走自己的路Follow Your Own Course
Don’t listen to those who say, "It’s not done that way."
別聽那些人的話,"這事不能那麼做。"

也許是不能那麼做,可是也許你會那麼做。
Don’t listen to those who say,
"You’re taking too big a chance."
別聽那些人的話,"你這個險冒得太大了。
Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor, duanwenw and it would surely have be rubbed2 out by today.
"米開朗基羅如果是在西斯廷教堂的地板上作畫,到今天肯定早已被抹掉了。
Most importantly, don’t listen when the little voice of fear inside of you raises its ugly head and says,"
最重要的是,當你心中恐懼的聲音,抬起它醜陋的頭說,
They’re all smarter than you out there.
They’re more talented;
they’re taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connections ..."
"那邊那些人都比你聰明,他們更有才華,他們更高大、面板更白、更漂亮、更幸運,並且認識各種各樣的人……"
你可千萬別理會。
I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you, not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others,
我堅信只要選擇一條你感興趣的路,並不排斥愛、敏銳以及與別人的合作,
but with the strength of conviction5that you can move others by your own efforts, and do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live, the chances are you’ll be a person worthy of your own respect.
而是堅定地認為,通過你自身的努力去感動他人,不把成功或者失敗作為生活的標準, 那麼你就可能成為值得自己敬佩的人。
篇二
思想與行動Thoughts and Actions
Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter.
有些人的一生都在藉口中度過。
They say they’d like to do this or that, but then they offer all the excuses in the world for why they can’t do whatever it is. No matter what the excuses are, the only thing that is usually limiting them is their own self-perception.
他們總是說喜歡這喜歡那,只是隨之給出各種理由來解釋他為什麼沒能去做。但無論是什麼藉口,唯一能限制他們行為的通常只是他們的自我認知。
If I’ve learned anything, I’ve learned that a person —any person —may do anything they set their mind on doing. duanwenw The things you need are willingness to work for what you want, patience to learn what you need to know and, most important of all, belief in yourself. You only need a seed, and then your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward.
如果說我確實明白了一些事情,那就是了解了一個人,任何一個人,幾乎可以做成任何事情,只要他們下決心去做。你需要的只是為夢想而奮鬥的意願、為學習必要知識的耐心,但是最重要的是你的自信。你只需播下一粒夢想的種子,你的信念將會隨著你一起成長。
If your self-perception is that you can’t accomplish something because you’re not smart enough, then take the time to learn what you need to know, and then your self-perception will change.
如果你自認為是因不夠聰明而不能完成某件事情,那麼就花些時間去學習所需要的知識,這樣,你的自我認知就會改變。
If your self-perception is that you can’t accomplish something because you never finish anything you start, then go and finish something and change your self- perception.
如果你自認為你不能完成某件事情常常是因為半途而廢,那麼就去做完它,將這種自我認知徹底改變。
If your self-perception is that you’re too lazy, too busy, too unworthy, too unfocused, too depressed, duanwenw or too dependent on others to accomplish great things, then you’re right. You are that because you believe you are, but in fact, you can change that! Life is change, and the past doesn’t equal the future. Your reality today is the result of your past beliefs and actions. Change your beliefs and actions, and you will change your future. Whether you think you can or you can’t, you’re right. You are what you think.
如果你自認為是因太懶惰、太忙、太卑微、太不專心、太消沉、太依賴別人而不能做成大事,那麼你是對的。你確實是這樣,因為你自己就是這樣認為的。但事實上你能夠改變。生活無時無刻不在變化,過去不等於未來。你的現在正是你過去所想所做的必然結果。改變你的信念和行動,成就你的將來。如果你認為你能或不能做什麼,那麼你是對的,因為正是你的思想造就了你。
Think about that the next time you need an excuse.
下次你找什麼藉口的時候,仔細思量一番。
篇三
本傑明富蘭克林Benjamin Franklin
Franklin’s life is full of charming stories which all young men should know —how he sold books in Boston, and became the guest of kings in Europe; how he was made Major General Franklin, only to quit1 because, as he said, he was no soldier, and yet helped to organize the army that stood before the trained troops of England and Germany.
富蘭克林的一生充滿了迷人的傳奇故事, 年輕人都應該知道:他如何在波士頓大街上兜售圖書,而後來又怎樣成為了歐洲各國君主的座上客;他如何被授予少將軍銜,但他卻辭職不幹,因為他說他沒有軍人氣度,然而正是他幫助組建了同訓練有素的英德聯軍相抗衡的聯邦軍隊。
This poor Boston boy, without a day’s schooling, became master of six languages and never stopped studying; this neglected apprentice conquered the lightning, made his name famous, received degrees and diplomas from many colleges, duanwenw and became forever remembered as "Doctor Franklin", philosopher, scientist and political leader.
這個波士頓窮孩子幾乎沒有上過一天學,後來卻掌握了六種語言,而且他終身都在鍥而不捨地學習。這個不受人重視的學徒制服了閃電,揚名天下,獲得了很多學位和證書,成為了流芳百世的"富蘭克林博士"、哲學家、科學家和政治家。
Self-made, self-taught, the candle maker’s son gave light to all the world; the street bookseller set all men singing of liberty; the apprentice became the most sought after man across the world, and brought his native land to praise and honor him.
這個蠟燭製造商的兒子自我奮鬥、自學成才,給全世界帶來了光明;這個街頭叫賣者讓全人類唱起了自由之歌;這個學徒成了全世界的人們都仰慕的人物,使他的祖國對他讚美不絕、崇敬備至。
He built America, for what our nation is today is largely due to the management, the forethought, the wisdom, and the ability of Benjamin Franklin. duanwenw He belongs to the world, but especially he belongs to America. The people around the world honored him while he was living; he is still regarded as the loftiest man by the common people today after his death. And he will live in people’s hearts forever.
他締造了美國,因為我們的國家能有今天,在很大程度上歸功於本傑明·富蘭克林的治國之術、遠見卓識、大睿大智和精明能幹。他屬於全世界,但他更屬於美國。他在世時,各國民眾尊敬他;他去世後,仍然是普通百姓心中最高尚的人。他將永遠活在人們的心中。
