第二篇:双语美文欣赏:蝴蝶效应
“Thank you for your application.We would like to congratulate you,” the letter read.Those words can make your heart skip a beat and bring tears to your eyes.The feeling of following your dreams is inexplicable and proof that all your hard work was worth it.It is a signpost in life, a trail marker.It is a day you will never forget, the day you opened that envelope and your future was revealed.But what about all those days in-betweento climb up the hill may be difficult, but you'll reach the top no matter which path you choose.“
感谢你的申请。我们要恭喜你,”信上写道。那些话能使你的心为之一颤,让你热泪盈眶。追随梦想的感受是难以言喻的,并且证明你所有的努力都是值得的。那是人生中的一个标记,人生路上的里程碑。那是你永远不会忘记的日子,那天你打开那个信封,你的未来就随之展现。但是在你获得录取信之前的所有日子呢?那些使你成功也使你崩溃的日子,那些平平淡淡的日子。要是你那时没有参加学校的学院展,你还会收到录取信吗?如果当时在寄申请书的时候,你忘记附上一篇个人陈述,你会被拒绝吗?人生中,步步相随。无论好与坏,每一天都一样的重要。人生中没有一个时刻是无关紧要的。不管如何不值一提,每个选择、每一天、每个想法,都会引出下一步。简单的事情可以完全重塑你的人生。那就像是“蝴蝶效应”,你永远不知道最后的结果是什么。若回顾从前并改变创造你人生的众多时刻中的一个,随后的一切也会被改变。要是说我悟出什么道理,那就是任何事情都是重要的。你可以奋斗一生,试图创造完美的人生之路,但事实是你总是怀疑是否原本有更好的路可以走。每件事情都是重要的,任何事情都无需改变——攀山的过程可能是艰辛的,但无论你选择哪条道路,你终会到达顶峰。
第三篇:捞 鱼 记-美文欣赏
捞 鱼 记-美文欣赏
塔里木的夏季是繁忙的,万物都在这个季节里争先恐后生长发展壮大。河边上的柳树穿一身绿衣服,披头散发笑着。旁边的白杨树披着银白色的大衣,一脸严肃,高高大大直冲云霄。弯弯曲曲老态龙钟的沙棘树活脱脱是一群老头老太,穿着深咖啡色外衣,弓腰驼背,他们年纪都很大了,上百岁也不止了。年年还是照样长出银片一样的叶子,开出黄金一样的花朵,秋天还会有橙黄色的果实挂满枝头。一望无际的水田里全是水稻,一片碧绿色,仔细看绿色中东一点西一点夹杂着金黄色,那是水稻开始抽穗了。望不到边的旱地里种了大片的棉花,一片绿油油的,中间还混合着黄色和粉红色,那是棉花正在开花,黄红绿三种颜色混合搭配非常和谐,自然界中的景物就是和谐美丽的。鸟儿在树林里叽叽喳喳叫个不停,大概是找到好吃的东西了,呼朋引伴来共享;也许是闲来无事请朋友来聊天;亦或是吸引伴侣到身边来约会。干涸了一个冬天的小河一下子吃饱了,摇晃着肥肥胖胖的身躯,唱起儿时就学会了的欢乐的歌,一路向前哗啦啦哗啦啦地奔向远方。
夏天里小何是个好地方,大人孩子男女老少都喜欢去小河里,小孩子喜欢在小河里洗澡游泳,大人喜欢在小河里捞鱼。那个年代生活非常困难,别说是吃好的,连吃饱都是奢望。办法总是有的,大自然给人们留了许多活路,只要人勤快,肯动脑子,就有活路。捞鱼是家家户户都要做的事情,每个家庭都有几个渔网。有一个人用的小抄网,有几个人才能用的'大撒网,还有多个人合用的大抬网,另外还有鱼篓子。每年放暑假就是我最快乐的时间,不用去上学,不用写作业。每天吃好早饭就扛了小抄网出去捞鱼。有一年我和小外甥一起去捞鱼。我也就十二三岁,小外甥比我小二岁,两个人刚好差不多大,一起去捞鱼说说笑笑有个伴,捞鱼的时候也多一个帮手。来到一条小河里,我把抄网拦住小何最窄的地方,小外甥拿一根木棒子,从几十米远的地方顺着水流的方向,一边走一边拍打水面,到我跟前了,我快速把网一抄,就有了收获,十几条或是几十条小鱼,大多数是小鲫鱼和新疆鱼(新疆鱼是一种无鳞的肉鱼,通常十公分长,大的也有二十几公分长)。运气好的时候一两个小时就可以捞三五斤小鱼。回到家里,把鱼肚子清理干净,放盐,用白面搅拌,然后在平底锅上面炕熟,一会儿鱼的香味就弥漫了整个房子,这一天的菜就有了。那时候单位里只有过年过节才能分一点猪肉,平时是见不到什么肉的,要想吃肉最简单的办法就是捞鱼,所以家家户户男女老少都喜欢捞鱼,都会捞鱼,都有自己捞鱼的经验,还有自己的小秘密——就是哪个地方鱼最多,不能张扬。
我的青少年阶段一个夏天总是要捞许多鱼,几乎天天捞鱼,就是靠了那些小鱼,我们才能度过困难生活,我们才能茁壮成长。我后来工作了,插队落户在农场一个连队里。生活比以前好了许多了,可以吃饱了。但是肉食供应还是十分紧张,一年里也分不了几次肉,生活还是缺少肉的滋味,我又琢磨着怎样捞鱼。在戈壁滩荒野地里有一条小河沟,有许多鱼。我看了地形,根据河沟的宽度,制作了一个鱼篓子,是把两个抄网重叠起来,前一个抄网的底部打开,后一个抄网的底部捆紧,把这个网兜子挡住河沟,鱼进去过前一个抄网进入后一个抄网,就再也出不去了,有来无回。我在晚饭后天快黑的时候下网,约莫半夜去收网,那真是喜出望外,一下子就可以收获几十斤甚至上百斤鱼。回家要忙一整天,把这么多鱼洗干净,大一些的挑出来留着自己吃或者是送给亲朋好友左邻右舍,也要晒一些干鱼准备冬天吃;小一些的拿来喂鸡,也晒干一部分作为冬天的鸡饲料。捞鱼是一种乐趣,也是一种生活,还是一种享受。在农场那个年代有谁没有捞过鱼!捞鱼也会上瘾,夏天不出去捞鱼就浑身难受,好像生活缺少了什么。我捞鱼最过瘾的一次是在大学毕业后的那个暑假。有一天,我和妈妈一起出去捞鱼。那一年妈妈已经五十八岁了,身体还是很硬朗,浑身都是力气,一点也不显老。我们每人一个抄网一个柳条筐(装鱼用的),就朝着水稻田走去,妈妈在前面带路,我在后面跟着,因为在捞鱼这方面妈妈的经验比我多,她只要看一看河沟就知道有没有鱼,看一看水稻田就可以估计出哪个地方可能有鱼,大多数时候判断是非常准确。这就是人们说的姜还是老的辣。妈妈发现一条河沟水比较浑,估计里面有鱼。我们就一人一头,用抄网向中间靠拢,果然收获不少,我就要离开去别处。妈妈说:这里面还有大鱼,再捞一趟。我说:我已经仔细捞过了,不会有大鱼的。妈妈说:鱼打千层网,你不信,你再捞还有大鱼在里面。我只好和妈妈再捞一个回合,果然这次捞到好几条一筷子长的大鲫鱼,真是高兴的不得了,还是妈妈经验丰富,不服不行。我们正在捞鱼,身边跑过去几头猪,妈妈说:猪要吃鱼了,你跑到猪的前面去,可能有大鱼,猪精得很。我扛了抄网一路狂奔,终于赶在猪的前面,刚好看到水稻田里有三条一尺多长的大鲤鱼在浅水里挣扎着,拼命摇头摆尾,我赶紧用抄网一个一个把这些鱼全部捞起来。当时那个高兴劲就没法形容,一个劲的大喊大叫:我捞到大鱼了。要不是妈妈提醒我,这些鱼都被那群猪吃掉了。那可是我们家好几天的菜呀。半天时间,我们的柳条筐也装不下了,我们预备的背包也装满了,不得不遗憾而又恋恋不舍地回家去。我们的抄网一米多长的木头把子这时候变成了扁担,每个人挑了沉甸甸的两大包鱼,足足有几十斤。全是我们自己的劳动成果。
那些年虽然生活困难,物资匮乏,可是环境没有被污染,河水里没有垃圾,清澈见底,河里的鱼年年捞,年年都有很多,那是大自然给伟大的戈壁拓荒者的奖赏,好让他们吃饱了有力气把沙漠变成绿洲。
第四篇:鱼的旅程的美文欣赏
有一只很快活的鱼,它觉得生活在这无垠美丽的大海,穿梭于丰富多彩的珊瑚中,经历过弱肉强食的海中斗争,也曾面临成为盘中美味的劫难,这一生是多么充实,令人回味,它感到满足,安于现状。
有一天,鱼偶然听见了老船与海浪的对话。
老船说:“这海上所有的风景我都看过,这缤纷的海浪我都触摸过,这海里所有的声音我都聆听过,生活我已经全然领略过,现在没有什么遗憾了。”
海浪说:“天上的云朵你没有摘过,深水你没有泅渡过,对岸的村庄你也没有去过,你没有经历的事情还有很多,你怎么能这样安于现状,不思进取呢?”
鱼觉得海浪说的很有道理,想想自己,又与老船是何其相似啊!于是,鱼决定要离开大海,去海外面的世界闯闯。背后,老船和海浪的对话还在继续。
自那以后,鱼经常浮到海面上,望着蔚蓝的天空,眺望着茂密的森林,思索着该怎样离开。当鱼看到在天空自由翱翔的鸟时,鱼想到了一个主意,于是他对着鸟喊道:“嘿,英武雄健的鸟啊,你飞翔的姿势是多么美丽,多么令人羡慕啊!你能带我这可怜的鱼也去天空看看么?”鸟听到鱼的赞美,心里乐开了花,立刻答应了鱼的请求。他俯身滑近海面,用双爪抓起鱼。
鱼终于来到了梦寐以求的蓝天,感受到了阳光的明媚,云朵的柔软。地面上的事物在身下显得多么渺小,大海在下面显得多么单调。
当鱼还沉溺在飞翔的快乐中时,突然听到一声枪响,四周的鸟儿都四处逃散,抓住他的那只鸟也吓得松开了爪子,鱼扑通一声又掉回了海里。
鱼受了伤,回想起刚才的情形,暗自庆幸没有被枪打中;也有些后怕,觉得天空也没有想象中那样美好,反而是危机四伏。鱼想:天空的动物那么少,肯定是他们知道天空的危险,而森林里的动物繁多,那森林一定是个好地方。
于是,鱼借助海浪的力量,在一次海潮的冲击中来到了岸上,可是鱼动弹不得,渐渐因为缺水而感到虚脱。他没有步入森林,却即将步入另一个世界。在他奄奄一息时,耳边响起老船和海浪的对话。
老船说:“这个世界上虽然还有很多事物,我不曾见过,但我已经拥有足够的幸福;不属于我的东西,我没有能力去拥有。我只要自己快乐就好。”
海浪说:“是啊。太多的期盼只是累赘,不属于自己的东西也拥有不了,你真是一位睿智的见过世面的老者。”
第五篇:中英双语励志美文欣赏
美文乃是诉之于人之感性,而非诉之于人之知性的,所以能给予人一种真切可感的意象。下面小编为你整理了中英双语励志美文欣赏,希望能帮到你!
中英双语励志美文欣赏(1)
Many people believe that they will be happy once they arrive at some specific goal they set for themselves.However, more often than not, once you arrive “ there” you will still feel dissatisfied, and move your “ there” vision to yet another point in the future.By always chasing after another “there,” you are never really appreciating what you already have right “here.” It is important for human beings to keep soberminded about the age-old drive to look beyond the place where you now stand.On one hand, your life is enhanced by your dreams and aspirations.On the other hand, these drives can pull you farther and farther from your enjoyment of your life right now.By learning the lessons of gratitude and abundance, you can bring yourself closer to fulfilling the challenge of living in the present.许多人都相信,一旦他们达到了自己所设定的某个特定目标,他们就会开心、快乐。然而事实往往是,当你到达彼岸時,你还是不知足、不满意,而且又有了新的彼岸--新的幻想和憧憬。由于你总是疲于追逐一个又一个的彼岸,你从未真正欣赏、珍惜你已经拥有的一切。不安于现状的欲望人皆有之,由来已久,但重要的是要对它保持清醒的头脑。一方面,你的生活因为梦想和渴望而更加精彩。另一方面,这些欲望又使你越来越不懂得珍惜和享受现在拥有的生活。假如你能懂得感恩,学会知足,你就接近实现生活在现实中提出的要求。
Gratitude To be grateful means you are thankful for and appreciative of what you have and where you are on your path right now.Gratitude fills your heart with the joyful feeling and allows you to fully appreciate everything that arises on your path.As you strive to keep your focus on the present moment, you can experience the full wonder of “here.”
感恩之心感恩是指你感激、珍惜自己当前所拥有的一切以及所处的人生境遇。心存感恩,你的心灵就充满愉悦,你就能真正领会人生路上的种种体验。如果你努力把眼光锁定在此時此刻,你就能感受它的美妙之处。
There are many ways to cultivate gratitude.Here are just a few suggestions you may wish to try:
感恩之心需要经常加强。许多方法可以培育感恩之心,你不妨试试以下几种:
1.Imagine what your life would be like if you lost all that you had.This will most surely remind you of how much you do appreciate it.设想如果你失去了你现在所拥有的一切,你的生活将会怎么样。它肯定会使你回想起原来你是多么喜欢和珍视这一切。
2.Make a list each day of all that you are grateful for, so that you can stay conscious daily of your blessings.Do this especially when you are feeling as though you have nothing to feel grateful for.Or spend a few minutes before you go to sleep giving thanks for all that you have.每天都列出那些值得你感激的事物,那样你就能時時刻刻意识到自己的幸运。每天都要这么做,尤其是当你觉得好像没有什么可感激的時候。另外你也可以每天临睡前花几分钟感恩自己所拥有的一切。
3.Spend time offering assistance to those who are less fortunate than you, so that you may gain perspective.花時间帮助那些没有你那么幸运的人,这样你也许会对生活有正确的认识。
However you choose to learn gratitude is irrelevant.What really matters is that you create a space in your consciousness for appreciation for all that you have right now, so that you may live more joyously in your present moment.其实,你选择何种方法去学会感恩,这无关紧要,真正重要的是你应该有意识地努力去欣赏和珍视你现在所拥有的一切,这样你就可以更快乐地享受你目前的生活。
Abundance One of the most common human fears is scarcity.Many people are afraid of not having enough of what they need or want, and so they are always striving to get to a point when they would finally have enough.知足常乐贫穷是人类最普遍的恐惧之一。许多人担心自己的所需所求不够,所以他们总是孜孜以求有朝一日能心满意足,别无他求。
Alan and Linda always dreamed of living “the good life.” Both from poor working-class families, they married young and set out to fulfill their mutual goal of becoming wealthy.They both worked very hard for years, amassing a small fortune, so they could move from their two-bedroom home to a palatial seven-bedroom home in the most upscale neighborhood.They focused their energies on accumulating all the things they believed signified abundance: membership in the local exclusive country club, luxury cars, designer clothing, and high-class society friends.No matter how much they accumulated, however, it never seemed to be enough.They were unable to erase the deep fear of scarcity both had acquired in childhood.They needed to learn the lesson of abundance.Then the stock market crashed in 1987, and Alan and Linda lost a considerable amount of money.A bizarre but costly lawsuit depleted another huge portion of their savings.One thing led to another, and they found themselves in a financial disaster.Assets needed to be sold, and eventually they lost the country club membership, the cars, and the house.It took several years and much hard work for Alan and Linda to land on their feet, and though they now live a life far from extravagant, they have taken stock of their lives and feel quite blessed.Only now, as they assess what they have left--a solid, loving marriage, their health, a dependable income, and good friends--do they realize that true abundance comes not from amassing, but rather from appreciating.艾伦和琳达都来自贫苦的工人家庭,都一直梦想着过上“好日子”。他们早早地成了家,然后就开始为他们共同的致富目标奋斗。他们拼命工作了好几年,终于积攒了一笔钱,从两居室搬到了一套坐落在最高档街区的富丽堂皇的七居室大房子。此后,他们费尽心思去积聚那些他们认为是代表富足的东西:当地惟一的一家乡村俱乐部的会员资格、豪华汽车、名牌服装,以及上流社会的朋友。但是,不论他们积聚了多少,似乎永远难以满足。他们俩谁都无法消除小時侯对贫穷的刻骨铭心的恐惧。其实,他们就需要学会知足常乐这一课。1987年,股市遭受重创,艾伦和琳达损失惨重。祸不单行,一场莫名其妙的昂贵的官司又耗尽了他们的一大笔积蓄,这一切使他们陷入了经济困境。他们不得不变卖家产,最后他们丢掉了乡村俱乐部的会员资格,失去了汽车和房子。艾伦和琳达努力奋斗了好几年才从困境中走出来。现在他们的生活毫不奢华,但是他们是自己生活的主宰,幸福而又知足。只有在这時,他们才掂量着那些尚未失去的东西,如稳固相爱的婚姻、健康的身体、可靠的收入、真正的朋友等等,他们终于认识到,真正的富足不是来自财富的积聚,而是来自对所拥有的一切的珍视。
Scarcity consciousness arises as a result of the “hole-in-the-soul syndrome.” This is when we attempt to fill the gaps in our inner lives with things from the outside world.But like puzzle pieces, you can't fit something in where it does not naturally belong.No amount of external objects, affection, love, or attention can ever fill an inner void.We already have enough, so we should revel in our own interior abundance.贫穷感可以归因于“精神空虚综合症”,即我们试图用身外之物来填补内心的空缺。但是,就像拼图游戏一样,你不能把本来不属于那个地方的东西硬塞进去。任何身外之物、情感、关爱和关注都无法填补内心的空虚。我们拥有的已经足够,因此我们应该满足于内心世界的丰富与充实。
中英双语励志美文欣赏(2)
If you want to understand adversity, take two identical acorns from the same oak tree and plant them in two different locations.Plant the first in the middle of a dense forest, and the other on a hill by itself.如果你想理解什么是逆境,就去拿两颗从同一棵树上摘下来年龄相同的橡树果,并且把它们种到不同的地方。第一颗种在浓密的树林当中,而另外一颗则单独种在一座山上。
Here's what will happen.The oak standing on a hillside is exposed to every storm and gale.As a result its roots plunge deep into the earth and spread in every direction, even wrapping themselves around giant boulders.At times it may seem the tree isn't growing fast enough—but the growth is happening underground.It's as if the roots know they must ported the tree from the threatening elements.事情的结果便是这样。那颗长在山上的橡树经历了大风大雨,结果它的根深深地扎进了泥土中间,并不断向四周扩张,甚至把自己置身于巨大的石块当中。有時它可能看起来长的不是很快,但这時它却在地下悄悄生长着,好像它的根知道自己必须快速生长来保护树木免受自然危害的影响。
What about the acorn planted in the forest? It becomes a weak, frail sapling.And since it is protected by its neighbors, the little oak doesn't sense the need to spread its roots for support.而种在树丛中的橡树果是什么样子的呢?它变成了一棵虚弱的小树苗。因为有周围树丛的保护,所以这棵小树苗便不知道要把自己的根扎得更深。
Don't be afraid of adversity!Welcome it!That's your surefire route to ultimate success.不要害怕困难!要欢迎它!困难是你最终成功的必经之路。

I am nature's greatest miracle.我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
Since the beginning of time never has there been another with my mind, my heart, my eyes, my ears, my hands, my hair, my mouth.None that came before, none that live today, and none that come tomorrow can walk and talk and move and think exactly like me.All men are my brothers yet I am different from each.I am a unique creature.自从上帝创造了天地万物以来,没有一个人和我一样,我的头脑、心灵、眼睛、耳朵、双手、头发、嘴唇都是与众不同的。言谈举止和我完全一样的人以前没有,现在没有,以后也不会有。虽然四海之内皆兄弟,然而人人各异。我是独一无二的造化。
I am nature's greatest miracle.我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
Although I am of the animal kingdom, animal rewards alone will not satisfy me.Within me burns a flame, which has been passed from generations uncounted and its heat is a constant irritation to my spirit to become better than I am, and I will.I will fan this flame of dissatisfaction and proclaim my uniqueness to the world.我不可能像动物一样容易满足,我心中燃烧着代代相传的火焰,它激励我超越自己,我要使这团火燃得更旺,向世界宣布我的出类拔萃。
None can duplicate my brush strokes, none can make my chisel marks, none can duplicate my handwriting, none can produce my child, and, in truth, none has the ability to sell exactly as I.Henceforth, I will capitalize on this difference for it is an asset to be promoted to the fullest.没有人能模仿我的笔迹,我的商标,我的成果,我的推销能力。从今往后,我要使自己的个性充分发展,因为这是我得以成功的一大资本。
I am nature's greatest miracle.我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
Vain attempts to imitate others no longer will I make.Instead will I place my uniqueness on display in the market place.I will proclaim it, yea, I will sell it.I will begin now to accent my differences;hide my similarities.So too will I apply this principle to the goods I sell.Salesman and goods, different from all others, and proud of the difference.我不再徒劳地模仿别人,而要展示自己的个性。我不但要宣扬它,还要推销它。我要学会去同存异,强调自己与众不同之处,回避人所共有的通性,并且要把这种原则运用到商品上。推销员和货物,两者皆独树一帜,我为此而自豪。
I am a unique creature of nature.我是独一无二的奇迹。
I am rare, and there is value in all rarity;therefore, I am valuable.I am the end product of thousands of years of evolution;therefore, I am better equipped in both mind and body than all the emperors and wise men who preceded me.物以稀为贵。我独行特立,因而身价百倍。我是千万年进化的终端产物,头脑和身体都超过以往的帝王与智者。
But my skills, my mind, my heart, and my body will stagnate, rot, and die lest I put them to good use.I have unlimited potential.Only a small portion of my brain do I employ;only a paltry amount of my muscles do I flex.A hundredfold or more can I increase my accomplishments of yesterday and this I will do, beginning today.但是,我的技艺,我的头脑,我的心灵,我的身体,若不善加利用,都将随着時间的流逝而迟钝,腐朽,甚至死亡。我的潜力无穷无尽,脑力、体能稍加开发,就能超过以往的任何成就。从今天开始,我就要开发潜力。
Nevermore will I be satisfied with yesterday's accomplishments nor will I indulge, anymore, in self-praise for deeds which in reality are too small to even acknowledge.I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will, for why should the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today?
我不再因昨日的成绩沾沾自喜,不再为微不足道的成绩目吹自擂。我能做的比已经完成的更好。我的出生并非最后一样奇迹,为什么自己不能再创奇迹呢?
I am nature's greatest miracle.我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
I am not on this earth by chance.I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand.Henceforth will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.我不是随意来到这个世上的。我生来应为高山。而非草芥。从今往后,我要竭尽全力成为群峰之巅,将我的潜能发挥到最大限度。
I will increase my knowledge of mankind, myself, and the goods I sell, thus my sales will multiply.I will practice, and improve, and polish the words I utter to sell my goods, for this is the foundation on which I will build my career and never will I forget that many have attained great wealth and success with only one sales talk, delivered with excellence.Also will I seek constantly to improve my manners and graces, for they are the sugar to which all are attracted.我要吸取前人的经验,了解自己以及手中的货物,这样才能成倍地增加销量。我要字斟句酌,反复推敲推销時用的语言。因为这是成就事业的关键。我绝不忘记,许多成功的商人,其实只有一套说词。却能使他们无往不利。我也要不断改进自己的仪态和风度,因为这是吸引别人的美德。
I am nature's greatest miracle.我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
I will concentrate my energy on the challenge of the moment and my actions will help me forget all else.The problems of my home will be left in my home.I will think naught of my family when I am in the market place for this will cloud my thoughts.So too will the problems of the market place be left in the market place and I will think naught of my profession when I am in my home for this will dampen my love.我要专心致志对抗眼前的挑战,我的行动会使我忘却其它一切,不让家事缠身。身在商场,不可恋家,否则那会使我思想混饨。另一方面,当我与家人同处時,一定得把工作留在门外,否则会使家人感到冷落。
There is no room in the market place for my family, nor is there room in my home for the market.Each I will divorce from the other and thus will I remain wedded to both.Separate must they remain or my career will die.This is a paradox of the ages.商场上没有一块属于家人的地方,同样,家中也没有谈论商务的地方,这两者必须截然分开,否则就会顾此失彼,这是很多人难以走出的误区。
I am nature's greatest miracle.我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think and now I know a great secret of life for I perceive, at last, that all my problems, discouragements, and heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise.I will no longer be fooled by the garments they wear for mine eyes are open.I will look beyond the cloth and I will not be deceived.我有双眼,可以观察;我有头脑,可以思考。现在我已洞悉了一个人生中伟大的奥秘。我发现,一切问题、沮丧、悲伤,都是乔装打扮的机遇之神。我不再被他们的外表所蒙骗,我已睁开双眼,看破了他们的伪装。
I am nature's greatest miracle.我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
No beast, no plant, no wind, no rain, no rock, no lake had the same beginning as I, for I was conceived in love and brought forth with a purpose.In the past I have not considered this fact but it will henceforth shape and guide my life.飞禽走兽、花草树木、风雨山石、河流湖泊,都没有像我一样的起源,我孕育在爱中,肩负使命而生。过去我忽略了这个事实,从今往后,它将塑造我的性格,引导我的人生。
I am nature's greatest miracle.我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
And nature knows not defeat.Eventually, she emerges victorious and so will I, and with each victory the next struggle becomes less difficult.自然界不知何谓失败,终以胜利者的姿态出现,我也要如此,因为成功一旦降临,就会再度光顾。
I will win, and I will become a great salesman, for I am unique.我会成功,我会成为伟大的推销员,因为我举世无双。
I am nature's greatest miracle.我是自然界最伟大的奇迹。
