1. Life Struggle----雄踞山寨拌凉面生命的拼搏
对强者而言，磨难犹如刀剑，使他愈见锋芒，诚如孟子所言：“天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨……”不经过磨难的生活，日子未免过得乏味；不经过磨难的命运，人生便显得苍白。就生命而言，总是从平坦中获得的效益少，从磨难中获得的教益深。
Once upon a time in a land far far away, there was a wonderful old man who loved everything. Animals, spiders,
One day while walking through the woods the nice old man found a cocoon of a butterfly. He took it home.
A few days later, a small opening appeared; he sat and watched the butterfly for veral
hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it emed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther.
今天离过年还有多少天 Then the man decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily.
But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly becau he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.
It never was able to fly.
What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting c
ocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Nature's way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were allowed to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.
And we could never fly.
从前，在一个非常非常遥远的国度，有一位心地善良的老人。他喜爱一切东西，动物啦、蜘蛛啦、昆虫啦。
林忆莲经典歌曲 一天，这位善良的老人在树林里散步的时候，发现了一个蝴蝶的茧。他把茧带回了家。
平民教育几天后，茧裂开了一道小缝。老人几小时地坐在那里，看着蝴蝶挣扎着让自己的身体从小缝中挤出来。后来，蝴蝶破茧好象停了下来，没有什么进展了。看来蝴蝶好象是撑到
了最后，再也不可能前进了。
看到这里，老人决定帮助蝴蝶。于是他找出一把剪刀，把茧剩余的部分剪破了。
这样，蝴蝶就轻易地从茧中脱出来了。
但是，蝴蝶的身子肿胀着，翅膀又小又皱。老人继续观察着蝴蝶，因为他期望着这样一个时刻的到来：蝴蝶的翅膀会变大，大到能支持它的身体，而蝴蝶的身体届时也会缩小。可是什么也没有发生。事实上，这只蝴蝶的余生中就只能拖着臃肿的身体和萎缩的翅膀爬来爬去了。
它永远也不能飞起来了。
悲伤蛙表情包在好心和匆忙间，老人并不理解，蝴蝶破茧而出时需要的那种束缚和挣扎其实是大自然用来将蝴蝶的体液挤到翅膀中的方法，这样，蝴蝶一旦能从茧中脱出，就能准备好飞翔了。
有时候，挣扎正是我们生活中所需要的。如果我们能得以毫无障碍地走过一生，这会使我们软弱。我们就不可能变得强壮。
重要的是，我们就不可能腾飞。
2．坚持你的梦想
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a hor ranch in San Sedro. He has let me u his hou to put on fund-raising events to rai money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you why I let Jack u my hou. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant hor trainer who would go from farm and ranch-to-ranch, training hors. As a result, the boy's high school career was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
"That night he wrote a ven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a hor ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot hou that would sit on the 200-acre dream ranch.
微笑的意思"He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, 'See me after class.'
"The boy with the dream went to e the teacher after class and asked, 'Why did I receive an F?'
"The teacher said, 'this is an unrealistic个性签名句子 dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a hor ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you'll have to pay large stud fees. There's no way you could ever do it.' Then the teacher added, 'If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.'
