1Much to Live For
There is so much I have not been, so much I have not en. I have not thought and have not done or felt enough—the early sun, rain and the asonal delight of flocks of ducks and gee in flight, the mysteries of late金源方特科幻公园-at-night. I still need time to read a book, write poems, paint a picture, look金色的麦田 at scenes and faces dear to me. There is something more to be of value—something I should find within mylf—as peace of mind, patience, grace and being kind. I shall take and I shall give, while yet, there is so much to live for—rainbows, stars that gleam, the fields, the hills, the hope, the dreams, the truth that one must ek. I’ll stay here—treasure every day and love the world in my own way.
2A Tale of Two Cities (excerpt)
It was the ^ best of times, it was the worst凉茶配方 of times; it was the ^ age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the ason of light, it was the ason of darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going dire
ct to Heaven, we were all going direct^ the other way. —— Charles Dickens
3Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality梅海岭 of the imagination, a ^vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ea. 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 derting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, lf-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like 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. Wh
en the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch^ the waves of optimism, there is hope you may vandalismdie young at eighty. —— Samuel Ullman
4Jane Eyre (excerpt)
“No. You must stay! I swear it — and the oath shall be kept”. “I tell you I must go!” I retorted, roud to something like passion.“Do you think I can stay to become nothing to you? Do you think I am an automaton? — a machine without feeling? and can bear to have my morl of bread snatched from my lips，and my drop of living water dashed from my cup? Do you think, becau I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong! — I have as much soul as you, — and full as much heart! And if God had gifted me with some beauty and much wealth, I should have made it as hard for you to leave me, as it is now for me to leave you. I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities，nor even of mor
tal flesh — it is my spirit that address your spirit; just as if both had pasd through the grave, and we stood at God’s feet, equal — as we are!” —— Charlotte Bronte 炖菜大全
5Winner Never Quit
A little girl—the 20th of 22 children, was born prematurely and her survival was doubtful. When she was 4 years old, she contracted double pneumonia and scarlet fever, which left her with a paralyzed left leg. At age 9, she removed the metal leg brace she had been dependent on^ and began to walk without it. By 13 she had离婚的程序 developed a rhythmic walk, which doctors said was a miracle. That same year she decided to become a runner. She entered a race and came in last. For the next few years every race she entered, she came in last. Everyone told her to quit, but she kept on running. One day she actually won a race, and then another. From then on she won every race she entered. Eventually this little girl—Wilma Rudolph, went on to win three Olympic gold medals. Winner never quit!
6Persistence
Persistence is the key to success, whether for a single person or an organization. The lack of it would mean failure in reaching a certain goal. Success ldom comes ^easily on the first try. What parates the successful from the unsuccessful is persistence. Successful people also fail from time to time, but they don’t let their failure defeat their spirit. Successful people^ learn from defeats, ^revi their strategy as needed and try again and again until they succeed. Unsuccessful people try something once or twice and when it fails, they give up, usually passing the blame on to someone or something el, and learn nothing from their own experience. Successful people expect periodic defeats, learn^ what went wrong and why, don’t waste looking for someone to blame, make necessary adjustments, ^and try again. If you are persistent, you will almost inevitably succeed. If you are not persistent, you will almost 过故人庄原文及翻译certainly ^fail.
