开始,不如说是害怕面对未知的失败。所以,有些事情,我们只是想了想,还没有付出行动,就认输了。
一个前同事三十五岁,因为女朋友在广州,他离开了待了八年的北京,只身去了广州。走的时候很多人问他,为什么要走,现在的工作那么好,在北京也很稳定,去了广州,不仅一切要重新开始,而且什么人际关系都没有。
但是实际上呢,他在走之前就找到了去广州之后的工作,而且是一家国企。他向来是一个做事都很有准备的人,在没走之前就开始投简历、找工作。接到过几家不错的公司的offer,最终他选择了那家国企。很多人都怕重新再来,对一个城市依赖,对一份工作依赖,以至于永远停留在原地,不敢踏出那一步。
据说这个同事不久就在广州买房了,他现在的生活也不比在北京的时候差。他浑身散发的气息告诉我,自信的人从来不害怕重新开始。人生有时候需要面对各种重新来过,如果你没有勇气开始,你就只能永远原地踏步。
另一个前同事,也在公司待了八年,一直都是一个普通岗位的员工,没有加过薪,也没有升过职。很多人问他为什么不跳槽,不出去找一份更好的工作,因为他日复一日年复一年在一个岗位,没有变化的工作,看起来的确没有什么意义。八年前他才二十多岁,现在一转眼他就三十多了,以前他一人吃饱全家不饿,现在他将要面对的是结婚、买房等一些实际的问题。
他说,已经习惯了待在这里,并且也很久没有了解这个行业的变化,早就跟不上行业的发展了,很难再找到一份理想的工作,与其毫无目的地出去找工作,还不如在这个公司继续待下去。
那家公司,听起来的确很好,名气很大,一家在美国纽交所上市的公司,在那里上班,说出去脸上有面儿。但这对他来说,其实是在自欺欺人,因为我们活着不是为了别人眼中的自己。他不敢重新开始,重新迈出那一步,他只能一直停留在那里,拿着一成不变的工资,过一成不变的生活。三十多岁害怕一无所有,没有勇气重新来过。事实上这不过是你整个人生的一个小小的开始,因为三十岁,只是人生的三分之一,你后面还有五六十年要过。
同属一家公司的两个人,会有这么大区别的选择,不禁让我诧异。前面去广州的同事比后面这个同事还要大几岁,这种对比真的很讽刺。
我的爸爸如今也五十多岁了,写了一辈子的诗,一辈子想出一本诗集,至今都没出成过。但是,他一直没有放弃过,一直在坚持写诗,甚至在我的建议下,他开始玩豆瓣,在上面发一些短的故事和诗歌。我觉得人只要对一件事情充满热情,就没有什么太晚的开始。因为他对诗的热爱,对他本身的自信,他愿意从头开始。他刚学会用电脑,还不熟练,打字也很吃力,但是他一直在坚持更新豆瓣。这件事最终意义有多大,能给他带来什么,我不知道。但是起码他不觉得自己年纪一大把了还要去学习和改变,是一件不可能的事。
如果你想去做什么,就赶紧去做,不要觉得为时已晚。如果你想学一门语言,哪怕你不再是学生也没什么关系;如果你想学音乐,哪怕你不再年轻也没什么关系。是的,也许你现在不年轻了,但是你以后会更老,而且有那么多人在前面前赴后继,你没有什么好害怕的。
人生无时无刻不在重新开始,就像明天醒来又是新的一天一样,请你做好准备,迎接每一次重新来过的机会。
一早来到办公室,看到平日里元气满满的小美坐在自己位置上,眼睛愣愣地盯着电脑出神。
哎,你怎么啦?一大早没精打采的,神游太空去啦?我开个玩笑打破了沉默。
小美被我突然一叫吓了一跳,转身一看是我,紧绷的神经立马松懈下来。
没什么,就是心情不太好。小美眼神低垂,盯着空旷的地板慢悠悠地开口说。突然不明白自己每天在干什么,忙忙碌碌像个陀螺,可是你要是问我每天都有什么收获,我一个也答不上来。
小美是我同事,入职比我晚,在行政岗上班。每天最早来办公室的人是她,烧水扫地完后开始一天的工作。看她活力满满的少女样,似乎生活里的烦心事在她眼里都不是事儿。今天状态这么消沉,实在让我有些出乎意料。离上班还有点时间,我决定跟她聊聊。
你这工作做的不挺好的嘛,跟大家相处得也不错,怎么突然会这样想?
来这儿也一年多了,工作上越来越顺手,对周围环境也越来越熟悉,不知道为什么,人反而越来越不开心了。小美一脸愁眉不展,跟她平日大大咧咧的性格大相径庭。
刚开始还好,毕竟没上手,每天都有新的收获。做到现在越来越没劲,每天重复收发文件,整理资料,跑腿打杂,越忙反而越空虚。小美眼里写满了失望,看来这份工作真的做得很不开心。
那你想干什么呢?辞职?
你别说,我最近还真在考虑辞职的事儿。
我听了心里一惊。如果辞职的话,你打算换个什么工作呢?
哎,就是不知道,所以才纠结啊。我工作经验少你是知道的,行政类工作是个人都能做,我又不想做这个工作了。小美语气里满是无奈。
正聊着天,老总过来把小美叫走了,我们的谈话到此为止。
看着她远去的身影,我想起了刚步入社会的自己。
那时候大学刚毕业就来到了公司,虽然做的工作专业性较强,但做久了还是不可避免进入了倦怠期。
工作像游戏里的固定模式,选项配置早已人为设定好,我要做的就是循规蹈矩,按部就班地在固定的时间和节点去履行职责。生活就像透明玻璃瓶里的苍蝇,看似一片光明,实则无路可走。每天都在复制昨天,单调沉闷得像一个模子里刻出来的。那时候的我,套用现在的流行语来说,大写的迷茫。
有天跟老妈通电话,聊起初中的一个女同学,惊醒了我日益消沉的心。
跟我相比,她的人生可谓顺风顺水。知名财经类院校本科毕业后就考进了人民银行,虽然在小县城,胜在离家近。
得知她找了个好工作,大家都很是羡慕。相比一般银行任务重,压力大的特点,人行工作轻松,薪资又高。况且她爸是我们县人行的领导,就着这层关系她以后的路也好走得很。
没想到的是,工作两年后,她竟然辞了事业编,回母校读研去了。且不说边工作边考研难度有多大,她有勇气辞去众人艳羡的铁饭碗已足够让我刮目相看。
在大多数人眼里,尤其是父母那一辈人眼中,女孩子有个稳定工作再好不过了。对象好找,工作清闲,以后有的是时间照顾家庭,打着灯笼难找的好事啊。虽然暂时屈居小县城,以后有机会调动的嘛。
可是她说辞职就辞职了。据老妈说,她家里就这事反对得很,多少人挤破头想找这样的工作找不来,她竟然主动放弃了。
那阵子她跟家里关系闹得特僵,甚至因为这事儿周末都不回家了。家里人看她态度坚决,只好松口说如果考得上就同意,不然就老老实实在单位待着。
她也争气,还真给她考上了。家里人没办法只能同意了。
虽然平日里跟她联系不多,但是看她毕业一两年内的朋友圈,还是可以感受到她发自心底的不开心。
其实作为同龄人来说,我挺理解她的。虽然工作不错,可毕竟在十八线小县城,一眼望到头的生活又怎么装得下她那颗想要高飞的心?
现在的她时不时发些校园生活的趣事,看得出来很满意如今的生活。虽然不知道以后她将何去何从,不过我想这样的女孩子在哪儿都能光芒万丈。
反观小美的朋友圈,每天被各种吃喝玩乐刷屏,我不禁多了几分感慨。
每个人似乎都对现有的生活存在不满,都想逃离困囿自己的牢笼,可是知易行难。
有的人只是发发牢骚,吐槽完生活每天该怎么做还是怎么做,毫无进步。好比发誓要减肥,口号喊了千万遍,美食当前,心理防线顿时土崩瓦解。口号于他不过是一时兴起的自我暗示罢了,可是光喊口号能减肥么?讨厌自己明明不甘平凡,却又不好好努力,活该你瘦不下来。
真正想减肥的人不会整天把口号挂在嘴边,而是默默地在健身房里挥洒汗水。他们用毅力和行动证明着自己的决心。等你发现他减肥成效显着时,他已经破茧成蝶,蜕变成了一个更加优秀的自己。
李宗盛有句歌词写得好:当你发现时间是贼了,它早已偷光你的选择。今年快过半了,年初的目标实现了吗?对象找着没有?新技能学会没有?工作提升没有?不立即着手去行动,目标再宏伟远大也无济于事。
就像夏天在空调房里待久了不愿出去一样,人们习惯待在舒适区里懒得动弹,舍不得向外跨出哪怕一小步。勤奋小人和懒惰小人在脑海里乒乒乓乓打得不可开交,理智告诉你应该赶紧行动起来,身体上又贪恋这一刻的轻松舒适,而时间就在你抱怨焦虑的情绪中飞快溜走。
有时候越舒服越容易觉得心里空落落的,像缺了点什么;反而是做有意义的事情累到不行的时候,身体虽然精疲力竭,心情却是舒畅无比。
生存还是毁灭?莎士比亚提出了一个充满思考意义的命题。而对于生活,要么苟且,要么拼搏,你选哪个?
青春的梦想让我们不停向前,让我们在此停留,在此相识,在此扬帆远航。
“看蔚蓝的天空有幸福的彩虹,是属于你和我编织的梦,轻轻乘着风甜蜜的遨游,青春的梦想手中紧握,不怕孤单寂寞不怕泪水坠落,我要飞越世界勇敢地承诺,坚持最初的梦,幸福在转角等候”。那个我们相遇相知的日子,我们曾一起对着天空唱出我们的青春,唱出我们的梦想。
青春,在我们尽情挥洒的汗水中愈见本色;梦想,在我们一次次跌倒后爬起来的坚韧中愈见其轮廓。忘不了那回荡着我们嘹亮的口号的军训场地,我们一起流汗,我们一起流泪,一起欢笑,一起为青春为梦想呐喊。为人处世
青春,在那一摞摞厚厚的书本中得到充实;梦想,在那小小的舞台中央绽开花蕾。记得那些沉醉在书海中的日子,记得第一次上舞台时的羞涩与紧张,记得在大家一起激烈的辩论,记得在上台前大家的互相鼓舞。那些我们为青春梦想拼搏一年的日子一去不复返了,是的,再不回来了,但是,我们看得见,看得见大家那由稚嫩逐渐变得成熟的脸上写满了自信;我们还在继续,我们的心中默念了无数次,“永不放弃!”。
青春那只小小的帆啊,并不是那么一路风顺,并不是没有遇见风浪,并不是没有迷过航;那小小的梦啊,并不是那么明朗,并不是不曾在十字路口徘徊,并不是不曾退缩。只是,在风雨中的海燕告诉我们,在风雨中前进才配得上梦想的色彩,在挣扎痛苦中抉择才能领悟青春的魅力。
青春,原本就是那一只精致的酒杯,因为盛满了梦想的烈酒,才让我们如痴如醉。 想念的句子
青春,原本就是那一支优美的歌,因为我们充满梦想的吟唱,才让它更加动听。
梦想,就像那只遨游风筝,只有在蓝天的怀抱,才可以飞得更高,飞得更远;梦想,在青春的怀抱,绽放它最美丽的姿态。
也许,在多年以后的某个夕阳染红山头的傍晚,在夜风送来的阵阵轻灵的风铃声中,我们看似静漠地啜饮着半杯香茗,以轻柔的语调讲出那些我们从不曾忘记的梦,用汗水换来的青春时,我们安静而热烈,我们无怨无悔,为我们不曾白活的青春,为我们一起携手共进的梦想!转自人生励志故事
