英語勵志文章1

　　We are a symbol of too much, and too much. But I believe that my image is not "the gentlest hands, skin, such as Diorskin" Lin Daiyu, nor is the modern "unkempt and shabby", "Su Qier". We are a symbol of hope and vitality. So we show in front of others should be ed without pleats, face without scale, modest and polite gestures exudes a stream of heroic spirit, the image of the vigor and vitality of the modern new youth, a into the embodiment of the spirit of nature.

　　Someone once said, life is a kind of hardness, integrity and dignity of life is propped up the hardness of bone.

Li Bai's "the eyebrow nengcui Zheyaoshan powerful thing, so that I may not be happy Yan" this awe inspiring atmosphere of the verse and whether it will make those no self-esteem people to shame? Loss of self-esteem is a worthless person, and we as the vanguard of the times, if drown in the darkness forever, or to do a dauntless hero, a flower in the wind and rain sonorous rose.

But the time can be changed, our image, our glory remains the same. Because we pride, because we are confident, because we have a fresh life. And because of this, it is a vast desert riparian long, Qingshan was evergreen, the hardness of life is forever.

英語勵志文章2

　　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。

　　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's years so the value of her lessons diminishes with the time necessary to acquire her special wisdom。 The end finds it wasted on dead men。 Furthermore， experience is comparable to fashion; an action that proved successful today will be unworkable and impractical tomorrow。

　　Only principles endure and these I now possess， for the laws that will lead me to greatness are contained in the words of these scrolls。 What they will teach me is more to prevent failure than to gain success， for what is success other than a state of mind？ Which two， among a thouand wise men， will define success in the same words; yet failure is always described but one way。 Failure is man's inability to reach his goals in life， whatever they may be。

　　In truth， the only difference between those who have failed and those who have successed lies in the difference of their habits。 Good habits are the key to all success。 Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure。 Thus， the first law I will obey， which precedeth all others is ——I will form good habits and become their slave。

　　As a child I was slave to my impulses; now I am slave to my habits， as are all grown men。 I have surrendered my free will to the years of accumulated habits and the past deeds of my life have already marked out a path which threatens to imprison my future。 My actions are ruled by appetite， passion， prejudice， greed， love， fear， environment， habit， and the worst of these tyrants is habit。 Therefore， if I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits。 My bad habits must be destroyed and new furrows prepared for good seed。

　　I will form good habits and become their slave。

　　And how will I accomplish this difficult feat？ Through these scrolls， it will be done， for each scroll contains a principle which will drive a bad habit from my life and replace it with one which will bring me closer to success。 For it is another of nature's laws that only a habit can subdue another habit。 So， in order for these written words to perform their chosen task， I must discipline myself with the first of my new habits which is as follows：

　　I will read each scroll for thirty days in this prescribed manner， before I proceed to the next scroll。

　　First， I will read the words in silence when I arise。 Then， I will read the words in silence after I have partaken of my midday meal。 Last， I will read the words again just before I retire at day's end， and most important， on this occasion I will read the words aloud。

　　On the next day I will repeat this procedure， and I will continue in like manner for thirty days。 Then， I will turn to the next scroll and repeat this procedure for another thirty days。 I will continue in this manner until I have lived with each scroll for thirty days and my reading has become habit。

　　And what will be accomplished with this habit？ Herein lies the hidden secret of all man's accomplishments。 As I repeat the words daily they will soon become a part of my active mind， but more important， they will also seep into my other mind， that mysterious source which never sleeps， which creates my dreams， and often makes me act in ways I do not comprehend。

　　As the words of these scrolls are consumed by my mysterious mind I will begin to awake， each morning， with a vitality I have never known before。 My vigor will increase， my enthusiasm will rise， my desire to meet the world will overcome every fear I once knew at sunrise， and I will be happier than I ever believed it possible to be in this world of strife and sorrow。

　　Eventually I will find myself reacting to all situations which confront me as I was commanded in the scrolls to react， and soon these actions and reactions will become easy to perform， for any act with practice becomes easy。

　　Thus a new and good habit is born， for when an act becomes easy through constant repetiton it becomes a pleasure to perform and if it is a pleasure to perform it is man's nature to perform it often。 When I perform it often it becomes a habit and I become its slave and since it is a good habit this is my will。

　　Today I begin a new life。

　　And I make a solemn oath to myself that nothing will retard my new life's growth。 I will lose not a day from these readings for that day cannot be retrieved nor can I substitute another for it。 I must not ， I will not， break this habit of daily reading from these scrolls and， in truth， the few moments spent each day on this new habit are but a small price to pay for the happiness and success that will be mine。

　　As I read and re—read the words in the scrolls to follow， never will I allow the brevity of each scroll nor the simplicity of its words to cause me to treat the scroll's message lightly。 Thousands of grapes are pressed to fill one jar with wine， and the grapeskin and pulp are tossed to the birds。 So it is with these grapes of wisdom from the ages。 Much has been filtered and tossed to the wind。Only the pure truth lies distilled in the words to come。 I will drink as instructed and spill not a drop。 And the seed of success I will swallow。

　　Today my old skin has become as dust。 I will walk tall among men and they will know me not ， for today I am a new man， with a new life。

　　《今天，我天始新的生活》

　　今天，我爬出滿是失敗創(chuàng)傷的老繭。

　　今天，我重新來到這個世上，我出生在葡萄園中，國內(nèi)的葡萄任人享用。

　　今天，我要從最高最密的藤上摘下智慧的果實，這葡萄藤是好幾代前的智者種下的。

　　今天，我要品嘗葡萄的美味，還要吞下每一位成功的種子，讓新生命在我心里萌牙。

　　我選擇的道路充滿機遇，也有辛酸與絕望．失敗的同伴數(shù)不勝數(shù)，疊在一起，比金字塔還高。

　　然而，我不會像他們一樣失敗，因為我手中持有航海圖，可以領(lǐng)我越過洶涌的大海，抵達夢中的彼岸．

　　失敗不再是我奮斗的代價．它和痛苦都將從我的生命中消失。失敗和我，就像水火一樣，互不相容。我不再像過去一樣接受它們。我要在智慧的指引下，走出失敗的陰影，步入富足、健康、快樂的樂園，這些都超出了我以往的夢想． 我要是能長生不老，就可以學(xué)到一切，但我不能永生，所以，在有限的人生里，我必須學(xué)會忍耐的藝術(shù)，因為大自然的行為一向是從容不迫的．造物主創(chuàng)造樹中之王橄攤樹需要一百年的時間，而洋蔥經(jīng)過短短的九個星期就會枯老．我不留戀從前那種洋蔥式的生活，我要成為萬樹之王——橄欖樹，成為現(xiàn)實生活中最偉大的推銷員．

　　怎么可能？我既沒有淵博的知識，又沒有豐富的經(jīng)驗，況且，我曾一度跌入愚昧與自憐的深淵．答案很簡單。我不會讓所謂的知識或者經(jīng)驗妨礙我的行程．造物生已經(jīng)賜予我足夠的知識和本能，這份天賦是其它生物望塵莫及的。經(jīng)驗的價值往往被高估了，人老的時候開口講的多是糊涂話．說實在的，經(jīng)驗確實能教給我們很多東西，只是這需要花費太長的時間．等到人們獲得智慧的時候，其價值已隨著時間的消逝而減少了．結(jié)果往往是這樣，經(jīng)驗豐富了，人也余生無多．經(jīng)驗和時尚有關(guān)，適合某一時代的行為，并不尋味著在今天仍然行得通。

　　只有原則是持久的，而我現(xiàn)在正擁有了這些原則．這些可以指引我走向成功的原則全寫在這幾張羊皮卷里．它教我如何避免失敗，而不只是獲得成功，因為成功更是一種精神狀態(tài)．人們對于成功的定義，見仁見智，而失敗卻往往只有一種解釋：失敗就是一個人沒能達到他的人生目標(biāo)，不論這些目標(biāo)是什么。

　　事實上，成功與失敗的最大分野，來自不同的習(xí)慣。好習(xí)慣是開啟成員的鑰匙，壞習(xí)慣則是一扇向失敗敞開的門。因此，我首先要做的便是養(yǎng)成良好的習(xí)慣，全心全意去實行。

　　小時候．我常會感情用事，長大成人了，我要用良好的習(xí)慣代替一時的沖動。我的自由意志屈服于多年養(yǎng)成的惡習(xí)，它們威脅著我的前途。我的行為受到品味、情感、偏見、欲望、愛、恐懼、環(huán)境和習(xí)慣的影響，其中最厲害的就是習(xí)慣。因此．如果我必須受習(xí)慣支配的話，那就讓我受好習(xí)慣的支配。那些壞習(xí)慣必須戒除，我要在新的田地里播種好的種子。 我要養(yǎng)成良好的習(xí)慣，全心全意去實行。

　　這不是輕而易舉的事情，要怎樣才能做到呢，靠這些羊皮卷就能做到。因為每～卷里都寫著一個原則，可以摒除—項壞習(xí)慣，換取一個好習(xí)慣，使人進步，走向成功。這也是自然法則之一，只有一種習(xí)慣才能抑制另一種習(xí)慣。所以，為了走好我選擇的道路，我必須養(yǎng)成的第一個習(xí)慣

　　每張羊皮卷用三十天的時間閱讀，然后再進人下一卷。 清晨即起，默默誦讀；午飯之后，再次默讀；夜晚睡前，高聲朗讀。

　　第二天的情形完全一樣。這樣重復(fù)三十天后，就可以打開下一卷了。每一卷都依照同樣的方法讀上三十天，久而久之，它們就成為一種習(xí)慣了。

　　這些習(xí)慣有什么好處呢？這里隱含著人類成功的秘訣。當(dāng)我每天重復(fù)這些話的時候，它何成了我精神活動的一部分，更重要的是，它們滲入我的心靈。擁是個神秘的世界，永不靜止，創(chuàng)造夢境，在不知不覺中影響我的行為。

　　當(dāng)這些羊皮卷上的文字，被我奇妙的心靈完全吸收之后，我每天都會充滿活力地醒來。我從來沒有這樣精力充沛過。我更有活力，更有熱情，要向世界挑戰(zhàn)的欲望克服了一切恐懼與不安。在這個充滿爭斗和悲傷的世界里，我竟然比以前更快活。 最后，我會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有了應(yīng)付一切情況的辦法。不久，這些辦法就能運用自如．因為，任何方法，只要多練習(xí)，就會變得簡單易行。

　　經(jīng)過多次重復(fù)，一種看似復(fù)雜的.行為就變得輕而易舉，實行起來，就會有無限的樂趣，有了樂趣，出于人之天性，我就更樂意常去實行。于是，一種好的習(xí)慣便誕生了．習(xí)慣成為自然。既是一種好的習(xí)慣，也就是我的意原。

　　今天，我天始新的生活．

　　我鄭重地發(fā)誓，絕不讓任何事情妨礙我新生命的成長。在閱讀這些羊卷的時候，我絕不浪費一天的時間，因為時光一去不返，失去的日子是無法彌補的。我也絕不打破每天閱讀的習(xí)慣。事實上，每天在這些新習(xí)慣上花費少許時間，相對于可能獲得的愉樂與成功而言，只是微不足道的代價。 當(dāng)我閱讀羊皮卷中的字句時，絕不能出為文字的精煉而忽視內(nèi)容的深沉。一瓶葡萄美酒需要千百顆果子釀制而成，果皮和渣子拋給小鳥。葡萄的智慧代代相傳，有些被過濾，有些被淘汰，隨風(fēng)飄逝。只有純正的真理才是永恒的。它們就精煉在我要閱讀的文字中。我要依照指示，絕不浪費，飲下成功的種子。

　　今天，我的老繭化為塵埃。我在人群中昂首闊步，不會有人認(rèn)出我來，因為我不再是過去的自己、我已擁有新的生命。

英語勵志文章3

　　The lives of most men are determined by their environment. They accept the circumstances amid which fate has thrown them not only resignation but even with good will. They are like streetcars running contentedly on their rails and they despise the sprightly flitter that dashes in and out of the traffic and speeds so jauntily across the open country. I respect them; they are good citizens, good husbands, and good fathers, and of course somebody has to pay the taxes; but I do not find them exciting.

　　大多數(shù)人的生活被他們身處的環(huán)境所決定。他們不僅接受既定的.命運，而且順從命運的安排。他們就像街上的有軌電車一樣，在他們既定的軌道上行駛，而對于那些不時出沒于車水馬龍間和歡快地奔馳在曠野上的廉價小汽車卻不屑一顧。我尊重他們，他們是好市民、好丈夫和好父親。當(dāng)然，總得有些人來支付稅收，但是，他們并沒有令人激動的地方。

　　I am fascinated by the men, few enough in all conscience, who take life in their own hands and seem to mould it in to their own liking. It may be that we have no such thing as free will, but at all events, we have the illusion of it. At a cross-road it does seem to us that we might go either to the right or to the left and, the choice once made, it is difficult to see that the whole course of the world's history obliged us to take the turning we did.

　　另外有一些人，他把生活掌握在自己的手里，可以按照自己的喜好去創(chuàng)造生活，盡管這樣的人少之又少，但我卻被他們深深地吸引著�？赡苁澜缟喜�沒有諸如自由意志這樣的事情，但是無論怎樣，我們總有關(guān)于自由意志的幻想。當(dāng)我們處在一個十字路口時，我們似乎可以決定向左走還是向右走，可是一旦做出選擇，我們卻很難意識到，實際上是世界歷史的全部進程強迫我們做出了那樣的選擇。

英語勵志文章4

　　Let's take steps to banish some of the most common negative thoughts many of us repeat to ourselves

　　Let's take steps to banish some of the most common negative thoughts many of us repeat to ourselves. Being in a negative space is harmful to our overall well-being, because what you dwell on can easily become self fulfilling if you don't change your mindset.

　　讓我們一起行動起來，消滅那些我們經(jīng)常告訴自己的消極想法吧！如果你不改變想法，而是一味地沉浸在消極的念頭中，那么，我們的整個身心就會受到影響，因為“噩夢”也會成真。

　　1.I'm not good enough.

　　我不夠好。

　　This type of negative thought that can apply to many categories. Maybe you don't think you're a good enough mother or good at a sport. Even if you find yourself lacking in something, there's no need to keep repeating it to yourself. The human brain is an incredible thing. Be inspired by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor, Harvard-trained neuroscientist who suffered a stroke that left her unable to walk, read, write, talk, or remember her previous life. Dr. Taylor took eight years to recover and has since then written a best-selling book about her experience and appeared on Oprah. Keep on working toward something, and watch the leaps and bounds you'll make.

　　這種消極想法有很多類型。比如你認(rèn)為自己不是個稱職的媽媽或不擅長運動。即使你真的發(fā)現(xiàn)了自己的弱點，也沒必要對自己不斷復(fù)述。人腦是神奇的。吉爾泰勒就是個激勵的好典型，她是哈佛大學(xué)的神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)學(xué)專家，中風(fēng)后她就失去了行走、閱讀、書寫、交談的能力了，甚至還失憶了。她花了八年的時間復(fù)原，用自己的經(jīng)歷寫了暢銷書，還上了奧普拉的節(jié)目。堅持做一件事，親眼見證自己的變化。

　　2.No one cares about me.

　　沒人關(guān)心我。

　　To accurately say that your family and friends don't care about you would be a very rare situation. Maybe you're being too negative and overlooking the gestures of love they show you. They don't even have to be big gestures, but it's the little things they do for you that count. And people may be reacting to the energy you're putting out; perhaps you think they don't care about you so you don't make any effort in your relationships. Start showing people you care, so they can show you back in kind. And if you don't have good relationships with the people you know, what's stopping you from making new friends?

　　家人朋友都不關(guān)心你，這種情況其實不太常見�？赡苣氵^于消極的想法使你忽略了他們對你表達的愛。他們甚至并不需要為你做什么驚天動地的大事，正是一些小事才真正打動人心�；蛘吣阌X得沒人關(guān)心你，所以無需再經(jīng)營人際關(guān)系，但其實也許人們只有在感知到你的付出后，才會對你進行回報；關(guān)心別人，別人才會關(guān)心你。如果你和周圍人的關(guān)系處理不好，為何不結(jié)交些新朋友？

　　3.I really dislike this person.

　　我真的不喜歡這個人。

　　If you dislike a person in your work or personal life, focusing on her bad qualities is not going to make things better. You need to let go of your assumptions about her and know that she is human too, which means she makes mistakes. Either you move on and stop thinking and talking about her, or learn to approach her or think about her in a positive manner. Focus on her good qualities, and repeat them to yourself instead of honing in on the unpleasant things.

　　如果工作或生活中有你討厭的人，只關(guān)注她的缺點有害無益。你需要放下對她的所有成見，告訴自己她也是個人，也有犯錯的時候。要么就不再談?wù)撍�和想著她，要么學(xué)著去接近她，或想想她好的一面。多想想她的優(yōu)點，不要再專注于讓你不開心的事情。

　　4.Why is she better off?

　　為什么她比我好？

　　Comparing yourself to someone else is never productive or positive. There's always going to be someone who is younger, prettier, smarter, or richer than you. If you keep coveting what someone else has, then this may cause you to be resentful of them, which will open a whole other negative can of worms. Remember, what they don't have is your whole package. Be appreciative of what you have, because if you want to play the comparison game, remember that there are people who are also worse off than you are.

　　和別人比較永遠不是有效率和積極的表現(xiàn)。總有比你年輕，漂亮，聰明，富有的人。如果你始終關(guān)注別人擁有什么，會帶來你對他們的恨意，隨即帶來更多消極的想法。記住，你所擁有的也是他們所沒有的。珍惜你所擁有的東西，如果真的`想和別人比較，也別忘了總有比你差的人。

　　5.I'll never reach my goal.

　　我永遠無法達到目標(biāo)。

　　If you think you're not going to be able "get there," think again. There are many people who are worse off and have overcome bigger obstacles than what you are facing. Take, for example, Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, an amputee who overcame his handicap to compete in the Olympics against his able-bodied peers. Everything is within your reach as long as you work hard and have a a positive attitude.

　　如果你認(rèn)為自己達不到，再想想。比你差的人比比皆是，他們遇到的困難也比你的更大。比如，奧運會短跑選手刀鋒戰(zhàn)士奧斯卡·皮斯托利斯，一個被截肢的運動員，戰(zhàn)勝了自己的阻礙，在其他健壯的對手中脫穎而出贏得了奧運會的冠軍。只要你努力付出，有著積極的信念，任何事都能夠做到。

英語勵志文章5

　　Roll Away the Stone

　　推開石頭

　　I enjoy life because I am endlessly interested in people and their growth. My interest leads me to widen my knowledge of people, and this in turn compels me to believe in the common goodness of mankind. I believe that the normal human heart is born good. That is, it’s born sensitive and feeling, eager to be approved and to approve, hungry for simple happiness and the chance to live. It neither wishes to be killed, nor to kill. If through circumstances, it is overcome by evil, it never becomes entirely evil. There remain in it elements of good, however recessive, which continue to hold the possibility ofrestoration.

　　生活讓我感到快樂，因為我對人、對人類的發(fā)展有無窮無盡的興趣。這一興趣使我不停地了解更多的人，而對人的深入了解則促使我相信人之初，性本善。也就是說人生來就善解人意，有同情心，熱望被人認(rèn)同，也認(rèn)同他人，渴望單純的幸福和生存的機會。人不希望被人殺害也不希望去殺害被人。即使邪念因境而生，人也不會完全被邪念所左右。人總有其美好的一面，無論如何退化變質(zhì)，總有棄惡從善的可能。

　　I believe in human beings, but my faith is without sentimentality. I know that in environments of uncertainty, fear, and hunger, the human being is dwarfed and shaped without his being aware of it, just as the plant struggling under a stone does not know its own condition. Only when the stone is removed can it spring up freely into the light. But the power to spring up is inherent, and only death puts an end to it. I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in human beings.

　　我相信人類，但我的信念絕非是濫施情感。我知道，處于饑餓、恐懼、無法預(yù)測未來的環(huán)境中，人類沒有意識到他們的發(fā)展遇到了很大的阻力，正如石頭下的植物掙扎著生長卻不知道自己被石頭壓住了一樣。只有推開了石頭，植物才能自由地、蓬勃地在陽光下生長。但是，蓬勃生長的力量是植物固有的`，只有死亡才能奪去它們的這種力量。

　　Life Confucius of old, I am absorbed in the wonder of earth, and the life upon it, and I cannot think of heaven and the angels. I have enough for this life. If there is no other life, than this one has been enough to make it worth being born, myself a human being. With so profound a faith in the human heart and its power to grow toward the light, I find here reason and cause enough for hope and confidence in the future of mankind. The common sense of people will surely prove to them someday that mutual support and cooperation are only sensible for the security and happiness of all. Such faith keeps me continually ready and purposeful with energy to do what one person can towards shaping the environment in which the human being can grow with freedom. This environment, I believe, is based upon the necessity for security and friendship.

　　如同古代的孔夫子一樣，我深深地沉醉于奇妙的大地和美好的塵世生活之中，不可能再去暢想什么天堂和天使。此生我活得充實。如果沒有來世，今世也足以值得我為它誕生，不枉為一世人。對人心之善及其向往光明之力的堅定信念使我對人類的未來充滿希望和信心。人類的常識一定在未來的某一天向他們證明，互相支持與合作只會對全人類的安全和幸福有實際意義。這種信念使我精力充沛、盡我所能去營造人類能自由發(fā)展的環(huán)境且樂此不疲。營造這個環(huán)境，我相信，是以安全和友誼為必要前提的。

　　I take heart in a promising fact that the world contains food supplies sufficient for the entire earth population. Our knowledge of medical science is already sufficient to improve the health of the whole human race. Our resources and education, if administered on a world scale, can lift the intelligence of the race. All that remains is to discover how to administer upon a world scale, the benefits which some of us already have. In other words, to return to my simile, the stone must be rolled away. This too can be done, as a sufficient number of human beings come to have faith in themselves and in each other. Not all will have such faith at the same moment, but there is a growing number who have the faith.

　　我對未來充滿信心：世界的食物能供養(yǎng)人類;我們的醫(yī)學(xué)知識足以改善人類的健康狀況;我們的教育資源，若在世界范圍內(nèi)統(tǒng)一管理，能提高各種族的智力;我們只需去發(fā)現(xiàn)如何在世界范圍內(nèi)管理我們已經(jīng)擁有的資源。換言之，用我剛提到的明喻來表示，石頭必須推開。這也是能做到的。因為我們相當(dāng)多的人已逐漸樹立了對自己的信念，彼此也相互信任。雖然并不是所有的人在同一時刻具備這種信念，但具備這種信念的人數(shù)在不斷增加。

　　Half a century ago, no one had thought of world food, world health, world education. Many are thinking today of these things. In the midst of possible world war, of wholesale destruction, I find my only question this: are there enough people now who believe? Is there time enough left for the wise to act? It is a contest between ignorance and death, or wisdom and life. My faith in humanity stands firm.

　　半個世紀(jì)以前，沒有人關(guān)注世界的食品問題、健康問題和教育問題。今天就有許多人想到這些了。在可能發(fā)生的世界戰(zhàn)爭中，在大規(guī)模的毀滅過程中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我唯一的疑問是：有足夠多的人樹立了信仰嗎?有足夠的時間讓智者采取行動嗎?這是無知與死亡之間或是智慧與生命之間的較量。我對人類的這種信念堅定不移。

英語勵志文章6

　　Youth

　　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 exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.nobody grows merely by the number of years; we grow old by deserting our ideas. 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.

　　Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, 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 infinite, so long as you are young.

　　When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

　　Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. 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. These are what I have and what we have at this period of life. So, I'm still young, yes, definitely ! Come on my fellow friends, show your energy and passion to this god damn world ! Let the universe hear our voice, see our cheek, hug our enthusiasm and witness our maturity. We're going to create a brand new future !

　　年輕

　　塞繆爾·厄爾曼

　　年輕，并非人生旅程的一段時光，也并非粉頰紅唇和體魄的矯健。

　　它是心靈中的一種狀態(tài)，是頭腦中的一個意念，是理性思維中的創(chuàng)造潛力，是情感活動中的一股勃勃的朝氣，是人生春色深處的一縷東風(fēng)。

　　年輕，意味著甘愿放棄溫馨浪漫的愛情去闖蕩生活，意味著超越羞澀、怯懦和欲望的膽識與氣質(zhì)。而60歲的男人可能比20歲的小伙子更多地擁有這種膽識與氣質(zhì)。沒有人僅僅因為時光的流逝而變得衰老，只是隨著理想的毀滅，人類才出現(xiàn)了老人。

　　歲月可以在皮膚上留下皺紋，卻無法為靈魂刻上一絲痕跡。憂慮、恐懼、缺乏自信才使人佝僂于時間塵埃之中。

　　無論是60歲還是16歲，每個人都會被未來所吸引，都會對人生競爭中的歡樂懷著孩子般無窮無盡的渴望。

　　在你我心靈的深處，同樣有一個無線電臺，只要它不停地從人群中，從無限的時間中接受美好、希望、歡欣、勇氣和力量的'信息，你我就永遠年輕。一旦這無線電臺坍塌，你的心便會被玩世不恭和悲觀失望的寒冷酷雪所覆蓋，你便衰老了——即使你只有20歲。但如果這無線電臺始終矗立在你心中，捕捉著每個樂觀向上的電波，你便有希望超過年輕的80歲。

　　所以只要勇于有夢，敢于追夢，勤于圓夢，我們就永遠年輕!

　　千萬不要動不動就說自己老了，錯誤引導(dǎo)自己!年輕就是力量，有夢就有未來!

英語勵志文章8

　　If you want to be successful in life, you’ll need to be purposeful and proactive in reaching your goals. Success doesn’t happen by accident. Instead, it takes commitment to become successful. Keep these things in mind to help keep you on track during your journey to success.

　　如果你想要成功的人生，你需要在奮斗目標(biāo)上有目的性和主動性。成功并不是意外機遇，相反成功需要付出。在追逐成功的路上要記住這15個要點。

　　1. Remember Your Accomplishments

　　要記住自己所取得的成就

　　On days when you want to give up or feel like you can’t ever get there, it’s especially important to remember your accomplishments. Acknowledge the goals you’ve reached, and use your past successes to fuel your motivation to reach the rest of your goals.

　　在你想放棄的日子或感覺自己無法達到目標(biāo)時，記住自己所取得的成就這點很重要。認(rèn)清你所要達到的目標(biāo)，用以往的成功激勵自己達到剩下的目標(biāo)。

　　2. Remember to Plan Ahead

　　記住要提前規(guī)劃

　　Success doesn’t come easy. There are always going to be bumps in the road and obstacles along the way. It’s important to plan ahead and take a proactive approach in dealing with barriers.

　　成功來之不易。成功之路總免不了有磕磕碰碰、障礙重重。提前規(guī)劃并在處理重重障礙上采取積極主動的方法，同樣很重要。

　　3. Remember to Do What You Love

　　記住要做自己愛做的事情

　　When you’re doing what you love, it won’t feel like work. Instead, it will feel like it is what you are meant to do in life. This can help you to remain energetic and passionate about your goals.

　　你在做著自己愛做的事情時，感覺不到自己是在工作。反而感覺自己在做著對人生有意義的大事情。這有助于你對自己要達到的奮斗目標(biāo)保持精力充沛和充滿熱情的狀態(tài)。

　　4. Remember That You May Fail

　　要記住你會失敗

　　Most successful people in life experience many failures along the way. Not all of the risks you take will turn out well. Be prepared to fail sometimes.

　　多數(shù)成功人士都經(jīng)歷過失敗的人生體驗，并非一切冒險都能成功。有時要做好失敗的準(zhǔn)備。

　　5. Remember to Learn From Your Mistakes

　　記住要從錯誤中吸取經(jīng)驗教訓(xùn)

　　When you fail, it’s important to learn from your mistakes. Identifying what you can do differently next time can help you reach your goals.

　　失敗時要從錯誤中吸取經(jīng)驗教訓(xùn)。認(rèn)識到自己下次該怎么做才有助于你達到自己的奮斗目標(biāo)。

　　如果你想成功，你應(yīng)該做好面對最壞的狀況的準(zhǔn)備。認(rèn)清潛在的最差情況和最壞結(jié)果，這有助于確保自己只對心中有數(shù)的風(fēng)險進行嘗試。

　　7. Remember to Be Productive with Your Time

　　記住要在時間的`利用上保持高效

　　Being lazy won’t get you to where you want to be. If you want to be successful, you need to budget your time wisely. Learn strategies to be productive and you’ll improve your chances of reaching your goals.

　　懶惰并不會達到自己的奮斗目標(biāo)。如果你想成功，就需要你在時間的利用上做到精打細算。學(xué)會采取高效戰(zhàn)略，并完善自己的方法來達到奮斗目標(biāo)。

　　8. Remember to Set Goals

　　記著要設(shè)定目標(biāo)

　　If you aren’t sure where you going, you’ll never get there. Define clear goals for yourself so you have something to work on steadily. Create both short and long-term goals that you want to meet.

　　如果對自己的奮斗方向不夠明確，你就不會實現(xiàn)目標(biāo)。明確自己的目標(biāo)，這樣你就會穩(wěn)步向前。為自己設(shè)定近期目標(biāo)和長遠目標(biāo)。

　　9. Remember to Practice Self-Discipline

　　記住要養(yǎng)成自律的習(xí)慣

　　If you want success, you’ll need to be self-disciplined. There will be things in life you have to give up in order to reach your goals. You might not be able to do all the things you want, spend as much money you want, or spend your time the way you want. Instead, you’ll need to forgo immediate gratification and keep your eyes on the goal.

　　如果你想成功，你需要自律。為了達到目標(biāo)，人生中有些事情不得已只能放棄�；蛟S你無法做自己想做的事情，自己想花多少錢就花多少錢，或者自己掌控時間。相反，你需要放棄當(dāng)前的滿足，把眼睛盯在奮斗目標(biāo)上。

　　10. Remember to Calculate Risk Carefully

　　記住要仔細估算風(fēng)險

　　Unless you review all the potential pros and cons of your choices, you won’t be informed enough to make wise decisions. Risks should be calculated carefully before you jump in. Behaving recklessly or impulsively can ruin your chances of success.

　　對于自己所做出的選擇，除了對其潛在的利弊進行審核分析，我們無法預(yù)知自己所做出的決策是否明智。在你草率或沖動地邁開下一步之前，應(yīng)認(rèn)真估算毀掉你的成功機會的風(fēng)險。

　　11. Remember to Monitor Your Progress

　　記住要監(jiān)視自己的進展

　　You’ll need to monitor your progress if you want to be successful. You’ll need to know how much closer you are getting to reaching your goal so you can make adjustments to your plan as needed.

　　若想成功需要監(jiān)視自己的進展。需要了解自己與奮斗目標(biāo)的距離，這樣才能按照計劃所需做出調(diào)整。

　　12. Remember to Communicate Effectively

　　記住要做有效的溝通交流

　　Successful people are able to communicate effectively with others. Whether they’re asking for help, delegating a task, or teaching others, successful people are able to get their point across in a manner that inspires others.

　　成功人士能與別人能做到有效交流。無論是他們需要幫助或是委派一項任務(wù)抑或是教導(dǎo)別人，成功人士在激勵別人這點上能充分理解其意圖。

　　13. Remember to Believe in Yourself

　　記住要相信自己

　　If you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will either. You’ll need to have confidence and courage to reach success because you’ll likely meet people who don’t believe in you along the way.

　　如果你不相信自己，別人也不會相信你。你需要有自信并鼓勵自己取得成功，因為你很可能會遇到不信任自己的人。

　　14. Remember to Embrace Change

　　記住要去抓住機會

　　We live in a fast-paced world where things are constantly changing. If you resist change, you might get left behind. Remain flexible and be willing to embrace change.

　　我們生活在快節(jié)奏的世界中，世事變化無常。如果你跟不上變化的步伐，你可能就會落在后面。要記著靈活應(yīng)變，愿意抓住時機。

　　15. Remember to Ask for Help

　　記著要尋求幫助

　　Successful people aren’t afraid to ask others for help. Don’t be afraid to seek help from loving, wise, and caring people.

　　成功人士不怕向他人尋求幫助。不要怕向有愛的人、聰明的人、有關(guān)愛之心的人尋求幫助。

　　2.嶄新的一天

　　The sun has begun to set and I hang up the smile I’ve worn all day, though I will make sure it is the first thing I put back on in the morning just in case it is “that day.” I want her to see me at my very best.

　　太陽將要下山，我收起掛了一天的微笑，不過我會確保明天早上第一件事就是將它又掛回去，以防這天就是“那一天”。我希望她看到我的最佳狀態(tài)。

　　I do the normal routine, eat dinner, clean the house, write—the usual stuff. And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A new day with a brand new sun. But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker, and then often that snicker will turn into a burst of laughter.

　　我按平時的規(guī)律吃晚餐、打掃屋子、寫作——做著日常事務(wù)。然后我躺下，希望能快點入睡，新的一天就能快點到來——擁有新生太陽的嶄新的一天�？僧�(dāng)我躺在那兒，等待著世界的日夜回轉(zhuǎn)時，我想到了她。有時我會笑起來，有時那微笑變成了竊笑，然后竊笑又常常變成爆笑。

　　And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle. Then somehow through either the joy or the sadness I drift and find myself asleep. Then the dreams begin and keep me company until my new day arrives.

　　也有些時候，我的喉嚨像是被一塊東西哽住了，胸口發(fā)悶；有時那種傷感席卷而來，我開始流淚，眼淚常常越流越多，我再也無力抵抗悲傷，敗下陣來。然后不知怎的，我在或喜悅或悲傷中飄蕩，逐漸入眠。然后夢境開始伴我左右，直至新的一天到來。

　　When I awake it’s with such excitement because I tell myself this could be the day that every other day has led up to and the first day of the rest of my life. I quickly don my smile because I do so want her to see me at my very best. Then I look out the window because, even though I know it’s dawn, I still have to confirm I’ve been given another chance to find her.

　　醒來時，我興奮不已，因為我告訴自己今天也許就是之前其他日子為之打下基礎(chǔ)的“那一天”，是我余生的第一天。我迅速掛上微笑，因為我真的很想讓她看到我的最佳狀態(tài)。然后我朝窗外看去，因為即使我知道現(xiàn)在才剛剛破曉，我仍得確定自己可以與她再次邂逅。

　　And there it is…the sun, even when it’s cloudy; somehow I still see it. And it smiles at me and I say, “Thank you,” and I smile back.

　　它在那里……太陽，雖然還是云霧重重，但我還是看到它了。它朝我微笑，我道了聲“謝謝”，回以一笑。

　　Then I ask myself, “Is this the day?” And the excitement rushes over me again. And then I ask myself, “Where’s it going to be?”

　　然后我問自己：“今天就是那一天嗎？”興奮之情再次充溢全身。然后我問自己：“它會在哪里呢？”

　　Maybe it’ll be at the water fountain, and, unexpectedly, there I’ll find her, and much more than my thirst will be quenched. Maybe it’ll be at the grocery store and there she’ll appear as I’m picking out fruit, and she’ll show me the difference between fresh and spoiled. Then, from that moment, nothing that I eat will ever taste the same because she’ll bring out the simplest beauties in everything I see, taste, smell, hear, or touch.

　　也許它會藏在飲水機里，沒想到我真能在那里找到她，為我生津止渴，取之不盡。也許它會躲在雜貨店里，我拿起水果的時候，她就出現(xiàn)了，她會給我展示新鮮和變質(zhì)的不同。然后，從那一刻開始，我所嘗到的一切味道不再一樣，因為但凡我看到的、嘗到的、聞到的、聽到的或摸到的東西，她都帶出了它們最簡單的美麗。

　　Or maybe today will be the day when my angel brings an item up to the cash register without its price tag. And as I wait behind this angel with all the frustrated people who are in such a hurry with their busy lives, I will find myself with such blessed extra time. Just enough time to start a conversation with this beautiful vision standing in front of me that I might not otherwise have noticed, but, because of a “price check on register 5,” I was able to find her.

　　或許就在今天，我的.天使把一件沒有價格標(biāo)簽的商品拿到收銀臺。我在天使身后排隊，看著身心疲憊的人們忙忙碌碌地過日子，慶幸自己得到了這樣的額外時間，讓我可以和面前的倩影閑聊一會兒，否則我也許會錯過，但只因為一句“請到5號收銀臺付款”，我就能找到她。

　　Thank you for the sun, which began my new day. Thank you for granting me the faith when I arose this morning that I would find her in this new day. But most of all, thank you for me not having to ever wait on another sunrise because whenever I want to see it, I will look at her and there it shall always be, in her eyes; she will forever hold it for me.

　　感謝太陽，它是新一天的開始。感謝你讓我今早一起床就滿懷信心，知道自己能在這新的一天找到她。但最要感謝的是我不必再等下一個日出，因為無論我想何時看到它，我都可以看向她，它總會出現(xiàn)在她的雙眸里；她永遠為我留著。

　　She is my sunrise, my dawn, my new day.

　　她是我的日出，我的黎明，我嶄新的一天。

　　3.趕走內(nèi)心消極的聲音

　　The mind is a powerful thing, and in a nanosecond, it can elevate or crush our mood. There’s a real problem when we start buying into the negative thoughts we have about ourselves。

　　我們的內(nèi)心非常強大，在一瞬間就會提升或毀掉我們的心情。而真正的問題在于，如何將內(nèi)心深處那些消極想法通通趕出去。

　　Many of us have problems with negative thoughts playing on the channel of our minds, but if you’re engaging in it consistently, and you believe it, it could be eroding your sense of self-esteem. Here are a few beliefs that indicate you may need to switch the station:

　　很多人腦海中都會不斷浮現(xiàn)消極的想法，更糟糕的是，如果你真的時不時地去想，你就會信以為真，這足以摧毀你的自尊。如果你也會出現(xiàn)下面這些消極觀念，那就代表你應(yīng)該做點改變了。

　　I’m a loser. 我是個失敗者。

　　I’m not good enough. 我不夠好。

　　I don’t deserve…. 我不配....。.

　　No one likes me. 沒人喜歡我。

　　I suck at relationships. 我不會處理感情。

　　I’m a failure. 我太失敗了。

　　Negative thoughts conjures up bad feelings and hooks you into believing that what those old tapes in your head are playing is actually true. In short, it brings your focus to your failures, and that gets you nowhere。

　　消極的想法會帶來不好的感受，在那腦海中不斷的像老式磁帶一般重復(fù)，也會讓你信以為真。簡而言之，這會讓你把注意力全部放在失敗的事情上，會讓你徹底迷失自己。

　　What can you do? Here are some suggestions:你能做些什么呢？下面是一些建議：

　　1. Live in the moment活在當(dāng)下

　　Self-talk is so subtle that we often don’t notice its effect on our mood and belief systems. Key things to notice are “if only or “what if” statements: the former keep you stuck in the past with regret, while the latter keep you fearful of the future. There is nothing you can do about the past, and the future isn’t here yet, so stay in the present moment。

　　內(nèi)心的聲音太微妙，有時我們根本不會注意到他們對情緒和信念產(chǎn)生的影響。最需要注意的就是“要是....。.多好” 和“假使....。.將會怎樣” 這樣的想法：前者會讓你陷入對過去無盡的悔恨，后者會讓你對未來充滿恐懼。對于過去，你無能為力，而未來還未到來，好好活在當(dāng)下吧。

　　2. Visualize the good things讓那些美好變得形象生動

　　If we want to change the negative tapes playing in our heads, we have to visualize ourselves positively—that means seeing yourself non-judgmentally. Picture accepting yourself. How would that look? Draw a picture in your mind and expand on it。

　　如果要換掉腦海中不斷播放的消極磁帶，我們就要看到自己身上積極的一面，也就是說不帶評判的看看自己。在內(nèi)心細細描述客觀接受自己會是什么的畫面。細細畫出心中所想，那會是什么樣？

　　3. Recognize that actions always follow beliefs要認(rèn)識到行為由信念指引

　　Whatever you believe, you’ll experience more of, and you’ll also find yourself behaving in ways that are congruent with your beliefs. So, start believing the best about yourself: act as if you believe that you’re a valuable and worthy person。

　　不管你是否相信，你以后的人生會經(jīng)歷更多，也會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的行為和信念是相輔相成的。所以要開始相信自己最好的一面：相信自己是一個有價值的人，然后開始行動吧。

　　4. Pay attention to triggers留神那些“導(dǎo)火索”

　　Triggers are anything that can start the old tapes playing. If a certain person is a trigger for you, set boundaries with them。導(dǎo)火索可以使任何讓腦海中消極磁帶播放的人。如果某個人是你的導(dǎo)火索，那么就遠離他們。

　　5. Develop positive counterstatements to refute negative self-talk積極反駁內(nèi)心那些消極的'聲音

　　Instead of always putting yourself down in your head, think of some things you actually like about yourself. What are your strengths, what are you good at? Keep your counterstatements in the here-and-now, instead of saying “I’m not good enough” try saying, “I am capable. I’m good at ______. I accept myself the way I am�！�

　　與其在腦海中一味的打壓自己，還不如想想你到底喜歡自己什么樣子。你的強項是什么，特長是什么？與其說“我不夠好”，不如現(xiàn)在就開始說這句正能量的話語：“我有能力，我擅長....，我喜歡現(xiàn)在的自己�！�

　　Thinking poorly about ourselves gets us nowhere and is extremely self-limiting. Decide today to turn off the negative self-talk channel in your mind and develop your true potential。

　　妄自菲薄只會讓自己迷失方向，同時限制自身發(fā)展。從今天開始就關(guān)掉內(nèi)心的消極頻道，挖掘自身的潛力吧。

　　4.痛苦是了解自己的最好機會

　　當(dāng)你失去了內(nèi)心的堅持，便失去了自己。當(dāng)你失去了自己，世界也會把你遺忘。對我來說，每分鐘都是那么美好。而且每當(dāng)我看到別人的笑容，都會在心中深深感恩。

　　1. When you lose touch with your inner stillness, you lose touch with yourself. When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.

　　1. 當(dāng)你失去了內(nèi)心的堅持，便失去了自己。當(dāng)你失去了自己，世界也會把你遺忘。

　　2. The giving of love is an education in itself.

　　2. 給予別人關(guān)愛是一種教育。

　　3. The purpose of life, is to love it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.

　　3. 人生的目標(biāo)，是熱愛生活，嘗盡世間百態(tài)，熱情接觸新事物以及不懼更新更豐富的經(jīng)歷。

　　4. For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I meet someone and look at his or her smile.

　　4. 對我來說，每分鐘都是那么美好。而且每當(dāng)我看到別人的笑容，都會在心中深深感恩。

　　5. The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

　　5. 靈魂應(yīng)該始終整裝待發(fā)，準(zhǔn)備好接受奇妙的經(jīng)歷。

　　6. I know of no greater happiness than to be with you all the time, without interruption, without end.

　　6. 我所知的最幸福的事，就是能整日與你在一起，沒有打擾，沒有終局。

　　7. When the deepest part of you becomes engaged in what you are doing, when your activities and actions become gratifying and purposeful, when what you do serves both yourself and others, you are doing what you were meant to be doing.

　　7. 當(dāng)內(nèi)心的最深處真正融入你正在做的事，當(dāng)你的行動變得令人滿意、目標(biāo)明確，當(dāng)你做的事利己利人，那你正在做命中注定的事了。

　　8. Your pain is an opportunity for you to learn about yourself.

　　8. 痛苦是一個了解你自己的機會。

　　9. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.

　　9. 能在這個世界上獲得成功的`人是早晨起床后尋找他們想要的機遇，如果他們找不到的話，就自己創(chuàng)造。

　　10. A good time to laugh is anytime you can.

　　10. 什么時候是歡笑的好時候，任何時候。

　　5.逼自己一把，你會知道自己很強大

　　How strong are you?

　　你有多強大？

　　That is a tough question to answer, whether you are a man or a woman.

　　不管你是男人還是女人，這都是個很難回答的問題。

　　But, really, I want to ask… how do you define your strength?

　　但是，說實話，我想知道，你是怎么定義力量的呢？

　　How do you know your limits? How do you know just how much you’ve got?

　　你是如何了解自己的局限性？你怎么知道你能做到什么程度？

　　When push comes to shove, we often discover that we are much stronger than we think.

　　當(dāng)壓力來臨時，我們會發(fā)現(xiàn)我們比想象中要更強大。

　　What is Strength?

　　什么是力量？

　　Strength is not always about pure physical strength. Rather, it is about willpower. Discipline. Drive. It is about the capacity to get things done.

　　力量并不僅僅指你的肌肉力量，它更多的指的是意志力、訓(xùn)練、動力。是一種能夠做好事情的能力。

　　I know some people who are intellectually strong, but they get very little done in their jobs. And I know others who find work extremely challenging, but are able to move mountains by their sheer drive and hard work.

　　我知道有一些人雖然很聰明，但是他們在工作中能夠做好的事情卻很少。而另外一些人雖然知道工作很具有挑戰(zhàn)性，但他們?nèi)阅芡ㄟ^強大的動力和艱苦的工作來移動大山。

　　They possess inner strength.

　　他們具有強大的內(nèi)心力量。

　　More interesting, is that these productive hard-workers often don’t even notice the load. Bystanders are not only amazed, but often ask, “How do you do it?”

　　更有趣的是，這些非常努力工作的人并沒有意識到工作量的巨大。旁觀者不僅感到很吃驚，而且還經(jīng)常問，“你是怎么做到的？”

　　The answer usually comes back, “I just work harder than the others.”

　　經(jīng)常得到這樣的回答，“我只是比別人更努力一些罷了。”

　　So, why are some people able to do more? What gives them added drive? What gives them extra strength?

　　所以，為什么有些人就能做到更多？他們的動力是哪里來的呢？是誰給予他們多余的力量？

　　Could it be, they have simply given themselves permission to do more?

　　還是，僅僅是他們自己給自己力量來做到更多？

　　Self-Imposed Limits

　　自我強加的局限性

　　What I have observed is that most people impose their own limits. They limit their output based on self-framed constraints of their capabilities and strengths. Sometimes these boundaries are based on past experiences. Sometimes they are based on perceived capacities. Sometimes these limits are based on nothing.

　　據(jù)我所觀察，很多人都是自己強加給自己的'局限性。他們有時候根據(jù)能力和力量自我設(shè)定了他們的局限，有時候根據(jù)過去的經(jīng)歷設(shè)定一些邊界，還有的根據(jù)想象中的能力設(shè)定，還有些則毫無任何根據(jù)就限定了自己的力量。

　　I can’t do that. (Why?)

　　我做不到。（為什么呢？）

　　That is too much for me. (How do you know?)

　　對我來說太難了。（你怎么知道太難？）

　　I can’t put in that much effort. (What would happen if you did?)

　　我做不到那么努力。（如果你做了會怎么樣？）

　　I am not smart enough to solve that. (Can you be sure if you haven’t tried?)

　　我不夠聰明，解決不了這件事。（你不嘗試怎么能如此確定？）

　　So, how do we break through these limits? How do we get stronger?

　　所以，怎樣才能打破這些局限？怎么才能更強大？

　　Pushing It…

　　給自己點壓力

　　Many people are going through the motions, but are nowhere near their limits.

　　很多人都做出了實際行動，但是從來就沒有到達他們的極限。

　　If you want to be stronger, you have to push your boundaries.

　　如果你想變得更加強大，你就要打破你的局限。

　　Pushing it is what it takes to increase your limits. In the gym, bodybuilders discovered this long ago. But, the same principle is true when it comes to inner strength. Discipline and drive.

　　給自己施加壓力就能提高你的極限。在體育館，健身者很早之前就體會到了這一點。所以，同樣的原則運用到內(nèi)心力量方面也是正確的，訓(xùn)練自己，給自己一些動力。

　　Want to test your limits? Push yourself. Test your self-perceived constraints to see how accurate they are. Make sure your goals are slightly beyond what you think can be achieved.

　　你想挑戰(zhàn)你的極限嗎？那就給自己點壓力。去測試下自己以前的極限到底有多準(zhǔn)確。要確定一個能稍微超過力所能及的目標(biāo)。

　　You Are Stronger Than You Think

　　你比自己想象的要強大

　　Most people underestimate their strength.

　　很多人低估了自己的能力。

　　As you go through your day, challenge your capacity. Test your limits.

　　當(dāng)你過每一天的時候，都要挑戰(zhàn)一下你的能力，測試下自己的極限。

　　Push yourself, to find your true boundaries and define your strength.

　　給自己施加點壓力，找到你真正的極限，然后定義你的能力。

　　When you discover how much you’ve really got, you may surprise even yourself.

　　當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)你真正能獲取的，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己都感到不可思議。

　　What are your self-imposed limits? Which do you need to push? When have you found that you were much stronger than you thought?

　　你給自己強加的限制是什么？哪一方面需要你增加壓力呢？到什么時候你會發(fā)現(xiàn)你比想象中要強大呢？

　　6.年輕時要做的十件事

　　1. Make yourself a priority

　　優(yōu)先考慮自己

　　If you don’t take care of yourself, nobody else will. You have to be number one. All things in your life stem from your happiness. Be someone who makes you happy!

　　如果自己不照顧好自己，別人就更指望不上了。把自己放在首位。生活中一切因你的快樂而存在。做個為自己的快樂而生的人吧！

　　2. Enjoy the small things

　　享受生活中的那些小事

　　Take walks more often. Stop and look at a babbling brook. Sit in an oversized chair at Barnes & Noble and read a great book. Observe an elderly couple holding hands. Life is made up of these small and seemingly insignificant things. They aren’t insignificant. Be sure to take the time to appreciate them.

　　多散步。因潺潺流水而駐足；閑坐在巴諾書店的大號椅子上讀本好書；觀察一對手挽手的'老夫婦；生活就是一連串看似微不足道的瑣事。它們雖不起眼，但一定要抽出時間去欣賞。

　　3. Get outside

　　留戀戶外

　　Being outdoors is good for you. Soak in the sunlight, get those endorphins kicking, and enjoy the beauty that nature offers.

　　戶外活動有益身心。沐浴陽光下，激活內(nèi)啡肽，享受自然的美。

　　4. Be confident in who you are

　　對自己要有自信

　　Every person is unique and special in their own way. Understanding this early in life is critical. Be proud of who you are and don’t be afraid to let the world know it.

　　每個人都與眾不同。年輕時，清楚這一點至關(guān)重要。為自己感到驕傲，而且要勇敢地讓世界知道這一點。

　　5. Take calculated risks

　　承擔(dān)可估算的風(fēng)險

　　Life is a series of risks and rewards. Be smart with your risks and understand the consequences.

　　生活伴隨著風(fēng)險與回報。在風(fēng)險面前保持警醒，并有勇氣承擔(dān)后果。

　　6. Focus on the present

　　關(guān)注當(dāng)下

　　Worrying to a certain degree about your future is normal, but don’t overlook the power of being in the present moment. You can’t change the past, but you can control what you do right now.

　　對未來有些擔(dān)心很正常，但不要忽視活在當(dāng)下的能量。你無力改變過去，但現(xiàn)在卻由你掌控。

　　7. Stop caring about what people think of you

　　別在意別人對你的看法

　　Fear of criticism is one of the most destructive fears known to humanity. It can debilitate you to the point paralysis. Learn early in life that it doesn’t matter what people think of you. It really doesn’t. And besides, people are too worried about what you think about them to care about you!

　　對人類來說，擔(dān)心受指責(zé)是最具毀滅性的恐懼之一。它會使你脆弱得不堪一擊。年輕時就要懂得，人們怎么看你無關(guān)緊要。的確如此。另外，人們過于擔(dān)心你對他們的看法而無暇顧及你。

　　年輕時就要養(yǎng)成積極向上的習(xí)慣。生活成敗取決于思想，而思想有積極和消極之分。只有你是自己思想的主宰。

　　10. Let go of negative influences

　　遠離負面影響

　　Avoid bad situations, unhealthy relationships, and people who make your life worse. Letting go of a good friend who is going to drag you down is a difficult yet intelligent decision. Failure to do so can negatively affect where you end up in life.

　　避開困境、不健康的關(guān)系和那些攪擾你生活的人。對使你止步不前的好朋友說再見雖難卻是明智之舉。如果不忍割舍，那只會讓你的生活變得一團糟。

　　7.勇敢跳出舒適區(qū)

　　There’s this famous quote that can spark an interest to challenge yourself within you:

　　下面這句名言或許能激發(fā)你挑戰(zhàn)自我的興趣：

　　“If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you.” Unknown

　　“如果你做的事情毫無挑戰(zhàn)，那么你也將毫無改變。”——無名氏

　　Of course, since every one of us has room for improvement, this can also mean if you don’t change yourself, then you can’t be responsible for changing your situation in life. You can never see any improvement in your life if you stick to your comfort zone. We all need a healthy dose of normal stress in our lives, after all. We can only see what we’re really capable of if we make the effort to go over our pre-conceived limits. Don’t limit the challenges you encounter in life - challenge the limits that your “l(fā)izard brain” crafted instead:

　　當(dāng)然，每個人都有提高的空間。這也表示，如果不改變自己，你也就無法改變你的生活境況。如果沉溺在舒適區(qū)，你永遠也不會看到生活有所改觀。要知道，生活中我們都需要適量的正常壓力。只有努力戰(zhàn)勝預(yù)想的極限，我們才能發(fā)現(xiàn)自己真正擅長什么。不要限制生活中遇到的挑戰(zhàn)——而應(yīng)挑戰(zhàn)大腦設(shè)定的各種極限。

　　1. Learn a new language.

　　學(xué)一門新語言。

　　Hangul, Nihonggo, French, Filipino, Mandarin, Spanish: these are just some of the languages you can discover as you strive to challenge yourself. Learning a new language isn’t just another way to pad your resume; if you really get into it, you can even use this skill to tutor on the side and earn extra cash.

　　韓語、日語、法語、菲律賓語、漢語、西班牙語：當(dāng)你準(zhǔn)備挑戰(zhàn)自己時，可以嘗試學(xué)習(xí)這些語言。學(xué)一門新語言并不只是為了豐富簡歷；如果你全心投入，或許還能靠這個技能做家教掙點小錢。

　　2. Figure out what you’re scared of – and do it for one week consistently.

　　弄清自己害怕什么，然后堅持嘗試一周。

　　If you’re in sales, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone, then you have a problem. You can’t just relate with your clients online, can you? Now, instead of crippling in fear and automatically thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call to a prospect. Yes, it’s scary. Yes, you may embarrass yourself. And yes, someone may hang up on you. But don’t stop on the first try just yet! You’ll get the hang of it eventually. After a while, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, “Go on, I’m not scared!”

　　如果你從事銷售工作，卻很害怕跟人當(dāng)面或電話交談，那可就有問題了。你不能只通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)聯(lián)系客戶，對吧？現(xiàn)在，不要再畏縮害怕，不要再不自覺地認(rèn)為會做不好，每天至少花5分鐘拿起電話聯(lián)系某個潛在客戶吧。沒錯，這讓你感到害怕。沒錯，你可能會出糗。而且，也會有人掛斷你的'電話。但是，千萬不要剛嘗試就放棄！因為最后你肯定能做到的。不久，你就能直面恐懼并告訴自己：“來吧，我不怕！”

　　3. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to pursue.

　　報培訓(xùn)班學(xué)習(xí)一直想發(fā)展的愛好。

　　Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and de-stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and graphic designing online.

　　確定這個愛好跟工作無關(guān)；在從事這項愛好時，你必須能夠解壓放松。類似愛好可以是烹飪、縫紉、繪畫或網(wǎng)絡(luò)平面設(shè)計。

　　Aside from helping you challenge yourself now, taking a class for your hobby can also give you extra income if you learn how to monetize it. (You get plus points if you take the class with a loved one. This way, you combine bonding, boosting your income and challenging yourself.)

　　如果你懂一點生財之道的話，參加愛好培訓(xùn)班除了能幫你挑戰(zhàn)自我，還可以為你帶來額外收入。（如果你是和心愛的人一起參加，你不僅能挑戰(zhàn)自我、賺外快，還可以增進彼此感情。）

　　4. Attend one career-related seminar a month.

　　每月參加一場職場類研討會。

　　Don’t settle for your current job position. Aim high in your career. Of course, with that aim, include in your action, too. Book conferences that are relevant to the industry of your profession. There, absorb the lesson. Ask sensible questions. And don’t forget to connect with the attendees and the keynote speakers. Sometimes, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know,” may be a reality.

　　不要滿足于當(dāng)下的職位。將職業(yè)目標(biāo)定高一些。當(dāng)然，除了目標(biāo)，還要拿出行動來。預(yù)定和自己職業(yè)行業(yè)有關(guān)的會議，然后在會上多加學(xué)習(xí)，多提合理問題，并且，別忘了和其他與會者以及重要發(fā)言人保持聯(lián)系。有時候，現(xiàn)實就是“重點不在于你知道什么知識，而在于你認(rèn)識什么人”。

　　5. Make a realistic budget and find out how you can cut back on something so you can invest more.

　　制定合理預(yù)算，想辦法削減某些部分，以便加大對其他方面的投資。

　　Challenge yourself to step out of your current budget and develop a better budget for yourself. Money management is not about what you make – it’s what you do with what you make.

　　挑戰(zhàn)自己拋開現(xiàn)在的預(yù)算，然后制定一個更好的。財務(wù)管理不在于你能掙多少錢，而在于你能用掙到的錢干什么。

　　- So, produce a budget on paper, or in an Microsoft Excel file.

　　所以，在紙上制定一個預(yù)算吧，用Excel也可以。

　　- Identify the item you’ve been spending so much money on.

　　找出自己開銷比較大的方面。

　　- Cut back on that item so you have more money to put in your emergency fund or in your investment fund.

　　然后削減在那方面的開銷，這樣你就有更多錢用來投資到應(yīng)急基金或投資基金里了。

　　6. Dedicate at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.

　　每天至少花9分鐘鍛煉身體。

　　You don’t need to go to the gym, you know. A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood or an intense dance routine done in your living-room can do wonders for yourself. Aside from the obvious reason that exercise can help you maintain your regular weight or shed those unnecessary pounds, it can also aid in making you feel better about yourself by releasing endorphins.

　　要知道，你不一定非去健身館不可。繞著小區(qū)跑步9分鐘或者在臥室集中跳一段熱舞，其實也能幫你維持正常體重或甩掉贅肉，而且還可以通過釋放內(nèi)啡肽讓你感覺良好。

　　7. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.

　　旅行——敞開心胸認(rèn)識新朋友。

　　We’re not talking about the expensive kind of travelling here. Something cost-effective like going to your local museum or visiting the resort in the next city can all count as travelling! Here, don’t just limit yourself to your fellow travelers – try to connect with the service staff, like the lifeguard, or the receptionist, or the tour guide. You never know what kind of people they’re going to be. Get out of your house or go online right now to book your class. Start now and learn to challenge yourself from time to time. We all need a little push once in a while.

　　這里說的不是那種要花大把銀子的旅行。像參觀本地博物館或鄰市旅游景點這種花錢少的方式，也可以稱為旅行！請不要只去認(rèn)識同行的人——試試搭訕一下救生員、接待員或?qū)в蔚确��?wù)人員吧。你永遠不知道自己將會認(rèn)識什么樣的人呢。到外面或在網(wǎng)上報班學(xué)習(xí)吧�，F(xiàn)在就開始學(xué)習(xí)時不時地挑戰(zhàn)自己。我們都需要時不時地推一把。

英語勵志文章9

　　Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny,” the maxim goes.

　　Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.

　　As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.

　　Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.

　　Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply imbedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.

　　Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness and order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.

英語勵志文章10

　　Since his horse refused to go forward, a traveler in the state of Song drove it into a stream, then mounted to set off again. Still the horse refused to go, and he punished it once more in the same way.

　　This happened three times in all.

　　Even the most skilful rider could devise no better means of frightening a horse; but if you are not a rider, simply a bully, your horse will refuse to carry you.

　　宋國有一游歷者的'坐騎不肯前進，他就將它趕進河里，再翻身上馬持續(xù)上路，可馬依然不肯聽命，他又用同樣的方式對馬實行處分。

　　馬一共被罰了三次，可仍是不肯就范。

　　這闡明：即便最好的騎手也會用恫嚇的措施使馬前行，但假使你不是騎手，而是歹徒，你的馬就會謝絕為你服務(wù)。

英語勵志文章11

　　It is curious that our own offenses should seem so much less heinous than the offenses of others. I suppose the reason is that we know all the circumstances that have occasioned them and so manage to excuse in ourselves what we cannot excuse in others. We turn our attention away from our own defects, and when we are forced by untoward events to consider them, find it easy to condone them. For all I know we are right to do this; they are part of us and we must accept the good and bad in ourselves together.

　　But when we come to judge others, it is not by ourselves as we really are that we judge them, but by an image that we have formed of ourselves fro which we have left out everything that offends our vanity or would discredit us in the eyes of the world. To take a trivial instance: how scornful we are when we catch someone out telling a lie; but who can say that he has never told not one, but a hundred?

　　There is not much to choose between men. They are all a hotchpotch of greatness and littleness, of virtue and vice, of nobility and baseness. Some have more strength of character, or more opportunity, and so in one direction or another give their instincts freer play, but potentially they are the same. For my part, I do not think I am any better or any worse than most people, but I know that if I set down every action in my life and every thought that has crossed my mind, the world would consider me a monster of depravity. The knowledge that these reveries are common to all men should inspire one with tolerance to oneself as well as to others. It is well also if they enable us to look upon our fellows, even the most eminent and respectable, with humor, and if they lead us to take ourselves not too seriously.

英語勵志文章12

　　How poor we are我們是多么貧窮

　　One day a rich father took his young son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and night in the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, "how was the trip?"

　　一天，一位富有的父親帶著他的小兒子去鄉(xiāng)下旅行，打算讓他見識一下窮人的生活。他們在一戶非常貧窮人家的農(nóng)場里住了一天一夜。旅行回來之后，父親問兒子：“你覺得這次旅行怎樣?”

　　"Very good, Dad!"

　　“棒極了，爸爸!”

　　"Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked.

　　"你看到窮人的生活了嗎?”父親問道。

　　"Yeah!" "And what did you learn?"

　　“是的!”“那你從中學(xué)到了什么呢?”

　　The son answered, "I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard; they have a whole horizon."

　　兒子回答道：“我看到我們家只有一只狗，而他們家有四只。我們的游泳池一直延伸到花園中間，而他們的.小溪沒有盡頭。我們在花園里裝了進口燈具，而他們有滿天星斗。我們的天井接著前院，而他們擁有整個地平線。”

　　When the little boy was finishing, his father was speechless.

　　當(dāng)小男孩說完的時候，他的父親目瞪口呆。

　　His son added, "Thanks, dad, for showing me how poor we are!"

　　他的兒子接著又補充道：“謝謝爸爸讓我看到我們是多么貧窮!”

　　Isn't it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude toward life, you've got everything!

　　貧富的真意完全取決于你看待事物的角度，難道不是嗎?如果你擁有愛人、朋友、家庭、健康、幽默感和對生活的積極態(tài)度，你就擁有了一切!

英語勵志文章13

　　Dream What You Dream of 做你想做的夢

　　There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

　　When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

　　Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

　　Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

　　做你想做的夢

　　在一生有多少這樣的時刻：我們對一個人朝思暮想，只想一把把他們從夢中拉出來，真切的擁抱一回!

　　一扇通往幸福的門關(guān)閉了，另一扇幸福之門打開了，可有多少次啊，我們徘徊在那扇關(guān)閉的門前，卻忽略了那扇早已為我們開啟的新的幸福之門。

　　不要以貌取人，外貌可能會欺騙你;不要追逐財富，財富會消失的。去尋找那個讓你笑口常開的'人吧，一個微笑就可以使暗淡的日子豁然開朗。去追尋那個令你心靈愉悅的人吧!

　　做你想做的夢，去你想去的地方，成為你想成為的人，因為你只有一次生命和一次機會去做你想做的事情。

英語勵志文章14

　　Life doesn't always give us the joys we want. We don't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don't always get our own way. But don't give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.

　　生活并非總是如你所愿。希望有時會落空，夢想有時會破滅，我們不能一切隨心所愿。但別放棄希望，因為凡事并非一成不變;不同時間，不同場合，你會呈現(xiàn)不同的面貌。

　　Look for the beauty around you-in nature, in others, in yourself-and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind. 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.

　　處處留心你身邊的美麗:自然中的美，他人的美，自己的'美。請相信，美來自朋友、家庭乃至全人類的融融愛意。一個微笑，一雙援助之手，一個關(guān)心的舉動，一句友善的話語，無不傳達著愛。如果你有心去尋找，愛會無處不在。

　　Give love, for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy, happiness, patience and understanding.Believe in the goodness of others and remember that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope.

　　奉獻愛心吧，從中你會發(fā)現(xiàn)生活的力量，感受生活帶來的幸�？鞓�，學(xué)會忍耐和理解。相信人性本善。記住，愛心和希望能化解一切憤怒和沮喪。

　　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.

　　哪怕生活中揮之不去的不快和困難將你重重包圍，讓你力不從心，但你仍可以盡力而為。累積點滴努力，最終你將扭轉(zhuǎn)乾坤。

　　Hope is always available to us. When we feel defeated,we need only take a deep breath and say, "Yes," and hope will reappear.

　　希望一直就在我們身邊。當(dāng)我們遇到挫折時，請深呼一口氣并對自己說:“我可以做到!”希望就在前方。

英語勵志文章15

　　When I was a young boy in Santa Cruz, California I used to help my Grandfather in the fields by his home. This was not his land but back in those days it was not unusual to barter with the neighbours to worked it for them so he could grow the vegetables that he loved. He would then share them with the neighbour for payment. He grew corn, beans, peas, zucchini, cucumbers and garlic. And nobody could grow bigger dahlias than my Grandfather.

　　在我很小的時候，我的祖父家住在加利福尼亞的圣克魯斯城，我常常去祖父家附近的田地里幫他干農(nóng)活。盡管那塊田地是屬于祖父的鄰居，但在那個時候，鄰居之間作實物交易是很常見的，所以祖父也能在那塊田地種上自己喜愛的農(nóng)作物。而作為報酬，在收割時祖父就與鄰居們一同分享果實。祖父通常種植玉米、大豆、豌 豆、南瓜、黃瓜和大蒜。祖父的農(nóng)藝很高超，就連他種的大麗花長得也要比鄰居們種的高大許多。

　　As I worked along side him he used to love to tell this story of a named Giuseppe (Joe) and his wife who moved to a new farm with their three sons. They were settling into the new community when a nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the dirt of his new property. Joe took that statement as that there was actual gold in the land. He thought to himself, "I have three healthy sons, I will tell them about it". Indeed he told his sons that there was gold to be found in their new property. Needless to say his sons actually took charge of their personal enterprise right on their own land. They had visions of what they would do when they found gold. Each son had a different vision. For as young as they were, they set up quite a professional approach in the digging for gold.

　　當(dāng)我在一旁幫祖父干農(nóng)活時，他總愛給我講一個名叫喬的一家人的故事。故事是這樣的:喬帶著妻子和他們的三個兒子搬到了一個新的農(nóng)場。當(dāng)喬一家人住進一個新杜區(qū)以后，附近的一位農(nóng)夫告訴喬說他的地里有黃金。喬昕后以為這片土地有真的黃金存在，就在心里暗想我有三個健壯的兒子，我應(yīng)該把這件事告訴他們。"于是，喬告訴他的兒子說，在他們家的這塊新地產(chǎn)上可以找到黃金。不必說，他的兒子們立刻去地里挖掘黃金了，就好像把這件事當(dāng)成了自己的事業(yè)一樣。他們幻想著找到黃金以后去做什么，但每一個人都有各自不同的夢想。因為他們?nèi)绱四贻p，還提出一個相當(dāng)專業(yè)的挖掘黃金的方法。

　　They began in one corner with a certain width and kept going until they got to the end. Once they got to the property line they would start another swath and go back the other direction. They began to realize that digging for gold was fun! This procedure went on for about six months and they still weren through going through the whole property.

　　他們先從一個角落開始挖掘，并以特定的一個寬度繼續(xù)向前挖，一直挖到這塊土地的盡頭。他們漸漸覺得挖掘黃金這件事充滿了無窮的樂趣!就這樣不知不覺，他們連續(xù)挖了六個月，仍然陶醉在擁有黃金以后的美夢里。

　　Meanwhile Joe thought he would plant some crops in the area where the dirt had been turned thoroughly. He planted corn, tomatoes, potatoesand onions. His sons continued to dig through the soil, determined to find gold. As more dirt was available. Joe planted more crops. An interesting point here is that Joe had never farmed before but it had always been a dream of his to do so.

　　與此同時，喬有了新的想法，他打算在這些徹底翻新過的土地上種一些農(nóng)作物。于是，他開始種玉米、西虹柿、馬鈴薯和洋蔥。而他的兒子們?nèi)栽谶@塊土地上繼續(xù)不停地挖掘著，一心想找到黃金。隨著可利用的土地越來越多，喬的農(nóng)作物也越種越多。有趣的'是，喬以前從來不會種田，那似乎是他所不敢想象的，然而現(xiàn)在他卻做到了。

　　As each different crop became ready to be harvested Joe started to realize that there was more than he and his family could ever eat. One of Joe's neighbours suggested that he set Up a vegetable stand. Joe and his wife did that very thing. They called it Joe and Family Vegetables. Joe even had to leave some crops on the ground because he had more than enough to meet the demands at the vegetable stand.

　　當(dāng)各種農(nóng)作物快要收割的時候，喬意識到這要比他一家人所需要的食物多得多。這時喬的一位鄰居建議他在地里設(shè)立一個蔬菜區(qū)用來出售。于是喬和妻子昕取了他的意見，并把它稱為喬家蔬菜。喬在蔬菜區(qū)留了足夠多的蔬菜，以滿足顧客的需求。

　　What were Joe's sons doing in the meantime? They were still working the land even after they had finished the entire parcel. They started once again in the original corner. working in the leftover plant material while they were still on their quest to find gold.

　　那么與此同時，喬的兒子們在做什么呢?他們?nèi)匀辉谶@塊土地上挖掘著黃金，甚至當(dāng)所有的土壤都被翻過以后。他們在起初的角落里又重新挖了起來，而這時地里的莊稼已經(jīng)收割完，他們在這塊留有農(nóng)作物殘枝敗葉的土地上仍然繼續(xù)追逐著他們的黃金夢。

　　This process went on for years and Joe and his wife became quite wealthy from their little vegetable stand. They were even able to send their sons off to college simply because they wanted to find gold.

　　幾年過去了，喬和妻子靠著他們的那塊蔬菜地，已經(jīng)變得相當(dāng)富有。他們甚至能供得起兒子去上大學(xué)，而不想再看到他們的兒子只想著挖黃金。

　　Remember at the beginning of the story when Joe was told by his new neighbour that there was gold in the land? Well, the truth is. Joe's understanding of the English language was less than perfect. His new neighbour friend actually told him that his land had rich soil. So you can see where the concept of gold came In.

　　再讓我們回顧一下故事的開頭，不正是喬的新鄰居告訴他地里出黃金的嗎?然而，事實上是喬對英國的語言理解得還不夠透徹。他的新鄰居其實是說他那塊土地有肥沃的土壤，所以你應(yīng)該知道黃金的概念來自哪兒了吧。

　　Did Joe's sons become slaves to the digging? No, they were inspired because they had visions of what money could do for them and did not focus on the money itself.

　　喬的兒子們成為挖掘土地的奴隸了嗎?不，他們只是一昧地幻想著金錢能為他們做什么，并被無數(shù)個幻想所激勵，但從未考慮過獲取金錢的正確途徑。

　　Is there.a way we can take this story to a higher level? Yes. the Universe provides us opportunity and sometimes dangles the carrot to inspire us. In essence. Joe's sons were inspired with the possibility of finding gold in the soil. Some of you I'm sure will draw your own meaning. but here is one to consider. Go out and pretend that there is gold in all your challenges and setbacks so that you can be inspired to motivate yourself to allow the Universe to provide all that you need and then some.

　　我們對這個故事是否可以有一個更深刻的理解呢?答案是肯定的，這個世界提供給我們的機會有很多，然而，有時候上天對我們的這些賞賜又是懸而未定的。事實上，喬的兒子們是被在土壤里找到黃金的這種可能性所激勵。我相信，每一個人對此都有自己不同的理解，但有一點是值得大家借鑒的。面對挑戰(zhàn)與挫折時，假設(shè)它們當(dāng)中也有"黃金讓它激勵著你勇敢向前，讓這個世界為你創(chuàng)造出你所需要的一切。
