第一篇：英文欣赏--假如生活欺骗了你+乔布斯演讲

.If life cheats you，don''t be disappointed and worried.Calmness is needed in melancholy days.Believe that pleasantness is coming.Long for the bright future though you are unhappy.All will pass by and everything will be over.Past things will be pleasant memories.—［Russia］Alesander Pushkin 假如生活欺骗了你，不要悲伤，不要心急。阴郁的日子需要镇静。相信吧，那愉快的日子即将来临。心永远憧憬着未来，尽管你现在常常是阴沉的。一切都是瞬息，一切都会过去，而过去了的，将会变成亲切的怀念。———［俄］普希金 Stay hungry, stay foolish Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish－－2005斯坦福大学05年毕业演讲

Thank you.I'm honored to be with you today for your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world.Truth be told, I never graduated from college, and this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation.Today, I want to tell you three stories from my life.That's it.No big deal.Just three stories.The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first six months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit.So why did I drop out? It started before I was born.My biological mother was a young, unwed graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption.She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife--except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl.So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking, “We've got an unexpected baby boy;do you want him?” They said, “Of course.” My biological mother found out later that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school.She refused to sign the final adoption papers.She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would go to college.This was the start in my life.And 17 years later I did go to college.But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition.After six months, I couldn't see the value in it.I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out.And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life.So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out okay.It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made.The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked far more interesting.It wasn't all romantic.I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms.I returned coke bottles for the five cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple.I loved it.And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on.Let me give you one example: Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country.Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed.Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this.I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great.It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life.But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me.And we designed it all into the Mac.It was the first computer with beautiful typography.If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the “Mac” would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts.And since Windows just copied the Mac, it's likely that no personal computer would have them.If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on that calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do.Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college.But it was very, very clear looking backwards 10 years later.Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward;you can only connect them looking backwards.So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.You have to trust in something--your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever--because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.My second story is about love and loss.I was lucky--I found what I loved to do early in life.Woz1 and I started Apple in my parents' garage when I was 20.We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a two billion dollar company with over 4000 employees.We'd just released our finest creation--the Macintosh--a year earlier, and I had just turned 30.And then I got fired.How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well.But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out.When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him.And so at 30, I was out.And very publicly out.What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.I really didn't know what to do for a few months.I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down--that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me.I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly.I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley.But something slowly began to dawn on me: I still loved what I did.The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit.I had been rejected, but I was still in love.And so I decided to start over.I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything.It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife.Pixar went on to create the world's first computer-animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world.In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, and I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance.And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple.It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.Sometime life--Sometimes life going to hit you in the head with a brick.Don't lose faith.I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.You've got to find what you love.And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven't found it yet, keep looking--and don't settle.As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.And like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.So keep looking--don't settle.My third story is about death.When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I've looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.Because almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.You are already naked.There is no reason not to follow your heart.About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer.I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas.I didn't even know what a pancreas was.The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months.My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for “prepare to die.” It means to try and tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months.It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family.It means to say your goodbyes.I lived with that diagnosis all day.Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor.I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery.I had the surgery and, thankfully, I'm fine now.This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades.Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept: No one wants to die.Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there.And yet death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it.And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life.It's Life's change agent.It clears out the old to make way for the new.Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Sorry to be so dramatic, but it's quite true.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.Don't be trapped by dogma--which is living with the results of other people's thinking.Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice.And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.They somehow already know what you truly want to become.Everything else is secondary.When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the “bibles” of my generation.It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch.This was in the late 60s, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and Polaroid cameras.It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along.It was idealistic, overflowing with neat tools and great notions.Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue.It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age.On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous.Beneath it were the words: “Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.” It was their farewell message as they signed off.Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.And I've always wished that for myself.And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.Stay Hungry.Stay Foolish.Thank you all very much.

第三篇：《假如生活欺骗了你》赏析

《假如生活欺骗了你》赏析

该诗写于１８２５年，正是诗人流放南俄敖德萨同当地总督发生冲突后，被押送到其父亲的领地米哈伊洛夫斯科耶村幽禁期间所作。从１８２４年８月至１８２６年９月，这是一段极为孤独寂寞的生活。面对１２月党人起义前后剧烈动荡的社会风云，普希金不仅同火热的斗争相隔绝，而且与众多亲密无间的挚友亲朋相分离。幸亏夜晚，有终生挚爱的奶妈相陪伴，讲故事为他消愁解闷；白天，到集市上去，与纯朴的农人为友，和他们谈话，听他们唱歌。孤寂之中，除了读书、写作，邻近庄园奥西波娃一家也给诗人愁闷的幽禁生活带来了一片温馨和慰藉。这首诗就是为奥西波娃１５岁的女儿姬姬所写的，题写在她的纪念册上。

普希金自言，要“用诗歌唤起人们善良的感情”，别林斯基也曾说过：“普希金天性是可亲可爱的人，他是诚心诚意愿意向每一个他觉得是‘人’的人伸手的„„他内心有着许多赤子似的和善、温良和柔顺的成分。”因而“在普希金的任何感情中永远有一些特别高贵的、温和的、柔情的、馥郁的、优雅的东西。”《假如生活欺骗了你》这首诗就典型地体现了这种思想特征。该诗以一个假设句破题，劈头就是一个“假如”，此时２６岁的普希金，面对的是一个纯真的女孩，他宛如一位饱经风霜而又无比温厚的长者，仿佛生怕碰伤这棵稚嫩的幼苗，于是从未来着笔，使用一种带有预言的口吻叮咛、勉励涉世未深的少女，如果出现这种偶然„„实际上，这个对于无知的对话者所作的带有推测性假定意义的假说，正是变幻莫测的人生中的一种必然现象，即生活中不可能没悲伤、烦恼，但是你要克制、忍耐，因为还有一个“欢乐的日子”就要来临。这欢乐是针对悲伤而言的，不是现在时，而是属于未来的。紧跟其后，在第二个诗节中，诗人进一步指出，这未来，并非现实生活中，漫漫长夜之后，遥远的明天，而是心灵生活中的未来，这就引出了下面的富有深刻哲理的诗句：“转眼间一切都会过去，／而过去了的，将会变得可亲。”显然，在这里，诗人并未一般地开出常人司空见惯的用时间医治心灵创伤的这贴药方，而是要人面向内心世界，放眼于未来，实行一种自我精神调节法，究其实，这是一种情绪的转换，它可以是在一瞬之间完成，这就是要用希望去救治现实的痛苦。这同现代心理医生的看法可以说是不谋而合，然而，普希金毕竟不是心理学家，而是诗人。他进一步指出，痛苦一旦过去，人就会更加成熟，对于成熟的人来说，这过去了的，即便是痛苦，也会成为人生的一段标志，而令人感到无比亲切。保持对生活的信心，即使在逆境之中，不要陷入绝望而不能自拔，正所谓苍茫人世，短暂人生，期骥美好，追忆亦美好矣，这不正是离群索居、寂寥生涯中，诗人悟出的深刻生活哲理吗？这里没有一丝一毫宿命论的蛛丝马迹，真诚、善良，乐观向上的人生态度，加上亲切自然而又热情深沉的语调，诗歌朴素、流畅，言简意深，耐人回味。

与普希金早期引吭高歌赞颂自由，嬉笑怒骂，讽刺权贵，批判专制的抒情诗不同，这首小诗，明显表现出诗人后期抒情诗创作趋向含蓄、富于哲理的特点。用普希金自己的话说：“从１８２５年开始，他走上了‘现实的诗人’的道路。”这首诗即是一个佐证。

第四篇：《假如生活欺骗了你》读书笔记

最近，我读了一篇精简的小诗—《假如生活欺骗了你》，这首诗虽然简短，却蕴含着令人受益终生的道理。

《假如生活欺骗了你》由俄国着名诗人普希金所作，当时作者被流放，过着凄离悲凉的生活，现实令他倍感愁苦，此时此刻，一个小女孩的玩耍中流露出的童真与善良，如一把钥匙，打开了作者紧锁的心门。普希金的心中顷刻间升起一盏明灯，点燃了他内心的希望，更照亮了他前进的道路。此后，他以积极乐观的态度去面对生活，他也因此更加珍惜每一分，每一秒，他在他那伟大的一生中，每一刻都在创造价值，而《假如生活欺骗了你》也流芳百世，被后人所赞颂。

全诗分为两部分，第一部分告诉我们要乐观向上。生活是一面镜子，你冲它哭，他便冲你哭;你冲它笑，他便冲你笑。悲观的人，把挫折视为烂泥潭，一点点陷入人生的困境;乐观的人，把挫折时为梯子，一步步攀上人生的高峰!正因为如此，我们更要乐观的去面对生活中的困难与坎坷，磨难与失败。再平的路，也会有石子，同样，再顺利的人生，怎会没风雨雷电呢?

诗的第二部分则告诉我们要怀恋过去，珍惜现在，憧憬未来。过去总是会有许多美好难忘的回忆，但过去已成为历史，不能失而复得，所以，我们更应珍惜美好的现在，万万不能虚度光阴，“今日事，今日毕”，万不可“我生待明日，万事成蹉跎”，正所谓“莫等闲，白了少年头，空悲切”!在珍惜现在的同时，我们还要未来充满希望，“一颗充满希望的心是世界上最宝贵的东西”，因此，我们更因憧憬未来，生活也会因此变得丰富多彩，五彩缤纷。

《假如生活欺骗了你》告诉我们四条生活准则：乐观生活，怀恋过去，珍惜现在，憧憬未来。乐观生活使我们快乐;怀恋过去是我们幸福;珍惜现在是我们充实;憧憬未来使我们站得更高，望得更远!在生活中，只要我们谨遵这四条生活准则，那么我们的生活将更加轻松，生命将更加充实，并缔造出辉煌的人生!

第五篇：《假如生活欺骗了你》观后感

《假如生活欺骗了你》读后感

《假如生活欺骗了你》，这首诗虽然简短，却蕴含着令人受益终生的道理----人生之路不平坦，挫折、打击都是人生中所必经的磨练。面对一切阻碍，不要抱怨生活，人生掌握在自己的手中。消极地面对人生中的磨练，必会渐渐沉沦于怨天尤人的苦闷之中，而那些对生活充满希望，有着美好追求的人，坦然面对，挫折也会成为自己的人生财富，他们的心中有的只是坚定的信念和恒久的追求。上帝对每一个人都是公平的，他在关上一道门的同时，也会为人打开一扇窗。

《假如生活欺骗了你》还告诉我们四条生活准则：乐观生活，怀恋过去，珍惜现在，憧憬未来。乐观生活使我们快乐；怀恋过去是我们幸福；珍惜现在是我们充实；憧憬未来使我们站得更高，望得更远！在生活中，只要我们谨遵这四条生活准则，那么我们的生活将更加轻松，生命将更加充实，并缔造出辉煌的人生！
