英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志短文：逆境是一所最好的學(xué)校

英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志短文 逆境是一所最好的學(xué)校

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.Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul 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 take 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.譯文：

逆境是一所最好的學(xué)校。每一次失敗，每一次打擊，每一次損失，都蘊(yùn)育著成功的萌芽，都教會(huì)我在下一次有更出色的表現(xiàn)。我再也不會(huì)逃避現(xiàn)實(shí)，也不會(huì)拒絕從以往的錯(cuò)誤中獲取經(jīng)驗(yàn)，我不再因此而促成自己的失敗。因?yàn)槲抑?，寶玉不?jīng)磨礪就不能發(fā)光，沒有，我也不能完善自我。

現(xiàn)在我知道，靈魂倍受煎熬的時(shí)刻，也正是生命中最多選擇與機(jī)會(huì)的時(shí)刻。任何事情的成敗取決于我在尋求幫助時(shí)是抬起頭還是低下頭。無論何時(shí)，當(dāng)我被可怕的失敗擊倒，在最初的陣痛過去之后，我都要想方設(shè)法將苦難變成好事。偉大的機(jī)遇就在這一刻閃現(xiàn)－這苦澀的根必將迎來滿園芬芳！

英語(yǔ)美文欣賞 康拉德《青春》

背景介紹：

作者約瑟夫·康拉德(JosephConrad,1857-1924),英國(guó)著名小說家。他的中長(zhǎng)篇代表作包括：《黑暗的心靈》(HeartofDarkness)和《特務(wù)》(TheSecretAgent)等。

《青春》是康拉德的短篇小說，講述了充滿青春激情的小伙子馬洛的首次東方之旅。馬洛在破舊的“圣地”號(hào)貨船上任二副，他和同伴經(jīng)歷了水與火的洗禮，勇往直前。雖然“圣地”號(hào)后來遭到滅頂之災(zāi)，但全體水手分乘救生艇繼續(xù)前進(jìn)。馬洛指揮最小的救生艇率先抵達(dá)陌生的海岸，贏得了勝利。選文描繪的是著火的“圣地”號(hào)在黑夜即將沉入大海的悲壯情景。

Between the darkness of earth and heaven she was burning fiercely upon a disc of purple sea shot by the blood-red play of gleams;upon a disc of water glittering and sinister.A high, clear flame, an immense and lonely flame, ascended from the ocean, and from its summit the black smoke poured continuously at the sky.She burned furiously, mournful and imposing like a funeral pile kindled in the night, surround-ed by the sea, watched over by the stars.A magnificent death had come like a grace, like a gift, like a reward to that old ship at the end of her laborious days.The surrender of her weary ghost to the keeping of stars and sea was stirring like the sight of a glorious triumph.The masts fell just before daybreak, and for a moment there was a burst and turmoil of sparks that seemed to fill with flying fire the night patient and watchful, the vast night lying silent upon the sea.在黑暗的天地之間，船在熊熊燃燒，周圍海面在血紅的火光的照耀下呈紫色，閃閃發(fā)亮，殺氣騰騰。一個(gè)高大、明亮、孤獨(dú)的巨大火柱在海面上升起，火柱的頂端不停地朝空中噴著黑煙。船轟轟烈烈地燃燒著，極為悲壯，恰似在黑夜里點(diǎn)燃的火葬柴堆，由大海護(hù)衛(wèi)，由星星照看。

這艘老破船度過了辛苦的一生，最終迎來了輝煌的死亡，如同蒙受天恩，如同領(lǐng)賞獲獎(jiǎng)。它將自己疲憊的靈魂交給了星星和大海，這一幕真像壯觀的勝利慶典一樣令人激動(dòng)。桅桿在黎明將至?xí)r倒下，剎那間火星四處亂迸，飛舞的火花似乎一下子灑滿了耐心看護(hù)的夜空，灑滿了海面上那浩淼靜謐的夜空。

勵(lì)志小短文一：You are Absolutely Unique

Enjoy that uniquenesss1.You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else.You do not have to lie to hide the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else.You were meant to be different.Nowhere, in all of history, will the same things be going on in anyone’s mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap2 in history, and something missing from the plan for humankind.Treasure your uniqueness.It is a gift given only to you.Enjoy it and share it!

No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can.No one can speak your words.No one can convey your meanings.No one can comfort others with your kind of comfort.No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person.No one can be cheerful and light-hearted3 and joyous4 in your way.No one can smile your smile.No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being.Share your uniqueness.Let it flow out freely among your family and friends, and the people you meet in the rush and clutter of living, wherever you are.That gift of yourself was given to you to enjoy and share.Give yourself away!

See it!Receive it!

Let it inform you, move you and inspire you!

You are unique!

翻譯：你是獨(dú)一無二的

請(qǐng)欣賞你自己的獨(dú)特吧！你不用偽裝自己以使你看起來和別人一樣,也無需掩藏你在別人看來所具有的獨(dú)特性。

你生來與眾不同?，F(xiàn)在你所擁有的思想,靈魂,精神是任何時(shí)刻、任何地點(diǎn)的其他人都不曾擁有的。

如果你不存在了,那么上帝的作品中就有了一個(gè)缺憾,歷史也不再完整,人類發(fā)展也有了缺失。

珍惜你所擁有的獨(dú)特性。這是上天給你的禮物,請(qǐng)欣賞并學(xué)會(huì)分享它。

沒有人能像你一樣樂于幫助別人。沒有人能像你一樣表達(dá)自己。也沒人能夠表達(dá)你想傳達(dá)的意思。沒有人能用你所特有的方式來安慰別人。也沒有人能夠像你一樣善解人意。沒有人能像你一樣感受快樂、無憂無慮,也沒有人能像你一樣微笑?？偠灾?沒有人能夠把你的特性展示給其他人。

分享你的獨(dú)特性吧！盡情地將你的獨(dú)一無二展示給其他人,英語(yǔ)短文不管是你的親人和朋友還是你在紛繁復(fù)雜的生活中所遇到的路人。請(qǐng)欣賞并分享上帝給你的這份獨(dú)特的禮物吧。釋放你自己！

感知它并且接受它！

聽從你的獨(dú)特性,讓它影響你、感動(dòng)你并且激勵(lì)你前進(jìn)！

你是獨(dú)一無二的！

勵(lì)志小短文二：The Power of the Dream

When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you.Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.At every turn we come across its mystery.At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become.In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.Believe in your faith.Set the vision before your eyes.Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream.It may take one season or more, but the result is the same.Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities.The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible.For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside.But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.Dreaming is an act of faith.The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world.God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.Find your treasure within and cherish2 it.Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.翻譯：夢(mèng)想的力量

別人看你的眼睛時(shí),他應(yīng)當(dāng)體會(huì)到你內(nèi)心的活力。懷揣夢(mèng)想就像是擁有一座引領(lǐng)你前行的燈塔。

每個(gè)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)頭,它給我們帶來奇跡。每個(gè)新的起點(diǎn),我們脫胎換骨,煥然一新。孤獨(dú)中我們挺過失望的陰霾,發(fā)現(xiàn)我們的信念不曾動(dòng)搖,我們的力量依然強(qiáng)大。

秉持信念,期盼未來。許下你最真誠(chéng)的夢(mèng)想,一旦機(jī)會(huì)來臨,就為之拼搏。也許要花一季甚或更多的時(shí)間,但結(jié)局不會(huì)改變。立大志,傾全力,成現(xiàn)實(shí)。前途未卜,唯有一步一個(gè)腳印,夢(mèng)想者的至高希冀才會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)。我們必須珍存夢(mèng)想,給它一季的保護(hù),讓它在內(nèi)心悄然生發(fā)。然而我們還得溫柔呵護(hù)我們內(nèi)心至深的期許,慢慢地夢(mèng)想必將成就新的生命。

夢(mèng)想是實(shí)現(xiàn)信仰的第一步。你的期待熠熠光輝,它會(huì)驅(qū)逐不信的陰影。上帝賦予我們夢(mèng)想的天資,去點(diǎn)亮不曾確信的世界。讓夢(mèng)想的財(cái)富寄于心中,珍愛它,明天正等著你跨出第一步。

勵(lì)志小短文三：A Better Tomorrow

People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars?

We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen.Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do.If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth.History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past.These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.The main purpose of history is to create a better world.History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.In short, history helps us learn.Yesterday’s records can keep us from repeating yesterday’s mistakes.And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.翻譯：一個(gè)更好的明天

英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志短文人們常常心存疑慮,為什么歷史學(xué)家要費(fèi)盡周折地保存數(shù)以萬(wàn)計(jì)的書籍、文獻(xiàn)和記錄。

我們?yōu)槭裁匆袌D書館呢？這些文獻(xiàn)和史書有何用處呢? 我們?yōu)槭裁匆涊d并保存人類的行為、政府官員的談判和戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中的事件呢？

我們這么做的原因在于有時(shí)候經(jīng)驗(yàn)之音能促使我們停步、觀察和傾聽。也因?yàn)橛袝r(shí)候過去的記載經(jīng)過正確地詮釋,能幫助我們決定何事可為、何事不可為。如果我們想要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造永久的和平,我們就必須從人類的經(jīng)驗(yàn)以及人類歷史的記載中去探索其淵源。

從體現(xiàn)男性和女性勇敢和奉獻(xiàn)精神的故事之中,我們獲得了青春的啟示。英語(yǔ)短文歷史記載著人類的一切苦難、克己、忠誠(chéng)和英勇的事跡。這些記載在我們困惑和渴望和平時(shí)能對(duì)我們有所幫助。

歷史的主要目的是創(chuàng)造一個(gè)更加美好的世界。歷史對(duì)那些力主戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的人給以警告,給予那些尋求和平的人以啟示。

簡(jiǎn)而言之,歷史幫助我們學(xué)習(xí)。昨日的記載可以使我們避免重蹈覆轍。這些歷史學(xué)家們創(chuàng)作的像馬賽克一樣色彩繽紛的歷史片斷匯聚成了代表人類進(jìn)步的偉大壁畫。

勵(lì)志小短文四：A Little Bit More

Today is an excellent day for small improvements.Whatever is working for you, find a way to improve it just a little.There’s no need to make a huge change, just a small one, something you can do right now.If you called just one additional customer each day, over the course of the next month you would talk to about 20 new people.If you learned just one more new word each day, in the next year you would increase your vocabulary by more than 300 words.Small improvements can add up over time into big accomplishments.Look around you.Consider the work you do each day.Think about how you could do it just a little bit better.In a marathon race, each step the winner takes is just a little bit longer and a little bit faster than each stride taken by the 100th place finisher.Yet over the course of the race, that small difference adds up in a big way.Do just a little bit more today, and tomorrow too, and each day after that.Anyone can make just a small improvement, and that can make a big, big difference.翻譯：再多一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)

今天就是你可以做改進(jìn)的極好的一天。無論你在做什么,找一個(gè)方法去做一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的改進(jìn)。不用做太大的改變,只要一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)——你現(xiàn)在可以做到的一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。

如果你每天多給一個(gè)顧客打電話的話,一個(gè)月下來你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你又多認(rèn)識(shí)了差不多二十個(gè)人。如果每天多學(xué)會(huì)一個(gè)新詞,過一年,你的詞匯量將會(huì)增加300多個(gè)。

小小的改進(jìn)能夠逐步積累成大的成就。觀察你的周圍。思考你每天所做的工作。英語(yǔ)短文想一下你怎么能做得更好一點(diǎn)。在馬拉松比賽中,冠軍的每一步都只比第一百名的選手的步伐大一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)、快一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。英語(yǔ)短文但是在比賽過程中,那些小小的不同積累成了巨大的區(qū)別。

今天、明天、今后的每一天盡力做更多一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。任何人都能做一點(diǎn)小小的改進(jìn),但那小小的改進(jìn)將會(huì)起到非常大、非常大的作用。

勵(lì)志小短文五：If You Could Choose

If you could choose what kind of world to live in, what kind of world would you choose? If you could decide what would happen tomorrow, with what kinds of things would you fill it?

If you had the power to decide what types of opportunities would come your way, what opportunities would you select? If you knew that your experiences would match your expectations, what would your expectations be?

In fact, you do have the power to choose your own way.You do have the ability to decide what kinds of events, experiences, opportunities and circumstances come your way.The world you experience is the world that your dreams, your thoughts, your expectations and your actions most closely resonate*.The world you see and live in is the world you most sincerely expect to see.The universe is filled with endless possibilities, and those possibilities keep growing with every minute.The way you live determines which of those possibilities will come into your life.With your thoughts, your actions, your values, your dreams and expectations, you choose what kind of world you live in.The way you live is closely mirrored in the world you see.翻譯：如果你可以選擇

英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志短文帶翻譯:如果你可以選擇在什么樣的世界里生活,那么你將會(huì)選擇怎樣的世界呢？如果你可以決定明日之事,你將會(huì)怎樣充實(shí)它呢？

倘若你有力量決定自己的機(jī)遇,你會(huì)怎樣選擇呢？倘若你知道你的經(jīng)歷會(huì)如你所愿,那么你會(huì)如何期待呢？

事實(shí)上,你有能力選擇你要走的路。是你自己決定你將要做的事、英語(yǔ)短文你將獲得的經(jīng)歷、你將得到的機(jī)會(huì)和你將置身其中的環(huán)境。

你體驗(yàn)的這個(gè)世界和你的夢(mèng)想、思維、期待甚至行為產(chǎn)生共鳴。你看到的世界和你時(shí)下生活的這個(gè)世界就是你真心期待見到的世界。

這個(gè)宇宙充滿了無限的可能,這些可能每一分鐘都在增加。你的生活方式?jīng)Q定了何種可能性會(huì)來到你的世界。

你所選擇生活的世界取決于你的想法,你的作為,你秉持的價(jià)值理念,你的夢(mèng)想還有對(duì)未來的期待。你有什么樣的世界觀就會(huì)有什么樣的生活方式。

勵(lì)志小短文六：We’re Just Beginning

“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite?”

I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.We are all in the position of the farmer.If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest.If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop.If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.I want the future to be better than the past.I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled.We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.The past is gone and static.Nothing we can do will change it.The future is before us and dynamic.Everything we do will affect it.Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them.We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.翻譯：一切剛剛開始

“我們正在讀一本書的第一章第一行，這本書的頁(yè)數(shù)是無限的??”

我不知道是誰(shuí)寫的，可我很喜歡這句話，它提醒我們未來是由自己創(chuàng)造的。我們可以把神秘、不可知的未來塑造成我們想象中的任何模樣，猶如雕刻家將未成形的石頭刻成雕像。英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志短文

我們每個(gè)人都像是農(nóng)夫。灑下良種將有豐收，播下劣種或生滿野草便將毀去收成。沒有耕耘則會(huì)一無所獲。

我希望未來比過去更加美好，希望未來不會(huì)沾染歷史的錯(cuò)誤與過失。我們都應(yīng)舉目向前，因我們的余生要用未來書寫。

往昔已逝，靜如止水；我們無法再作改變。而前方的未來正生機(jī)勃勃；我們所做的每一件事都將會(huì)影響著它。只要我們認(rèn)識(shí)到這些，無論是在家中還是在工作上，每天我們的面前都會(huì)展現(xiàn)出新的天地。在人類致力開拓的每一片領(lǐng)域上，我們正站在進(jìn)步的起跑點(diǎn)。

勵(lì)志小短文七：Thoughts and Actions

Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter.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.If I’ve learned anything, I’ve learned that a person —any person —may do anything they set their mind on doing.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.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.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.If your self-perception is that you’re too lazy, too busy, too unworthy, too unfocused, too depressed, 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.Think about that the next time you need an excuse.翻譯：思想與行動(dòng)

有些人的一生都在借口中度過。

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么沒能去做。但無論是什么借口,唯一能限制他們行為的通常只是他們的自我認(rèn)知。

如果說我確實(shí)明白了一些事情,那就是了解了一個(gè)人,任何一個(gè)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(mèng)想而奮斗的意愿、為學(xué)習(xí)必要知識(shí)的耐心,但是最重要的是你的自信。你只需播下一粒夢(mèng)想的種子,你的信念將會(huì)隨著你一起成長(zhǎng)。

如果你自認(rèn)為是因不夠聰明而不能完成某件事情,那么就花些時(shí)間去學(xué)習(xí)所需要的知識(shí),這樣,你的自我認(rèn)知就會(huì)改變。

如果你自認(rèn)為你不能完成某件事情常常是因?yàn)榘胪径鴱U,那么就去做完它,將這種自我認(rèn)知徹底改變。

如果你自認(rèn)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,那么你是對(duì)的。英語(yǔ)短文你確實(shí)是這樣,因?yàn)槟阕约壕褪沁@樣認(rèn)為的。但事實(shí)上你能夠改變。生活無時(shí)無刻不在變化,過去不等于未來。你的現(xiàn)在正是你過去所想所做的必然結(jié)果。改變你的信念和行動(dòng),成就你的將來。如果你認(rèn)為你能或不能做什么,那么你是對(duì)的,因?yàn)檎悄愕乃枷朐炀土四恪?/p>

I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.We are all in the position of the farmer.If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest.If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop.If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.I want the future to be better than the past.I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled.We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our lives.The past is gone and static.Nothing we can do will change it.The future is before us and dynamic.Everything we do will effect it.Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them.We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.翻譯：未來盡在掌控

我不知道這段文字是誰(shuí)寫的，我一直很喜歡并用它們來提醒自己，那就是未來操之在我。我們可以掌握神秘而不可知的未來，從中創(chuàng)出我們所能想象的任何東西，一如雕刻家可以將未成型的石頭刻出雕像一樣。

我們每個(gè)人都是農(nóng)夫。我們?nèi)舴N下好種子，就會(huì)有豐收。倘若種子長(zhǎng)得不良且長(zhǎng)滿雜草，我們就會(huì)徒勞無獲。如果我們什么也不種，就根本不會(huì)有什么收獲。

勵(lì)志小短文九：Burning Your Soul Candle

I have a few candles stored in a drawer in my dining room.They’re meant for romantic dinners and special occasions, but since the arrival of our three children they have lain unnoticed among the napkins and other things.They are waiting to be taken out and lit to share their glow with anyone who will take the time to bask in their brilliance.Are not our souls like those candles, patiently waiting for someone to come and let us be ourselves? We are all waiting for our own moments to shine;we each have a special light, unmatched by any other.Candles are made up of wax and a wick;we have bodies, but our essence lies in our minds and souls.Candles are unique in their colors, shapes and designs.Our life histories and experiences are the backdrops of who we are, but our minds are like candle wicks, and make our passions flame.Unlike the candles in my drawer, who get used or not used depending on my whims, we control our own thoughts, and how brightly we will burn or dimly we will shine.Is your soul candle dimmed by circumstance or lack of passion and direction? Is it hidden in a drawer of stress, worry or resentment? Make a choice to let yourself shine the way you were meant to shine.翻譯：點(diǎn)亮心靈的蠟燭

在我餐廳的抽屜里放著幾根蠟燭。它們會(huì)用于浪漫的晚餐和一些特殊的場(chǎng)合，但是自從我的三個(gè)孩子出生之后，它們便被遺忘在餐巾紙和其他雜物之間了。它們一直在等待著被拿出抽屜，被點(diǎn)亮，以和任何一個(gè)愿意花費(fèi)時(shí)間去感受它們溫暖的人分享那些光亮。我們的靈魂不也像蠟燭么？耐心地等待有人來發(fā)掘我們，讓我們發(fā)光發(fā)亮。我們一直等待著發(fā)光發(fā)亮的一刻；我們都有自己獨(dú)特的光亮，是別人所不能匹及的。

蠟燭由蠟狀物和蠟燭心組合而成；人類有肉體，而我們的本質(zhì)卻存在于精神和靈魂中。蠟燭有它們獨(dú)一無二的顏色、形狀和圖案。我們生命的歷史和經(jīng)歷是決定我們是誰(shuí)的大背景，但是只有我們的心靈才是蠟燭心，使熱情形成火焰。與在抽屜里等著別人一時(shí)的興致來決定是否被點(diǎn)燃的蠟燭不同，我們可以決定自己的思想，決定自己能夠發(fā)光發(fā)亮還是黯淡無光。

你心中的那支蠟燭是否因環(huán)境或者缺少激情，沒有方向感而黯淡無光？它是否藏匿于壓力、擔(dān)憂和怨恨的抽屜里？做出選擇吧，以自己注定的方式去發(fā)光。

勵(lì)志小短文十：Embark on a New Beginning

It is the road you take that decides your destiny but not your destiny that decides the road you take.The question is: Are you satisfied with who you are? Are you doing what you are capable of doing? Do you get excited about what you are going to do when you get up in the morning? It is high time you asked these questions that reflect the truth about your life.More often than not we have the ability to achieve much greater things, but we get caught in the average things in life and waste our potential.Each one of us has immense ability.But most of us fail to use it.Why?

1.There is no exact purpose for your life.2.You underestimate yourself.3.You are too busy to think about any-thing.4.You are in a comfortable zone.5.You fear failure.Ask yourself, what difference am I making in the lives of others? Would you be happy and satisfied with what you have achieved? Are you following your passion? You must find what you love and what gives you fulfillment.Don’t be afraid to make a new beginning.Go deep and explore the possibilities.As you go deeper and deeper, you begin to add meaning to your life.翻譯：踏上新的征程

你所走的路決定你的命運(yùn),而不是你的命運(yùn)決定你應(yīng)該走什么樣的路。

問題來了,你滿足于你的現(xiàn)狀嗎？你正在做自己力所能及的事嗎？每天起床后,你會(huì)對(duì)自己要去做的事感到興奮嗎?英語(yǔ)短文是時(shí)候問問這些能反映自己真實(shí)情況的問題了。我們總是有機(jī)會(huì)獲得更大的成功的,但是卻又常常被日?，嵤滤?從而白白浪費(fèi)了自己的潛力。每個(gè)人的能力都很強(qiáng),但是我們卻常常無法正確利用它。為什么呢?

1.生活沒有明確的目標(biāo)

2.低估自己

3.忙到?jīng)]時(shí)間思考

4.安于現(xiàn)狀。

5.害怕失敗。

自問一下,我給別人的生活帶來了什么改變嗎？你對(duì)自己的成就感到快樂和滿意嗎？你正充滿激情嗎？你必須找到你所愛的和能給你帶來滿足感的事物。

不要害怕重新起跑。更深入地去發(fā)現(xiàn)可能性。當(dāng)你對(duì)生活理解加深的時(shí)候,你就給生活增添了意義。

第三篇：英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志短文

在閑暇時(shí)不妨閱讀一下英語(yǔ)的勵(lì)志短文吧，也許你會(huì)有不一樣的感受！下面是小編為大家收集的關(guān)于英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志短文，希望能夠幫到大家！

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living.In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.無論是60歲還是16歲，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄滅的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事業(yè)成功的歡樂與熱情。在你我的心底，有一座無線電臺(tái)，它能在多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間里接收到人間萬(wàn)物傳遞來的美好、希望、歡樂、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就會(huì)年輕多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls.Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.人的生命應(yīng)當(dāng)像河流，開始是涓涓細(xì)流，受兩岸的限制而十分狹窄，爾后奔騰咆哮，翻過危巖，飛越瀑布，河面漸漸開闊，河岸也隨之向兩邊隱去，最后水流平緩，森森無際，匯入大海之中，個(gè)人就這樣毫無痛苦地消失了。

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.青春意味著戰(zhàn)勝懦弱的那股大丈夫氣概和擯棄安逸的那種冒險(xiǎn)精神。往往一個(gè)60歲的老者比一個(gè)20歲的青年更多一點(diǎn)這種勁頭。人老不僅僅是歲月流逝所致，更主要的是不思進(jìn)取的結(jié)果。

Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.光陰可以在顏面上留下印記，而熱情之火的熄滅則在心靈上刻下皺紋。煩惱、恐懼、缺乏自信會(huì)扭曲人的靈魂，并將青春化為灰燼。

第四篇：英語(yǔ)勵(lì)志短文

Think Positive Thoughts Every Day 積極看待每一天

If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view.如果你覺得心有余力不足，覺得缺乏前進(jìn)的動(dòng)力，有時(shí)候你只需要改變思維的角度。

Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I'm Faith.By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals.You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance.歡迎收聽Faith輕松電臺(tái)，我是Faith。試著訓(xùn)練自己的思想朝好的一面看，這樣你就會(huì)汲取實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的動(dòng)力，而不會(huì)因?yàn)橄麡O沉淪停滯不前。

Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective.Don't leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own.You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations.Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them.Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way.一旦變換看問題的角度，你的生活會(huì)豁然開朗，幸福快樂會(huì)接踵而來。別交出掌握命運(yùn)的主動(dòng)權(quán)，也別指望局面會(huì)不可思議地好轉(zhuǎn)。你必須與內(nèi)心希望與熱情步調(diào)一致。建立自信，敢于與困難短兵相接，而非繞道而行。記住，力量不是駕馭局勢(shì)的法寶，無堅(jiān)不摧的能力才是最重要的。

Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries.Take your fear and transform it into trust;learn to rise above anxiety and doubt.Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”.Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in.請(qǐng)堅(jiān)信，美好的降臨并非不可能，失誤也許是成功的前奏。將惶恐化作信任，學(xué)會(huì)超越擔(dān)憂和疑慮。讓“誠(chéng)惶誠(chéng)恐”的時(shí)光變得“富有成效”。不要揮霍浪費(fèi)精力，將它投到有意義的事情中去。

This is Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax.You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life.You will find happiness when you adopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.你正在收聽的是Faith主持的Faith輕松電臺(tái)。當(dāng)你下意識(shí)品嘗生命的歡愉時(shí)，美好就會(huì)出現(xiàn)。當(dāng)你積極地看待生活，并以此作為你的日常準(zhǔn)則時(shí)，你就會(huì)找到快樂的真諦。

沖破黎明前的黑暗，終見陽(yáng)光

When Difficulties Arise...“Hang In There”永不低頭

Difficulties arise in the lives of us all.What is most important is dealing with the hard times, coping with the changes, and getting through to the other side where the sun is still shining just for you.生活中困難在所難免，最重要的是要挺過艱難的時(shí)刻，積極應(yīng)對(duì)種種變故，沖破黎明前的黑暗，你終會(huì)看到只屬于自己的燦爛陽(yáng)光。

It takes a strong person to deal with tough times and difficult choices.But you are a strong person.只有強(qiáng)者才能勇敢直面困難時(shí)刻，做出艱難抉擇。而你正是這樣一位強(qiáng)者。

It takes courage.But you possess the inner courage to see you through.要有勇氣。你擁有披荊斬棘的勇氣。It takes being an active participant in your life.But you are in the driver's seat, and you can determine the direction you want tomorrow to go in.你必須在這場(chǎng)游戲人生中積極主動(dòng)。而且你正在駕馭這場(chǎng)游戲，并決定著自己明天前進(jìn)的方向。

Hang in there...and take care to see that you don't lose sight of the one thing that is constant, beautiful, and true: Everything will be fine---and it will turn out that way because of the special kind of person you are.堅(jiān)持再堅(jiān)持，別讓你的視野迷失了那不變的美好真理：一切都會(huì)好轉(zhuǎn)的，因?yàn)槟闶侨绱说呐c眾不同。So...beginning today and lasting a lifetime through---Hang in there, and don't be afraid to feel like the morning sun is shining...just for you.因此，從今天開始，到生命的終點(diǎn)，堅(jiān)持住，不必懷疑，朝陽(yáng)為你而升起 人生并非總是陽(yáng)光明媚It Is Not A lways May

The sun is bright,the buds, the leaves,萬(wàn)象在更新；新頂出的嫩芽，嫩葉 That gild the elm-tree's nodding crest,把榆樹搖曳的枝梢著上一層金黃，And even the nest beneath the eaves;就是屋檐下的鳥巢也是新筑的； There are no birds in last year's nest!去年的舊巢里已經(jīng)不再有鳥兒歌唱!All things rejoice in youth and love,自然萬(wàn)物都沉浸在青春和愛的歡樂之中，The fullness of their first delight!這是生機(jī)盎然的新到來的歡樂!And learn from the soft heavens above The melting tenderness of night.他們白天享有明朗和暖的天空晚上又沐浴著溫馨柔和的夜色。Maiden, that read'st this simple rhyme,姑娘，當(dāng)你讀到這樸素的詩(shī)行，Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay;你當(dāng)盡享你的青春，因?yàn)樗粫?huì)停留； Enjoy the fragrance of thy prime,你要盡享你美麗年華的芬芳，F(xiàn)or oh, it is not always May!噢!因?yàn)槿松豢赡芸偸顷?yáng)光明媚!Enjoy the Spring of Love and Youth,享受這洋溢著青春和愛的春天，To some good angel leave the rest;把其余的留給好心的天使照顧；

無論成敗做最好的自己

If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,如果你當(dāng)不成山巔的一棵勁松，Be a scrub in the valley---but be就做山谷里的小樹吧---但務(wù)必

The best little scrub by the side of the rill;做溪流邊最棒的一棵小樹； Be a bush if you can't be a tree.當(dāng)不了樹就做一叢灌木，If you can't be a bush be a bit of grass--當(dāng)不成灌木還可以做小草--但務(wù)必 And some highway happier make.做路邊最快樂的一株小草。

If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass--如果你不是大梭魚就做一尾鱸魚吧，But the liveliest bass in the lake!但要做湖里最活潑的小鱸魚！

We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,我們不能都做船長(zhǎng),必須有人當(dāng)船員，There's something for all of us here,可每個(gè)人都有自己的事兒，There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,有的事情大，有的事情小，And the task you must do is the near.而你要完成的任務(wù)就近在咫尺。

If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,如果你不能做大道就做一條小徑，If you can't be the sun be a star;若是不能做太陽(yáng)就做星星；

It isn't by size that you win or you fail--決定成敗的不是你的大小--Be the best of whatever you are!只要你做最好的自己!

We're Just Beginning一切剛開始

"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”

“我們正在讀一本書的第一章第一行，這本書的頁(yè)數(shù)是無限的??”

I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.我不知道是誰(shuí)寫的，可我很喜歡這句話，它提醒我們未來是由自己創(chuàng)造的。我們可以把神秘、不可知的未來塑造成我們想象中的任何模樣，猶如雕刻家將未成形的石頭刻成雕像。

We are all in the position of the farmer.If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest.If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop.If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.我們每個(gè)人都像是農(nóng)夫。灑下良種將有豐收，播下劣種或生滿野草便將毀去收成。沒有耕耘則會(huì)一無所獲。

I want the future to be better than the past.I don't want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled.We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.我希望未來比過去更加美好，希望未來不會(huì)沾染歷史的錯(cuò)誤與過失。我們都應(yīng)舉目向前，因我們的余生要用未來書寫。

The past is gone and static.Nothing we can do will change it.The future is before us and dynamic.Everything we do will affect it.Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them.We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.往昔已逝，靜如止水；我們無法再作改變。而前方的未來正生機(jī)勃勃；我們所做的每一件事都將會(huì)影響著它。只要我們認(rèn)識(shí)到這些，無論是在家中還是在工作上，每天我們的面前都會(huì)展現(xiàn)出新的天地。在人類致力開拓的每一片領(lǐng)域上，我們正站在進(jìn)步的起跑點(diǎn)。
