知足Contentment
Contentment is such a rare state of mind that even the wisest men sometimes find it difficult to get. There is no end to what the heart can desire. We may never have all that we want, and we will always be unhappy if we can’t be satisfied with what we already have.
知足是一种难得的精神状态,甚至最睿智的人有时也会发现很难达到知足的境界。心中的欲望没有尽头。我们也许不能得到所有想要的。如果我们不能满足于我们已经拥有的一切,我们将会经常郁郁寡欢。
We foolishly ignore our loved one to search for more material possessions, only to find the joy it brings is temporary. We may lose that loved one we have ignored. We never can tell what will happen tomorrow, so appreciate and treasure people and things around us now.
我们时常愚昧地忽视我们钟爱的事物,去寻求更多物质上的拥有,结果却发现它带来的欢愉只是暂时的。我们可能会因此失去一直忽视的挚爱。我们永远不知明天将如何,所以感激并珍惜今天陪在我们周围的人和物吧。
Disappointment comes when we can’t get what we have desired or expected. The way to happiness is to learn how to control our human desires, especially the desire to have more.
当曾经的渴望或期待不能为我们所有时,失望会随之而来。通向快乐的途径是要学会控制我们人性的欲望,尤其是想要更多的欲望。
Someone once said that the constant preoccupation with desires is a sure road to misery. Don’t seek for wealth or riches. Instead, seek to be content.
有人曾说过,对欲望一直念念不忘是通往不幸的必然之路。不要追求财富,而要追求知足。

He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic. They dreaded the awful storms that raged across the Atlantic, wreaking havoc(肆虐) on the buildings and crops. As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received a steady stream of refusals. Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached the farmer. "Are you a good farmhand?" the farmer asked him. "Well, I can sleep when the wind blows," answered the little man. Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help, hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man's work. Then one night the wind howled(嚎叫，咆哮) loudly in from offshore. Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed next door to the hired hand's sleeping quarters. He shook the little man and yelled, "Get up! A storm is coming! Tie things down before they blow away!" The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, "No sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows." Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm. To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had been covered with tarpaulins(防水油布). The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops(笼子), and the doors were barred. The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down. Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while the wind blew. MORAL: When you're prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically, you have nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the wind blows through your life? The hired hand in the story was able to sleep because he had secured the farm against the storm. 适合朗读的英语文章篇2 The Art of Bouncing Back I think the center of my faith is an absolute certainty of good. Like everyone else, I get low and there are times when I feel as if I have my fins backwards and am swimming upstream in heavy boots. But even in these dark times, even though I feel cut off, perhaps, and alone, I am aware - even if distantly - that I am part of a whole and that the whole is true and real and good. I have never had any difficultly in believing in God. I don't believe in a personal God and I don't quite see how it is possible to believe in a God who knows both good and evil and yet to trust in him. I believe in God, Good, in One Mind, and I believe we are all subject to and part of this oneness. It's taken me time to understand words like "tolerance" and "understanding." I have given lip service to "tolerance" and to "understanding" for years but only now do I think I begin to understand a little what they mean. If we are all one of another, and this, though uncomfortably, is probably the case, then sooner or later we have got to come to terms with each other. I believe in the individuality of man, and it is only by individual experience that we can, any of us, make a contribution to understanding. I've always been a bit confused about self and egotism(自负) because I instinctively felt both were barriers to understanding. And so in a sense they are. I used to worry a lot about personality and that sort of egotism. I noticed that certain artists - musicians, for instance - would allow their personalities to get between the music and the listener. But others, greater and therefore humbler, became clear channels through which the music was heard unimpeded(畅通无阻的). And it occurred to me, not very originally, that the good we know in man is from God so it is a good thing to try to keep oneself as clear as possible from the wrong sort of self. And it's not very easy, particularly if you are on the stage! I am one of those naturally happy people even when they get low soon bounce back. In minor things like housekeeping and keeping in sight of letters to be answered I am a Planny-Annie. That is to say I get through the chores in order to enjoy the space beyond. But I do find that, believing in the operation of good as I do, I cannot make plans - important ones, I mean - but I must prepare the ground and then leave the way free as far as possible. This, of course, means being fearless and isn't fatalistic, because you see I believe that when I am faithful enough to be still and to allow things to happen serenely, they do. And this being still isn't a negative state but an awareness of one's true position. Friends are the most important things in my life - that and the wonder of being necessary to someone. But these things pass and in end one is alone with God. I'm not nearly ready for that yet, but I do see it with my heart's eye. I don't understand it entirely, but I believe there is only now and our job is to recognize and rejoice in this now. Now... Not, of course, the man-measured now of Monday, Friday, or whenever, but the now of certain truth. That doesn't change. Surely everything has been done - is done. Our little problem is to reveal and enjoy. 适合朗读的英语文章篇3 美国社会学家对大学 毕业 生的建议 1. Don't worry about making your dreams come true College graduates are often told: "follow your passion," do "what you love," what you were "meant to do," or "make your dreams come true." Two-thirds think they're going find a job that allows them to change the world, half within five years. Yikes. This sets young people up to fail. The truth is that the vast majority of us will not be employed in a job that is both our lifelong passion and a world-changer; that's just not the way our global economy is. So it's ok to set your sights just a tad below occupational ecstasy. Just find a job that you like. Use that job to help you have a full life with lots of good things and pleasure and helping others and stuff. A great life is pretty good, even if it's not perfect. 2. Make friends Americans put far too much emphasis on finding Mr. or Ms. Right and getting married. We think this will bring us happiness. In fact, however, both psychological well-being and health are more strongly related to friendship. If you have good friends, you'll be less likely to get the common cold, less likely to die from cancer, recover better from the loss of a spouse, and keep your mental acuity as you age. You'll also feel more capable of facing life's challenges, be less likely to feed depressed or commit suicide, and be happier in old age. Having happy friends increases your chance of being happy as much as an extra $145,500 a year does. So, make friends! 3. Don't worry about being single Single people, especially women, are stigmatized(污辱，指责) in our society: we're all familiar with the image of a sad, lonely woman eating ice cream with her cats in her pajamas(睡衣) on Saturday night. But about 45 percent of US adults aren't married and around one in seven lives alone. This might be you. Research shows that young people's expectations about their marital status (., the desire to be married by 30 and have kids by 32) have little or no relationship to what actually happens to people. So, go with the flow. And, if you're single, you're in good company. Single people spend more time with friends, volunteer more, and are more involved in their communities than married people. Never-married and divorced women are happier, on average, than married women. So, don't buy into the myth of the miserable singleton(独身). 4. Don't take your ideas about gender and marriage too seriously If you do get married, keep going with the flow. Relationship satisfaction, financial security, and happy kids are more strongly related to flexibility in the face of life's challenges than any particular way of organizing families. The most functional families are ones that can bend. So partnering with someone who thinks that one partner should support their families and the other should take responsibility for the house and children is a recipe for disaster. So is being equally rigid about non-traditional divisions of labor. It's okay to have ideas about how to organize your family but your best bet for happiness is to be flexible. 5. Think hard about whether to buy a house Our current image of the American Dream revolves around homeownership, and buying a home is often taken for granted as a stage on the path to full-fledge adulthood. But the ideal of universal home ownership was born in the 1950s. It's a rather new idea. With such a short history, it's funny that people often insist that buying a house is a fool-proof investment and the best way to secure retirement. In fact, buying a house may not be the best choice for you. The mortgage may be less than rent, but there are also taxes, insurance, and the increasingly common Home Owners Association (HOA) fees. You may someday sell the house for more than you bought it but, if you paid interest on a mortgage, you also paid far more than the sale price. You have freedom from a landlord, but may discover your HOA is just as controlling, or worse. And then there's the headache: renting relieves you from the stress of being responsible for repairs. It also offers a freedom of movement that you might cherish. So, think carefully about whether buying or renting is a better fit for your finances, lifestyle, and future goals. 6. Think even harder about having kids One father had this to say about children: "They're a huge source of joy, but they turn every other source of joy to shit." In fact, having children correlates with both an increased sense of purpose in life and a long-lasting decrease in individual and marital happiness. Having kids means spending a lot of your short life and limited income on one source of joy. You have only so much time and money and there are lots of ways to find satisfaction, pleasure, and meaning in this life.

随着全球经济一体化和科技的迅猛发展,英语作为国际语言在现代社会中发挥着越来越重要的作用。下面是我带来的英语朗诵 文章 ，欢迎阅读!英语朗诵文章篇一 Be an Optimist(做一个乐观的人) Do you see the glass as half-full rather than half empty?Do you keep your eye upon the doughnut，not upon the hole?Suddenly these clichés are scientific questions，as researchers scrutinize the power of positive thinking. Research is proving that optimism can help you to be happier，healthier and more successful. Pessimism leads，by contrast，to hopelessness，sickness and failure，and is linked to depression，loneliness and painful shyness. If we could teach people to think more positively，it would be like inoculating them against these mental ills. Your habits count but the belief that you can succeed affects whether or not you will. In part，that‘s because optimists and pessimists deal with the same challenges and disappointments in very different ways. When things go wrong the pessimist tends to blame himself.“I’m not good at this.”“I always fail.”He would say. But the optimist looks for loopholes. Negative or positive，it was a self-fulfilling prophecy. If people feel hopeless they don‘t bother to acquire the skills they need to succeed. A sense of control is the litmus test for success. The optimist feels in control of his own life. If things are going badly，he acts quickly，looking for solutions，forming a new plan of action，and reaching out for advice. The pessimist feels like fate‘s plaything and moves slowly. He doesn’t seek advice，since he assumes nothing can be done. Many studies suggest that the pessimist‘s feeling f helplessness undermines the body’s natural defenses，the immune system. Research has found that the pessimist doesn‘t take good care of himself. Feeling passive and unable to dodge life’s blows，he expects ill health and other misfortunes，no matter what he does. He munches on junk food，avoids exercise，ignores the doctor，had another drink. Most people are a mix of optimism and pessimism，but are inclined in one direction or the other. It is a pattern of thinking learned at our mothers‘knees. It grown out of thousands of cautions or encouragements，negative statements or positives ones. Too many“don’t”and warnings of danger can make a child feel incompetent，fearful—and pessimistic. Pessimism is hard habit to break—but it can be done. 英语朗诵文章篇二 A Glimpse of Music Today (当今音乐一瞥) Prior to the invention of the radio and the phonograph，the only means whereby music could be brought to a big audience was actually having it performed live. But today we have radio and film，records and tapes，and something lese，music videos! Actually the marriage of motion pictures and popular music is nothing new. The movie industry has made musical films for decades，and musical programs have been a staple on home screens ever since the first days of television. So what makes this phenomenon called“music videos”so different?Perhaps the answer could best be provided by the music recording industry By the late 1970s，record sales in many Western countries underwent a major slump，faced with competition from new leisure time activities such as video games. To fight back，record companies stepped up the production of video clips as a marketing tool for their records. By the middle of this decade，virtually every pop song that became a hit would also be presented to the public in the form of a music video. Today，pop music lovers perceive their favorite songs not only in musical terms，but also in visual terms. Music videos are so popular that they have become an important part of television programming in many countries. In the United States，there is actually al television channel which shows videos 24 hours a day. The visual style of music videos have also affected different branches of the communications media. For instance，a lot of today‘s advertising looks and sounds like pop music video. This usually means snappy editing techniques，upbeat music and striking images. Typically，most music videos run for about 3 to 4 minutes，the average length of a pop song. there is actually al television channel which shows videos 24 hours a day.

Typically，most music videos run for about 3 to 4 minutes，the average length of a pop song. 英语朗诵文章篇三 Friends 朋友 A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. 真正的朋友是一个可以援手帮助并感动你心扉的人。 There's always going to be people that hurt you，so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around. 别人常常伤害你，所以你该继续付出信任，并小心挑选你下次信任的人。 Make youself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you. 在你想了解别人也想让别人了解你之前，先完善并了解自己。 Remember：Whatever happens，happens for a reason. 要记住：任何事情的发生都有因有起。 How many people actually have 8 true friends?Hardly anyone I some of us have all right friends and good friends. 有多少人可以拥有八个真正的朋友?就我所知少之又少。但我们会有泛泛之交和好友。
经典英文文章跟读
朗诵虽是朗诵者的二度创作,但诗词本身所表现的意境美是不可忽略的,更要结合朗诵者的体会,在朗诵过程中得以升华。下面是我带来的英文经典朗诵美文，欢迎阅读!英文经典朗诵美文篇一 That's what friends do 朋友就该这么做 Jack tossed the papers on my desk—his eyebrows knit into a straight line as he glared at me. 杰克把文件扔到我桌上，皱着眉头，气愤地瞪着我。 "What's wrong?" I asked. “怎么了?”我问道。 He jabbed a finger at the proposal. "Next time you want to change anything, ask me first," he said, turning on his heels and leaving me stewing in anger. 他指着计划书狠狠地说道：“下次想作什么改动前，先征求一下我的意见。”然后转身走了，留下我一个人在那里生闷气。 How dare he treat me like that, I thought. I had changed one long sentence, and corrected grammar, something I thought I was paid to do. 他怎么能这样对我!我想，我只是改了一个长句，更正了语法错误，但这都是我的分内之事啊。 It's not that I hadn't been warned. Other women who had worked my job before me called Jack names I couldn't repeat. One coworker took me aside the first day. "He's personally responsible for two different secretaries leaving the firm," she whispered. 其实也有人提醒过我，上一任在我这个职位上工作的女士就曾大骂过他。我第一天上班时，就有同事把我拉到一旁小声说：“已有两个秘书因为他而辞职了。” As the weeks went by, I grew to despise Jack. His actions made me question much that I believed in, such as turning the other cheek and loving your enemies. Jack quickly slapped a verbal insult on any cheek turned his way. I prayed about the situation, but to be honest, I wanted to put Jack in his place, not love him. 几周后，我逐渐有些鄙视杰克了，而这又有悖于我的信条——别人打你左脸，右脸也转过去让他打;爱自己的敌人。但无论怎么做，总会挨杰克的骂。说真的，我很想灭灭他的嚣张气焰，而不是去爱他。我还为此默默祈祷过。 One day another of his episodes left me in tears. I stormed into his office, prepared to lose my job if needed, but not before I let the man know how I felt. I opened the door and Jack glanced up. “What?” he asked abruptly. 一天，因为一件事，我又被他气哭了。我冲进他的办公室，准备在被炒鱿鱼前让他知道我的感受。我推开门，杰克抬头看了我一眼。“有事吗?”他突然说道。 Suddenly I knew what I had to do. After all, he deserved it. 我猛地意识到该怎么做了。毕竟，他罪有应得。 I sat across from him and said calmly, "Jack, the way you've been treating me is wrong. I've never had anyone speak to me that way. As a professional, it's wrong, and I can't allow it to continue." 我在他对面坐下：“杰克，你对待我的方式很有问题。还从没有人像你那样对我说话。作为一个职业人士，你这么做很愚蠢，我无法容忍这样的事情再度发生。” Jack snickered nervously and leaned back in his chair. I closed my eyes briefly. God help me, I prayed. 杰克不安地笑了笑，向后靠靠。我闭了一下眼睛，祈祷着，希望上帝能帮帮我。 "I want to make you a promise. I will be a friend," I said. "I will treat you as you deserve to be treated, with respect and kindness. You deserve that. Everybody does." I slipped out of the chair and closed the door behind me. “我保证，可以成为你的朋友。你是我的上司，我自然会尊敬你，礼貌待你，这是我应做的。每个人都应得到如此礼遇。”我说着便起身离开，把门关上了。 Jack avoided me the rest of the week. Proposals, specs, and letters appeared on my desk whileI was at lunch, and my corrected versions were not seen again. I brought cookies to the officeone day and left a batch on his desk. Another day I left a note. "Hope your day is going great,"it read. 那个星期余下的几天，杰克一直躲着我。他总趁我吃午饭时，把计划书、技术说明和信件放在我桌上，并且，我修改过的文件不再被打回来。一天，我买了些饼干去办公室，顺便在杰克桌上留了一包。第二天，我又留了一张字条，在上面写道：“祝你今天一切顺利。” Over the next few weeks, Jack reappeared. He was reserved, but there were no otherepisodes. Coworkers cornered me in the break room. "Guess you got to Jack," they said. "Youmust have told him off good." 接下来的几个星期，杰克不再躲避我了，但沉默了许多，办公室里再也没发生不愉快的事情。于是，同事们在休息室把我团团围了起来。“听说杰克被你镇住了，”他们说，“你肯定大骂了他一顿。” I shook my head. "Jack and I are becoming friends," I said in faith. I refused to talk about time I saw Jack in the hall, I smiled at him. After all, that's what friends do. 我摇了摇头，一字一顿地说：“我们会成为朋友。”我根本不想提起杰克，每次在大厅看见他时，我总冲他微笑。毕竟，朋友就该这样。 One year after our "talk," I discovered I had breast cancer. I was thirty-two, the mother of threebeautiful young children, and scared. The cancer had metastasized to my lymph nodes and thestatistics were not great for long-term survival. After my surgery, friends and loved onesvisited and tried to find the right words. No one knew what to say, and many said the wrongthings. Others wept, and I tried to encourage them. I clung to hope myself. 一年后，我32岁，是三个漂亮孩子的母亲，但我被确诊为乳腺癌，这让我极端恐惧。癌细胞已经扩散到我的淋巴腺。从统计数据来看，我的时间不多了。手术后，我 拜访 了亲朋好友，他们尽量宽慰我，都不知道说些什么好，有些人反而说错了话，另外一些人则为我难过，还得我去安慰他们。我始终没有放弃希望。 One day, Jack stood awkwardly in the doorway of my small, darkened hospital room. I wavedhim in with a smile. He walked over to my bed and without a word placed a bundle beside the package lay several bulbs. 就在我出院的前一天，我看到门外有个人影。是杰克，他尴尬地站在门口。我微笑着招呼他进来，他走到我床边，默默地把一包东西放在我旁边，那里边是几个球茎。 "Tulips," he said. “这是郁金香。”他说。 I grinned, not understanding. 我笑着，不明白他的用意。 He shuffled his feet, then cleared his throat. "If you plant them when you get home, they'llcome up next spring. I just wanted you to know that I think you'll be there to see them whenthey come up." 他清了清嗓子，“回家后把它们种下，到明年春天就长出来了。”他挪挪脚，“我希望你知道，你一定看得到它们发芽开花。” Tears clouded my eyes and I reached out my hand. "Thank you," I whispered. 我泪眼朦胧地伸出手。 Jack grasped my hand and gruffly replied, "You're welcome. You can't see it now, but nextspring you'll see the colors I picked out for you. I think you'll like them." He turned and leftwithout another word. “谢谢你。”我低声说。杰克抓住我的手，生硬地答道：“不必客气。到明年长出来后，你就能看到我为你挑的是什么颜色的郁金香了。”之后，他没说一句话便转身离开了。 For ten years, I have watched those red-and-white striped tulips push their way through thesoil every spring. 转眼间，十多年过去了，每年春天，我都会看着这些红白相间的郁金香破土而出。事实上，今年九月，医生已宣布我痊愈了。我也看着孩子们高中 毕业 ，进入大学。 In a moment when I prayed for just the right word, a man with very few words said all the rightthings. 在那绝望的时刻，我祈求他人的安慰，而这个男人寥寥数语，却情真意切，温暖着我脆弱的心。 After all, that's what friends do. 毕竟，朋友之间就该这么做。 英文经典朗诵美文篇二 A church built with 57 cents - Anonymous 57美分建成的教堂 匿名 A sobbing little girl stood near a small church from which she had been turned away because it "was too crowded."I can't go to Sunday school," she sobbed to the pastor as he walked by. 一个小女孩被拦在一座小教堂外面，“因为里面“太拥挤了，他们不让我进星期日学校(在美国，星期日学校是指在星期天对 儿童 进行宗教 教育 的学校)。”小女孩向一位路过的牧师哭诉道。 Seeing her shabby, unkempt appearance, the pastor guessed the reason and,taking her by the hand,took her inside and found a place for her in the Sunday school child was so happy that they found room for her, that she went to bed that night thinking of the children who have no place to worship Jesus. 见她蓬头垢面、衣衫褴褛的样子，牧师便猜出她为何被拒之门外了。于是，牧师牵着她的小手，把她带进教堂，在星期日学校的教室里给她找到了一个位置，小女孩非常高兴。 Some two years later, this child lay dead in one of the poor tenement buildings and the parents called for the kindhearted pastor, who had befriended their daughter, to handle the final her poor little body was being moved, a worn and crumpled purse was found which seemed to have been rummaged from some trash dump. 两年后，小女孩在一间破旧的贫民屋里离开了人世。她的父母把那位曾经善待他们女儿的好心牧师请过来料理后事。当他们挪动可怜的小女孩的遗体时，从她身上突然滑落了一个皱巴巴的、破烂不堪的、像是从垃圾堆里翻出来的红色小钱包。 Inside was found 57 cents and a note scribbled in childish handwriting which read, "This is to help build the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday School. 钱包里共有57美分，还有一张小纸条，上面用歪歪扭扭的小孩字迹写道：“这些钱用来扩建小教堂，这样更多的小朋友就能够上星期日学校了。” For two years she had saved for this offering of the pastor tearfully read that note, he knew instantly what he would this note and the cracked, red pocketbook to the pulpit, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion. 小女孩花了两年的时间来积攒这份爱!牧师泪流满面地看完这张纸条，立刻意识到自己该做些什么。他把这张小纸条和红色钱包带到教堂的讲坛，向众人讲述这个充满了无私的爱与宗教虔诚的感人 故事 。 He challenged his deacons to get busy and raise enough money for the larger building. 牧师还向教堂的执事提议，通过募集资金来扩建这座小教堂。 But the story does not end there! 但是，故事并未就此结束…… A newspaper learned of the story and published it. It was read by a Realtor who offered them aparcel of land worth many told that the church could not pay so much, heoffered it for 57 cents. Church members made large donations. Checks came from far five years the little girl's gift had increased to $250, huge sum for thattime (near the! turn of the century).Her unselfish love had paid large dividend. 一家报社得知这一情况，将整个故事搬上了报纸。一个富裕的房地产商读到这篇 文章 后，把一块价值不菲的地皮以57美分的价格卖给了这个小教堂。教区的人们捐助了一大笔钱，馈赠的支票也从四面八方汇集而来。短短五年的时间，捐赠的数字已从当初小女孩的57美分增加到25万美元——这在20世纪初，可是一笔相当可观的财富! When you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple Baptist Church, with a seating capacityof 3,300 and Temple University,where hundreds of students are a look, too, at theGood Samaritan Hospital and at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of SundaySchoolers, so that no child in the area will ever need to be left outside during Sunday schooltime. 现在，如果您到费城，请参观一下拥有3，300个座位的天普浸信会教堂(坦普尔大教堂)，也不要忘了去看一看天普大学(坦普尔大学)，成千上万的学生在那儿接受教育。同时，再到撒马利亚慈善医院瞧一瞧，以及扩建后的星期日学校，如今，教区的数百名活泼可爱的儿童都可以进入星期日学校，没人会被拒之门外。 In one of the rooms of this building may be seen the picture of the sweet face of the little girlwhose 57 cents,so sacrificially saved, made such remarkable history. Alongside of it is aportrait of her kind pastor, Dr. Russel H. Conwell, author of the book, "Acres of Diamonds" Atrue story, which goes to show WHAT GOD, CAN DO WITH 57 cents. 星期日学校里面，有一个房间专门用来陈列这个小女孩的画像，画面上的小女孩是那么可爱，这个贫穷的小女孩用节俭下来的57美分创造了一段非同寻常的历史。画像旁边陈列着那位好心牧师的肖像，《万亩钻石》的作者——鲁塞·H·康威尔( Russell H. Conwell)博士。 英文经典朗诵美文篇三 Forgiveness 宽恕的艺术 To forgive may be divine, but no one ever said it was easy. 宽恕是神圣的，但是没有人说很容易做到宽恕别人。 When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge. 当你被深深伤害的时候，想要不怀恨在心是很难做到的。 But forgiveness is possible -- and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. 但是宽恕是可能的——而且这会给你的身心健康带来出乎意料的益处。 "People who forgive show less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness," says Frederic, ., author of Forgive for Good. " 《宽恕的好处》一书的作者弗雷德里克博士说。 “懂得宽恕的人不会感到那么沮丧、愤怒和紧张，他们总是充满希望。 So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more vital." 所以宽恕有助于减少人体各种器官的损耗，降低免疫系统的疲劳程度并使人精力更加充沛。” So how do you start the healing? Try following these steps: 那么，如何恢复自己的情绪呢?试试下面的一些步骤吧： Calm yourself. To defuse your anger, try a simple stress-management technique. " 让自己冷静下来。尝试一种简单的减压技巧来缓解你愤怒的情绪。 Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love," Frederic says. 弗雷德里克建议：“做几次深呼吸，然后想想那些令你快乐的事情，比如自然界的美丽景色，或者你爱的人。” Don't wait for an apology. "Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing," Frederic says. 不要等别人来道歉。弗雷德里克说：“许多时候，伤害你的人没有想过要道歉。” "They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time." “他们可能是故意的，也可能只是和你看待事物的方式不一样。所以如果你等着别人来道歉，你可能会等相当长的时间。” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset you or condoning of his or her action. 你要牢记，宽恕并不一定意味着顺从那些让你心烦意乱的人，也不意味着饶恕他或她的行为。 Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. " 不要让冒犯你的人控制你的情绪。内心里总是想着自己的伤痛，只会给伤害你的人打气。 Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you," Frederic says. 弗雷德里克说：“与其老是关注自己受到的伤害，还不如学着去寻找你身边的真善美。” Try to see things from the other person's perspective. If you empathize with that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear -- even love. 试着从别人的角度来看问题。如果你站在别人的立场上，你也许会意识到他或她是因为无知、害怕、甚至是爱才那样做的。 To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view. 为了能够站在别人的角度来看问题，你可以从冒犯你的人的立场给你自己写一封信。 Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns. 认识到宽恕的益处。研究表明懂得宽恕的人精力更旺盛、食欲更好、睡觉更香。 Don't forget to forgive yourself. "For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge," Frederic says. "But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it." 不要忘了宽恕自己。弗雷德里克说：“对于有些人来说，宽恕自己才是最大的挑战。但是如果你不宽恕自己，你会失去自信。”

经典的英文文章1
True nobility
真实的高贵
In a calm sea every man is a pilot.
在风平浪静的大海上,每个人都是领航员。
But all sunshine without shade, all pleasure without pain, is not life at the lot of the happiest - it is a tangled and blessings,one following another, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves in the sober moments of life, under the shadows of sorrow and loss.
但只有阳光没有阴影,只有快乐没有痛苦,根本不是真正的生活.就拿最幸福的人来说,他的生活也是一团缠结在一起的乱麻。痛苦与幸福交替出现,使得我们一会悲伤一会高兴。甚至死亡本身都使得生命更加可爱。在人生清醒的时刻,在悲伤与失落的阴影之下,人们与真实的自我最为接近。
In the affairs of life or of business, it is not intellect that tells so much as character, not brains so much as heart, not genius so much as self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.
在生活和事业的种种事务之中，性格比才智更能指导我们，心灵比头脑更能引导我们，而由判断获得的克制、耐心和教养比天分更能让我们受益。
I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply without. In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.
我一向认为，内心生活开始更为严谨的人，他的外在生活也会变得更为简朴。在物欲横流的年代，但愿我能向世人表明：人类的真正需求少得多么可怜。
To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true is nothing noble in being superior to some other man. The true nobility is in being superior to your previous self.
反思 自己的过错不至于重蹈覆辙才是真正的悔悟。高人一等并没有什么值得夸耀的。真正的高贵是优于过去的自已。

Be grateful to life
感恩生活
Once President Roosevelt’s house was broken into and lots of things were stolen. Hearing this, one of Roosevelt’s friends wrote to him and advised him not to take it to his heart so much.
美国总统罗斯福的家曾经失窃，财物损失严重。朋友闻此消息，就写信来安慰他，劝他不必把这件事放在心上。
President Roosevelt wrote back immediately, saying,”Dear friend, thank you for your letter to comfort me. I’m all right now. I think I should thank God. This is because of the following three reasons: firstly, the thief only stole things from me but did not hurt me at all; secondly, the thief has stolen some of my things instead of all my things; thirdly, most luckily for me, it was the man rather than me who became a thief…”
罗斯福总统很快回信说：“亲爱的朋友，谢谢你来信安慰我，我一切都很好。我想我应该感谢上帝，因为：第一，我损失的只是财物，而人却毫发未损;第二，我只损失了部分财物，而非所有财产;第三，最幸运的是，做小偷的是那个人，而不是我……”
It was quite unlucky for anyone to be stolen from.. However, President Roosevelt had such three reasons to be so grateful. This story tells us how we can learn to be grateful in our life.
对任何人来说，家中失窃绝非幸事。但是，罗斯福总统却能找到三个感恩的理由。这个 故事 告诉我们，生活中，我们应该学会感恩。
Being grateful is an important philosophy of life and a GREat wisdom. . It is impossible for anyone to be lucky and successful all the time so long as he lives in the world. smile and so will it when you cry to it. ” If you are grateful to life, it will bring you shining sunlight.
感恩是一项重要的处世哲学，是生活的大智慧。人生在世，不可能事事顺通。对于各种失败和不幸，我们要豁达大度，勇敢地面对，并想办法解决。
We should learn how to face failure or misfortune bravely and generously and to try to deal with it. If so, should we complain about our life and become frustrated and disappointed ever since then or should we be grateful for our life, rise again ourselves after a fall? William Thackeray, a famous British writer, said, “Life is a mirror. When you smile in front of it , it will also
面对困难，我们是懊恼抱怨、沮丧气馁，陷入绝望，还是对生活满怀感恩之心，跌倒后再爬起来呢?英国著名作家威廉·萨克雷说过，“生活是一面镜子，你对它笑，它也会对你笑;你对他哭，它也会对你哭。”
If you always complain about everything, you may own nothing in the end. When we are successful, we can surely have many reasons for being grateful, but we have only one excuse to show ungratefulness if we fail.
如果对生活感恩，你的生命将充满灿烂的阳光;如果一味怨恨，终将一无所获。我们成功时，有千万个理由感恩生活，而失败时，只要一个借口就会表现出忘恩负义。
I think we should even be grateful to life whenever we are unsuccessful or unlucky. Only by doing this can we find our weakness and shortcomings when we fail. We can also get relief and warmth when we are unlucky. This can help us find our courage to overcome the difficulties we may face, and receive great impetus to move on. We should treat our frustration and misfortune in our life in the other way just as President Roosevelt did. We should be grateful all the time and keep having a healthy attitude to our life forever, keep having perfect characters and enterprising spirit. Being grateful is not only a kind of comfort, not an escape from life and nor thinking of winning in spirit like Ah Q. Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.
我想，不论是遭遇失败还是不幸，我们都应该感谢生活。只有这样，失败后，我们才能发现自己的缺点和不足，不幸时，我们还能感受到安慰和温暖。这些就能帮我们找回勇气，战胜困难，并获取前进的强大推动力。我们应像罗斯福总统那样，换一个角度去看待生活中的失败和挫折，永远对生活充满感恩，才能时刻保持健康的心态，积极地生活，并能保持完美的人格和不断进取的精神。感恩不仅仅是一种精神慰藉，也不是对现实的规避，更不是阿Q的精神胜利法。感恩源于我们对生活的热爱和希望，它是我们歌颂生活的一种方式。
When we put a small piece of alum into muddy water, we can see the alum can soon make the water clear. If each of us has an attitude of being grateful, we’ll be able to get rid of impulse, upset, dissatisfaction and misfortune. Being grateful can bring us a better and more beautiful life.
把一小块明矾放入混沌的水中，我们发现，水很快就澄清了。如果人人都有一颗感恩的心，就能沉淀许多的浮躁和不安，消融许多的不满和不幸。感恩能让我们的生活变得更加美好。
这篇美文的名称是《Angel》。
【原文】
Once upon a time, a child was ready to be born. So he asked God, "How am I going to live there? I am so small and helpless."
God answered, "Among many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
The child asked, "Here I am in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile. That's enough for me to be happy."
God answered, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. You will feel your angel's love and be happy."
The child asked, "How will I learn? I don't know the language that human beings speak."
God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweetest words you will ever hear. With much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to live."
The child asked, "What am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God smiled, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
The child asked, "Who will protect me?"
God said, "Your angel will protect you even if it means risking her own life."
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from the earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly, "Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
"Your angel's name is of no importance. You will simply call your angel 'Mom'. "
【译文】《天使》
从前，一个孩子正准备出生。所以他问上帝，“我怎么在那里生活？我是如此的渺小和无助。”
上帝回答说：“在众多天使中，我为你选择了一个。她会等你，会照顾你的。”
孩子问：“我在天堂，除了唱歌和微笑，我什么也不做。这就足够让我开心了。”
上帝回答说：“你的天使会为你歌唱，也会每天为你微笑。你会感受到天使的爱，并感到幸福。”
孩子问：“我要怎么学？”？我不懂人类的语言。”
上帝说：“你的天使会告诉你你所听到的最美丽、最甜蜜的话语。你的天使会以极大的耐心和细心教导你如何生活。”
孩子问：“当我想和你说话的时候，我该怎么办？”
上帝微笑着说：“你的天使会把你的手放在一起，教你如何祈祷。”
孩子问：“谁来保护我？”
上帝说：“你的天使会保护你，即使这意味着冒着生命危险。”
那一刻，天堂里非常平静，但是已经可以听到来自大地的声音，急急忙忙的孩子轻声问道：“哦，上帝，如果我现在就要离开，请告诉我我的天使的名字。”
“你天使的名字不重要。你只要叫你的天使‘妈妈’。”

有时候多看些励志的小短文可以提高自己的英语水平哦。下面是我给大家整理的英语经典励志小短文，供大家参阅!
英语经典励志小短文：赶走内心里那些消极的声音
The mind is a powerful thing, and in a nanosecond, it can elevate or crush our mood. There’s a real problem when we start buying into the negative thoughts we have about ourselves。
我们的内心非常强大，在一瞬间就会提升或毁掉我们的心情。而真正的问题在于，如何将内心深处那些消极想法通通赶出去。
Many of us have problems with negative thoughts playing on the channel of our minds, but if you’re engaging in it consistently, and you believe it, it could be eroding your sense of self-esteem. Here are a few beliefs that indicate you may need to switch the station:
很多人脑海中都会不断浮现消极的想法，更糟糕的是，如果你真的时不时地去想，你就会信以为真，这足以摧毁你的自尊。如果你也会出现下面这些消极观念，那就代表你应该做点改变了。
I’m a loser. 我是个失败者。
I’m not good enough. 我不够好。
I don’t deserve…. 我不配....。.
No one likes me. 没人喜欢我。
I suck at relationships. 我不会处理感情。
I’m a failure. 我太失败了。
Negative thoughts conjures up bad feelings and hooks you into believing that what those old tapes in your head are playing is actually true. In short, it brings your focus to your failures, and that gets you nowhere。
消极的想法会带来不好的感受，在那脑海中不断的像老式磁带一般重复，也会让你信以为真。简而言之，这会让你把注意力全部放在失败的事情上，会让你彻底迷失自己。
What can you do? Here are some suggestions:你能做些什么呢?下面是一些建议：
1. Live in the moment活在当下
Self-talk is so subtle that we often don’t notice its effect on our mood and belief systems. Key things to notice are “if only or “what if” statements: the former keep you stuck in the past with regret, while the latter keep you fearful of the future. There is nothing you can do about the past, and the future isn’t here yet, so stay in the present moment。
内心的声音太微妙，有时我们根本不会注意到他们对情绪和信念产生的影响。最需要注意的就是“要是....。.多好” 和“假使....。.将会怎样” 这样的想法：前者会让你陷入对过去无尽的悔恨，后者会让你对未来充满恐惧。对于过去，你无能为力，而未来还未到来，好好活在当下吧。
2. Visualize the good things让那些美好变得形象生动
If we want to change the negative tapes playing in our heads, we have to visualize ourselves positively—that means seeing yourself non-judgmentally. Picture accepting yourself. How would that look? Draw a picture in your mind and expand on it。
如果要换掉脑海中不断播放的消极磁带，我们就要看到自己身上积极的一面，也就是说不带评判的看看自己。在内心细细描述客观接受自己会是什么的画面。细细画出心中所想，那会是什么样?
3. Recognize that actions always follow beliefs要认识到行为由信念指引
Whatever you believe, you’ll experience more of, and you’ll also find yourself behaving in ways that are congruent with your beliefs. So, start believing the best about yourself: act as if you believe that you’re a valuable and worthy person。
不管你是否相信，你以后的人生会经历更多，也会发现自己的行为和信念是相辅相成的。所以要开始相信自己最好的一面：相信自己是一个有价值的人，然后开始行动吧。
4. Pay attention to triggers留神那些“导火索”
Triggers are anything that can start the old tapes playing. If a certain person is a trigger for you, set boundaries with them。导火索可以使任何让脑海中消极磁带播放的人。如果某个人是你的导火索，那么就远离他们。
5. Develop positive counterstatements to refute negative self-talk积极反驳内心那些消极的声音
Instead of always putting yourself down in your head, think of some things you actually like about yourself. What are your strengths, what are you good at? Keep your counterstatements in the here-and-now, instead of saying “I’m not good enough” try saying, “I am capable. I’m good at ______. I accept myself the way I am。”
与其在脑海中一味的打压自己，还不如想想你到底喜欢自己什么样子。你的强项是什么，特长是什么?与其说“我不够好”，不如现在就开始说这句正能量的话语：“我有能力，我擅长....，我喜欢现在的自己。”
Thinking poorly about ourselves gets us nowhere and is extremely self-limiting. Decide today to turn off the negative self-talk channel in your mind and develop your true potential。
妄自菲薄只会让自己迷失方向，同时限制自身发展。从今天开始就关掉内心的消极频道，挖掘自身的潜力吧。
英语经典励志小短文：让将来的你感谢现在努力的自己
Have you ever been around someone who immediately put you at ease? Perhaps you may be one of those people who others feel safe around.
有没有遇到过那么个人，只要他/她在你身边，你立即就觉得安心?或许你就是让别人觉得安心的那么一个人。
What is the common thread in people who emanate warmth? Some may think it is related to personality or physical appearance. But this does little to explain why bright beacons of light can be found anywhere. Essence has nothing to do with our exterior.
那些气场中自带温暖的人有哪些共性呢?一些人也许认为这与性格或外貌有关。但这基本解释不了为什么明亮的灯塔之光四处可见。本质与我们的外在无关。
I like to believe the common thread is a universal trait we are all able to tap into. When we see the truth of who we are and wholeheartedly love every part of that truth, we automatically shine. When we embrace our essence and live in congruence with who we are, we radiate peace.
我愿意相信这个共性是我们都能够触及的、普遍存在的品质。当我们欣赏自己的本质并全心全意热爱着这一切的时候，我们自然而然就会出类拔萃。当我们欣然接受自己的本质并遵循本心来生活的时候，我们会自带平和的光环。
Every day we can choose to wake up and see the gift of getting to be who we are. When we decide to live from this way of "being," it becomes easy to see this same light and gift in everyone — even those who may not yet see it in themselves.
每一天，我们都可以选择一醒来就欣赏做自己这一项天赋。当我们决定以“本性”来生活的时候，在每个人身上，甚至是那些可能还没有开始欣赏自身本性的人身上，我们变得很容易就能看到同样的光芒和天赋了。
The benefits of self-love are many. What I know to be true without a doubt in my heart, is that we are all capable of giving this gift to ourselves.
自爱的益处有很多。我所知道的真相就是，我们都能赋予自己这项天赋，这一点我深信不疑。
These words help me remember why embracing my essence is always the best thing to do. Perhaps this may resonate with where you are.
这些话让我想起欣然接受自己的本质始终是上策的原因。或许这也会与你产生共鸣。
When you love who you are,
当你爱自己的时候，
you become a conduit of light.
你会成为一道光。
Just drop into your heart space,
只需触及心房，
and live life from this view.
并遵循本心来生活。
For all of this doing
做这一切
is not who you are.
无关你是谁。
Listen to your heart’s soft whisper,
聆听内心轻柔的呢喃，
this voice will show you the way.
她会告诉你 方法 。
Live life from your essence
遵循本性来生活
is what she will say.
她会这样告诉你。
See the light in yourself,
欣赏自身的光芒，
and your world will be bright.
你的世界都会变得明亮。
There is no need to worry,
没必要担心，
you are exactly as you should be;
你正是自己本来的模样;
remember to love who you are,
记得爱自己，
and love you will see.
爱自己欣赏的一切。
英语经典励志小短文：你是自然界最伟大的奇迹
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，都将随着时间的流逝而迟钝，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?

英语励志小短文1：
We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will effect it.
Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.
我们可以掌握神秘而不可知未来，从中创出我们所能想象任何东西，一如雕刻家可以将未成型石头刻出雕像一样。
我们每个人都是农夫。我们若种下好种子，就会有丰收。倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草，我们就会徒劳无获。如果我们什么也不种，就根本不会有什么收获。
我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中错误所污染。我们应关心未来，因为往后余生都要在未来中度过。
往昔已一去不复返而且是静止。任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去。英语短文未来就在我们眼前而且是动态。我们所作所为都会影响未来。
只要我们体会出来，每天都可以发现新知识领域伴随而生，可能是在家里，也可能是在我们事业中。我们正处在人类所努力钻研每个领域中进步起点。
英语励志小短文2：
Everybody Knows:
You can’t be all things to all people;
You can’t do all things at once;
You can’t do all things equally well;
You can’t do all things better than everyone else;
Your humanity is showing just like everyone else’s.
咱们都知道：
咱们不行能成为每个人心中那个完人;
咱们也不行能一会儿就完结一切工作;
咱们不行能总比别人强;
本来咱们人道和其别人并无差异
So:
You have to find out who you are, and be that;
You have to decide what comes first, and do that;
You have to discover your strengths, and use them;
You have to learn not to compete with others,
Because no one else is in the contest of *being you*.
因而：
咱们有必要发现那个实在自个，并展示它;
咱们有必要明晰自个首要使命，并去实行它;
咱们有必要发现自个优势，并去利用它;
咱们没有必要去和别人相比较，
由于没有人能与你竞赛那个“实在你”。
Then:
You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness;
You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions;
You will have learned to live with your limitations;
You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due;
And you’ll be a most vital mortal.
那么：
你将学会承受你自个唯一性;
你将学会区别业务主要性，并决断地做出选择;
你将学会承受自个并非圣人;
你将学会给予你自个应得尊敬;
那么你将会生长为一个优异人。
Dare to believe:
That you are a wonderful, unique person;
That you are a once-in-all-history event;
That it’s more than a right, it’s your duty, to be who you are;
That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish;
And you’ll be able to stay one up on what used to get you down.
英勇地信赖：
你是超卓，有特性;
你是这个历史上绝无仅有尤物;
做一个实在自个，这不仅仅是你权利，它更是你责任;
日子并不是一个待处理疑问，而是一个需要去爱惜礼品;
当你遭受波折时，你将有才能昂首阔步力挽狂澜。
英语励志小短文3：
If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.
假如你觉得心有余力不足，觉得缺少行进动力，有时候你只需要改动思想视点。
Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don’t leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.
一旦改换看疑问视点，你日子会恍然大悟，幸福快乐会接踵而来。别交出把握命运主动权，也别盼望局面会不行思议地好转。你有必要与心里期望与热心步调一致。树立自傲，勇于与艰难浴血奋战，而非绕道而行。记住，力气不是驾御形势法宝，攻无不克才能才是最主要。
Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in.
请深信，夸姣来临并非不行能，失误也许是成功序幕。将惊慌化作信赖，学会逾越忧虑和疑虑。让“诚惶诚恐”韶光变得“赋有成效”。不要糟蹋精力，将它投到有含义工作中去。
英语励志小短文4：
There lies in the heart of every man and woman a quiet hunger：a longing for an earth shaking significance.
在咱们每个人心中都深藏着一份无声而实在巴望：一种发明光辉人生巴望。
It can be heard in the quiet, most unedited times like when our head hits the pillow at night. As the pressures of the day fade away the voice catches our attention: “I was meant for more than this, there has got to be something more.”
这种巴望有时会在不经意安静时间，比方当咱们在夜晚将头靠落有枕头上时听到。当一天压力逐步退去，有种声响会震慑咱们魂灵：“日子不仅仅是这么，我人生能够更绚烂。”
Many people have learned to accept a life of quiet resignation, committed to maintaining the status-quo. But still, in the times we least expect it, we hear that distant call again: a call for meaning, purpose, passion, significance. It continues to haunt us, to stalk us, and as we try to silence it with reason and maturity we find that indeed, it is a fire within our bones and it will not yield.
很多人现已承受了一种抛弃寻求愿望日子，只安于现状。可是有时候就在咱们最不经意一霎那，英语勉励短文咱们会再次听到那悠远呼喊：呼喊着一种充分，有内在，赋有热情和含义日子。这种呼喊会一向回旋在咱们耳边，缠绕着咱们，即便咱们试图用沉着和成熟去缄默沉静它，咱们却发现实事上它是咱们心里骨子里一团火焰，永久不会平息。
Our suspicions are correct. There is a larger story and we have a role to play in it. It has been said that what a man does during his life shall echo throughout eternity.
咱们直觉是准确。有一个绚烂人生故事，而咱们即是这个故事主角。有这么一句话：一个人终身回肠荡气，永存。
If you are ready to find your purpose, find the voice. Go back to the places that you have heard it most clear. For some it comes in the early morning, before the cares of the day have drowned them out. For others it comes through music, or movies, or books, or it is found on a walk through the woods or on the side of a mountain.
假如你现已准备好去发现你人生意图，去倾听那个声响吧。回到那个你最能明晰接触到你心里深处当地。对某些人来说，这个声响会在清晨，开端一天繁忙之前呈现。而对某些人，它会在听音乐，看电影或读书时闪现，也或许当你在林间或山岗漫步时听到这种呼喊。
英语励志小短文5：
We'are just beginning "We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite..." I do not know who wrote those words,but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make can take the mysterious,hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine,just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.

英语励志小短文6：
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.
英语励志小短文7：
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
经典英文文章阅读短篇
阅读虽然不是一种直接的交际,但在本质上也是一种语言交际活动。下面就是我给大家整理的短篇 英语阅读 文章 ，希望大家喜欢。短篇英语阅读文章：You are special A well-know speaker started on his seminar(研讨会) by holding up a $20 bill in the room of 200. He asked,who would like this $20 bill. Hands started going up. He said, "I'm going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple(弄皱) the $20 note up. He then asked, "who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground, and started to ground into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now, crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson no matter what I did to the money, you still want it. Because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20." Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make, and circumstances that come away. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what happened, or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finally creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worst of your lives comes not in what we do, or who we know, but by who we are. You are special. Don't ever forget it. 短篇英语阅读文章：Love your mother Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called MOM though some may not say it openly to their mother. There's no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, she may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother! Your mother will be there for you, to listen to your woes your brags your frustrations, etc. Ask yourself "Have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her 'blues' of working in the kitchen, her tiredness?" Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect, though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left. Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her. 短篇英语阅读文章：Mum and growing days Those Teenage Years When you were 11 years old, she took you and your friends to the different movies. You thanked her by asking to sit in a row. When you were 12 years old, she warned you not to watch certain TV shows. You thanked her by waiting until she left the house. When you were 13, she suggested a haircut that was becoming. You thanked her by telling her she had no taste. When you were 14, she paid for a month away at summer camp. You thanked her by forgetting to write a single letter. When you were 15, she came home from work, looking for a hug. You thanked her by having your bedroom door locked. When you were 16, she taught you how to drive her car. You thanked her by taking it every chance you could. When you were 17, she was expecting an important call. You thanked her by being on the phone all night. When you were 18, she cried at your high school graduation. You thanked her by staying out partying until dawn. When you were 19, she paid for your college tuition, drove you to campus, carried your bags. You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends. When you were 20, she asked whether you were seeing anyone. You thanked her by saying, "It's none of your business."

A woman feels suddenly at home again as she remembers catching fish in the creek behind her parents’ house. 一位老人谈起他孩提时在路易斯安那故乡的小溪里游泳、钓鱼时,语调便柔和起来。一位妇女一想起在她父母屋后的小溪里捉鱼的情景,顿时感到重新回到了故乡。 My creek wound between Grandfather’s garden and a neighbor’s hillside pasture. Its banks were shaded by cottonwood3 and redwood trees. On hot summer days the clear and cold water flowed over the little beaches where I fished. 我心中的小溪蜿蜒流淌在祖父的花园和邻居山腰的草地之间,三角叶杨和红杉将两岸遮得严严实实,密不透风。英语美文炎炎夏日,清澈透凉的溪水静静地流过散满砾石的小沙滩,我就在那儿钓鱼。 Nothing historic ever happened in these creeks, but they are deep in memory. These creeks are bigger than they seem. They are a part of our hearts and minds more than powerful rivers. 在这些记忆中的小溪里从来没有发生过什么惊天动地的大事,然而,它们深深扎根于记忆中。它们比看上去要博大得多。与汹涌澎湃的大河相比,小溪更深深地融入我们的大脑和心灵。 While rivers are heavy, creeks are clear, innocent, lively and full of dreams and A child can paddle across them without a parent’s warnings. You can go to it alone, catch fish in it and swing from the ropes along its banks. Creeks belong to childhood, drawing you into a wider world, teaching you the curve of the earth. 大河积淀厚重,深不可测;小溪则清澈、纯净、活泼,充满了梦想和希望。孩子们不必担心父母的告诫即可涉水而过。你可以独自去小溪中捉鱼,在岸边系上绳子荡秋千。小溪属于童年,将孩子们带入一个更加广阔的世界,让你领略到大地起伏的轮廓。 Poet Robert Frost once wrote: It flows between us, over us and with us. And it is time, strength, tone, light, life and love. 诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特写道:"小溪流淌著,在我们之中,在我们之上,跟我们融为一体。小溪是时间、力量、乐曲、光明、生命和爱。" 经典英语短篇美文篇二 心存感激Be Thankful Be Thankful that you don't already have everything you desire. If you did, what would there be to look forward to? 心存感激吧，因为你没有得到所有期望得到的，如果都有了的话，那还有什么值得期盼呢? Be thankful when you don't know something, for it gives you opportunities to learn. 心存感激吧，因为你总有未知，才使你有机会去学习; Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. 心存感激吧，因为有艰苦的时期才使得你成长; Be thankful for your limitations, duanwenw because they give you opportunities for improvement. 因你的力所不及而心存感激吧，正因为如此，你才有机会进步。 Be thankful for your mistakes. They will teach you valuable lessons. 因每一次全新挑战而心存感激吧，正因为如此，你的力量得以增强，性格得以塑造。 It's easy to be thankful to the good things. A life of rich fulfillment es to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. 因你所犯之错而心存感激吧，正因如此，你才得到了宝贵的经验。 Find a way to be thankful for your troubles, and they can bee your blessings. 因疲惫和厌倦而心存感激吧，因为这意味着你做了改变。 经典英语短篇美文篇三 甜美的九月Sweet September September is more than a month; it is a season in itself. 九月不仅仅是一个月份,它还是一个季节。 It begins with August’s leftovers and ends with October’s preparations, but along the way it achieves its own special satisfactions. September —in its own time, at its own pace —begins with the closing of the summer. 它始于八月的余热,终于十月繁忙的准备,但在这之间,它带来了异常的满足。九月,伴着它的时令,踩着它的节拍,翩然而至,宣告夏季的结束。 With September we begin to feel the autumn. It creeps in on misty dawns and disappears on hot afternoons. duanwenw It creeps into the treetops and the leaves, then rides a tuft of thistledown across the valley and away. It sits on a hilltop and cries like an October owl in the dusk. It plays with the wind. September is like a busy squirrel in a tree, and sometimes like a lazy river. It is summer’s ripeness and richness that brought to a sweet September. 九月悄然给我们捎来了一丝秋意。它无声无息地浸入雾濛濛的清晨,却又在阳光煦暖的午后没了踪影。它蹑手蹑脚地跨过树梢,掠过些许叶子,又轻踏一簇毛蓟绕过山谷而去。它独栖山顶,像十月黄昏中猫头鹰的鸣叫;又同微风嬉戏。时而如树上的松鼠,忙得不亦乐乎;时而如慵懒的小溪,汩汩流淌。夏季的成熟与丰饶成就了甜美的九月。 Some of the rarest days of the year e in September, fortably cool but pulsing with life, with clear and clean skies, duanwenw pure air and wind free of dust. The fields still *** ell of the sweetness of cut grass. September’s flowers are less varied than those of the spring, but so abundant that they make September a second May. The goldenrod, flowering by mid-August, reaches its peak of golden abundance in early September. Late thistles show their purple everywhere, and asters4 blossom along the roadsides, in meadows, on hilltops, even in cities. 九月给我们带来了一年中最难得的时光:晴空万里,秋高气爽,清风徐来,一尘不染,生命与季节一起脉动。草场上散发著清新绿草的清香。九月花草种类不及春天,但亦是百花争荣,仿佛另一个五月。黄花在八月中旬含苞欲放,待到九月初花重四野,遍地金黄。晚蓟却争紫斗艳,引人入胜。紫菀处处绽放,在小路旁,草场中,山顶上,甚至在市区里。 We think of spring as the time of miracles, but September is also a lasting wonder. 春天是个充满奇迹的季节,但九月也是一种永恒的奇迹。

1. To lessen the pain when you have an injection from the doctor, cough!
Studies have shown that the act of a sudden cough cause less pain to a person while having the injection.
2. Push your tongue against the roof of your mouth and press a finger between your eyebrows if you want to clear a stuffy nose or relieve the sinus pressure.
This causes the vomer bone to rock and your congestion will be loosened.
3. Lay on your left side if you want to sleep after having a big full meal.
The stomach is higher than the oesophagus when you sleep on your right; thus allowing food and stomach acid to go up to your throat.
4. If you have a toothache, rub some ice on the on the webbed area between your thumb and index finger.
By numbing your hand, your pain intensity will be reduced.
5. When you have a nosebleed, put some cotton on your upper gums behind the small dent below your nose and press on it.
By giving pressure on the gums, the supply of the blood to the nose can be blocked.
6. If your throat is a little itchy, scratch your ear.
By doing so, you stimulate the nerves in the ear and create a reflex in the throat which causes a muscle spasm that kills the itchy feeling.
7. Use your right ear to listen to the phone or hear people talk at a party.
Your right ear picks up words better while your left ear picks up sounds/music better.
8. If you start to feel dizzy and drunk, put your hand on something hard and stable.
Putting your hand on a stable subject help you feel more balance.
9. Putting your tongue flat against your mouth’s roof can prevent brain freeze.
This is because brain freeze happens when the nerves in your mouth’s roof get too cold.
10. If your hand falls asleep, move your neck and head.
The compressing nerves in your neck causes your hand to fall asleep, so move it side to side can relieve that.
11. If you feel nervous, try to blow your thumb.
Blowing cool wind to your thumb can slow down its pulse and calm you down eventually.

15 Things You Might Have Misunderstood About Introverts
Introverts are a misunderstood bunch. Compared to extroverts, they think differently, act differently, and even look differently when they interact with people. But there are a lot of misconceptions about what it means to be “introverted.” Here are 15 of them:
Misconception #1: Introverts are shy.
Being “shy” and “introverted” are two completely different things. Introverts are not necessarily shy or afraid of people. They don’t just don’t prefer talking for the sake of talking.
Misconception #2: Introverts are unemotional.
Introverts may not show emotion with their facial expressions and gestures, but this doesn’t mean they’re not interested in what you’re saying. Introverts prefer to control their emotions around others and internalize them. Although someone who’s introverted may not appear engaged, this is usually not the case.
Misconception #3: Introverts don’t like working in groups.
Introverts often do their best work alone, so co-workers may misunderstand them and think they don’t want to partake in group work. While introverts do have a tendency to shut down in larger groups of people when they feel like their voice isn’t being heard, introverts excel in small group situations and enjoy working in these types of environments, as long as their opinion is valued.
Misconception #4: Introverts don’t like talking.
It’s not that introverts don’t like to talk, it’s that they prefer to listen before they talk. Introverts choose their words carefully and they think small talk is a waste of time. But, they’re more than willing to engage you in a deep conversation about topics they’re passionate about.
Misconception #5: Introverts are scared to look you in the eye.
In general, introverts may not make eye contact with you as much as extroverts. This is because they don’t feel the need to partake in social norms and rituals as much as extroverts, not because they’re “scared.”
Misconception #6: All introverts are poor public speakers.
Some introverts may not like speaking in large group settings; however, many introverts are naturally gifted speakers. And, introverts generally spend more time preparing for speeches and presentations rather than “flying by the seat of their pants.”
Misconception #7: Introverts just want to be left alone.
While it’s true that introverts prefer to “re-charge” with some quiet time reading or reflecting, they also crave human interaction and enjoy the company of others.
Misconception #8: Introverts over-analyze everything.
Introverts like to analyze situations and consider all possible scenarios before making decisions. Sometimes this can lead to “analysis paralysis,” but in general, it’s a positive trait that allows them to make tough decisions with a rational stream of thought.
Misconception #8: Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
False. Introverts may not be comfortable in crowded spaces, but they love experiencing new places, people, and things.
Misconception #9: Introverts are high strung.
The opposite is actually true. Introverts tend to be much more even-keeled and level than extroverts. They are able to objectively view all scenarios, even during times of stress.
Misconception #10: Introverts are underachievers.
Because we have such an affinity for the charismatic, personable, extroverted leader, some people assume that introverts are underachievers compared to extroverts. However, there are millions of successful introverted scientists, artists, physicians, writers, and philosophers. Achievement is not necessarily related to personality type.
Misconception #11: Introverts can “break out of their shell” and become extroverts.
Introversion is an inborn personality type that you can’t change. Many people falsely believe that introverts can (or want to) “unlearn” their quiet, passive tendencies.
Misconception #12: Introverts are rude.
Introverts get a bad rap because they don’t show emotion like extroverts do. This causes people to misunderstand them and mistake their stone-face demeanor for rudeness, which isn’t the case.
Misconception #13: Introverts are no fun.
Introverts are all about having a good time–they just prefer environments that are quieter and more low-key. They don’t mind going to parties, but they prefer to spend time socializing in their inner circle of friends.
Misconception #14: Introverts don’t make good leaders.
Introverts can be quiet but confident leaders. They are particularly effective at managing extroverts because they’re good listeners and don’t compete with them.
Misconception #15: Extroverts are happier than introverts.
Happiness has nothing to do with one’s personality type. There are happy and unhappy extroverts just like introverts. Personality type does not pre-dispose you to be unhappy.
Have you ever been misunderstood because of your personality type? If so, I’d love to hear from you below!
