Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter.
They say they’d like to do this or that, but then they offer all the excuses in the world for why they can’t do whatever it is. No matter what the excuses are, the only thing that is usually limiting them is their own self-perception.
If I’ve learned anything, I’ve learned that a person ―any person ―may do anything they set their mind on doing. The things you need are willingness to work for what you want, patience to learn what you need to know and, most important of all, belief in yourself. You only need a seed, and then your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward.
If your self-perception is that you can’t accomplish something because you’re not smart enough, then take the time to learn what you need to know, and then your self-perception will change.
If your self-perception is that you can’t accomplish something because you never finish anything you start, then go and finish something and change your self- perception.
If your self-perception is that you’re too lazy, too busy, too unworthy, too unfocused, too depressed, or too dependent on others to accomplish great things, then you’re right. You are that because you believe you are, but in fact, you can change that! Life is change, and the past doesn’t equal the future. Your reality today is the result of your past beliefs and actions. Change your beliefs and actions, and you will change your future. Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right. You are what you think.
Think about that the next time you need an excuse.
翻译：思想与行动
有些人的一生都在借口中度过。
他们总是说喜欢这喜欢那,只是随之给出各种理由来解释他为什么没能去做。但无论是什么借口,唯一能限制他们行为的通常只是他们的自我认知。
如果说我确实明白了一些事情,那就是了解了一个人,任何一个人,几乎可以做成任何事情,只要他们下决心去做。你需要的只是为梦想而奋斗的意愿、为学*必要知识的耐心,但是最重要的是你的自信。你只需播下一粒梦想的种子,你的信念将会随着你一起成长。
如果你自认为是因不够聪明而不能完成某件事情,那么就花些时间去学*所需要的知识,这样,你的自我认知就会改变。
如果你自认为你不能完成某件事情常常是因为半途而废,那么就去做完它,将这种自我认知彻底改变。
如果你自认为是因太懒惰、太忙、太卑微、太不专心、太消沉、太依赖别人而不能做成大事,那么你是对的。英语短文你确实是这样,因为你自己就是这样认为的。但事实上你能够改变。生活无时无刻不在变化,过去不等于未来。你的现在正是你过去所想所做的必然结果。改变你的信念和行动,成就你的将来。如果你认为你能或不能做什么,那么你是对的,因为正是你的思想造就了你。
下次你找什么借口的时候,仔细思量一番。
A Nail Or A Fly?
An old gentleman whose eyesight was failing came to stay in a hotel room with a bottle of wine in each hand. On the wall there was a fly which he took for a nail. So the moment he hung them on, the bottles fell broken and the wine spilt all over the floor. When a waitress discovered what had happened, she showed deep sympathy for him and decided to do him a favor.
So the next morning when he was out taking a walk in the roof garden, she hammered a nail exactly where the fly had stayed.
Now the old man entered his room. The smell of the spilt wine reminded him of the accident. When he looked up at the wall, he found the fly was there again! He walked to it carefully and slapped it with all his strength. On hearing a loud cry, the kind-hearted waitress rushed in. To her great surprise, the poor old man was there sitting on the floor, his teeth clenched and his right hand bleeding!
Young people are excited, young people are strong, young people work hard, and young people hope. In another Youth Day approaching, bless you, my dear friend, a young, promising career, young people, happy every day.

Youth, a life only once, although the youth have rebellion, impetuous, and also have mistakes, but more youth is enthusiasm, beauty and hope. Youth will have happiness after all, because it has the future! Happy youth day!
On the surface, Chinatown is prosperous - a "model slum," some have called it - with the lowest crime rate, highest employment and least juvenile delinquency of any city district. Walk through its crowded streets at any time of day, and every shop is doing a brisk and businesslike trade: restaurant after restaurant is booming; there are storefront displays of shiny squids, clawing crabs and clambering lobster; and street markets offer overflowing piles of exotic green vegetables, garlic and ginger root. Chinatown has the feel of a land of plenty, and the reason why lies with the Chinese themselves: even here, in the very core of downtown Manhattan, they have been careful to preserve their own way of dealing with things, preferring to keep affairs close to the bond of the family and allowing few intrusions into a still-insular culture. There have been several concessions to Westerners - storefront signs now offer English translations, and Haagen Dazs and Baskin Robbins ice-cream stores have opened on lower Mott Street - but they can't help but seem
incongruous. The one time of the year when Chinatown bursts open is during the Chinese New Year festival, held each year on the first full moon after
January 19, when a giant dragon runs down Mott Street to the accompaniment of firecrackers, and the gutters run with ceremonial dyes.
Beneath the neighborhood's blithely prosperous facade, however, there is a darker underbelly. Sharp practices continue to flourish, with traditional
extortion and protection rackets still in business. Non-union sweatshops - their assembly lines grinding from early morning to late into the evening - are still visited by the US Department of Labor, who come to investigate workers' testimonies of being paid below minimum wage for seventy-plus-hour work weeks. Living conditions are abysmal for the poorer Chinese - mostly recent immigrants and the elderly - who reside in small rooms in overcrowded
tenements ill-kept by landlords. Yet, because the community has been
cloistered for so long and has only just begun to seek help from city officials for its internal problems, you won't detect any hint of difficulties unless you reside in Chinatown for a considerable length of time.
I remember the first time I was three years old sick fluids intravenously, my in the mind very afraid, I tried break out of the hands of a nurse desperately cry, just don't want an injection, the mother comfort I said: "you are sick, an injection will good fast!"
But I still don't listen to, continue to cry, suddenly a few drops of tears in my head, I looked up and saw mom were tears on her face, I stopped crying, cry for the first time I saw mother, I don't want to let my mother sad, now think of mom is worried sad cry. I made an amazing move and I rolled up my sleeves and said to the nurse, "give me a needle!" You see! I'm acting like a man!
我记得我三岁那年生病，第一次要打吊针，我心里非常害怕，我使劲挣脱护士的手，拼命地哭喊，就是不想打针，妈妈安慰我说：“你生病了，打针就好的快了！”
可我还是不听，继续哭闹，突然几滴泪滴在我头上，我抬头看见妈妈脸上都是泪花，我反而不哭了，因为我第一次见妈妈哭，我不想让妈妈伤心，现在想起来妈妈是着急难过的哭了。我当时做出了一个惊人的举动，我挽起袖子对护士说：“给我扎针吧！”你看！我的行动像不像个小男子汉！

Saving water
As we all know water plays an important part in peoples daily lives. More and more water is needed in the modern society. So we should try to save it.
我们都知道，水在人们日常生活中，扮演重要的角色。现代生活中，我们需要越来越多的水，所以我们应该保护它。

A lot of rivers and lakes are polluted. Whats worse, many people are wasting water seriously.
现在很多地方缺水，今年年初在中国西南部就发生严重的干旱，特别是云南地区，数以万计的人们没有充足的水资源供日常使用。很多河流湖泊被污染，更严重的是，人们对水浪费严重。
In order to protect water, lets do something to fight against all kinds of pollution and waste of water.
为了保护水资源，让我们付出行动抵制水污染和浪费的行为吧。
Since I go to high school, I have many annoyances. On the one hand, I am under great pressure on my study, I need to take the exams every month, once I am falling behind other students, I will feel that I am not doing well. I always want to be the best, but things can’t go on my way. On the other hand, I don’t want to talk to my parents, if they ask me the questions, I will answer them with few words. I think they won’t understand me, so I am not willing to communicate with my parents. I know I am in the adolescence, my body grows fast, changes happen on me, my emotion is unstable. So I need to learn to adjust myself and get used to these changes. I need to open my heart and have less pressure.
打从我上高中起，我就有很多烦恼。一方面，我在学*方面面临很大的压力，我每个月都要参加很多的开始，一旦比别的学生落后，我就会觉得我做得不好。我总是想要成为第一名，但是事情并不总是按照我的意愿走。另一方面，我不想要和我父母交流，如果他们问我问题，我就三言两语搪塞他们。我觉得他们并不了解我，因此我不愿意和父母交流。我知道我处于青春期，我的身体长得很快，我身上发生了变化，情绪变得很不稳定。所以我学着去调节自己，适应这些变化。我需要打开心扉，减少压力。
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it. Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."
一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。 于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不要这么无情，要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情。”
Work and play do not contradict each other; in fact, they complement each other. As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions.
What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and watching movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load.
工作与娱乐并不互相冲突，事实上，它们之间的关系还相辅相成。有句格言说：「整日工作而没有休闲娱乐，会令人变得沉闷乏味。」被工作重担压得喘不过气来的生活，将使你一事无成，因为你将对一成不变的例行公事感到厌烦。由另一方面来说，适度的娱乐活动能提供各种管道，来宣泄你被压抑的情绪，减轻单调生活中的紧张与不悦。
放学之后，我最常做的休闲活动，便是慢跑与看电影。通常我并不特地拨出时间来做运动，但是我很重视学校的体育课。在操场上慢跑几圈，无疑地可以减轻一天的压力。在周末时，我都去看早场电影，享受视觉盛宴。如此一来，我将有如再生般的充沛活力，去面对下一星期的工作量。

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

One of the most interesting paradoxes in America today is that Harvard University, the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States, is now engaged in a serious debate about what a university should be, and whether it is measuring up.
Like the Roman Catholic Church and other ancient institutions, it is asking - still in private rather than in public - whether its past assumptions about faculty, authority, admissions, courses of study, are really relevant to the problems of the 1990s.
『Should Harvard or any other university be an intellectual sanctuary, apart from the political and social revolution of the age, or should it be a laboratory for experimentation with these political and social revolutions; or even an engine of the revolution? 』This is what is being discussed privately in the big clapboard houses of faculty members around the Harvard Yard.
The issue was defined by Waiter Lippmann, a distinguished Harvard graduate, several years ago. If the universities are to do their work, he said, they must be independent and they must be disinterested They are places to which men can turn for judgements which are unbiased by partisanship and special interest. 『Obviously, the moment the universities fall under political control, or under the control of private interests, or the moment they themselves take a hand in politics and the leadership of government, their value as independent and disinterested sources of judgement is impaired.』
如果我休息,我就会生锈If I Rest, I Will Rust
The significant1 words found on an old key ―"If I rest, I will rust"―would be an excellent motto for those who are lazy.
在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文――如果休息,我就会生锈。对于那些懒散的人来说,这是一句至理名言。
Even the most diligent person might adopt it as a reminder. If one allows his abilities to rest, duanwenw.com like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust, and, finally, cannot do the work required of them.
甚至最为勤勉的人也以此为座右铭:如果一个人有才能却不去运用它们,这些才能很快就会像废弃的钥匙一样锈迹斑斑,最终无法完成自己肩负的工作。
Those who wish to climb to great heights must constantly keep their abilities in use, so that they may unlock the doors to knowledge.
要想取得卓越的成就,就必须不断运用自身的才智,这样知识的大门才会向你敞开。
Diligence keeps the key that opens the treasury of achievement bright. If Hugh Miller, after working hard all day in a mine, duanwenw.com had devoted his evenings to rest and relaxation, he would never have become a famous geologist4. The famous mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have found the key to the science of mathematics if he had given his spare moments to idleness. If the young Scottish man, Ferguson, had allowed his busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of measuring the positions of the stars, he would never have become a distinguished astronomer ..
勤奋令开启成功宝库的钥匙恒久闪亮。如果休・米勒在采石场一整天的辛苦劳作后,将晚上的时光用于休息和消遣,他将不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。如果著名数学家爱德蒙・斯通在闲暇之时无所事事,又怎会发现开启数学之门的钥匙?如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时让他活跃的大脑休息放松,而不是计算星星的位置,就不会成为一名杰出的天文学家……
.Labor conquers all: not inconsistent or ill-directed labor, but faithful and unstopping daily effort, toward a well-directed purpose. Eternal diligence is the price of noble and enduring success.
劳动可以征服一切――当然,这里指的不是那些半途而废、方向错误的劳动,而是坚定执著、方向正确、日复一日的辛苦耕耘。只有坚持不懈的勤奋,才能确保卓越而持久的成功。
Once upon a time, a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the family's only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. Money was tight, and he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve, he saw that the child had pasted the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, "This is for you, Daddy!"
As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction.
But when he opened it, he found it was empty and again his anger flared. "Don't you know, young lady, " he said harshly, "when you give someone a present there's supposed to be something inside the package!"
The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said: "Daddy, it's not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full."
The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.
In a very real sense, each of us as human beings have been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God.
There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.
英语阅读：HappinessEquateswithFun?
I live in Hollywood. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.
Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful inpiduals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness".
But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children, profound loneliness.
The way people cling to the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free life equates happiness actually diminishes their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equated with happiness, then pain must be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the opposite is true: More times than not, things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very endeavors that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment, civic or charitable work, and self-improvement.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room‘s only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color of the rainbow. Grand old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man couldn‘t hear the band - he could see it in his mind‘s eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
英语阅读：IsPackingImportanttoYou?
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.
As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.
When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.
With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words… "PAID IN FULL".
How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? I trust you enjoyed this. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.
英语阅读：TheBabyEagle
Once upon a time there was a baby eagle living in a nest perched on a cliff overlooking a beautiful valley with waterfalls and streams, trees and lots of little animals, scurrying about enjoying their lives.
The baby eagle liked the nest. It was the only world he had ever known. It was warm and comfortable, had a great view, and even better, he had all the food and love and attention that a great mother eagle could provide. Many times each day the mother would swoop down from the sky and land in the nest and feed the baby eagle delicious morsels of food. She was like a god to him, he had no idea where she came from or how she worked her magic.
The baby eagle was hungry all the time, but the mother eagle would always come just in time with the food and love and attention he craved. The baby eagle grew strong. His vision grew very sharp. He felt good all the time.
Until one day, the mother stopped coming to the nest.
The baby eagle was hungry. "I'm sure to die," said the baby eagle, all the time.
"Very soon, death is coming," he cried, with tears streaming down his face. Over and over. But there was no one there to hear him.
Then one day the mother eagle appeared at the top of the mountain cliff, with a big bowl of delicious food and she looked down at her baby. The baby looked up at the mother and cried "Why did you abandon me? I'm going to die any minute. How could you do this to me?"
The mother said, "Here is some very tasty and nourishing food, all you have to do is come get it."
"Come get it!" said the baby, with much anger. "How?"
The mother flew away.
The baby cried and cried and cried.
A few days later, "I'm going to end it all," he said. "I give up. It is time for me to die."
He didn't know his mother was nearby. She swooped down to the nest with his last meal.
"Eat this, it's your last meal," she said.
The baby cried, but he ate and whined and whined about what a bad mother she was.
"You're a terrible mother," he said. Then she pushed him out of the nest.
He fell.
Head first.
Picked up speed.
Faster and faster.
He screamed. "I'm dying I'm dying," he cried. He picked up more speed.
He looked up at his mother. "How could you do this to me?"
He looked down.
The ground rushed closer, faster and faster. He could visualize his own death so clearly, coming so soon, and cried and whined and complained. "This isn't fair!" he screamed.
Something strange happens.
The air caught behind his arms and they snapped away from his body, with a feeling unlike anything he had ever experienced. He looked down and saw the sky. He wasn't moving towards the ground anymore, his eyes were pointed up at the sun.
"Huh?" he said. "What is going on here!"
"You're flying," his mother said.
"This is fun!" laughed the baby eagle, as he soared and ped and swooped.
"Yes it is!" said the mother.

面朝南方Facing South
An old friend used to say to me, "When you are thinking of buying a new house, go and see it on a cloudy day. If you like it then, you need not doubt about liking it in better weather."
一个老朋友曾经告诉我:"当你考虑买一套新房时,就趁阴天的时候过去看房吧。因为如果那时你喜欢它的话,那么在天气晴朗的日子里你一定也会喜欢它。
We all enjoy the sun. The sun is the source of heat and life to the earth. Yet people are still to be found who deliberately shut out the sun from their rooms, and are unmindful of the Italian saying that where the sun does not go the doctor does. In this country, especially, we know the value of "facing south".
"我们都喜欢阳光。太阳是地球上热量与生命的来源。然而,我们仍然发现有些人总是故意关上门,将阳光挡在门外,他们忽略了一句意大利谚语"日光不上门,医生便上门"。在这个国家里,我们都知道"面朝南方"的重要性。
Are we not like houses? We have eyes instead of windows, but we face south, north, east, or west. Who does not know the men and the women facing north? Hard and cold, never letting a ray of sun-shine into their souls. They stand away from all the cheers and warmth of our poor humanity. They are the people who pour cold water on all our enthusiasms, have no faith in human nature, no sympathy with human sufferings.
我们不就像是房子吗?只不过我们没有窗户,但是我们拥有眼睛,我们可以选择面朝各个方向。我们都知道那些面朝北方的人们是怎样的。他们顽固而冷酷,从不让一丝阳光照进他们的心灵。他们总是躲在角落里,拒绝人性的欢乐与温暖。他们总是浇灭旁人热情的火焰,不相信人性,冷眼看待他人的痛苦。
You must know such people. They are not rich people, perfectly healthy, or people without sorrows. On the contrary, they have had a full measure of misfortune. But they have never changed their outlooks4 on life, in their faith in all things working together for good, in their belief that they are in this world to help where help is needed. What a consolation5 such people are! We go to them in entire confidence. We leave them the better and the brighter, with a firmer step, and the determination to win through the difficulties. They are "facing south".
你必定也认识这样一种人:他们不是有钱人,不是身体特别健全的人,也不是无忧无虑的人。相反,他们的生活中充满了不幸。但他们从不改变对生活的态度,在他们看来,所有的事情都在朝着好的方向发展,他们坚持帮助那些需要帮助的人。他们能给人带来极大的安慰!我们满怀信心地靠*他们,离开他们的时候变得更加乐观和开朗,我们的`脚步会变得更为坚定,战胜困难的决心也会更大。他们就是"面朝南方"的人。

——青春励志小短文(5)份
“阳光总在风雨后，乌去上有晴空，珍惜所有的感动，每一份希望在你手中；阳光总在风雨后，请相信有彩虹。。。”每次听到这首歌，我内心必有一丝悸动，让我感触非常深！
算算自己踏足社会已经五、六年了，在经历了多种变故之后，觉得自己仿佛像是经历了多样化的.各种人生姿态！
其实社会是锻造一个人最好的熔炉！
每个人的人生路上几乎都不可避免地会遭到挫折、失败，经受孤立和冷遇；蒙受误解和困惑。在此关键时刻，人需要安慰、温暖、体贴和关怀的，这种关怀具有无穷的力量，它能把绝望变成希望，把人从歧路引上正路，让人抖擞精神重新振作起来，它就是风雨过后冉冉升起的太阳照耀出的缕缕光辉！
所以要记住“阳光总在风雨后，风雨过后是彩虹！”这也是一种信念，每一个成功者都会有一个坚定的信念支撑着，信念给人以勇气，给人以动力，促使人踏踏实实，持之以恒地奋斗！若是没有信念，遇到艰难险阻时，可能就真的过不去了。就像天空没有了颜色，只有漆黑一片，看不到光明！
要有希望，不要沮丧，因为希望就在你的手中；
要换一种思路，不要怨天尤人，因为风雨过后是彩虹；
上帝为你关上一扇门，必会为你打开一扇窗，厄运也只是一道坎，走不过就会长陷泥淖，走过了就是阳光！
如果你为错过了太阳而哭泣，你还将错过星星！
所以给自己一个坚持的信念，阳光总在风雨后，它会一直陪伴在每个人的身边！
成长就是这样，痛并快乐着。你得接受这个世界带给你的所有伤害，然后无所谓惧的长大。
成长是一段稚心的疼痛，不计后果的那段，叫做青春。
如果有一天，让你心动的再也感动不了你，让你愤怒的再也激怒不了你，让你悲伤的再也不能让你流泪，你便知道这时光，这生活给了你什么，你为了成长，付出了什么。
所谓成长，就是一个人跌跌撞撞的把手里的一切交给下一个接棒的自己。
太多的事，慢慢地就不能做了，太多的人，渐渐地就不见了，成长似乎是一个丢失的过程。
直到很多年后，当我们经历了成长的阵痛，爱情的变故，走过千山万水后，才会幡然醒悟，那么多年的时光只是上天赐予你的一场美梦，为了支撑你此后坚强地走完这冗长的一生。
一生中，总有那么一段时间，需要你自己走，自己扛。不要感觉害怕，不要感觉孤单，这只不过是成长的代价。
成长就是：渐渐温柔，克制，朴素，不怨不问不记，安静中渐渐体会生命盛大。
好好地过。成长必然充斥了生命的创痛，我们还可以肩并肩寻找幸福就已足够。
有一天你将破蛹而出，成长得比人们期待的还要美丽，但这个过程会很痛，会很辛苦，有时候还会觉得灰心。面对着汹涌而来的现实觉得自己渺小无力。但这，也是生命的一部分。
生活真是有趣：如果你只接受最好的，你经常会得到最好的。
有一个人经常出差，经常买不到对号入坐的车票。可是无论长途短途，无论车上多挤，他总能找到座位。
他的办法其实很简单，就是耐心地一节车厢一节车厢找过去。这个办法听上去似乎并不高明，但却很管用。每次，他都做好了从第一节车厢走到最后一节车厢的准备，可是每次他都用不着走到最后就会发现空位。他说，这是因为像他这样锲而不舍找座位的乘客实在不多。经常是在他落座的车厢里尚余若干座位，而在其
他车厢的过道和车厢接头处，居然人满为患。他说，大多数乘客轻易就被一两节车厢拥挤的表面现象迷惑了，不大细想在数十次停靠之中，从火车十几个车门上上下下的流动中蕴藏着不少提供座位的机遇;即使想到了，他们也没有那一份寻找的耐心。眼前一方小小立足之地很容易让大多数人满足，为了一两个座位背负着行囊挤来挤去有些人也觉得不值。他们还担心万一找不到座位，回头连个好好站着的地方也没有了。与生活中一些安于现状不思进取害怕失败的人，永远只能滞留在没有成功的起点上一样，这些不愿主动找座位的乘客大多只能在上车时最初的落脚之处一直站到下车。
自信、执着、富有远见、勤于实践，会让你握有一张人生之旅永远的坐票。
篇1：《境由心生》
一个人心境好坏与否，和他的心态有直接的关联，欲望决定着需求，需求决定着贪心，贪心决定着心境，心境来自于心态，心境影响着人际环境，环境跟心境本没有直接的的关系，在于不同的人是用常态的或非常态的心去扑捉去感受的。
人之所以活的累，有挥之不去的烦恼，与自己执拗脱不了干系。试想，当你衣食无忧的时候，还有人在严寒酷暑下为生计拼命奔波，当你面临穷困潦倒一无所有的时候，你还有健康的体魄，在为你等待时机东山再起。也有人住着偌大的别墅，开着豪华名车，他的心境也不一定很宽敞，生活往往是这样，当你得到很多的时候，其实，你是用另一种失去作为代价的。
曾一度有过一段医院的经历，在重症病房外要么是大喜要么是大悲，在病人命悬一线时，有了生的希望时，亲人是欣喜若狂的，他们觉得亲人活着，就已经是老天在眷顾他们了，只要有生命，已经是别无所求，与生死较量过的人，还有什么苦不能吃什么难不能过呢。见证过与死神做较量的残酷，你会觉得什么都是过眼烟云。
还有一对农村的夫妻因无钱看病，在医院呆了好长时间，医生天天催做手术，他每天给医院说好话，一张病床对他是奢侈的，是感激涕零的，以至于忘了自己重病在身的伤痛，现实是残酷的，谁也抗拒不了命运。
一个健康心态的人是快乐的知足的，一本好的书，一句话，一个善意的微笑。一件廉价的物品，一份简单的生活，都能给她带来不一样的感动，她带给你是禅意的心境。
生活中我们有很多的不如意，也有很多的无奈，我们能做的是，站在最好的角度用最理智的方法去处理最糟糕的事情，以*和的心态去倾听这个世界的浮躁，以你悠然而优雅的姿态补缺生活中的残缺美，用你的绵延细语温润那些千疮百孔的灵魂，用你的馨香如兰渲染这个*淡如水的生活，心静自然清，悠然自然得。
篇2：生命的价值
不要让昨日的沮丧令明天的梦想黯然失色!
在一次讨论会上，一位著名的演说家没讲一句开场白，手里却高举着一张20美元的.钞票。面对会议室里的200个人，他问："谁要这20美元?"一只只手举了起来。他接着说："我打算把这20美元送给你们中的一位，但在这之前，请准许我做一件事。"他说着将钞票揉成一团，然后问："谁还要?"仍有人举起手来。他又说："那么，假如我这样做又会怎么样呢?"他把钞票扔到地上，又踏上一只脚，并且用脚碾它。尔后他拾起钞票，钞票已变得又脏又皱。"现在谁还要?"还是有人举起手来。"朋友们，你们已经上了一堂很有意义的课。无论我如何对待那张钞票，你们还是想要它，因为它并没贬值，它依旧值20美元。
人生路上，我们会无数次被自己的决定或碰到 的逆境击倒、欺凌甚至碾得粉身碎骨。我们觉得自己似乎一文不值。但无论发生什么，或将要发生什么，在上帝的眼中，你们永远不会丧失价值。在他看来，肮脏或洁净，衣着齐整或不齐整，你们依然是无价之宝。"
生命的价值不依赖我们的所作所为，也不仰仗我们结交的人物，而是取决于我们本身!我们是独特的--永远不要忘记这一点!
篇3：昂起头来真美
别看它是一条黑母牛，牛奶一样是白的。
珍妮是个总爱低着头的小女孩，她一直觉得自己长得不够漂亮。有一天，她到饰物店去买了只绿色蝴蝶结，店主不断赞美她戴上蝴蝶结挺漂亮，珍妮虽不信，但是挺高兴，不由昂起了头，急于让大家看看，出门与人撞了一下都没在意。珍妮走进教室，迎面碰上了她的老师，"珍妮，你昂起头来真美!"老师爱抚地拍拍她的肩说。
那一天，她得到了许多人的赞美。她想一定是蝴蝶结的功劳，可往镜前一照，头上根本就没有蝴蝶结，一定是出饰物店时与人一碰弄丢了。自信原本就是一种美丽，而很多人却因为太在意外表而失去很多快乐。
无论是贫穷还是富有，无论是貌若天仙，还是相貌**，只要你昂起头来，快乐会使你变得可爱--人人都喜欢的那种可爱。
篇4：阴影是条纸龙
人生中，经常有无数来自外部的打击，但这些打击究竟会对你产生怎样的影响，最终决定权在你手中。
祖父用纸给我做过一条长龙。长龙腹腔的空隙仅仅只能容纳几只蝗虫，投放进去，它们都在里面死了，无一幸免!祖父说："蝗虫性子太躁，除了挣扎，它们没想过用嘴巴去咬破长龙，也不知道一直向前可以从另一端爬出来。因而，尽管它有铁钳般的嘴壳和锯齿一般的大腿，也无济于事。"当祖父把几只同样大小的青虫从龙头放进去，然后关上龙头，奇迹出现了：仅仅几分钟，小青虫们就一一地从龙尾爬了出来。
命运一直藏匿在我们的思想里。许多人走不出人生各个不同阶段或大或小的阴影，并非因为他们天生的个人条件比别人要差多远，而是因为他们没有思想要将阴影纸龙咬破，也没有耐心慢慢地找准一个方向，一步步地向前，直到眼前出现新的洞天。
亘古不变的情真的存在吗?或许有，或许没有。
流年转换，容颜易老，数着时光不变的痴心，一天一天等下去，看着黄昏日落，再到曙光迎接，听着潮涨潮落，再到海水枯竭，赏着花开花谢，再到梦飞飞，情洒洒。爱你，是我做过最好的事，可是，爱我，却让你有撕心裂肺般的疼痛。
泪痕勾勒成遗憾，回忆装饰着伤感，明知道，情字累人，依旧学不会放手。也曾倾城，倾力，倾尽所有想换你一笑欢颜，只是，所付出的一切给你带来的除了伤，还是伤。或许，很遗憾，也很庆幸，是你教会了我如何去爱，只可惜，我不懂如何去爱别人。因为我始终相信，被时光遗忘的人没有爱的心，就如我。
很多时候，我们又蓦然发现，心情好像一种极柔弱的东西，经常会因了自然界的风花雪月或是人世间的阴晴冷暖，而剧烈的波动着，蛛丝般震颤飘荡，无所依傍。
美丽的心情，是难能可贵的无价之宝。快乐的时候，心情恣意飞扬舞动，自信而快活，即便在黑夜中徜徉，也会绽放出如花笑颜;而一旦失却了心境的美好，陷入凄苦的境地，霎时间天昏地暗，即使身在睡梦里，也会洒落泪滴数行。
心情，它柔软而娇贵，是我们生命中不可或缺的重要组成部分。即便健康与美貌皆备，如若没有一份美丽的心情，也犹如在沙土上建高塔，清水里捞月亮，一切都无从谈起。
心情，它与我们形影不离，或许，它比影子的追随还要固守坚实得多。当光慢慢消失的时候，影子就会躲藏在深深的黑暗之中，寻不见形迹。只有我们的心情，会始终如一地牢牢粘附在胸膛中最隐秘的地方，坚定不移地陪伴着我们，绝不会轻言离弃。
心情，是心田这片土地酝酿出的植物。只要我们的心脏没有停止跳动，心情就播洒着，活跃着，生长着，更迭着，强有力地制约着我们的生存状态。在我们的一生当中，可能没有爱情，没有自由，没有健康，没有财富，却独独不会缺少心情的存在。
很多时候，我们会陷进失落的国度，没有来由地感到心烦意乱……
很多时候，我们会感觉到一种无力的倦怠正一步一步向我们逼*……
