Advice to a Young Man Remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work. If you look around you will see the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days without work are the men who work the hardest. Don’t be ...
把大的工作量作为一种推动你自己向前、学习新技能、展示你的精神风貌的好机会。抱怨只会让你精疲力竭，相反，应以乐观的态度对待每日重工作。对自己说：“这个问题，我能搞定。” What would you say when you are under work pressure, “stressed out and frantic” or “challenged and energized”? There is very little physiological difference between the two, says a growing...
Failure is a Good Thing Last week, my grand-daughter started kindergarten, and I wished her success. I was lying. What I actually wish for her is failure. I believe in the power of failure. Success is boring. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic victory. Fi...
我们的生命有些像那火焰——它也是种种力量汇合的结果，这汇合虽不断延续，那些力量却早晚要各自飘散。 Change Makes Life Beautiful To regard all things and principles of things as inconstant modes or fashions has more and more become the tendency of modern thought. Let us begin with that which is without——our physical life. Fix upon it in one of its more exquisite intervals, the mom...
信念始于内心对机缘深信不疑。信念是心底深信善良能战胜邪恶，太阳会在暴风雨中升起。当你看不清方向时请心怀信念；并乐于在黑暗中前行；坚信只要你努力奋斗，前进的路上总会有收获。这一切其实就是成功。 Faith begins by believing in your heart that what is right has a chance. Faith is knowing in your heart that good can overcome evil, that the sun can shine in a rainstorm. Faith is peace...
Encouragement Can Work Miracles Someone said that encouragement is simply reminding a person of the “shoulders” he’s standing on, the heritage he’s been given. That’s what happened when a young man, the son of a star baseball player, was drafted by one of the minor-league teams. Hard as he tried, his first season was disappointing, and by midseason he expected to be released...
Since the prehistoric times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. Be it hunger, shelter or search for a mate, he has always manipulated the circumstances to the best of his advantages. Probably this might be the reason why we human are the most developed of all living species on the earth, and probably also in the universe. As we climbed the steps of evolution with gian...
It’s Never Too Late to Change Age is no criterion when it comes to changing your life. In fact, it might be just the opposite. The older we get, the more we must change. Change is what keeps us fresh and innovative. Change is what keeps us from getting stale and stuck in a rut. Change is what keeps us young. This is not easy. When we are young it’s easy to change and e...
水中倒影的美，清澈的水潭本身的美，这都是些转眼即逝的事物所体现的强烈而动人心扉的美——海水一旦漫过小洞，这种美便不复存在了。 At the Edge of the Sea By Rachel Carson The shore is an ancient world, for as long as there has been an earth and se a there has been this place of the meeting of land and water. Yet it is a world that keeps alive the sense of continuing creation and of...

It takes place in the world, interacting with others. 我们的生活不是坐在山上发呆。生活要在世界中进行，要和别人接触。 NSDA“SDcamps”全国英语演讲与辩论大赛（大学组）/SDcamps全国中小学生英语演讲与辩...
凡是意识到自我的人从今往后才是独立的；他永远不知疲倦，他明白生命苦短，所以完全沉浸于深深的而又适度的幸福之中。 Self-Awareness by Virginia Woolf The man who is aware of himself is henceforth independent; and he is never bored, and life is only too short, and he is steeped through and hrough with profound yet temperate happiness. Healone lives, while other people, slaves of ce...
你必须不断学习和尝试新的事物从而发现自己的特殊才能。时间需要你的贡献馈赠。要明白即使是特殊才能如果不经常使用而且磨练的话也会失效。因此要尽力使自己的天赋与所有的技能跟上时代。 Stick to your special talents You were born with a special talent. It may be to sing, write, teach, paint, mentor, preach, defend or befriend. You have something special to offer the world, something yo...
因而这就是生活悖论的第一个极点：不要过于忙碌而忽略了生活的奇妙，不敬畏生活。要虔诚地迎接每个黎明的到来，要抓住每个小时，不浪费珍贵的每一分钟。 The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go. For life is a paradox: it enjoins us to cling to its many gifts even while it ordains their eventual relinquishment. The rabbis of old put it this way: “A man comes to...
凡事多不得——音乐欣赏多了，娱乐享受多了，零食享用多了，或是与朋友相处久了，人就会变得对生活力不从心，再也无法聆听世间美妙的声音，无法品尝人间百味，无法饱览天下美景，无法经历花前月下，无法留住片片回忆。 Appetite By Laurie Lee One of the major pleasures in life is appetite, and one of our major duties should be to preserve it. Appetite is the keenness of living; it is one of t...
Examination — a Necessary Evil In spite of the fact that examinations have been hated by most of the students as well as some teachers for decades, they still survive and show no signs of fading away. In our system of education today, examinations are a common feature. Our present education system has often been criticized as too examination-oriented. However, one must remem...
它是最有耐心，最令人愉悦的伴侣。在我们穷愁潦倒，临危遭难时，它也不会抛弃我们，对我们总是一如既往地亲切。在我们年轻时，好书陶冶我们的性情，增长我们的知识；到我们年老时，它又给我们以慰藉和勉励。 Companionship of Books A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should alwa...
How to Avoid Foolish Opinions To avoid the various foolish opinions to which mankind is prone, no superhuman genius is required. A few simple rules will keep you, not from all error, but from silly error. If the matter is one that can be settled by observation, make the observation yourself. Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth tha...
Advise Proposed by Albert Einstein Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving.—Albert Einstein Albert Einstein was an amazing physicist. He figured out so many universal principles and equations that he...
你又会用笔写下些什么呢：爱？恨？喜？悲？生？死？虚无？万物？你写作只是为了愉己？还是为了悦人？抑或是借替人书写而愉己？你的落笔会是颤抖胆怯的，还是鲜明果敢的？你的想象会是丰富的还是贫乏的？甚或你根本没有落笔？ Suppose someone gave you a pen – a sealed, solid-colored pen. You couldn’t see how much ink it had. It might run dry after the first few tentative words or ...
