growth that starts from thinking
在思考中成长
it seems to me a very difficult thing to put into words the beliefs we hold and what they make you do in your life. i think i was fortunate because i grew up in a family where there was a very deep religious feeling. i don’t think it was spoken of a great deal. it was more or less taken for granted that everybody held certain beliefs and needed certain reinforcements of their own strength and that that came through your belief in god and your knowledge of prayer.
我的信念是什么，它在我的人生中起到了什么作用------这些问题我觉得很难用言语解释清楚。我认为自己很幸运，因为我出生在一个笃信宗教的家庭。家里人对宗教谈论得并不多。每个人心中或多或少都有某些信仰，都希望通过某种方式获得力量，而这力量就来自信奉上帝并懂得如何祈祷。
but as i grew older i questioned a great many of the things that i knew very well my grandmother who had brought me up had taken for granted. and i think i might have been a quite difficult person to live with if it hadn’t been for the fact that my husband once said it didn’t do you any harm to learn those things, so why not let your children learn them? when they grow up they’ll think things out for themselves.
我是在祖母身边长大的。随着年龄的增长，我对许多祖母视作理所当然的事产生了怀疑。我甚至拒绝让孩子们接触这些东西，似乎成了一个不近情理的人。直到有一次我丈夫劝我，这些东西你年少时也接触过，对你也并无坏处。既然如此，何不让孩子们也有了解它们的机会呢?他们长大以后会独立思考这些问题的。
and that gave me a feeling that perhaps that’s what we all must do—think out for ourselves what we could believe and how we could live by it. and so i came to the conclusion that you had to use this life to develop the very best that you could develop.
他的话使我感到或许我们每个人都应该这样做------独立思考自己应该信仰什么以及如何在生活中坚守自己的的信仰。我认为人一生就应该尽全力做最好的自己------我想这就是我的信仰。
i don’t know whether i believe in a future life. i believe that all that you go through here must have some value, therefore there must be some reason. and there must be some “going on.” how exactly that happens i’ve never been able to decide. there is a future—that i’m sure of. but how, that i don’t know. and i came to feel that it didn’t really matter very much because whatever the future held you’d have to face it when you came to it, just as whatever life holds you have to face it exactly the same way. and the important thing was that you never let down doing the best that you were able to do—it might be poor because you might not have very much within you to give, or to help other people with, or to live your life with. but as long as you did the very best that you were able to do, then that was what you were put here to do and that was what you were accomplishing by being here.
我不知道自己是否相信未来。我相信的是我们现在经历的一切一定有价值，因此必有某些道理，也必然预示着有些事情“将要发生”。但这些事情如何发生，我却不能决定。一定有未来------对此我深信不疑。但它会怎样降临。我不知道，然而着一点，我渐渐感到并不重要。因为无论未来如何，我们到时候总得面对，正如无论生活中发生了什么，我们都必须面对一样。真正重要的是要倾尽自己的全力。也许你能力有限、贡献不多，无法给予他人更多的帮助，或者无法活得那么精彩，但只要你能倾尽自己的全力，你就能完成来到人世间的使命，能体现人生的价值。
and so i have tried to follow that out—and not to worry about the future or what was going to happen. i think i am pretty much of a fatalist. you have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give.
这就是我一直奉行的生活原则------不担心未来的事，也不为下一刻发生的事操心。我想我算是一个相信宿命的人吧。无论发生什么，我们都得勇敢面对，关键是面对的时候我们要勇敢，要倾尽自己的全力。

失败的额外收益和想象力的重要性
the knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. you will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more to me than any qualification i ever earned.
经历了挫折，你变得更加智慧，更加坚强，这意味着你有独立生存的能力。只有经过了逆境的考验，你才能真正了解自己，才能真正知道周围的人所赋予你的力量。这种认识是真正的财富，虽然历经千辛万苦，但这比我以前获得的任何资格证书都有价值。
so given a time turner, i would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. your qualifications, your cv, are not your life, though you will meet many people of my age and older who confuse the two. life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone’s total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes.
如果我有一台时光转换器，我会告诉21岁的自己，一个人的幸福在于知道人生不只是一份只有收获和成就的表单。资格证书和个人简历不是你们的生活，虽然你们将会遇到很多与我同龄或年龄比我大的人将二者混为一谈，生活艰辛而复杂，是任何人都无法完全掌控 的。谦恭地了解了这一点，你才能从容面对人生的变迁。
you might think i chose my second theme, the importance of imagination, because of the part it played in rebuilding my life, but that is not wholly so. though i personally will defend the value of bedtime stories to my last gasp, i have learned to value imagination in a much broader sense. imagination is not only the uniquely human capacity to envision that which is not, and therefore the fount of all invention and innovation. in its arguably most transformative and revelatory capacity, it is the power that enables us to empathise with humans whose experiences we have never shared.
至于为什么选择第二个主题——想象力的重要性，你们可能会认为是因为它对我重建生活所起的作用，但事实并非完全如此。虽然我坚持睡前故事对孩子的想象力有很大的价值，但我学会了在更广泛的意义上去理解想象力。想象力不仅仅是人类特有的设想不存在的事物的能力，还是所有发明和创新的源泉。毋庸置疑，想象力是最富转换性和启发性的力量，这种力量能使我们与有着不同经历的人们产生共鸣。

什么使我胸怀宽广
what makes me feel big
j. frank dobie
“my mind is big when i look at you and talk to you,” chief eagle of the pawnees said to george bird grinnell when, after years of absence, that noble writer appeared at his friend’s tepee.
it is very difficult in drawing up a credo to be severely honest about one’s self, to avoid all traditional cant. we actually believe in what we value most. outside of the realms of carnality and property, which men appearing in public generally pretend not to notice, i believe in and draw nourishment from whatever makes me feel big.
i believe in a supreme power, unknowable and impersonal, whose handiwork the soul-enlarging firmament declares. however, i believe in questionings, doubtings, searchings, skepticism, and i discredit credu lity or blind faith. the progress of man is based on disbelief of the commonly accepted. the noblest minds and natures of human history have thought and sung, lived and died, trying to budge the status quo towards a larger and fuller status.
i am sustained by a belief in evolution—the increasing purpose of life in which the rational is, with geological slowness, evolving out of the irrational. to believe that goodness and wisdom and righteousness, in garden of eden perfection, lie somewhere far ahead instead of farther and farther behind, gives me hope and somewhat explains existence. this is a long view. i do not pretend that it is a view always present in me. it does raise me when i have it, however.
i feel no resentment so strongly as that against forces which make men and women afraid to speak out forthrightly. the noblest satisfaction i have is in witnessing the up movement of suppressed individuals and people. i make no pretense to having rid myself of all prejudices, but at times when i have discovered myself freed from certain prejudices, i have felt rare exhilaration.
for me, the beautiful resides in the physical, but it is spiritual. i have never heard a sermon as spiritual in either phrase or fact as, “waters on a starry night are beautiful and free.” no hymn lifts my heart higher than the morning call of the bobwhite or the long fluting cry of sandhill cranes out of the sky at dusk. i have never smelled incense in a church as refining to the spirit as a spring breeze laden with aroma from a field of bluebonnets.
not all hard truths are beautiful, but beauty is truth. it incorporates love and is incorporated by love. it is the goal of all great art. its presence everywhere makes it free to all. it is not so abstract as justice, but beauty and intellectual freedom and justice, all incorporating truth and goodness, are constant sustainers to my mind and spirit.
并非所有坚定的真理都是美好的，但“美即是真”。所有伟大的艺术都追求这样的目标，即美融合爱，也被爱所融合。它无处不在，唾手可得。
在离开朋友波尼族印第安人首领雄鹰的兽皮帐篷几年后，作家乔治.伯德.格林又回到那里。这位首领对他高尚的朋友说：“凝视着你，与你交谈，让我感到心胸宽广。”
我们很难为自己拟出一个既能严格遵守又能避免传统教条的信念。事实上，我们最为珍视的东西便是我们的信仰。除了人们在公共场合总会假装视而不见的俗念与财产之外，所有能让我胸怀宽广的都是我的信仰，它们是我力量的源泉。
我相信有一种至高无上且无法控制的未知力量，它的创造，宣告了灵魂拥有无限伸展的空间。然而，我也相信询问、质疑、探索与怀疑，但拒绝轻信或盲从的信仰。人类的进步是基于对普遍接受的质疑。人类历史上，拥有最高尚思想的人们曾经思考过，歌唱过，生活过，最终离去，他们也曾努力扩展并充实现状。我始终相信进化论，即生活目的在不断增加，而其中从非理性到理性的进化时间就像地质变化一样漫长。我相信，伊甸园中完美的善良、智慧与正义就在遥远的前方，给予我希望，并或多或少地解释了生存的意义。这是一个长远的观点。我不会假装认为，自己始终拥有这样的观点。然而，当我拥有它时，我的灵魂的确得到了升华。
使人不敢坦诚言论的势力，是我最为憎恨的。当看到受压迫的个人与民族奋起反抗时，我便会心生敬慕，感到满足。我并不伪称自己已经摒弃了所有的偏见，但有时当我发现自己摆脱了某些偏见时，我就会狂喜不已。
我认为，美虽然存在于肉体，但却属于精神。我从未听说过，有哪句布道词能从言辞或事实上表现出这样的精神美：
“夜晚繁星点点，湖水自由荡漾。”
北美鸠清晨的鸣唱或黄昏时天空中沙丘鹤笛鸣般的长吟，是任何赞美诗都无法媲美的`。柔和的春风中弥漫着田野间矢车菊的芳香，让我的灵魂也更加高尚，这是教堂中任何焚香都无法比拟的。并非所有坚定的真理都是美好的，但“美即是真”。所有伟大的艺术都追求这样的目标，即美融合爱，也被爱所融合。它无处不在，唾手可得。它不像正义那样抽象，但美、心智的自由及正义，都与真与善融合，这便是我思想与精神的永恒支柱。

励志英语美文摘抄
Stay True to Yourself
做真正的自己
But my idea of success is different today. And as you grow, you'll realise the definition of success changes. For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity, and not to give into peer pressure; to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person; to contribute in some way. So to conclude my conclusion: follow your Passion, stay true to yourself. Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path, and by all means you should follow that. Don't give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Don't take anyone's advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.
但今日我对成功的定义变了，当你长大，你就会发现这点。对你们中的很多人来说，成功的定义是能灌下20杯龙舌兰酒。对我来说，生命中最重妥的事是:活得诚实!别屈从于同伴的压力，把自己变成本不是的那个人。要活得真诚，有怜悯之心，在某些方面有所贡献。这是结论的结论，追随热情，忠于自我。绝不要追随别人的脚步，除非你在森林里迷了路才要这么做。那时你真的该那样做。别给人忠告，它们会给你带来麻烦。也别接受任何人的忠告。那么，我要给大家的忠告是，做真正的自己，一切都会顺利的。
And I know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, but there's no need to worry. The economy is booming, the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine It's gonna be great. You've already survived a hurricane What else can happen to you? And as I mentioned before, some of the most devastating things that happen to you will teach you the most. And now you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview. Like, "Is it above sea level?". So to conclude my conclusion that I've previously concluded, in the common cement speech, I guess what I'm trying to say is life is like one big Mardi Gras. But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they see, you'll have more beads than you know what to do with. And you'll be drunk, most of the time.
我知道在庄很多人都在担心自己的前途，但不用担心，经济正急速增长，就业市场求才若J蜀，地球也好得很。一切都会好的，你们都经历过风灾了，还有什么可怕的?如我以前所说的:从最惨痛的经历中可以吸收最多的教训。现在你们知道在你们的第一场面试中该问什么样的问题了吧?比如，公司高于海平面吗?总结我之前的结论，我的"常见的水泥"演讲，我想说的是，人生就像一场狂欢节嘉年华，但请展现你们的头脑，而非胸部，如果人家欣赏的话你就有更多的金银珠宝可以使用，而且在大多时间你都会醉。

Feelings, Failure and Finding Happiness
感觉、失败及寻找幸福
The world has so many lessons to teach you. I consider the world, this Earth, to be like a school and our life the classrooms. And sometimes here in this Planet Earth school the lessons often come dressed up as detours or roadblocks. And sometimes as full-blown crises. And the secret I've learned to getting ahead is being open to the lessons, lessons from the grandest university of all, that is, the universe itself. It's being able to walk through life eager and open to self-improvement and that which is going to best help you evolve, because that's really why we're here, to evolve as human beings. To grow into more of ourselves, always moving to the next level of understanding, the next level of compassion and growth.
这个世界将教会你们很多。我认为这个世界，这个地球，就像一所学校，而我们的人生就像是教室。在世界这所大学里，有些课程会是人生的弯路或障碍，有些课程则充满危机。而我所学到的应对这一切的私、诀就是：勇于面对一切挫折与危机，世界本身就是世上最好的大学。在人生的旅途中，妥对生活充满激情，并不断提高自我，这就是进化为人类并存在于世的意义。不断提升自我，去追求人生的更高境界，去追求更高级别的怜悯和自我提高。
I think about one of the greatest compliments I've ever received: I interviewed with a reporter when I was first starting out in Chicago. And then many years later, I saw the same reporter. And she said to me, "You know what? You really haven't changed. You've just become more of yourself."
我记得我所受到的最高的赞扬之一。刚在芝加哥开始工作时，我采访了一个记者。很多年以后我们又见面了。她对我说：“你知道吗?你一点也没有变，你变得更自我了。”
And that is really what we're all trying to do, become more of ourselves. And I believe that there's a lesson in almost everything that you do and every experience, and getting the lesson is how you move forward. It's how you enrich your spirit. And, trust me, I know that inner wisdom is more precious than wealth. The more you spend it, the more you gain.
这就是我们一直努力在傲的，去做我们自己。我坚信你们会从自己做过的每一件事情上学到经验，这样你们才能取得进步。也只有这样你们的心灵才能更加丰富。相信我，内在的智慧比外在的财富更加珍贵。你运用智慧越多，你得到的也会越多。

Tribute to Diana
致戴安娜
There is no doubt that she was looking for a new direction in her life at this away from England, mainly because of the treatment that she received at the hands of the newspapers. I don't think she ever understood why her genuinely good intentions were sneered at by the media, why there appeared to be a permanent quest on their behalf to bring her down. It is baffling.
毫无疑问，她一直在寻找一个新的生活方向，她不时说起要离开英国，主要是受不了报纸对她的围攻。我想她始终不明白为什么她的真诚善意会被媒体扭曲嘲弄，为什么周围总有一股永远把她拉倒的代表媒体的势力，这些确实令人难以理解。
My own and only explanation is that genuine goodness is threatening to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. It is a point to those at the opposite end of the moral spectrum. It is a point to remember that of all the ironies about Diana, perhaps the greatest was this a girl given the name of the ancient goddess of hunting was, in the end, the most hunted person of the modern age.
我自己唯一的解释，就是真正的善与美对那些位于道德光谱另一端的人来说，是一种威胁。但是，在一切有关黛安娜的嘲讽中，也许最大的讽刺是：一个女孩子，她的名字是古代拧猎女神(黛安娜)，自己最后却成为现代社会最受围剿的一个人。
She would want us today to pledge ourselves to protecting her beloved boys William and Harry from a similar fate and I do this here Diana on your behalf. We will not allow them to suffer the anguish that used regularly to drive you to tearful despair.
她会要我们今天誓言保护她钟爱的孩子威廉和哈里，免遭相同的命运。黛安娜，我在这里代表你起誓，我们决不会让他们遭受与你那种惯于把你逼到绝望落泪的苦难。
And beyond that, on behalf of your mother and sisters, I pledge that we, your blood family, will do all we can to continue the imaginative way in which you were steering these two exceptional young men so that their souls are not simply immersed by duty and tradition but can sing openly as you planned.
另外，我代表你母亲和两个姐姐起誓，我们，你的骨肉亲人，将尽一切能力继续走你那极富创意和深具爱心的道路，引导这两个杰出孩子，让他们的心灵不是束缚在职责的传统中，而是能如你所期盼地自由地放声歌唱。

一个人何时变老
"I dread to come to the end of the year,said a friend to me recently, "it makes me realize I am growing old.”
William James, the great psychologist, said that most men are "old fogies at twenty-fiveHe was right. Most men at twenty-five are satisfied with their jobs. They have accumulated the little stock of prejudices that they call their "Principles, " and closed their minds to all new ideas; they have ceased to grow.
The minutea man ceases to grow-no matter what his years-that minute he begins to be old. On the other hand, the really great man never grows old.
Goethe passed out at eighty-three, and finished his Faust only a few years earlier; Gladstone took up a new language when he was seventy. Laplace, the astronomer, was still at work when death caught up with him at seventy-eight. He died crying, "What we know is nothing; what we do not know is immense."
And there you have the real answer to the question, "When is a man old?"
Laplace at seventy-eight died young. He was still unsatisfied, still sure that he had a lot to learn.
As long as a man can keep himself in that attitude of mind, as long as he can look back on every year and say , "I grew," he is still young.
The minute he ceases to grow, the minute he says to himself, "I know all that I need to know,"--that day youth stops. He may be twenty-five or seventy-five, it makes no difference. On that day he begins to be old.
“我惧怕临近岁末年尾”，一位朋友最近对我说：“它使我意识到我正在变老。”
伟大的心理学家威廉·詹姆斯就曾说过，大多数人“25岁时就成了守旧落伍者”。他的话是对的。大多数人25岁时就满足于他们的工作。他们已经积累了一些他们称之为“原则”的偏见，对所有新的思想关闭心灵之门;他们已经停止成长。
一个人一旦停止成长--不管他年龄多大--他就开始衰老。反之，真正的伟人从来不会衰老。
歌德享年83岁，逝世前几年才完成《浮士德》;格莱斯顿70岁时又开始学习一门外国语;法国天文学家拉普拉斯78岁死时还在工作着。临死前，他大声喊道：“我们所知的太少太少，我们所不知的太多太多。”
“一个人何时变老?”，从这类事例中对这个问题你已经有了真正的答案。
拉普拉斯78岁逝世时依然年轻。他依旧不满足，依旧感到许多东西要学。
一个人，只要他能够保持这种心态，只要他在回首过去的一年时能够说“我在成长”，他就依然年轻。
他一旦停止成长，他一旦对自己说“我该懂的都懂了”，这个时候他的青春也就完了。他可能在25岁时死去，也可能在75岁时死去，这都没有区别。就在那一天，他开始变老。

在困境中寻找成功的萌芽
There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I can not perfect myself without hardship.
Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.
I am better prepared , now ,to deal with any adversity . No matter what fate has in store for me to know that I will relish it or I will suffer it for only a brief,brief time.So very few understand this obvious truth while the rest allow their hopes and goals to vanish as soon as tragedy strikes. These unfortunately people carry with them, until they die their own bed of thorms and look to others. every day, for sympathy and attention.Adversity will never destroy the person with courage and faith
Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.
Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul as when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment may present……to make the bitter root I am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.
Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.
译文：
逆境是一所最好的学校。每一次失败，每一次打击，每一次损失，都蕴育着成功的萌芽，都教会我在下一次有更出色的表现。我再也不会逃避现实，也不会拒绝从以往的错误中获取经验，我不再因此而促成自己的失败。因为我知道，宝玉不经磨砺就不能发光，没有，我也不能完善自我。
我总是在困境中寻找成功的萌芽。
现在我已经做好准备，去对抗逆境。无论我今后面对什么样的命运，我都将细细品味他，痛苦也会很快过去。只有少数人知道这个显而易见的真理，其他人一旦悲剧降临，希望和目标就消失的无影无踪了。这些不幸的人们致死都在苦难的深渊中，每天如坐针毡，祈求别人的同情和关注。逆境从来不会摧毁那些有勇气有信心的人。
我总是在困境中寻找成功的萌芽。
现在我知道，灵魂倍受煎熬的时刻，也正是生命中最多选择与机会的时刻。任何事情的成败取决于我在寻求帮助时是抬起头还是低下头。无论何时，当我被可怕的失败击倒，在最初的阵痛过去之后，我都要想方设法将苦难变成好事。伟大的机遇就在这一刻闪现-这苦涩的根必将迎来满园芬芳!
我将一直在困境中寻找成功的希望。

和自己交谈的力量
Life is like a big swing, dangling between the depths of happiness and sadness. As soon as we descend down the slope of sadness, we accelerate over the ever-feel-good acclivity f happiness. At times of distress, when we are down we slip over an abyss of emotional trauma and frustrations. One who can rise above the occasion, is the architect of many wins over sorrows.
To come above tougher times you have to pep yourself up, when you are feeling low, lost and confused. This can be done effectively by self-talk. Self-talk is a way of talking to oneself. It can be effectively used for soul searching. When talking to ourselves, we hardly lie as our conscience controls our speech. Self talk is efficient because when we are vocal about our thoughts, it makes a larger impact on our mind. Our brain then receives the same message from the mind as well as the ears. This repetition pep talks and thoughts fine tunes the performance of brain.
Self-talk is a software, which when properly loaded onto our mind directs ourselves for better results and a healthy mind. Actually many times in our life, we find others advising us to do better in studies, sports, life etc. We usually get bugged by these people and blank our ears out of their constructive suggestions. It is because it doesn't come from within us. And when something comes from within you, you always try your best to do justice to it. Self-talk can thus ameliorate our status.
Each one of us has some good points and some bad ones. Though we hardly admit in pubic, we know in our mind that we could do better in some areas of our personal landscape. This get better attitude can be converted into a practical reality using self-talk.
If you are an introvert and you want to be the gregarious person like you friend next door, all you need to do is talk to yourself. Tell yourself with all the sincerity and emotions that "I can be like him. I am a natural born speaker. I do like people and speaking comes naturally to me. I just have to be ready to listen and speak". Suppose you love a person and want to tell him or her, then just say to yourselves "I love her with all my heart. She is the only one and I know it. If I don't let her know, it would be grave injustice on my part. Every person loves to be loved. Even she will". These are just some examples I have explained. It's up to you to program your own mantra.
If you are highly optimistic to do better, there is no better motivator than self-talk. So guys start talking.
参考译文：
和自己交谈的力量
生活像一具大秋千，总在开心和忧愁间摇摆。每当我们陷入忧愁的低谷时，我们以开始冲向开心的谷顶。在深陷悲痛，跌入感情创伤和绝望的深渊的时候，能够从中走出来的，就是战胜悲伤的赢家。
当你感觉情绪低落，失落和迷惘时，要从艰难中走出，你要不断激励自己。这可以用自我交谈的方式有效地实现。自我交谈其实就是与自己对话，它能够有效地运用于灵魂的探索。当我们和自己谈话时，我们很难说谎，因为我们的良心支配着交谈。自我交谈之所以有效，是因为我们可以听到自己的想法，这对我们思想有很强的影响力。我们的大脑像耳朵一样从思想中接受信息。重复激励的谈话和想法会调节大脑的反应。
自我交谈是一个软件，当它被恰如其分地转载我们的思想时，它就能指引我们得到好的结果和一个健康的心态。实际上我闪在生活中常发觉别人劝告自己要在学习、体育和生活等方面做得更好。我们经常对别人在我们耳边的唠叨感到厌烦，对富有建设性的建议也听不进去。这是因为这不是来自我们内心的声音。当这个声音来自你的内心时，你就会全力以赴去实现它。因此，与自己对话可以改善我们的现状。每个人都有优点和弱点。虽然我们不会在公共场合承认，我们清楚自己在个人生活的某些方面可以做得更好。通过自我交谈我们可以做得更好，这个观点就能在生活中变为现实。
如果你是内向型的，你想如你隔壁的朋友那样出众，你所要做的就是和自己交谈。充满诚挚和感情地告诉自己“我可以像他一样，我是个天生的演说家。我确实喜欢人们，和人交谈很自然。我只要准备好倾听和谈话就是了。” 假设你爱一个人，你想告诉他或她，那么就对自己说“我全心全意地爱她，我知道她是我的唯一。如果我不告诉她，这对自己很不公平。每个人都喜欢他人所爱的。她也一样。” 这些只是我用来解释的例子，怎么说取决于你自己。
如果你非常乐观地想做得更好，自我交谈就是最好的办法。所以，开始交谈吧!
短励志英语美文阅读欣赏 篇6
生命在时间的土壤里(托马斯.曼)
life grows in the soil of time
what i believe, what i value most, is transitoriness.
but is not transitoriness - the perishableness of life - something very sad? no! it is the verysoul of existence. it imparts value, dignity, interest to life. transitoriness creates time - and"time is the essence." potentially at least, time is the supreme, most useful gift.
time is related to - yes, identical with - everything creative and active, every process towarda higher goal.
without transitoriness, without beginning or end, birth or death, there is no time, either.timelessness - in the sense of time never ending, never beginning - is a stagnant nothing. it isabsolutely uninteresting.
life is possessed by tremendous tenacity. even so its presence remains conditional, and asit had a beginning, so it will have an end. i believe that life, just for this reason, is exceedinglyenhanced in value, in charm.
one of the most important characteristics distinguishing man from all other forms of nature ishis knowledge of transitoriness, of beginning and end, and therefore of the gift of time.
in man transitory life attains its peak of animation, of soul power, so to speak. this does notmean alone would have a soul. soul quality pervades all beings. but man's soul is most awakein his knowledge of the interchangeability of the term "existence" and "transitoriness".
to man time is given like a piece of land, as it were, entrusted to him for faithful tilling; a spacein which to strive incessantly, achieve self-realization, more onward and upward. yes, with theaid of time, man becomes capable of wresting the immortal from the mortal.
deep down, i believe - and deem such belief natural to every human soul - that in the universityprime significance must be attributed to this earth of ours. deep down i believe that creation ofthe universe out of nothingness and of life out of inorganic state ultimately aimed at thecreation of man. i believe that man is meant as a great experiment whose possible failure ofman's own guilt would be paramount to the failure of creation itself.
whether this belief be true or not, man would be well advised if he behaved as though it were.
没有短暂，没有开始与结束、生与死，时间也就不复存在。永恒是毫无意义的停滞，它意味着时间永远没有结束，也永远没有开始，绝对令人乏味。
短暂是我的信仰，也是我认为最重要的东西。
然而短暂，如生命的消逝，不是非常哀伤的事情吗?不!它正是生命存在的精髓。它赋予了生命价值、尊严和情趣。短暂创造了时间——而“时间正是其本质”。至少，时间是至高的，是最有用的礼物。
时间与所有富有创造力和活力的事物，及每一个达到更高目标的进步息息相关——是的，它甚至等同于这一切。
没有短暂，没有开始与结束、生与死，时间也就不复存在。永恒是毫无意义的停滞，它意味着时间永远没有结束，也永远没有开始，绝对令人乏味。
生命顽强无比。即便如此，它的存在也依赖于一定的条件，正如它有始亦有终。也因如此，我坚信，生命的价值与魅力将会不断地增长。
人同自然界其他事物之间最重要的区别之一就是，人懂得短暂、始与终，所以也了解时间是一种恩赐。
可以这么说，在人身上，短暂的生命达到了其活力与精神力量的巅峰。这并不是说只有人拥有灵魂。万物皆有灵性。但是对于“存在”与“短暂”的可互换性，只有人的大脑才能最清楚地意识到。
对于人类来说，时间就如赐予的一片土地，等待他去辛勤耕种;是一个让他不断奋斗进取，实现自我价值，不断前进向上的空间。是的，在时间的帮助下，人可以从有限的生命中获得永恒。
在内心深处，我相信宇宙中最为重要的当属我们的地球，并认为这样的信念存在于每一个人的心中。从内心深处，我相信混沌中宇宙的创造，无机中生命的萌芽，最终都是为了创造人类。我相信人类本身便是一项伟大的实验，它可能会因人类自身的罪恶而失败，但这也成为创造本身最主要的失败。
无论这个信仰是否真实，人类如果能依此行事，将会获得更为有益的忠告。

和自己交谈的力量
life is like a big swing, dangling between the depths of happiness and sadness. as soon as we descend down the slope of sadness, we accelerate over the ever-feel-good acclivity f happiness. at times of distress, when we are down we slip over an abyss of emotional trauma and frustrations. one who can rise above the occasion, is the architect of many wins over sorrows.
to come above tougher times you have to pep yourself up, when you are feeling low, lost and confused. this can be done effectively by self-talk. self-talk is a way of talking to oneself. it can be effectively used for soul searching. when talking to ourselves, we hardly lie as our conscience controls our speech. self talk is efficient because when we are vocal about our thoughts, it makes a larger impact on our mind. our brain then receives the same message from the mind as well as the ears. this repetition pep talks and thoughts fine tunes the performance of brain.
self-talk is a software, which when properly loaded onto our mind directs ourselves for better results and a healthy mind. actually many times in our life, we find others advising us to do better in studies, sports, life etc. we usually get bugged by these people and blank our ears out of their constructive suggestions. it is because it doesn't come from within us. and when something comes from within you, you always try your best to do justice to it. self-talk can thus ameliorate our status.
each one of us has some good points and some bad ones. though we hardly admit in pubic, we know in our mind that we could do better in some areas of our personal landscape. this get better attitude can be converted into a practical reality using self-talk.
if you are an introvert and you want to be the gregarious person like you friend next door, all you need to do is talk to yourself. tell yourself with all the sincerity and emotions that "i can be like him. i am a natural born speaker. i do like people and speaking comes naturally to me. i just have to be ready to listen and speak". suppose you love a person and want to tell him or her, then just say to yourselves "i love her with all my heart. she is the only one and i know it. if i don't let her know, it would be grave injustice on my part. every person loves to be loved. even she will". these are just some examples i have explained. it's up to you to program your own mantra.
if you are highly optimistic to do better, there is no better motivator than self-talk. so guys start talking.
参考译文：
和自己交谈的力量
生活像一具大秋千，总在开心和忧愁间摇摆。每当我们陷入忧愁的低谷时，我们以开始冲向开心的谷顶。在深陷悲痛，跌入感情创伤和绝望的深渊的时候，能够从中走出来的，就是战胜悲伤的赢家。
当你感觉情绪低落，失落和迷惘时，要从艰难中走出，你要不断激励自己。这可以用自我交谈的方式有效地实现。自我交谈其实就是与自己对话，它能够有效地运用于灵魂的探索。当我们和自己谈话时，我们很难说谎，因为我们的良心支配着交谈。自我交谈之所以有效，是因为我们可以听到自己的想法，这对我们思想有很强的影响力。我们的大脑像耳朵一样从思想中接受信息。重复激励的谈话和想法会调节大脑的反应。
自我交谈是一个软件，当它被恰如其分地转载我们的思想时，它就能指引我们得到好的结果和一个健康的心态。实际上我闪在生活中常发觉别人劝告自己要在学习、体育和生活等方面做得更好。我们经常对别人在我们耳边的唠叨感到厌烦，对富有建设性的建议也听不进去。这是因为这不是来自我们内心的声音。当这个声音来自你的内心时，你就会全力以赴去实现它。因此，与自己对话可以改善我们的现状。每个人都有优点和弱点。虽然我们不会在公共场合承认，我们清楚自己在个人生活的某些方面可以做得更好。通过自我交谈我们可以做得更好，这个观点就能在生活中变为现实。
如果你是内向型的，你想如你隔壁的朋友那样出众，你所要做的就是和自己交谈。充满诚挚和感情地告诉自己“我可以像他一样，我是个天生的演说家。我确实喜欢人们，和人交谈很自然。我只要准备好倾听和谈话就是了。” 假设你爱一个人，你想告诉他或她，那么就对自己说“我全心全意地爱她，我知道她是我的唯一。如果我不告诉她，这对自己很不公平。每个人都喜欢他人所爱的。她也一样。” 这些只是我用来解释的例子，怎么说取决于你自己。
如果你非常乐观地想做得更好，自我交谈就是最好的办法。所以，开始交谈吧!

在困境中寻找成功的萌芽
there is no better school than adversity. every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. never again will i contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. because i know: gems cannot shine without polish, and i can not perfect myself without hardship.
always will i seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.
i am better prepared , now ,to deal with any adversity . no matter what fate has in store for me to know that i will relish it or i will suffer it for only a brief,brief time.so very few understand this obvious truth while the rest allow their hopes and goals to vanish as soon as tragedy strikes. these unfortunately people carry with them, until they die their own bed of thorms and look to others. every day, for sympathy and attention.adversity will never destroy the person with courage and faith
always will i seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.
now i know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul as when it has to suffer cruel adversity. then everything depends on whether i raise my head or lower it in seeking help. whenever i am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, i will inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how i can turn that adversity into good. what a great opportunity that moment may present……to make the bitter root i am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.
always will i seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.
译文：
逆境是一所最好的学校。每一次失败，每一次打击，每一次损失，都蕴育着成功的萌芽，都教会我在下一次有更出色的表现。我再也不会逃避现实，也不会拒绝从以往的错误中获取经验，我不再因此而促成自己的失败。因为我知道，宝玉不经磨砺就不能发光，没有，我也不能完善自我。
我总是在困境中寻找成功的萌芽。
现在我已经做好准备，去对抗逆境。无论我今后面对什么样的命运，我都将细细品味他，痛苦也会很快过去。只有少数人知道这个显而易见的真理，其他人一旦悲剧降临，希望和目标就消失的无影无踪了。这些不幸的人们致死都在苦难的深渊中，每天如坐针毡，祈求别人的同情和关注。逆境从来不会摧毁那些有勇气有信心的人。
我总是在困境中寻找成功的萌芽。
现在我知道，灵魂倍受煎熬的时刻，也正是生命中最多选择与机会的时刻。任何事情的成败取决于我在寻求帮助时是抬起头还是低下头。无论何时，当我被可怕的失败击倒，在最初的阵痛过去之后，我都要想方设法将苦难变成好事。伟大的机遇就在这一刻闪现-这苦涩的根必将迎来满园芬芳!
我将一直在困境中寻找成功的希望。

一个人何时变老
"i dread to come to the end of the year,said a friend to me recently, "it makes me realize i am growing old.”
william james, the great psychologist, said that most men are "old fogies at twenty-fivehe was right. most men at twenty-five are satisfied with their jobs. they have accumulated the little stock of prejudices that they call their "principles, " and closed their minds to all new ideas; they have ceased to grow.
the minutea man ceases to grow-no matter what his years-that minute he begins to be old. on the other hand, the really great man never grows old.
goethe passed out at eighty-three, and finished his faust only a few years earlier; gladstone took up a new language when he was seventy. laplace, the astronomer, was still at work when death caught up with him at seventy-eight. he died crying, "what we know is nothing; what we do not know is immense."
and there you have the real answer to the question, "when is a man old?"
laplace at seventy-eight died young. he was still unsatisfied, still sure that he had a lot to learn.
as long as a man can keep himself in that attitude of mind, as long as he can look back on every year and say , "i grew," he is still young.
the minute he ceases to grow, the minute he says to himself, "i know all that i need to know,"--that day youth stops. he may be twenty-five or seventy-five, it makes no difference. on that day he begins to be old.
“我惧怕临近岁末年尾”，一位朋友最近对我说：“它使我意识到我正在变老。”
伟大的心理学家威廉·詹姆斯就曾说过，大多数人“25岁时就成了守旧落伍者”。他的话是对的。大多数人25岁时就满足于他们的工作。他们已经积累了一些他们称之为“原则”的偏见，对所有新的思想关闭心灵之门;他们已经停止成长。
一个人一旦停止成长--不管他年龄多大--他就开始衰老。反之，真正的伟人从来不会衰老。
歌德享年83岁，逝世前几年才完成《浮士德》;格莱斯顿70岁时又开始学习一门外国语;法国天文学家拉普拉斯78岁死时还在工作着。临死前，他大声喊道：“我们所知的太少太少，我们所不知的太多太多。”
“一个人何时变老?”，从这类事例中对这个问题你已经有了真正的答案。
拉普拉斯78岁逝世时依然年轻。他依旧不满足，依旧感到许多东西要学。
一个人，只要他能够保持这种心态，只要他在回首过去的一年时能够说“我在成长”，他就依然年轻。
他一旦停止成长，他一旦对自己说“我该懂的都懂了”，这个时候他的青春也就完了。他可能在25岁时死去，也可能在75岁时死去，这都没有区别。就在那一天，他开始变老。
