英語勵志文章1
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，我們徘徊在那扇關閉的`門前，卻忽略了那扇早已爲我們開啓的新的幸福之門。
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，成爲你想成爲的人，因爲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2
You’ve probably heard the old saying “The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.”
你肯定聽過這樣一句諺語：“竹籬外的草總是分內綠”，別人的彷彿總比我們好。
Perhaps you feel like it’s true. You look at other people’s lives, and you envy them. They seem to be doing so much better than you. They’ve got a great job. Lots of money. A happy home life. They seem to have it all. And you can’t help wishing that you did, too.
也許你認爲這句話是對的，你會愛慕嫉妒別人的生活，感到他們什麼都比你做得好：體面的工作、豐富的收入、幸福的家庭，他們似乎什麼都有了。所以你忍不住盼望：要是自己也能擁有這些就好了。
But none of us ever really know what it’s like to live someone else’s life. No-one’s life is perfect – whatever it looks like from the outside.
但咱們素來無從知曉，如果讓我們去過別人的生活會是什麼樣子。也許從外面看來很美好，但不人的生活是白璧無瑕的。
Plus, it’s a safe bet that some of your friends are looking at your life and thinking very similar things. Whatever state your life is in, you’ve got a lot of good things. You just need to recognize them again.
而且我完整可以確定，有一些你的朋友也跟你一樣，看着你的生活想着相似的事情。實在不論你現在的生活狀況如何，你都已經佔有了許多美妙的事情，你只須要從新意識自己的生活。
I. Enjoy What You Have
享受你所擁有的一切
One of the best ways to love your current life is to write a list of things you’re grateful for. It doesn’t matter if they seem small or insignificant: little everyday moments of happiness count. You might think of:
酷愛自己現在的生活，最好的方法之一就是寫下性命中讓你心懷感謝的事情。就算是很瑣碎很沒有意思也沒有關係：恰是這些日常生活中快活的小時刻讓我們的生活變得有意義。你可能會想到：
1. People who you’re grateful for – your family, friends, housemates, co-workers…
你感激的那些人：你的家人、友人、室友、共事等等;
2. Treats which you enjoy – the smell of fresh coffee, the taste of dark chocolate, a long bath after a hard day…
你喜歡的那些貨色：新穎現磨咖啡的香味，黑巧克力的滋味，還有辛勞一天後好好洗個熱水澡;
3. Things which make your day easier – the dishwasher, online grocery shopping, fast internet access at work…
會讓生活變得輕鬆的事物：洗碗機、網上購物、工作時的快捷網絡;
4. Anything special which you’ve grown accustomed to – your wedding ring, your smartphone, a favorite coat…
已經讓你變得習慣的特殊物件：結婚戒指、智能手機、最愛好的外套;
5. Happy moments – chatting with a friend, something which made you laugh, playing with your kids…
那些歡喜時光：和朋友的閒聊、讓你開懷大笑的事情、和孩子們一起遊玩......
II. Focus on the Good Points
專注生活中好的方面
When we’re thinking about future goals and ambitions, it’s easy to end up in quite a negative mood about the present. Perhaps you start thinking through all the things you want to change in your life: losing weight, getting fit, quitting smoking, switching jobs…
當我們想到未來的目的和幻想時，我們很輕易對當下陷入一種消極的情感中。也許你開端想到生活中你想改變的所有事情：減肥、健身、戒菸、換工作等等。
As well as thinking of what you might want to change, look at the areas of your life which are currently good. Maybe:
在想到你想要轉變的這些事件的'同時，也看看當初的生涯中已經很好的局部，興許是：
1. You get on well with your colleagues at work, and you’ve got a good relationship with your boss
你跟同事相處得十分融洽，跟老闆的關聯也很好;
2. You’ve got some real strengths – like being able to establish a quick connection with clients, and being organised
你已經培育了一些真正的上風：比喻說能很快的與客戶樹立接洽，而且比擬有條理;
3. Your house is set up pretty much how you want it – there might not be loads of space, but it feels like home
家裏的結構正是你始終想要的：可能空間不大，但無比有家的溫馨;
…and so on. How could you make more of these good things? Perhaps you could spend more time on your hobbies, or concentrate on your particular strengths at work.
還有良多。這些好的方面應當如何應用呢?也許你能夠在自己的喜好上花更多的時光，或在工作上專一於本人的專長。
III. Live in the Moment
活在當下
It’s appropriate to plan for the future, and to learn from the past – but it’s not a good idea to constantly have your mind on how “things will be better next year when…” or on “life was so much better last year because…”
爲將來打算和從過去學習，這都是很準確的做法，但假如你的心裏總是在糾結 “明年等......的時候事情可能會好起來” 或是“去年的生活輕鬆多了由於......” ，那就不太對了。
Being able to live in the moment means appreciating what’s around you. It’s about having your attention on now, instead of reminiscing about what’s already gone, or worrying about what’s yet to come. Living in the moment means:
活在當下，意思是要觀賞現在生活中四周的所有。把你的注意力放在現在，而不是追憶已成從前的舊事，或是憂心還未到來的來日。活在當下象徵着：
1. Enjoying your days off, without constantly thinking about Monday morning.
休息日就好好休息，別老是想着立刻要來的週一;
2. Taking time to stop and watch a beautiful sunset, or to enjoy the smell of fresh-mown grass.
花點時間停下來看看漂亮的夕陽，或者聞聞剛修剪過的草坪的青草香;
3. Eating your meals more mindfully – instead of grabbing a sandwich on the run.
更居心的享受每一餐食品，而不是抓一個三明治促了事。
By keeping your attention on the present moment, the here-and-now, you can get much more enjoyment from the life you already have.
讓你的留神力專注在當下的時間，此刻此處。你會從已經領有的生活中感觸到更多的樂趣。
英語勵志文章3
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，我要品嚐葡萄的美味，還要吞下每一位成功的種子，讓新生命在我心裏萌牙。
我選擇的道路充滿機遇，也有辛酸與絕望．失敗的同伴數不勝數，疊在一起，比金字塔還高。
然而，我不會像他們一樣失敗，因爲我手中持有航海圖，可以領我越過洶涌的大海，抵達夢中的彼岸．
失敗不再是我奮鬥的代價．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，就可以學到一切，但我不能永生，所以，在有限的人生裏，我必須學會忍耐的藝術，因爲大自然的行爲一向是從容不迫的．造物主創造樹中之王橄攤樹需要一百年的時間，而洋蔥經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，我要成爲萬樹之王——橄欖樹，成爲現實生活中最偉大的推銷員．
怎麼可能？我既沒有淵博的知識，又沒有豐富的.經驗，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驗妨礙我的行程．造物生已經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。經驗的價值往往被高估了，人老的時候開口講的多是糊塗話．說實在的，經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，其價值已隨着時間的消逝而減少了．結果往往是這樣，經驗豐富了，人也餘生無多．經驗和時尚有關，適合某一時代的行爲，並不尋味着在今天仍然行得通。
只有原則是持久的，而我現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裏．它教我如何避免失敗，而不只是獲得成功，因爲成功更是一種精神狀態．人們對於成功的定義，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，不論這些目標是什麼。
事實上，成功與失敗的最大分野，來自不同的習慣。好習慣是開啓成員的鑰匙，壞習慣則是一扇向失敗敞開的門。因此，我首先要做的便是養成良好的習慣，全心全意去實行。
小時候．我常會感情用事，長大成人了，我要用良好的習慣代替一時的衝動。我的自由意志屈服於多年養成的惡習，它們威脅着我的前途。我的行爲受到品味、情感、偏見、慾望、愛、恐懼、環境和習慣的影響，其中最厲害的就是習慣。因此．如果我必須受習慣支配的話，那就讓我受好習慣的支配。那些壞習慣必須戒除，我要在新的田地裏播種好的種子。 我要養成良好的習慣，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。因爲每～卷裏都寫着一個原則，可以摒除—項壞習慣，換取一個好習慣，使人進步，走向成功。這也是自然法則之一，只有一種習慣才能抑制另一種習慣。所以，爲了走好我選擇的道路，我必須養成的第一個習慣
每張羊皮卷用三十天的時間閱讀，然後再進人下一卷。 清晨即起，默默誦讀；午飯之後，再次默讀；夜晚睡前，高聲朗讀。
第二天的情形完全一樣。這樣重複三十天後，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，它們就成爲一種習慣了。
這些習慣有什麼好處呢？這裏隱含着人類成功的祕訣。當我每天重複這些話的時候，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。擁是個神祕的世界，永不靜止，創造夢境，在不知不覺中影響我的行爲。
當這些羊皮捲上的文字，被我奇妙的心靈完全吸收之後，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，要向世界挑戰的慾望克服了一切恐懼與不安。在這個充滿爭鬥和悲傷的世界裏，我竟然比以前更快活。 最後，我會發現自己有了應付一切情況的辦法。不久，這些辦法就能運用自如．因爲，任何方法，只要多練習，就會變得簡單易行。
經過多次重複，一種看似複雜的行爲就變得輕而易舉，實行起來，就會有無限的樂趣，有了樂趣，出於人之天性，我就更樂意常去實行。於是，一種好的習慣便誕生了．習慣成爲自然。既是一種好的習慣，也就是我的意原。
今天，我天始新的生活．
我鄭重地發誓，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，因爲時光一去不返，失去的日子是無法彌補的。我也絕不打破每天閱讀的習慣。事實上，每天在這些新習慣上花費少許時間，相對於可能獲得的愉樂與成功而言，只是微不足道的代價。 當我閱讀羊皮卷中的字句時，絕不能出爲文字的精煉而忽視內容的深沉。一瓶葡萄美酒需要千百顆果子釀製而成，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，隨風飄逝。只有純正的真理纔是永恆的。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，我的老繭化爲塵埃。我在人羣中昂首闊步，不會有人認出我來，因爲我不再是過去的自己、我已擁有新的生命。
英語勵志文章4
What is Your Recovery Rate?
What is your recovery rate? How long does it take you to recover from actions and behaviors that upset you? Minutes? Hours? Days? Weeks? The longer it takes you to recover, the more influence that incident has on your actions, and the less able you are to perform to your personal best. In a nutshell, the longer it takes you to recover, the weaker you are and the poorer your performance.
You are well aware that you need to exercise to keep the body fit and, no doubt, accept that a reasonable measure of health is the speed in which your heart and respiratory system recovers after exercise. Likewise the faster you let go of an issue that upsets you, the faster you return to an equilibrium, the healthier you will be. The best example of this behavior is found with professional sportspeople. They know that the faster they can forget an incident or missd opportunity and get on with the game, the better their performance. In fact, most measure the time it takes them to overcome and forget an incident in a game and most reckon a recovery rate of 30 seconds is too long!
Imagine yourself to be an actor in a play on the stage. Your aim is to play your part to the best of your ability. You have been given a script and at the end of each sentence is a ful stop. Each time you get to the end of the sentence you start a new one and although the next sentence is related to the last it is not affected by it. Your job is to deliver each sentence to the best of your ability.
Don’t live your life in the past! Learn to live in the present, to overcome the past. Stop the past from influencing your daily life. Don’t allow thoughts of the past to reduce your personal best. Stop the past from interfering with your life. Learn to recover quickly.
Remember: Rome wasn’t built in a day. Reflect on your recovery rate each day. Every day before you go to bed, look at your progress. Don’t lie in bed saying to you, “I did that wrong.” “I should have done better there.” No. look at your day and note when you made an effort to place a full stop after an incident. This is a success. You are taking control of your life. Remember this is a step by step process. This is not a make-over. You are undertaking real change here. Your aim: reduce the time spent in recovery.
The way forward?
Live in the present. Not in the precedent.
譯文：
你的恢復速率是多少?
你的恢復速率是多少?你需要多長時間才能從讓你煩惱的行爲中恢復?幾分鐘?幾小時?幾天?幾星期?你需要的恢復時間越長，那個事件對你的影響越大，你也就越不能做到最好。簡言之，你的恢復時間越長，你就越軟弱，你的表現也就越差勁。
你充分意識到，要保持身體健康你需要鍛鍊，並且你無疑會接受，你的心臟和呼吸系統在鍛鍊後的恢復速度是衡量健康的一個合理尺度。同樣，你越快擺脫使你煩惱的問題，越快恢復平靜，你就越健康。此類行爲的最好典範是專業運動員。他們知道，越快忘記一件事或失去的機會而好好比賽，他們的發揮就越好。實際上，大多數運動員會佰自己克服並忘記比賽中一個事件所需的時間，而且大多數人都認爲30秒的恢復時間太長了!
想象自己是一位站在舞臺上的戲劇賞。你的目標是盡全力扮演好你的角色。你已經拿到了劇本，而劇本中的每句話都以句號結尾。每次你念到一個句子的末尾，你就會開始一個新的句子。儘管下一句和上一句有關聯，但並不受它的影響。你的工作是盡力說好每句臺詞。
不要生活在過去!要學會生活在現在，學會克服過去;不要讓過去影響你的日常生活;不要讓過去的思想妨礙你做到最好;不要讓過去幹擾你的生活;學會快速恢復。
記住，羅馬不是一日建成的'。每天都反思自己的恢復速率;每天上牀睡覺前，都看看自己的進步;不要躺在牀上對自己說：“我那個做錯了。”“我應該做到更好。”不要那樣做;回想自己的一天，並注意努力給某個事件畫上句號的時刻。這就是一個成功，你在控制自己的生活。記住這是一個循序漸進的過程。這不是簡單的修修補補。你正在進行的是真正的改變，你的目標是減少用在恢復上的時間。
將來該怎麼做呢?
生活在現在，而不是從前。
英語勵志文章5
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.

1. Remember Your Accomplishments
要記住自己所取得的成就

3. Remember to Do What You Love

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.
多數成功人士都經歷過失敗的人生體驗，並非一切冒險都能成功。有時要做好失敗的準備。

如果你想成功，你應該做好面對最壞的狀況的準備。認清潛在的最差情況和最壞結果，這有助於確保自己只對心中有數的風險進行嘗試。
7. Remember to Be Productive with Your Time

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.
懶惰並不會達到自己的奮鬥目標。如果你想成功，就需要你在時間的利用上做到精打細算。學會採取高效戰略，並完善自己的`方法來達到奮鬥目標。

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.
如果對自己的奮鬥方向不夠明確，你就不會實現目標。明確自己的目標，這樣你就會穩步向前。爲自己設定近期目標和長遠目標。
9. Remember to Practice Self-Discipline
記住要養成自律的習慣
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。爲了達到目標，人生中有些事情不得已只能放棄。或許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，你需要放棄當前的滿足，把眼睛盯在奮鬥目標上。
10. Remember to Calculate Risk Carefully
記住要仔細估算風險
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.
對於自己所做出的選擇，除了對其潛在的利弊進行審覈分析，我們無法預知自己所做出的決策是否明智。在你草率或衝動地邁開下一步之前，應認真估算毀掉你的成功機會的風險。
11. Remember to Monitor Your Progress
記住要監視自己的進展
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.
若想成功需要監視自己的進展。需要了解自己與奮鬥目標的距離，這樣才能按照計劃所需做出調整。
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抑或是教導別人，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。你需要有自信並鼓勵自己取得成功，因爲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，你可能就會落在後面。要記着靈活應變，願意抓住時機。
15. Remember to Ask for Help
記着要尋求幫助
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。
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.
我按平時的規律吃晚餐、打掃屋子、寫作——做着日常事務。然後我躺下，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。可當我躺在那兒，等待着世界的日夜迴轉時，我想到了她。有時我會笑起來，有時那微笑變成了竊笑，然後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，胸口發悶；有時那種傷感席捲而來，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。然後不知怎的，我在或喜悅或悲傷中飄蕩，逐漸入眠。然後夢境開始伴我左右，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，因爲我告訴自己今天也許就是之前其他日子爲之打下基礎的“那一天”，是我餘生的第一天。我迅速掛上微笑，因爲我真的很想讓她看到我的最佳狀態。然後我朝窗外看去，因爲即使我知道現在纔剛剛破曉，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.
它在那裏……太陽，雖然還是雲霧重重，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?”
然後我問自己：“今天就是那一天嗎？”興奮之情再次充溢全身。然後我問自己：“它會在哪裏呢？”
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裏，沒想到我真能在那裏找到她，爲我生津止渴，取之不盡。也許它會躲在雜貨店裏，我拿起水果的時候，她就出現了，她會給我展示新鮮和變質的不同。然後，從那一刻開始，我所嚐到的一切味道不再一樣，因爲但凡我看到的、嚐到的、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籤的`商品拿到收銀臺。我在天使身後排隊，看着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，讓我可以和麪前的倩影閒聊一會兒，否則我也許會錯過，但只因爲一句“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牀就滿懷信心，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，因爲無論我想何時看到它，我都可以看向她，它總會出現在她的雙眸裏；她永遠爲我留着。
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。而真正的問題在於，如何將內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，你就會信以爲真，這足以摧毀你的自尊。如果你也會出現下面這些消極觀念，那就代表你應該做點改變了。
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複，也會讓你信以爲真。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:你能做些什麼呢？下面是一些建議：
1. Live in the moment活在當下
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，後者會讓你對未來充滿恐懼。對於過去，你無能爲力，而未來還未到來，好好活在當下吧。
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。在內心細細描述客觀接受自己會是什麼的畫面。細細畫出心中所想，那會是什麼樣？
3. Recognize that actions always follow beliefs要認識到行爲由信念指引
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，你以後的'人生會經歷更多，也會發現自己的行爲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，然後開始行動吧。
4. Pay attention to triggers留神那些“導火索”
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火索，那麼就遠離他們。
5. Develop positive counterstatements to refute negative self-talk積極反駁內心那些消極的聲音
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麼樣子。你的強項是什麼，特長是什麼？與其說“我不夠好”，不如現在就開始說這句正能量的話語：“我有能力，我擅長....，我喜歡現在的自己。”
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，同時限制自身發展。從今天開始就關掉內心的消極頻道，挖掘自身的潛力吧。
4.痛苦是瞭解自己的最好機會
當你失去了內心的堅持，便失去了自己。當你失去了自己，世界也會把你遺忘。對我來說，每分鐘都是那麼美好。而且每當我看到別人的笑容，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. 當你失去了內心的堅持，便失去了自己。當你失去了自己，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，是熱愛生活，嚐盡世間百態，熱情接觸新事物以及不懼更新更豐富的經歷。
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，每分鐘都是那麼美好。而且每當我看到別人的笑容，都會在心中深深感恩。
5. The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.
5. 靈魂應該始終整裝待發，準備好接受奇妙的經歷。
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. 當內心的'最深處真正融入你正在做的事，當你的行動變得令人滿意、目標明確，當你做的事利己利人，那你正在做命中註定的事了。
8. Your pain is an opportunity for you to learn about yourself.
8. 痛苦是一個瞭解你自己的機會。
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牀後尋找他們想要的機遇，如果他們找不到的話，就自己創造。
10. A good time to laugh is anytime you can.
10. 什麼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，你是怎麼定義力量的呢？
How do you know your limits? How do you know just how much you’ve got?
你是如何瞭解自己的侷限性？你怎麼知道你能做到什麼程度？
When push comes to shove, we often discover that we are much stronger than we think.
當壓力來臨時，我們會發現我們比想象中要更強大。
What is Strength?
什麼是力量？
Strength is not always about pure physical strength. Rather, it is about willpower. Discipline. Drive. It is about the capacity to get things done.
力量並不僅僅指你的肌肉力量，它更多的指的是意志力、訓練、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性，但他們仍能通過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並沒有意識到工作量的巨大。旁觀者不僅感到很吃驚，而且還經常問，“你是怎麼做到的？”
The answer usually comes back, “I just work harder than the others.”
經常得到這樣的回答，“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，爲什麼有些人就能做到更多？他們的動力是哪裏來的呢？是誰給予他們多餘的力量？
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.侷限性
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.
據我所觀察，很多人都是自己強加給自己的侷限性。他們有時候根據能力和力量自我設定了他們的侷限，有時候根據過去的經歷設定一些邊界，還有的根據想象中的能力設定，還有些則毫無任何根據就限定了自己的力量。
I can’t do that. (Why?)
我做不到。（爲什麼呢？）
That is too much for me. (How do you know?)
對我來說太難了。（你怎麼知道太難？）
I can’t put in that much effort. (What would happen if you did?)
我做不到那麼努力。（如果你做了會怎麼樣？）
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。（你不嘗試怎麼能如此確定？）
So, how do we break through these limits? How do we get stronger?
所以，怎樣才能打破這些侷限？怎麼才能更強大？
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，你就要打破你的侷限。
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心力量方面也是正確的，訓練自己，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確。要確定一個能稍微超過力所能及的目標。
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.
當你過每一天的時候，都要挑戰一下你的能力，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，然後定義你的能力。
When you discover how much you’ve really got, you may surprise even yourself.
當你發現你真正能獲取的，你會發現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麼？哪一方面需要你增加壓力呢？到什麼時候你會發現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。做個爲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；閒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.
每個人都與衆不同。年輕時，清楚這一點至關重要。爲自己感到驕傲，而且要勇敢地讓世界知道這一點。
5. Take calculated risks
承擔可估算的風險
Life is a series of risks and rewards. Be smart with your risks and understand the consequences.
生活伴隨着風險與回報。在風險面前保持警醒，並有勇氣承擔後果。
6. Focus on the present
關注當下
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.
對未來有些擔心很正常，但不要忽視活在當下的能量。你無力改變過去，但現在卻由你掌控。
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，擔心受指責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，人們怎麼看你無關緊要。的確如此。另外，人們過於擔心你對他們的看法而無暇顧及你。
8. Remember that people are good at heart
記住人性本善
Being a lifelong cynic can and will make your life an uphill climb. Recognize that people are inherently good and you will embrace relationships in a far greater capacity.
與憤世疾俗爲伍，只會使生活艱難。承認人善的本性，你就會敞開胸懷，廣交朋友。
9. Be a positive person
積極向上
Make being positive a habit early in life. Your success in life will come from your thoughts and your thoughts can be either negative or positive. Only you can control which you choose.
年輕時就要養成積極向上的習慣。生活成敗取決於思想，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、不健康的關係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。如果不忍割捨，那隻會讓你的生活變得一團糟。
7.勇敢跳出舒適區
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你挑戰自我的興趣：
“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，那麼你也將毫無改變。”——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 “lizard brain” crafted instead:
當然，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，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。只有努力戰勝預想的極限，我們才能發現自己真正擅長什麼。不要限制生活中遇到的挑戰——而應挑戰大腦設定的各種極限。
1. Learn a new language.
學一門新語言。
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：當你準備挑戰自己時，可以嘗試學習這些語言。學一門新語言並不只是爲了豐富簡歷；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.
弄清自己害怕什麼，然後堅持嘗試一週。
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，卻很害怕跟人當面或電話交談，那可就有問題了。你不能只通過網絡聯繫客戶，對吧？現在，不要再畏縮害怕，不要再不自覺地認爲會做不好，每天至少花5分鐘拿起電話聯繫某個潛在客戶吧。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！因爲最後你肯定能做到的。不久，你就能直面恐懼並告訴自己：“來吧，我不怕！”
3. Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to pursue.
報培訓班學習一直想發展的愛好。
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；在從事這項愛好時，你必須能夠解壓放鬆。類似愛好可以是烹飪、縫紉、繪畫或網絡平面設計。
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，參加愛好培訓班除了能幫你挑戰自我，還可以爲你帶來額外收入。（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.
不要滿足於當下的職位。將職業目標定高一些。當然，除了目標，還要拿出行動來。預定和自己職業行業有關的會議，然後在會上多加學習，多提合理問題，並且，別忘了和其他與會者以及重要發言人保持聯繫。有時候，現實就是“重點不在於你知道什麼知識，而在於你認識什麼人”。
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.
挑戰自己拋開現在的預算，然後制定一個更好的。財務管理不在於你能掙多少錢，而在於你能用掙到的錢幹什麼。
- So, produce a budget on paper, or in an Microsoft Excel file.
所以，在紙上制定一個預算吧，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.
然後削減在那方面的開銷，這樣你就有更多錢用來投資到應急基金或投資基金裏了。
6. Dedicate at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.
每天至少花9分鐘鍛鍊身體。
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。繞着小區跑步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.
這裏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遊景點這種花錢少的方式，也可以稱爲旅行！請不要只去認識同行的人——試試搭訕一下救生員、接待員或導遊等服務人員吧。你永遠不知道自己將會認識什麼樣的人呢。到外面或在網上報班學習吧。現在就開始學習時不時地挑戰自己。我們都需要時不時地推一把。
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，並非人生旅程的一段時光，也並非粉頰紅脣和體魄的矯健。
它是心靈中的一種狀態，是頭腦中的一個意念，是理性思維中的創造潛力，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。
年輕，意味着甘願放棄溫馨浪漫的愛情去闖蕩生活，意味着超越羞澀、怯懦和慾望的膽識與氣質。而60歲的男人可能比20歲的小夥子更多地擁有這種膽識與氣質。沒有人僅僅因爲時光的流逝而變得衰老，只是隨着理想的.毀滅，人類纔出現了老人。
歲月可以在皮膚上留下皺紋，卻無法爲靈魂刻上一絲痕跡。憂慮、恐懼、缺乏自信才使人佝僂於時間塵埃之中。
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着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，只要它不停地從人羣中，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，捕捉着每個樂觀向上的電波，你便有希望超過年輕的80歲。
所以只要勇於有夢，敢於追夢，勤於圓夢，我們就永遠年輕!
千萬不要動不動就說自己老了，錯誤引導自己!年輕就是力量，有夢就有未來!

Types of innovation
Scholars have identified at a variety of classifications for types innovations. Here is an unordered ad-hoc list of examples:
Business model innovation
involves changing the way business is done in terms of capturing value .
Marketing innovation
is the development of new marketing methods with improvement in product design or packaging, product promotion or pricing.
Organizational innovation
involves the creation or alteration of business structures, practices, and models, and may therefore include process, marketing and business model innovation.
Process innovation
involves the implementation of a new or significantly improved production or delivery method.
Product innovation
involves the introduction of a new good or service that is new or substantially improved. This might include improvements in functional characteristics, technical abilities, ease of use, or any other dimension.
Service innovation
typically refers to service product innovation which might involve, compared to goods product innovation or process innovation, relatively less technological advance, being more interactive and information-intensive (though some service firms have major technology efforts - think of ATMs and banks, for instance. Service innovation may also involve novelty in the way in which services are produced (i.e. service process innovation), or in delivery of other aspects of the service - including creative content in the case of entertainment and cultural services.
Supply chain innovation
where innovations occur in the sourcing of input products from suppliers and the delivery of output products to customers
Substantial innovation
introduces a different product or service within the same line, such as the movement of a candle company into marketing the electric lightbulb.
Financial innovation
through which new financial services and products are developed, by combining basic financial attributes (ownership, risk-sharing, liquidity, credit) in progressive innovative ways, as well as reactive exploration of borders and strength of tax law. Through a cycle of development, directive compliance is being sharpened on opportunities, so new financial services and products are continuously shaped and progressed to be adopted. The dynamic spectrum of financial innovation, where business processes, services and products are adapted and improved so new valuable chains emerge, therefore may be seen to involve most of the above mentioned types of innovation.
Incremental innovations
is a step forward along a technology trajectory, or from the known to the unknown, with little uncertainty about outcomes and success and is generally minor improvements made by those working day to day with existing methods and technology (both process and product), responding to short term goals. Most innovations are incremental innovations. A value-added business process, this involves making minor changes over time to sustain the growth of a company without making sweeping changes to product lines, services, or markets in which competition currently exists.
Breakthrough, disruptive or radical innovation
involves launching an entirely novel product or service rather than providing improved products & services along the same lines as currently. The uncertainty of breakthrough innovations means that seldom do companies achieve their breakthrough goals this way, but those times that breakthrough innovation does work, the rewards can be tremendous. Involves larger leaps of understanding, perhaps demanding a new way of seeing the whole problem, probably taking a much larger risk than many people involved are happy about. There is often considerable uncertainty about future outcomes. There may be considerable opposition to the proposal and questions about the ethics, practicality or cost of the proposal may be raised. People may question if this is, or is not, an advancement of a technology or process. Radical innovation involves considerable change in basic technologies and methods, created by those working outside mainstream industry and outside existing paradigms. Sometimes it is very hard to draw a line between both.
New technological systems (systemic innovations)
that may give rise to new industrial sectors, and induce major change across several branches of the economy.
Social innovation
a number of different definitions, but predominantly refers to either innovations that aim to meet a societal need or the social processes used to develop an innovation
英語勵志文章8
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.
生活並非總是如你所願。希望有時會落空，夢想有時會破滅，我們不能一切隨心所願。但別放棄希望，因爲凡事並非一成不變;不同時間，不同場合，你會呈現不同的面貌。
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，一個關心的舉動，一句友善的`話語，無不傳達着愛。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，從中你會發現生活的力量，感受生活帶來的幸福快樂，學會忍耐和理解。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，但你仍可以盡力而爲。累積點滴努力，最終你將扭轉乾坤。
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。當我們遇到挫折時，請深呼一口氣並對自己說:“我可以做到!”希望就在前方。
英語勵志文章9
There lies in the heart of every man and woman a quiet hunger：a longing for an earth shaking significance.
在咱們每個人心中都深藏着一份無聲而實在巴望：一種發明光輝人生的巴望。
It can be heard in the quiet, most unedited times like when our head hits the pillow duanwenw.com 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.”
這種巴望有時會在不經意的安靜時間，比方當咱們在夜晚將頭靠落有枕頭上時聽到。當一天的壓力逐步退去，有種聲響會震懾咱們的魂靈：“日子不僅僅是這麼，我的人生能夠更絢爛。”
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.
很多人現已承受一種拋棄尋求願望的日子，只安於現狀。可是有時就在咱們最不經意的一霎那，咱們會再次聽到那悠遠的'呼喊：呼喊着一種充分，有內在，賦有熱情和含義的日子。這種呼喊會一向迴旋在咱們耳邊，纏繞着咱們，即便咱們試圖用沉着和成熟去緘默沉靜它，咱們卻發現實事上它是咱們心裏骨子裏的一團火焰，永久不會平息。
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.
咱們的直覺是準確的。有一個絢爛的人生故事，而咱們即是這個故事的主角。有這麼一句話：一個人的終身迴腸蕩氣，永存。
If you are ready to find your purpose, find the voice. Go back to the places that you have heard it duanwenw.com 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.
假如你現已準備好去發現你人生的意圖，去傾聽那個聲響吧。回到那個你最能明晰接觸到你心裏深處的當地。對某些人來說，這個聲響會在清晨，開端一天的繁忙之前呈現。而對某些人，它會在聽音樂，看電影或讀書時閃現，也或許當你在林間或山崗漫步時聽到這種呼喊。
英語勵志文章10
The significant inscription found on an old key - "If I rest, I rust." - would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with slightest bit of idleness. Even the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.
Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gates that guard entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture-every department of human endeavor.
Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of achievement. If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in quarry had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist. The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathematics, if he had given his " moments to idleness. Had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, had allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside, instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never become a famous,astronomer.
Labor vanquish all-not inconstant, spasmodic or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting daily effort toward a well-directed purpose. Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, So is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.

Innovation
The term innovation may refer to both radical and incremental changes in thinking, in things, in processes or in services (Mckeown, 20xx) Invention that gets out in to the world is innovation. In many fields, something new must be substantially different to be innovative, not an insignificant change, e.g., in the arts, economics, business and government policy. In economics the change must increase value, customer value, or producer value. The goal of innovation is positive change, to make someone or something better. Innovation leading to increased productivity is the fundamental source of increasing wealth in an economy.
Innovation is an important topic in the study of economics, business, technology, sociology, and engineering. Colloquially, the word "innovation" is often used as synonymous with the output of the process. Since innovation is also considered a major driver of the economy, the factors that lead to innovation are also considered to be critical to policy makers.
英語勵志文章12
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，愛與被愛是每個人的渴望。一個人是否幸福，關鍵在於他是否擁有愛並能夠接受愛。
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.
在有些人看來，愛就是一種充滿活力、渴望且極富戲劇性的情感，是zhan有一切的激情與yu望。而我認爲，這種愛是極不成熟的愛：它是向他人的索求，而不是奉獻。只有成熟的愛才能帶來幸福，它是內心真摯情感的流露，能夠接受並理解他人，給予對方溫柔與體貼。它不索求服務，而是處處提供服務。
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，由於身患急性鼻竇炎，我幾乎難以呼吸。胃部也常感不適，易噁心嘔吐。失眠問題也一直困擾着我，即使我感到疲憊不堪卻依然輾轉難眠。可是，醫生對我的病症所做的`治療卻毫不奏效，我的痛苦絲毫未減。絕望中，我嘗試了心理療法。很幸運的是，我找到了一位博學、熱情的醫生，他讓我懂得了，能夠相信自己與他人的意義所在。
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.
我身體的疾病得以治癒，而更多的是我最終開始學會一門生活的哲學。我一直是一個循規蹈矩的人，雖然我並不相信那些教條與格言，但多年來，由於不敢質疑，我一直不假思索地將其視爲生活的準則。然而我卻難以正常而平靜地生活，總是坐立不安。最終，我受到了懲罰，病魔纏身，同時也得到了啓示：必須對現狀做出改變，否則將萬事不順。
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.
爲了改變現狀，我需要幫助來面對自我。對我來說，“認識自己”並不是件簡單的事。一生中，我選擇了兩個罪惡中較輕的一個：逃避自我，因爲真相往往更爲危險。曾經我以爲，戴上面具，忘記面具下的一切，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，面具是虛假的掩護，我的內心決不肯永遠緘默。最終這種情感佔了上風，如果它不曾主宰我，我就依然得面對恐懼、憤怒、羨慕、仇恨、嫉妒和極其需要關注的情感。除了順從自己的內心，我別無選擇，當我意識到這一點時，我便更喜歡自己，也更愛他人。這並不是爲了他人能給予我什麼，而是我能給予他們什麼。
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.
如何能簡單幸福地生活，《聖經》中的衆多例子都告訴了我們。它建議：“施比受更有福。”那些期望最多的人，往往收穫最少。曾經，我期望頗多，內心卻充滿了憤怒與狂躁，因爲外界任何事物都無法填補我內心的空虛與絕望。一切都於事無補，直到我能夠面對憤怒、狂躁、空虛與絕望，並慢慢地開始懂得同情、信仰、自制與平靜這些新的情感。我也明白了，理智正是思想與情感最明智的結合，它能夠讓我爲自己與他人承擔起更多的責任，驅除往昔糾纏我的幽靈。
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.
對我來說，要想更加幸福，還需付出更多艱辛的努力。但是，爲獲得一定程度的幸福而付出的艱辛努力，才使得幸福彌足珍貴。
英語勵志文章13
堅強，有時是迫不得已
Change is considerably easier when you have a full complement of supporting partners and unlimited resources. But, since very often it is the shock of a death, divorce or some other life tragedy that unceremoniously tosses us out of our comfort zone to fend for ourselves, it can mean being forced to strike out alone which for many of us is the scariest part of all.
當你有很多合作伙伴和無盡的資源時，改變就更容易發生了。但是，由於這種變化往往是來自於身邊的人去世的打擊、離婚或是其他的一些人生悲劇，而且這些變化又毫無徵兆地將我們趕出了自己的舒適圈，使我們不得不自己照顧自己，所以這樣的變化也意味着我們要被迫獨自面對很多事情，這也是很多人最害怕的事情。
Probably the most difficult thing about pursuing significant change is doing it when you don’t have the knowledge, financial or emotional tools available to make the process go smoothly.
也許，在進行顯著改變時遇到的最困難的事情，就是即便對相關知識一無所知，也缺少財務支持或情感工具，卻還是要順利完成。
However, as difficult as it can be, sometimes reaching our full potential means working without a net. Or, as Tony Robbins says, "If you want to take the island, burn the f’ing boats!"
然而，不管有多難，有時想要達到我們潛能的極限，其實只需在工作時擺脫網絡的.束縛。換言之，正如託尼 羅賓斯所說，“如果你想去島上，就燒了這些該死的船！”
For those truly dedicated to their mission, having fewer resources and no backup or fallback plan can be a surprising blessing as it forces you to get creative and forge new paths.
而對於那些真正致力於完成自己使命的人來說，缺少資源、備份或應急計劃都會被看作是一個意外之禮，因爲這促使你變得更具創造力，懂得另闢蹊徑。
I don’t know if it’s possible to leave this world with zero regrets. Because of the natural life cycles and the fact that sometimes it’s the tragedy that causes our awakenings we often have our epiphanies too late to avoid certain painful outcomes.
我不知道是否有可能在離開這個世界時不留任何遺憾。因爲自然生命週期有限，也只有悲劇結局，才能讓我們清醒，這使我們時常頓悟得太晚，以致於無法避免那些令人痛苦的結局。
However, it is indefensible to can claim ignorance to the possible ramifications of continued inaction. The choice belongs to each and every one of us. We all have the power to change both our thoughts and behavior thereby giving more intentional direction to the remainder of our lives.
然而，把持續的無作爲所導致的後果歸因爲無知是站不住腳的。選擇權在我們每一個人手中。我們都可以改變自己的思想和行爲，去爲之後的生活確立更明確的方向。

生活中我們最幸福時
A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.
一個男人和他的女朋友結婚，舉行了一場盛大的結婚慶典。
All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivitiesand celebrations. All had a wonderful time.

The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in hisblacktuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
穿着白色婚紗的新娘漂亮迷人，穿着黑色禮服的新郎英俊瀟灑。每個人都能看出他們彼此的愛是真誠的。
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal,¨I read in a magazine,awhile ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage," she offered. "Each of us will write a listof the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about howwe can fix them together and make our lives happier together."
凡個月後，妻子走近丈夫提議說：“我剛纔在雜誌上看到一篇文章，說的是怎樣鞏固婚姻。”她說：“我們兩個人都各自把對方的小毛病列在一張紙上，然後我們商量一下怎樣解決，以便使我們的生活更幸福。”
The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought ofthe things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the restof the day and wrote down what they came up with.
丈夫同意了。於是化們各自走向不同的`房間去想對方的缺點。那一天餘下的時間裏，他們都在思考這個問題，並且把他們想到的都寫下來。
The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.
第二天早上，吃早飯的時候，他們決定談談彼此的缺點。
I'II start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it,enough to fill 3 pages.In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears werestarting to appear in her husband's eyes.
“我先開始吧。”妻子說。她拿出她的單子，上面列舉了很多條，事實上，足足寫滿了三頁。當她開始唸的時候，她注意到丈夫眼裏含着淚花。
”What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing," the husband replied, "keep reading your list."
“怎麼啦?”她問。“沒什麼，“丈夫答道，“繼續唸吧。”
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placedher list on the table and folded her hands over the top ofit.
妻子又接着念。整整三頁都念完之後她把單子整齊地放在桌上，兩手交叉放在上面。
Now, you read your list and then we'II talk about the things on both of our lists," she saidhappily.
“現在該你念了，然後我們談談所列舉的缺點。”她高興地說。
Quietly the husband stated,¨I don't have anything on my list.I think that you are perfect theway that you are.I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful andl wouldn't want to try and change anything about you."
丈夫平靜地說：“我什麼也沒罵，我覺得像你這樣就很完美了，我不想讓你爲我改變什麼。你很可愛迷人，我不想讓你改變。”
The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance ofher,tumed her head and wept.
妻子被丈夫的誠實和對她深深的愛和接納感動了，她轉過頭去哭起來。
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don'treallyhave to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light andpromise.
生命中我們有很多的失望、沮喪和煩惱，我們根本不需要尋找。我們美妙的世界充滿了美麗、光明、希望。
Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we canlookaround us, and see the wondrous things before us?
但是，當我們放眼四周時，爲什麼浪費時間尋找不快、失望和煩惱，而看不到我們面前的美好事物呢?
英語勵志文章15
When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you. Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.
At every turn we come across its mystery. At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.
Believe in your faith. Set the vision before your eyes. Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream. It may take one season or more, but the result is the same. Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities. The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible. For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside. But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.
Dreaming is an act of faith. The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world. God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.
Find your treasure within and cherish it. Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.
翻譯：夢想的力量
別人看你的眼睛時,他應當體會到你內心的活力。懷揣夢想就像是擁有一座你前行的燈塔。
每個轉折關頭,它給我們帶來奇蹟。每個新的起點,我們脫胎換骨,煥然一新。孤獨中我們挺過失望的陰霾,發覺我們的信念不曾動搖,我們的力量依然強大。
秉持信念,期盼未來。許下你比較真誠的夢想,一旦機會來臨,就爲之拼搏。也許要花一季甚或更多的時間,但結局不會改變。立大志,傾全力,成現實。前途未卜,有一步一個腳印,夢想者的.至高希冀纔會實現。我們必須珍存夢想,給它一季的保護,讓它在內心悄然生髮。然而我們還得溫柔呵護我們內心至深的期許,慢慢地夢想必將成就新的生命。
夢想是實現信仰的第一步。你的希望熠熠光輝,它會驅逐不信的陰影。上帝賦予我們夢想的天資,去點亮不曾確信的世界。讓夢想的財富寄於心中,珍愛它,明天正等着你跨出第一步。
學習，就象是一場戰爭，有時你覺得在這拼命撕殺的戰場上，你是孤獨與無助的，但你殊不知，你其實並不是孤身奮戰的！好了，到了這裏，關於英語100字勵志小短文精選這個問題學好網董刀就爲大家介紹到這裏了，若還有更多疑問，可以點擊右下角諮詢哦！
