True Nobility
个人简历翻译Ernest Hemingway高升专报考条件
In a calm a,every man is a pilot.
But all sunshine without shade,all pleasure without pain,is not life at all.Take the lot of the happiest—it is a tangled yarn bereavements and blessings,one following another,makes us sad and blesd by turns.Even death itlf makes life more loving. Men come clost to their true lves in the sober moments of life,under the shadows of sorrow and loss.

In the affairs of life or of business,it is not intellect that tells so much as character,not brains so much as heart,not genius so much as lf-control,patience,and discipline, regulated by judgment.
I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more riously within begins to live more simple without.In an age of extravagance and waste,I wish I could show to the world how few the real wants of humanity are.
To regret one’s errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance.There is nothing noble in being superior to some other man.The true nobility is in being superior to your previous lf.
北卡罗来纳州立大学mother’’s letter to the world
A motherun是什么意思
To live his life in the world he has to live in will require faith and love and courage. So,World,I wish you would sort of take him by his young hand and teach him the things he will have to know.Teach him—but gently,if you can.Teach him that for every scoundrel,there is a hero;that for every crooked politician,there is a dedicated leader;that for every enemy,there is a friend.Teach him the wonders of books.Give him quiet time to ponder over the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,bees in the sun, and flowers on the green hill.Teach him that it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.Teach him to have faith in his own ideas,even if everyone el tells him they are wrong.Teach him to ll his brawn and brains to the highest bidder,but never to put a price on his heart and soul.Teach him to clo his ears to a howling mob…and to stand and fight if he thinks he’s right.Teach him gently,World,but don’t coddle him,becau only the test of fire makes fine steel.
Two dear for the whistle
Benjamin Franklin
This,however,was afterwards of u to me,for the impression continued on my mind, so that often,when I was tempted to buy something I did not need,I said to mylf,
“Don’t give too much for the whistle,”and I saved my money.As I grew up,came into the world,and obrved the actions of men,I thought I met with many,very many,who“give too much for the whistle.”When I saw some men too eager for court favor,wasting his time at court gatherings,giving up his rest,his liberty,his virtue, and perhaps his friends,for royal favor,I said to mylf—“This man give too much for the whistle.”When I saw another fond of popularity,constantly taking part in political affairs,neglecting his own business,and ruining it by neglect,“He pays, indeed,”said I,“too dear for his whistle.”
If I knew a mir who gave up every kind of comfortable living,all the pleasure of doing good to others,all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship, for the sake of gathering and keeping wealth—“Poor man,”said I,“you pay too dear for your whistle.”When I met a man of pleasure,who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but merely devoted himlf to having a good time,perhaps neglecting his health,“Mistaken man,”said I,“you are providing pain for yourlf,instead of pleasure;you are paying too dear for your whistle.”If I saw someone fond of appearance who had fine clothes,fine hous,fine furniture,fine earnings,all above his fortune,and for
which he had run into debt,and ends his career in a prison.“Alas,”said I,“he has paid dear,very dear,for his whistle.”In short the miries of mankind are largely due to their putting a fal value on things—to giving“too much for their whistle”.
Youth
Samuel Ullman
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 will,a quality of the imagination,and a vigor of the emotions;it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.北京表演培训
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 of60more than a boy of20.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by derting our ideals.
swineYears may winkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles our soul.Worry,fear, lf-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether60or16,there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,the unfailing childlike appeti
te 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.
When the aerials are down,and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism,then you are grown old,even at20,but as long as your aerials are up,to catch waves of optimism,there is hope you may die young at80.
Ambition
Joph Epstein
We do not choo to be born.We do not choo our parents.We do not choo our historical epoch,the country of our birth or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing.We do not,most of us,choo to die;nor do we choo the time or conditions of our death.But within all realm of choicelessness,we do choo how we shall live:courageously or in cowardice,honorably or dishonorably,with purpo or in drift.We decide what is important and what is trivial in life.We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refu to do.But no matter how indifferent the univer may be to our choices and decisions,the choices and decisions are ours to
smokinggun
make.We decide.We choo.And as we decide and choo,so are our lives formed.In the end,forming own destiny is what ambition is about.
Do you e the glass as half-full rather than half empty?Do you keep your eye upon the doughnut,not upon the hole?

Our family creed
John Davison Rockefeller
I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
I believe that every right implies a responsibility,every opportunity,an obligation, every posssion,a duty.
I believe that the law was made for man and not man made for the law;that government is the rvant of the people and not their master.
I believe in the dignity of labor,whether with head or hand,and that the world owes no man a living,but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.
I believe that thrift is esntial to well-ordered living and that economy is prime requisite of a sound financial structure,whether in government,business or personal affairs.
range什么意思I believe that truth and just are fundamental to an enduring social order.性用语lj的意思
I believe in the sacredness of a promi,that a man’s word should be as good as his bond,that character—not wealth,power or position–is of supreme worth.
I believe that the rendering of uful rvice is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of lfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul t free.
I believe in an all-wi and all-loving God,named by whatever name,and that the individual’s highest fulfillment,greatest happiness and widest ufulness are to be found in living in harmony with His Will.
I believe that love is the greatest thing in the world;that it alone can overcome hate; that right can an
d will triumph over might.
The are the principles,however formulated,for which all good men and women throughout the world,irrespective of race or creed,education,social position or occupation,are standing,and for which many of them are suffering and dying.
The are the principles upon which alone a new world recognizing the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God can be established.
Life is to be whole
Once a circle misd a wedge,the circle wanted to be whole,so it went around looking for its missing piece.But becau it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly,it admired the flowers along the way.It chatted with worms.It enjoyed the sunshine.It found lots of different pieces,but none of them fit.So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on arching.Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly.It was so happy.Now it could be whole,with nothing missing. It incorporated the missing piece into itlf and began to roll.Now that it was a perfect circle,it could roll very fast,too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the worms.When it realized how different the world emed when it rolled so quickly,it stopped,left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slow
ly away.
The lesson of the story,I suggested,was that in some strange n we are more whole when we are missing something.The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man.He will never know what it feels like to yearn,to hope,to nourish his soul with the dream of something better.He will never know the experience of having someone who loved him give him something he has always wanted or never had. There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so.There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive,who can lo someone and still feel like a complete person.
Life is not a trap t for us by God so that he can condemn us for failing.Life is not a spelling bee,where no matter how many words you have got right,you are disqualified if you make one mistake.Life is more like a baball ason where even the best team may lo one third of its games,while the worst team has its days of brilliance.Our goal is to win more games than we lo.
When we accept that imperfection is part of being human,and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it,we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only aspire to.That,I believe,is what God asks of us—not“be perfect”,not “Don’t even make a mistake”,but“Be whole”.
If we are brave enough to love,strong enough to forgive,generous enough to rejoice in another’s happiness,and wi enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all,then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know.
