哲理散文雙語:生活中的“磚頭”
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something.
As his car passed, one child appeared, and a brick smashed into the Jag's side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown.
He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?" Building up a head of steam, he went on"That's a new car and that brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"Ys
"Please,mister, please,I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!"pleaded the youngster.
"It's my brother," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up.
Sobbing, the boy asked the executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be okay.
"Thank you, sir. And God bless you," the grateful child said to him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their home.
It was a long walk backs to his Jaguar a long, slow walk. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.
Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes, when you don't have the time to listen Life throws a brick at your head.
It's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick!
一位年輕的總裁,以有點快的車速,開著他的新Jaguar經過住宅區的巷道。
他必須小心遊戲中的孩子突然跑到路中央,所以當他覺得小孩子快跑出來時,就要減慢車速。
就在他的車經過一群小朋友的時候,一個小朋友丟了一塊磚頭打到了他的車門,他很生氣的踩了煞車並後退到磚頭丟出來的地方。
他跳出車外,抓了那個小孩,把他頂在車門上說:“你為什麼這樣做,你知道你剛剛做了什麼嗎?”
接著又吼道:“你知不知道你要賠多少錢來修理這臺新車,你到底為什麼要這樣做?”
小孩子求著說:“先生,對不起,我不知道我還能怎麼辦?”
他接著說:“因為我哥哥從輪椅上掉下來,我沒辦法把他抬回去。”
那男孩啜泣著說:“你可以幫我把他抬回去嗎?他受傷了,而且他太重了我抱不動。”
這些話讓這位年輕的總裁深受感動,他抱起男孩受傷的哥哥,幫他坐回輪椅上。並拿出手帕擦拭他哥哥的傷口,以確定他哥哥沒有什麼大問題。
那個小男孩感激地說:“謝謝你,先生,上帝保佑你。”然後他看著男孩推著他哥哥回去。
年輕總裁返回Jaguar的路變的很漫長,他也沒有修他汽車的側門。他保留著車上的凹痕就是提醒自己:
生活的道路不要走的太匆忙,否則需要其他人敲打自己來注意生活的真諦。
當生命想與你的心靈竊竊私語時,若你沒有時間,你有兩種選擇:傾聽你心靈的聲音或讓磚頭來砸你!
哲理散文雙語:只要敢想,你就能擁有
Why do some people move from one level of success to the next in live while others seem to be stuck in the same place they were five years ago? Successful people have tapped into a law that not many are either aware of or are willing to apply to their lives. It is the Law of Suggestion, and when used correctly and consistenty, it has the power to turn your life around on a dime.
Henry Ford said, 'If you think you can or if you think you can't, you are right!" Jesus, Himself said, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he".
Who you are today and the level of failure or success you have achieved is in direct proportion to who you think you are and what you think you can achieve. You may be stuck right now; stuck in the same old job you hate, stuck in the bitterness of anothers betrayal to you, stuck in a body that is 50 pounds overweight; I don't care how stuck you are and for how long you have been stuck, you can walk out of it in the amount of time it takes you to think your next thought. Yes, it's the truth! There is a giant of success within you just waiting to be aroused and awakened by the power of your own suggestion!
Someone once asked this question, "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time". You can walk out of your failure in any and every area of your life beginning with your very next thought. You must take captive the stinkin' thinkin' that has been allowed to run unchallenged in your mind. Negativity, self-doubt, procrastination, the lie that tells you, "This is the hand life dealt you and there is really nothing you can do about it, the lie that there are successful people, failures and mediocre people and they are born that way"; Hogwash! You are equipped to be anyone and anything you choose to be! The only difference between the successful and the failure is this, successful people engage themselves in positive self-talk and positive affirmations ***both consciencely and sub-consciencely*** daily. They are willing to fight for what they want to be and achieve, to sacrifice the momentary pleasure to live the enduring life they envision for themselves.
Are you ready to walk out of the muck and mire of defeat and failure and into the life you have always dreamed of? Then do it! Do it right now! It all begins with your very next thought. Refuse to think like a failure, replace every negative lie with a positive affirmation and remember this..."It's not what you do, it's what you keep on doing!" It takes 21 days to form any habit in your life, so be ready to fight the good fight of faith against negativity and before you know it, you will have formed a habit that will begin to direct your sub-conscience thoughts step by step right into the life you've always wished for but didn't know you could live. It's sort of like Dorothy in the Wizzard of OZ, Glenda, told her, "You've always had the power to be where you wanted to be", Dorothy says, "Why didn't anyone tell me it was as simple as clicking my heels three times and SAYING THE RIGHT WORDS?" Because you wouldn't have believed it before now!
The power of the spoken word and the spoken thought may seem too simple to be the answer to your getting un-stuck in life, but sometimes people stumble over the answer only because it seems too simple. We want a magic pill or some kind of epiphany but I'm telling you, at the end of the yellow brick road, you will descover you had the power within you all along!
為什麼有的人獲得一個又一個的成功,而有的人卻總是停留在原處,停留在五年前的狀態?成功的人往往有共同的心態,人們很少注意到、也沒有把成功者的心態應用到自己的日常生活中,這個心態就是有益的自我暗示,如果堅持有益的自我暗示,就會很快改變你的生活。
亨利·福特說:“如果你認為自己能做到,就能做到!如果你認為自己做不到,就做不到!”耶酥說:“一個人心裡覺得自己是什麼樣,他或她就是什麼樣!”
你今天成為什麼樣的人?取得了怎樣的成功?遇到了怎樣的失敗?這些都與你心中所想、所預期的成正比。也許你現在的生活停滯不前,仍舊在做著自己不喜歡的工作,仍舊在痛恨著別人的背叛,你的身體還是超重50磅而沒有成功的減肥,不管你停留在什麼樣的情形下,也不管你在這樣的情形下困惑了多長時間,只要你肯改變一下自己的思維定勢,你就可以走出困境,當你改變自己的思維定勢的時候,就是你走向新生活的時候,真的!用積極的自我暗示來喚醒和激勵自己,然後你就會依靠自己的力量獲得巨大的成功。
有人曾問過這樣一個問題:“怎樣吃掉一頭大象?一次咬一口。”只要轉換一下思維方式,就可以使你生活的各個方面煥然一新。不要再讓消極、自我懷疑和惰性在你的頭腦中棲息了,要俘虜這些負面的東西。正是這些不良思維定勢使你覺得你的生活本來就是現在這個樣子,是不可改變的;使你覺得每個人的成功、失敗都是命中註定的;你覺得平庸的人是命中註定要平庸的!噢,只要你想成功,你可以做任何想做的事,可以成為一個了不起的人!成功者與失敗者的唯一區別是,成功者總是***有意或潛意識的***積極鼓勵自己、自我肯定。他們願意為自己的目標而努力奮鬥,他們能夠為了將來的成功而犧牲片刻的休息娛樂時間。
你想走出失敗的泥沼、擁有自己夢想的生活嗎?那麼從現在開始努力吧!只要你轉變一下思維方式,不要去想失敗,取而代之的是,用積極的自我肯定來驅散失敗的想法,並一直堅持下去……。重要的不是你是否現在這樣做了,而是你是否堅持做了。這樣用21天,你就會形成新的思維習慣,準備好用自信來戰勝你的消極心態吧,你就會形成新的思維定勢,無意中,指引你一步步的得到自己想要得到的生活,而在此之前,你從沒想到過你能真正擁有自己想要的生活。就象奧茲國的仙女格琳達對多蘿西說的那樣:你有能力得到自己想要得到的一切!多蘿西說:“為什麼沒有人告訴過我,只要敲鞋跟三下,並喊合適的話語,就可以得到想要得到的?” 因為你以前從未相信過!
肯定的話語、肯定的想法就可以改變你的生活,這看起來太簡單了,但恰恰是因為太簡單了,有時許多人卻沒有做好。我們都想得到一個神奇的藥丸或者是希望有奇蹟出現,但是我要告訴你,當你走到黃磚路的盡頭,你會發現,你的身上一直都有著巨大的力量!
