　　篇一

　　充滿熱情Gain Your Enthusiasm

　　Enthusiasm is energetic, passionate, happy and powerful. By using the following tools, you can increase your enthusiasm and enjoy a rich and happy life.

　　熱情是充滿活力、激情、快樂與力量的。以下的幾點可以幫你獲得熱情,並擁有豐富多彩和歡樂的人生。

　　Make a list of all the good things in your life. You could pick a topic as broad as improving life itself or as narrow as eating more bananas. Push yourself to think of at least ten topics. Have fun with it by coming up with new topics in the future.

　　寫一張單子,列出你生活中一切美好的事情。你可以選任何話題,大到生活本身,小到多吃些香蕉。讓自己努力,至少列出十個話題。請隨時想出一些新話題加到這張"好事單"中來,並從中獲得快樂。

　　Enthusiasm requires action. Learn from cheer leaders3 by jumping up and down and shouting. duanwenw Get your body moving and laugh more. Once you do this, you are more likely to become enthusiastic.

　　熱情需要行動。去向拉拉隊隊員們學習吧。跳上跳下,盡情歡呼。讓你的身體動起來,讓自己充滿歡樂地大笑。一旦做到了這些,你便更有可能變得充滿熱情。

　　Remember that strength is something you like to do and do well. You might be a talented pianist, but if you don’t enjoy it, it’s not a strength. Whatever your particular strength is, if you can use it to accomplish something you enjoy, you will become more enthusiastic.

　　請記住,優勢是指那些你喜歡做並能夠做好的事情。你也許是位有天賦的鋼琴演奏家,但如果你不享受其中,它就不屬於你的一個優勢。無論你的獨特優勢是什麼,如果你可以利用它完成那些讓自己能夠享受其中的事,你則會變得更加熱情。

　　It is possible to want or focus on something too much, and then get disappointed and lose enthusiasm after failing to achieve it. duanwenw We ask ourselves why we worked towards that goal in the first place. If a goal is really important to us, we will pick it up again naturally, often without the thought which killed our enthusiasm last time.

　　生活中我們可能會過分專注於某一件事,從而在失敗後變得失望並失去熱情。我們會問自己最初的時候為何選中這個目標並開始努力呢?如果那個目標對我們而言真的很重要的話,我們自然會再次拾起它,並且幾乎不會再提起那些曾扼殺我們熱情的念頭。

　　心靈的一課Lesson in Heart

　　才能就是相信自己，相信自己的力量。Talents are that you believe in yourself and in your ability.

　　A lesson in "heart" comes from my little 10-year-old daughter, Sarah, who was born with a muscle missing in her foot and wears a brace all the time. She came home on beautiful spring day to tell me she had competed in "field day"——that's where they have lots of races and other competitive events.

　　這心靈的一課來自於我10歲的女兒莎拉。她的腳上天生就少了一塊肌肉，總是要戴腿箍。在美麗春季的一天，她回來告訴我她參加了“田徑節”，田徑節上有很多跑步比賽以及其他各種專案。

　　Because of her leg support, my mind raced as i tried to think of encouragement for my Sarah, duanwenw things I could say to her about not letting this get her down——but before I could get a word out, she said,

　　由於她的腿有問題，我的心劇烈地跳動著，我想對莎拉說些鼓勵的話，希望這件事不會讓她太沮喪。但還不等我開口，莎拉就說了：

　　"Daddy, I won two of the races!"

　　“爸爸，我贏了兩場比賽!”

　　I couldn't believe it! And then Sarah said,

　　我簡直覺得難以置信，可莎拉接著說：

　　"I had an advantage."

　　“我有一個優勢。”

　　Ah, I knew it, I thought she must have been given a head start——some kind of physical advantage. But again, before I could say anything, she said,

　　“啊，我知道了。”我想，她肯定被批准領先起跑了，這種來自生理上的優勢。但還是未等我開口，莎拉又說了：

　　"Daddy, I didn't get a head start——My advantage was I had to try harder!"

　　“爸爸，我沒有先跑，我的優勢就是，我必須更加的努力!”

　　篇三

　　生而為贏Reputation and Character

　　Each human being is new and unique — something that has never existed before. Each person has a unique way of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and thinking, and a unique capacity for success.

　　凡人皆生而為新，前所未有之存在。人皆有其獨特審視、聆聽、觸控、品味及思考之方式和獨一無二的獲得成功的能力。

　　The words “winner” and “loser” have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean someone who makes someone else lose. duanwenw To us, a winner is someone who responds faithfully by being dependable, trustworthy and sincere, both as an individual and as a member of a society.

　　“成功者”與“失敗者”含義頗多。但凡成功者我們並非指令他人失意者。於我們而言，成功者必須守信於人，值得信賴，態度誠懇，無論作為個人還是社會的一員。

　　Winners do not dedicate their lives to what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and do not use their energy to put on a performance, maintain pretence or control others. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, and between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind masks.

　　成功者做事不侷限於某種信條，奉行自我而不潛心於表演、偽裝自己或操控他人。他們明瞭真愛與偽愛、愚蠢與裝傻、博學與賣弄的區別。

　　Winners are not afraid to use their own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions, and don’t pretend to have all the answers. They listen to others, evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions.

　　成功者無須帶有假面具。成功者無畏於用其所學去思考。他們能明辨事實與觀點，但不佯裝無所不曉。他們聽取、權衡他人意見，但有自己的結論。

　　Winners do not play “helpless”, nor do they play the “blame game”. They take responsibility for their own lives. They don’t give others a false authority over them. Winners are their own bosses.

　　成功者既不假裝“無助”，亦不責備他人。他們對自己的生命獨擔責任，不以虛偽的權威姿態凌駕於他人之上。他們主宰自己。

　　A winner cares about the world and its people. A winner is not separated from the general problems of society, duanwenw but is concerned, kind-hearted and willing to improve the quality of life. In the face of hard times, a winner works to make the world a better place.

　　成功者心憂天下，對於社會的普遍問題，從不置身事外，而是有一顆關注的心、同情的心，全身心致力於提高人生的質量。即使處境艱難，成功者總是努力令世界更美好。
