第一篇：励志英语小短文[小编推荐]

1.Buy someone's coffee.It's just coffee--no one needs coffee, so this doesn't really matter, right? But what if you knew that a $2 cup of caffeine could change someone's day, week or their wholeperspective? Boom: That cup of coffee just changed the world.Welcome to the Random Acts of Kindness movement, where nice things happen just because nice people do them.You don't have to, you don't necessarily need to, but you can--and it restores people's faith in humanity.The best part? They pass it on.2.Smile....with eye contact.In a world where smart phones rule and it's not just possible, but normal, to have entire conversations without ever looking someone in the eye, it can be heart-stopping, wonderful and double-take-worthy to lock eyes with someone grinning.Happiness is contagious, and it only takes a couple facial muscles to spread it.3.Give what you can.You clean out your closets, right? Perfect.You don't need a half a million dollar check written out to your charity of choice to help someone(kudos to you if you do, though!).Maybe you have a few shirts you don't wear anymore or a few children's books you can bear to part with.The thing about giving a little is that when everyone gives a little, suddenly it turns into a lot.Be a part of that lot.4.Get in touch.Then listen.Maybe a grandparent is chomping at the bit to hear about your adventures, or maybe an old friend had a really bad day, maybe your mom wishes you'd ring her up more often.Get on the line.You remember that your iPhone can make calls, right? Get in touch with those people that are dying to hear from you(because someone definitely is).Then, ask: How are you doing? What's new? These questions have such few syllables, but their depth is endless.5.Sort your problems.Let's face it: There's a lot of bad stuff in the world.It can be a scary place, and we've all got problems we would be a whole lot happier without.But experiment with putting your problems into perspective--or boxes: That breakup? Missing a really important deadline at work? Hurt feelings? Losing someone close to you? Probably worth some self-pity.That stain on your shirt? Not so much.Let go of what you can.The less negative, the more room there is to be happy.6.Give when you get.This is the best kind of multitasking!Whenever you get a little, give a little.There's a couple ways to pull this off: You can implement it yourself(donating an older shirt when you splurge for a new shirt, etc), or support companies that are passionate, good-hearted(really fun)do-gooders.Doesn't get much better than that, does it? 7.Stop comparing yourself to people you see on the Internet.We all creep people's Instagram and Twitter feeds...and there's nothing wrong with wanting to be the best version of you.But you're you for a reason, and there's no one better at being you than you are!A little self-acceptance goes a long way.Your confidence will melt into other people and make them feel comfortable in their own skin too.8.Use please and thank you.Not to sound like your grandmother(go ahead and put your elbows on the table!), but the smallest ways to show your gratitude are these little words.They take zero effort to say, but the impact is huge.Aren't you thankful someone held the door for you when your hands were full? Tell them!9.Support someone else.You know that friend who is trying to promote their new album, or start that business? You don't always have to chip in financially to be a backer--you just have to believe in something!Lend your support when and where you can.Whether it's as simple as a retweet on Twitter or tossing a few extra bucks toward a worthy cause, show someone you believe in what they're doing.Not only will they be super-motivated, but they'll pass it on.10.Chase what gets you up in the morning.What's the thing that lingers on your heart--that you just can't stop daydreaming about? Do the thing you would do if you could do anything.It's called your passion.And it's what you should be doing.Sometimes, we treat chasing dreams like a fantasy--it's easy to do, when things like money and rent and groceries and day jobs come into play.But you don't have to jump off the cliff solo: Start building your wings.Inch toward your dream.One foot in front of the other.Take the step.After all, it's your calling.perspective [pərˈspɛktɪv] n.透视图；观点；洞察力；远景adj.透视的 humanity [hju'mæniti] n.人类；【总称】人

contact [ˈkɑnˈtækt;kənˈtækt ] n.交往，联系；接触，触碰；社会关系；接点，触点v.跟„联络上，同„联系adj.跟„联络上，同„联系 为他人买杯咖啡

只是杯咖啡而已——没人必须要喝咖啡，所以也无所谓，对吧？但是如果你知道2美元一杯的咖啡可以改变一个人的一天、一周甚至整个人生，那你会怎么做？哇，一杯咖啡改变了整个世界。欢迎参与“好事随意做”活动，就是因为好人做好事，好事才会来。你不一定要做，你不必一定做，但你能做得到——这样会让人们重新相信人性。你猜最好的部分是什么？人们会把它传递下去。微笑

微笑着用眼神交流。在一个智能手机统治的世界，在整个交流的过程中，连看也不看对方一眼，这样的行为不仅是可能的，也是正常的。要是看着对方咧嘴笑，就会有屏息凝气、非常奇妙的感觉。快乐是可以传染的，只需通过几个面部肌肉的运动就可以把它传播。尽你所能地付出

你整理自己的衣橱，对吧？很好。你不用非得写一张50万的支票捐给慈善机构来帮助他人（但是如果你这样做，那当然相当好！）。也许你有几件不再穿的衬衫，或有几本可以舍弃的童书。虽然只付出一点点，但当每个人都付出一点点时，就会积少成多。来成为多的一部分吧。保持联系，然后倾听

也许你的爷爷奶奶正迫不及待地想听你的历险，也许一个老友过了糟糕的一天，也许你的妈妈希望你多给她打个电话。联系他们吧。你还记得你的iPhone能打电话，对吗？和那些很想和你联系的人打个电话吧。然后问问：你怎么样了？最近发生了什么事儿？虽然这些问题只有几个音节，但是这些问题的深度是无止境的。把问题排序

让我们面对现实吧：世界上有很多不好的事情。它会让人感到恐慌。我们都有问题，要是没有的话，会幸福地多。但是试一试用长远的眼光来看这些问题：分手？工作时错过了重要的截止时间？受伤的感觉？失去了亲近的人？或许值得自怜自哀。衬衫上的污渍？那就不值得了。能放手就放手。负面因素越少，开心的空间就越大。当你得到时就给予

这是多任务的最好形式！无论何时只要你得到了一点点，那就给予一点点。可以有很多种方法：你可以自己去做（比如当你买了一件新衬衫时可以捐出一件旧衬衫）或支持有激情的公司、热心肠的好人。还有什么比这更好的呢？ 不要再和互联网上的人进行比较

我们都喜欢看别人在Instagram和推特上的内容„,想成为最好的自己也没什么错。但是你就是你，没人比做你做得更出色的了！一点点儿自我接受，就能走很远。你的自信会逐渐融入他人，让他们也感到自信。用“请”和“谢谢”

不是说听起来要像你的奶奶（快点，把胳膊肘放到桌子上！），但是表达你的感激之情的最简单的方式莫过于这些简单的词汇。说这些话又不费劲，但是影响却是相当大的。当你两手满满，有人给你开门时，你不是很感激他们？告诉他们！支持他人

你知道你的那个朋友在宣传他们的新唱片，或开了一家新公司？你不用每次都出资——你只需去相信他们！无论何时何地，只要你能帮助他们，就伸出你的手吧。无论是在推特上的一条转发，还是因为某个值得的原因投上一些钱，让他们看看你相信他们做的事情。他们不仅仅会受到鼓舞，而且还会把这份正能量传递下去。追逐你的梦想

什么东西徘徊在你的心间——以至于你总是在不断地去梦想它？如果你能为它做点儿事情，那就做吧。这就叫做激情。这也是你应该去做的事情。有时，我们把梦想看成是幻想——当有钱、有租金、有食物、有工作时很容易去做。但是，你也不能不加准备就跳下悬崖：你该先长出自己的翅膀。一点点地朝梦想靠近。一步一步地往前走。往前迈一步吧。毕竟，这是你的使命。

第二篇：英语励志小短文

励志小短文三：A Better Tomorrow People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars? We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen.Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do.If we are ever to create lasting peace, we

must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth.History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past.These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.The main purpose of history is to create a better world.History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.In short, history helps us learn.Yesterday’s records can keep us from

repeating yesterday’s mistakes.And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.翻译：一个更好的明天

英语励志短文人们常常心存疑虑,为什么历史学家要费尽周折地保存数以万计的书籍、文献和记录。

我们为什么要有图书馆呢？这些文献和史书有何用处呢? 我们为什么要记载并保存人类的行为、政府官员的谈判和战争中的事件呢？

我们这么做的原因在于有时候经验之音能促使我们停步、观察和倾听。也因为有时候过

去的记载经过正确地诠释,能帮助我们决定何事可为、何事不可为。如果我们想要创造永久的和平,我们就必须从人类的经验以及人类历史的记载中去探索其渊源。

从体现男性和女性勇敢和奉献精神的故事之中,我们获得了青春的启示。英语短文历史记载着人类的一切苦难、克己、忠诚和英勇的事迹。这些记载在我们困惑和渴望和平时能对我们有所帮助。

历史的主要目的是创造一个更加美好的世界。历史对那些力主战争的人给以警告,给予那些寻求和平的人以启示。

简而言之,历史帮助我们学习。昨日的记载可以使我们避免重蹈覆辙。这些历史学家们创

作的像马赛克一样色彩缤纷的历史片断汇聚成了代表人类进步的伟大壁画。

第三篇：英语励志小短文

励志小短文二：The Power of the Dream 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 cherish2 it.Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.翻译：梦想的力量

别人看你的眼睛时,他应当体会到你内心的活力。怀揣梦想就像是拥有一座引领你前行的灯塔。

每个转折关头,它给我们带来奇迹。每个新的起点,我们脱胎换骨,焕然一新。孤独中我们挺过失望的阴霾,发现我们的信念不曾动摇,我们的力量依然强大。

秉持信念,期盼未来。许下你最真诚的梦想,一旦机会来临,就为之拼搏。也许要花一季甚或更多的时间,但结局不会改变。立大志,倾全

力,成现实。前途未卜,唯有一步一个脚印,梦想者的至高希冀才会实现。我们必须珍存梦想,给它一季的保护,让它在内心悄然生发。然而我们还得温柔呵护我们内心至深的期许,慢慢地梦想必将成就新的生命。

梦想是实现信仰的第一步。你的期待熠熠光辉,它会驱逐不信的阴影。上帝赋予我们梦想的天资,去点亮不曾确信的世界。让梦想的财富寄于心中,珍爱它,明天正等着你跨出第一步。

第四篇：英语励志小短文

英语励志短文

Whether sixty or sixteen, 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 the infinite, so long are you young.无论是60岁还是16岁，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄灭的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事业成功的欢乐与热情。在你我的心底，有一座无线电台，它能在多长时间里接收到人间万物传递来的美好、希望、欢乐、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就会年轻多长时间。

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls.Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.人的生命应当像河流，开始是涓涓细流，受两岸的而十分狭窄，尔后奔腾咆哮，翻过危岩，飞越瀑布，河面渐渐开阔，河岸也随之向两边隐去，最后水流平缓，森森无际，汇入大海之中，个人就这样毫无痛苦地消失了。

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over

timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.青春意味着战胜懦弱的那股大丈夫气概和摈弃安逸的那种冒险精神。往往一个60岁的老者比一个20岁的青年更多一点这种劲头。人老不仅仅是岁月流逝所致，更主要的是不思进取的结果。

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.光阴可以在颜面上留下印记，而热情之火的熄灭则在心灵上刻下皱纹。烦恼、恐惧、缺乏自信会扭曲人的灵魂，并将青春化为灰烬。

Michael Jordan's Retired Speech

迈克尔·乔丹退役演说

I am here to announce my retirement from the game of basketball.It won't be another announcement to baseball or anything to that nature.我在这里宣布从篮球场上退役，而且这次退役后不会再去从事棒球或其他类似的运动。

Mentally, I'm exhausted;I don't feel I have a challenge.Physically, I feel great.The last time in 1993 I had other agendas.I felt that I wanted to play baseball and I felt that at my age, it was a good opportunity and time to do it.And with the death of my father, and I was basically trying to deal with that.由于精神上很疲惫，我感到自己非常蛙主耻战力，体力倒还不错。1993年那次退役时我有其他计划：想打棒球，我这个年纪正是从事桦球事业的极佳时机而且父亲刚好去世了，我只想尽力去面对这一切。

Actually I talked to very last year once the season ended and I told Jerry at that time, mentally, I was a little exhausted.I didn't know if I would play next year.I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going into next season.And very, once we had our conversation, wanted me to take time as I did in 93 to make sure that it was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision.事实上，去年赛季刚结束时，我和在里谈过一次。我告诉他我精神上有些疲惫，不知道下一年还能不能打我想让他幸识到这一点，以便为下一事丰做准备。杰里——有一次我们谈过这个问题——让我要像93年那样，好好考虑，以使做出明智的决定，因为这将是最后的决定。

I retired the first time when Phil Jackson was the coach.And I think that even with Phil being the coach I would have had a tough time , mentally finding the challenge for myself.I though he can somehow present challenges for me.I don't know if he could have presented the challenge for me to continue on to this season.Even though middle way of this season I wanted to continue to play a couple more years, but at the end of this season I was mentally drained and tired.50 I can't say that he would have restored that.第一次退役时菲尔.杰克逊是教练。但我觉得即使本赛季他还担任教练，我也会很困难，内心里，我已感到了挑战。当然克论如何，他都会给我一些应对方洁的我不知道他是否还有办法使我打完这一赛季。在本赛季中间我还想着再打几年呢，但当赛季结束时，我却感觉精神枯竭，疲惫。因此我确实不能说他会使我恢复精力。

I will support the Chicago Bulls.I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael Jordan.I've been given an opportunity by people before me, to name a few, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Doctor J, Eljohn Baylor Jerry West.These guys played the game way before Michael Jordan was born and Michael Jordan came on the heels of all that activity.Mr.Stern and what he's done for the league, gave me an opportunity to play the game of basketball I played it to the best I could play it, I tried to enhance the game itself.I've tried to be the best basketball player that I could be.我将支持芝加哥公牛队，我认为比赛本身比迈克尔.乔丹重要得多。我的很多机会都是篮球前辈们给的。我这里指出一些：里姆·阿卡杜·贾巴尔，J博士,伊利约翰 ·贝勒，杰里 ·韦斯特这些人早在迈克尔.乔丹出生前就活跃在赛场了。迈克尔.乔丹只不过是继承了他们的传统。斯特恩先生及其为联盟做出的贡献给了我打蓝球的机会。找已尽我最大能力打球，我也努力拉动比赛本身的发展。我一直在努力，尽我所能成为最好的球员。

James Cameron: Failure is an Option, but Fear is not

詹姆斯·卡梅隆：失败是人生的选项之一，但畏惧不是

And you know, along the way in this journey of discovery, I learned a lot.I learned a lot about science.But I also learned a lot about leadership.Now you think director has got to be a leader, leader of, captain of the ship, and all that sort of thing.在发现的旅途中，我学到了很多。我学到的不仅仅是科学知识，还有领导力。很多人以为作为导演，就一定具有很高的领导力，就像船长带领整艘船一样。

I didn't really learn about leadership until I did these expeditions.Because I had to, at a certain point, say, “What am I doing out here? Why am I doing this? What do I get out of it?” We don't make money at these damn shows.We barely break even.There is no fame in it.People sort of think I went away between “Titanic” and “Avatar” and was buffing my nails someplace, sitting at the beach.Made all these films, made all these documentary films for a very limited audience.但我却是从这些探险中学到如何带领团队。在探险时，有时候我会问自己，“我为什么会在这里?为什么要做这些纪录片?我从中得到了什么?”我们并没有从这些纪录片中赚钱，还差点亏了本。我也没有赚到名声。很多人以为我在《秦坦尼克号》之后《阿凡达》之前就一直躺在沙滩边享受。这些纪录片只有很少的观众。

No fame, no glory, no money.What are you doing? You're doing it for the task itself, for the challenge---and the ocean is the most challenging environment there is, for the thrill of discovery, and for that strange bond that happens when a small group of people form a tightly knit team.Because we would do these things with 10-12 people working for years at a time.Sometimes at sea for 2-3 months at a time.没有名声，没有荣耀，没有利润。那我在做什么呢?我做这些其实只是为了这件任务本身。为了挑战——海洋是现存最危险的环境;为了发现;也为了一种奇怪的关系，这发生在一个很少人组成的紧密团队中。我们这10到12个人在一起工作了很多年。有时要在海里一起工作2到3个月。

And in that bond, you realize that the most important thing is the respect that you have for them and that they have for you, that you've done a task that you can't explain to someone else.When you come back to the shore and you say, “We had to do this, and the fiber optic, and the attenuation, and this and that all the technology of it, and the difficulty, the human performance aspects of working at sea, you can't explain it to people.It's that thing that maybe cops have, or people in combat that have gone through something together and they know they can never explain it.Creates a bond, creates a bond of respect.”

在这种关系中，我发现最重要的东西就是尊重。你尊重他们，他们也尊重你，每个人做的工作都无法向其他人解释。当你从岸边回来的时候，你说：“我们不得不这样做，光纤眼、钝化、这个、那个，所有的技术、困难和在海边表演的各方面，你没法跟大家说清楚。这很像警察经历的那种事情或是格斗中人们经历的，他们知道他们解释不清。创造一种关系，建立起一种尊重关系。”
