Don’t allow your troubles to get the best of you. Instead, allow those troubles to make the best of you.
Don’t tire yourself out fighting against the challenges. Instead, find new energy by embracing1 those challenges and working through them to create real value.
Always remind yourself that discour-agement is nothing more than a response you’ve chosen. When you find that you’ve chosen to let it be, you can just as surely choose to let it go.
Replace discouragement with determin-ation. It is your life’s energy, and you can point it in whatever direction you choose. Your most powerful response is not based only on what has already happened. Your most powerful response also takes into account what you wish to make happen next.
Look forward, and envision in great detail the future you desire. Then gather all your energy, and step forward to make it be.
不要被煩惱擊敗,相反,要讓這些煩惱磨練出更優(yōu)秀的你。
不要因與挑戰(zhàn)作斗爭(zhēng)而身心疲憊,相反,要在接受挑戰(zhàn)、戰(zhàn)勝挑戰(zhàn)的過(guò)程中找到活力去創(chuàng)造真正的價(jià)值。
時(shí)常提醒自己,氣餒只不過(guò)是你自己的選擇。當(dāng)你發(fā)現(xiàn)是你選擇了氣餒,你當(dāng)然也可以選擇不這樣。
用決心消除氣餒,這就是你生命的活力,是放之四海而皆準(zhǔn)的。你最有力的反應(yīng)不僅僅受所發(fā)生的事情的影響,而且與你期待發(fā)生的事情有一定關(guān)聯(lián)。
向前看,詳盡地展望你所期盼的未來(lái)。然后集中你所有的精力,努力前進(jìn),讓夢(mèng)想成真。
no young man believes he shall ever die. it was a saying of my brother's, and a fine one. there is a feeling of eternity in youth, which makes us amend for everything. to be young is to be as one of the immortal gods. one half of time indeed is flown-the other half remains in store for us with all its countletreasures; for there is no line drawn, and we see no limit to our hopes and wishes. we make the coming age our own-
the vast, the unbounded prospect lies before us.
death. old age. are words without a meaning. that paby us like the idea air which we regard not. others may have undergone, or may still be liable to them-we "bear a charmed life“, which laughs to scorn all such sickly fancies. as in setting out on delightful journey, we strain our eager gaze forward-
bidding the lovely scenes at distance hail!
and see no end to the landscape, new objects presenting themselves as we advance; so, in the commencement of life, we set no bounds to our inclinations. nor to the unrestricted opportunities of gratifying them. we have as yet found no obstacle, no disposition to flag; and it seems that we can go on so forever. we look round in a new world, full of life, and motion, and ceaseleprogress; and feel in ourselves all the vigor and spirit to keep pace with it, and do not foresee from any present symptoms how we shall be left behind in the natural course of things, decline into old age, and drop into the grave. it is the simplicity, and as it were abstractedneof our feelings in youth, that (so to speak) identifies us with nature, and (our experience being slight and our passions strong) deludes us into a belief of being immortal like it. our short-lives connection with existence we fondly flatter ourselves, is an indissoluble and lasting union-a honeymoon that knows neither coldness, jar, nor separation. as infants smile and sleep, we are rocked in the cradle of our wayward fancies, and lulled into security by the roar of the universe around us0we quaff the cup of life with eager haste without draining it, instead of which it only overflows the more-objects prearound us, filling the mind with their magnitude and with the strong of desires that wait upon them, so that we have no room for the thoughts of death.
you will live every single day of your life with absolute passion, and you will show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take.
you will focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. you will never succumb to challenges of hardships.
you will never waver in your pursuit of excellence. after all,you are the best, and you deserve the best! as your coach and friend, i can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you, but the key to that door is in your hand. you must do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan, you must never quit, you must never fear. i know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it, and you will succeed!
now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited, and yell it out:
i must do it! i can do it! i will do it! i will succeed!
It is the road you take that decides your destiny but not your destiny that decides the road you take.
The question is: Are you satisfied with who you are? Are you doing what you are capable of doing? Do you get excited about what you are going to do when you get up in the morning? It is high time you asked these questions that reflect the truth about your life. More often than not we have the ability to achieve much greater things, but we get caught in the average things in life and waste our potential. Each one of us has immense ability. But most of us fail to use it. Why?
1. There is no exact purpose for your life.
2. You underestimate yourself.
3. You are too busy to think about any-thing.
4. You are in a comfortable zone.
5. You fear failure.
Ask yourself, what difference am I making in the lives of others? Would you be happy and satisfied with what you have achieved? Are you following your passion? You must find what you love and what gives you fulfillment.
Don’t be afraid to make a new beginning. Go deep and explore the possibilities. As you go deeper and deeper, you begin to add meaning to your life.
你所走的路決定你的命運(yùn),而不是你的命運(yùn)決定你應(yīng)該走什么樣的路。
問(wèn)題來(lái)了,你滿足于你的現(xiàn)狀嗎?你正在做自己力所能及的事嗎?每天起床后,你會(huì)對(duì)自己要去做的事感到興奮嗎?英語(yǔ)短文是時(shí)候問(wèn)問(wèn)這些能反映自己真實(shí)情況的問(wèn)題了。我們總是有機(jī)會(huì)獲得更大的成功的,但是卻又常常被日?，嵤滤?從而白白浪費(fèi)了自己的潛力。每個(gè)人的能力都很強(qiáng),但是我們卻常常無(wú)法正確利用它。為什么呢?
1. 生活沒(méi)有明確的目標(biāo)
2. 低估自己
3. 忙到?jīng)]時(shí)間思考
4. 安于現(xiàn)狀。
5. 害怕失敗。
自問(wèn)一下,我給別人的生活帶來(lái)了什么改變嗎?你對(duì)自己的成就感到快樂(lè)和滿意嗎?你正充滿激情嗎?你必須找到你所愛(ài)的和能給你帶來(lái)滿足感的事物。
不要害怕重新起跑。更深入地去發(fā)現(xiàn)可能性。當(dāng)你對(duì)生活理解加深的時(shí)候,你就給生活增添了意義。
It is not easy to think positive thoughts when the world around you appears to be so negative。 In fact， it can be as difficult as anything you’ve ever done。 However， it is absolutely possible to fill your mind with positive thoughts no matter what the environment is。 Doing so makes you powerful like nothing else can。
To think positively is to alignyourselfwith1 the truth that you’re immersed2 in limitless， growing abundance。 To think positively is to pleasantly accept that your life is full of meaningful and unique achievements。
Instead of placing a judgement on your situation， apply your most positive purposes to that situation。 Instead of seeing the world as negative， see yourself as a powerful agent of the positive possibilities。
If you find yourself giving in to negativity， you are selling yourself short。 The moment you feel the slightest pain of a negative thought， stop and remind yourself how powerful you are。 Do the intentional work of keeping your thoughts positive。 Because whatever you always think is where your life will surely and steadily go。

樂(lè)觀地思考就是在證明一個(gè)事實(shí)――你的生活正處于日益豐盈的狀態(tài)。樂(lè)觀地思考也是在欣然理解一個(gè)事實(shí)――你的生活充滿著意義深遠(yuǎn)、與眾不一樣的成就。

如果你發(fā)現(xiàn)自我正向消極屈服，那么你就是在輕視自我。在你感受到消極思想所帶來(lái)的一絲疼痛的那一刻，停下來(lái)吧，提醒自我你是多么強(qiáng)大。做一些有利于塑造進(jìn)取思想的事情，因?yàn)槟愕乃枷胝I(lǐng)著你生活穩(wěn)步前行的方向。
Disabled people are normal people, except that they can not see as much as we can, or they can not walk as fast as we can. Since they can not see as much, or they can not walk as fast, they need our help.
We can immediately do a long list of ways in which we can help them, for instance, Each student finds some one to help, in the neighborhood or the community. You can help them to cross the road. You can help pushing their wheel chairs. l Set up kind of organization. Collect some money. Use this money to help them, to buy them daily necessities, to help their children finish school. As they are disabled, it is more difficult for them to earn as much as normal people do. That’s why they usually need help in physical things. As they are disabled, they feel lonely. They think they are not as good as normal people. They easily become lonely, sad, disappointed. They easily lose hope of life. They need help more in spiritual things. They need people to chat with. They need people to encourage them to continue their lives. They need people to get rid of prejudices over them. Now, I would suggest, do whatever we can to help them. We can donate our pocket money. We can walk up to help the disabled to cross the street. We can make friends with the disabled by visiting them, by calling them, by emailing them, by whatever means. However, don’t always think we are better than the disabled. As normal people, we always make normal mistakes.
We take it for granted that we can see things while the blind can not. If you know the story about Helen Keller, you will understand why you are wrong. The blind can not see with their bare eyes, but they can see better with their ears. They can see better with their hands. So, help the disabled while you treat them like normal people. And they are normal people!

when i was seven, i started learning english. i played games and sang english songs with other children. sometimes, i watched english cartoons. it's funny. then i discovered the beauty of the language, and began my colorful dream in the english world.
i hope i can travel around the world someday. i want to go to america to visit washington, because my cousin is over there. of course, i want to go to london too, because england is where english language developed. if i can ride my bike in cambridge university, i will be very happy.
i hope i can speak english with everyone in the world. also i'll introduce china to them, such as the great wall, and the gardens in suzhou. i will teaching people of the world about the beautiful language of our country.
i like the english language. to learn english is wonderful. i once wanted to be an english teacher . i also like chinese literature. when i was really young, i was able to remember lots of poems. i also wanted to be a teacher of chinese. now i think that both of my dreams can come true: i will be able to use english to teach foreign friends chinese and share chinese culture with them. so that more and more people will be able to get to know the 5000 years' history culture, and the prosperity of our great china.
my future is not a dream.
We have only one earth.But now,the environment becomes worse and worse.As you know,there's no enough clean water for people.So many of them lose their lives because of water.In a lot of countries,people have to cut trees for living.So there's nothing to keep water from running away.Also we have polluted the land,the river and the air.Some people may say:we are the masters of nature.Now the "master" seems to be confronted with problems that are far beyond his control.
the holes of the ozone layer make the earth less suitable to live for some creatures including human beings.Facing all the disasters made by ourselves,we have the responsibility to deal with the problem.
we must do something useful to protect our environment.We can plant trees and take good care of them.We can save the water and ask our parents to do so.We can't throw any litter onto the ground and we should collect them for recycling.If we take good care of our earth today,it will be more beautiful tomorrow.
我們只有一個(gè)地球.但是現(xiàn)在,環(huán)境變得越來(lái)越糟.如你所知,也沒(méi)有足夠的清潔飲水的人.所以許多人失去了他們的生命,因?yàn)樗?在很多國(guó)家,人們不得不砍樹(shù)的生活.所以沒(méi)有什么能阻止水的流失.我們還污染了土地,河流和空氣.有些人可能會(huì)說(shuō)：我們是自然的主人.現(xiàn)在的“主人”似乎面臨的問(wèn)題遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出他的控制。
臭氧層的空洞使得地球不再適宜于某些生物包括人類(lèi)生活.面對(duì)著自己造成的災(zāi)難,我們有責(zé)任來(lái)處理這個(gè)問(wèn)題。
我們必須做些什么來(lái)保護(hù)環(huán)境.我們可以種樹(shù),好好照顧他們.我們可以節(jié)約用水,并要求我們的父母這樣做.我們不能把垃圾丟在地上,我們應(yīng)該收集回收.如果我們好好照顧我們的地球上,這將是更加美好的明天。
We all live in this world.We maybe feel unlucky sometimes.But, as you know, in this world there have been a lot of people who can't talk, walk, speak, listen to and see anything.
The invalid need our concerns.If you see an invalid person,you should not just watch him all the time. You can show your respect to him. Let him feel the good of the world.
Our government should put benefits into its policy that can make the invalid happier. The invalid need our help. Please don't grudge your smile .You can keep it on you face.
If we concern more of the invaild, our society will become more and more friendly.Violence will cease.We'll live safely.
In the State of Zheng. There was a man who wanted to go into town to buy a pair of new shoes.
鄭國(guó)，有個(gè)人想去城里買(mǎi)一雙新鞋子。
Before leaving home, he measured his foot with a piece of straw for size. After he arrived at the town and entered a shoe shop, he put his hand into his pocket only to find that in his haste he had left the measurement at home. Thereupon, he turned round and started for home. But when he rushed back to the shoeshop with the measurement, the shop had closed. As a result, he had suanwenw busied himself for nothing.
他離家前先用一根稻草量了自己的腳，把他當(dāng)作尺碼。他到了城里，走進(jìn)鞋店，伸手摸口袋，從發(fā)現(xiàn)因?yàn)榧敝s路，把尺碼忘在家里了。于是，他轉(zhuǎn)身就往家里跑?？墒堑人弥叽a趕回鞋店的時(shí)候，店已經(jīng)關(guān)門(mén)了。結(jié)果，他白忙了一陣子，還是沒(méi)有買(mǎi)到鞋子。
Later, someone asked him:” Were you buying shoes for yourself or for others? ”
后來(lái)，有人問(wèn)他：“你是給自己買(mǎi)鞋，還是給別人買(mǎi)鞋?”
He answered:” For myself.”
他回答說(shuō)：“是給我自己。
Someone else asked him:” Don’t you have your feet on yourself? You need only to Try on shoes with your feet to get the right size. Why did you go back home to fetch the measurement? “
別人又問(wèn)他：“腳不是長(zhǎng)在你自己身上嗎?英語(yǔ)小短文只要用你的腳去試試鞋子的大小，不就可以了嗎?為什么還要回家去拿尺碼呢?“
The man of Zheng insisted:” I would rather trust the measurement than my own feet.”
那個(gè)鄭國(guó)人堅(jiān)持說(shuō)：“我寧愿相信尺碼，也不相信自己的腳?！?/p>
