　　篇一：The 50-Percent Theory of Life

　　I believe in the 50-percent theory. Half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they are worse. I believe life is a pendulum swing. It takes time and experience to understand what normal is, and that gives me the perspective to deal with the surprises of the future.

　　Let’s benchmark the parameters: Yes, I will die. I’ve dealt with the deaths of both parents, a best friend, a beloved boss and cherished pets. Some of these deaths have been violent, before my eyes, or slow and agonizing. Bad stuff, and it belongs at the bottom of the scale. Then there are those high points: romance and marriage to the right person; having a child and doing those Dad things like coaching my son’s baseball team, paddling around the creek in the boat while he’s swimming with the dogs, discovering his compassion so deep it manifests even in his kindness to snails, his imagination so vivid he builds a spaceship from a scattered pile of Legos.

　　But there is a vast meadow of life in the middle, where the bad and the good flip-flop acrobatically. This is what convinces me to believe in the50-percent theory.One spring I planted corn too early in a bottomland so flood-prone that neighbors laughed. I felt chagrined at the wasted effort. Summer turned brutal—the worst heat wave and drought in my lifetime. The air-conditioner died, the well went dry, the marriage ended, the job lost, the money gone. I was living lyrics from a country tune—music I disliked. Only a surging Kansas City Royals team, bound for their first World Series, buoyed my spirits.Looking back on that horrible summer, I soon understood that all succeeding good things merely offset the bad. Worse than normal wouldn’t last long. I am owed and savor the peaceful and happy times. They reinvigorate me for the next nasty surprise and offer assurance that I can thrive.

　　The 50 percent theory even helps me see hope beyond my Royals’ recent slump, a field of struggling rookies sown so that some year soon we can reap an October harvest. Oh, yeah, the corn crop? For that one blistering summer, the ground moisture was just right, planting early allowed pollination before heat withered the tops, and the lack of rain spared the standing corn from floods. That winter my crib overflowed with corn—fat, healthy three-to-a-stalk ears filled with kernels from heel to tip—while my neighbors’ fields yielded only brown, empty husks.

　　Although plantings past may have fallen below the 50-percent expectation, and they probably will again in the future, I am still sustained by the crop that flourishes during the drought.

　　篇二：Andrew Carnegie

　　It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions. Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and jamtresses now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of a business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom. The other day a fond fashionable mother in Michigan asked a young man whether he had even seen a young lady sweep in a room so grandly as her Priscilla. He said so, he never had, and the mother was gratified beyond measure, but then said he, after a pause, "What I should like to see her do is sweep out a room." It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself.

　　Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is "aim high". I would not give a fig for the young man who has not already seen himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, "My place is at the top." Be king in your dreams.

　　And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which your are engaged. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.

　　The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here, there, and everywhere. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is all wrong. I tell you "put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket". Look round you and take notice; men who do that do not often fail. It is easy to watch and carry the one basket. It is trying to carry too many baskets, that breaks most eggs in this country. He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up. One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.

　　To summarize what I have said: Aim for the highest, never enter a bar room; do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals; never speculate; never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund; make the firm's interest yours; break orders always to save owners; concentrate; put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket; expenditure always within revenue; lastly be not impatient, for, as Emerson says, "no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves." ）

　　篇三：Equipment

　　Figure it out for yourself, my lad. You have got all that the great have had: two arms, two legs, two hands, two eyes, and a brain to use if you'd be wise. With this equipment they all began, so start for the top and say" I can".

　　Look them over the wise and the great. They take their food from a common plate. With similar knives and forks they use; with similar laces they tie their shoes. The world considers them brave and smart, but you know--- you have got all they had when they made their start.

　　You can triumph and come to skill; you can be great if you only will. You are well equipped for the fight you choose you have arms and legs and brains to use. And people who have risen, great deeds to do started their lives with no more than you.

　　You are the handicap you must face. You are the one who must choose your place. You must say where you want to go, and how much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but he lets you decide what you want to be.

　　The courage must come from the soul within; you must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad; you were born with all the great have had; with your equipment they all began. Get hold of yourself and say" I can".

　　你会发明，本身已具有了统统伟人所具有的：两条胳膊，两条腿，两只手，两只眼睛和为你带来聪明的大脑。这些巨大的人在斗争的地方也只具有这些。是以，起头为了胡想斗争吧，告知你本身：“我行！”。

　　看看那些巨大睿智的人，他们用饭用平常的盘子和刀叉；乃至用近似的方式系鞋带－－众人皆以为他们兼具英勇与聪明。但你要晓得，现在你已具有他们拼搏向前的统统。

　　若是你情愿，你一样能够取胜，一样能够巨大。在斗争的路程上你已具有最精巧的设备，不时向前成绩伟业的人在斗争之初并不比你多多少。

　　你必须面临的是你本身，唯一你本身能够决议本身的处境。说出本身想要到达方针,讲出本身掌握的本相。天主已为你供给了设备，但标的目的只能由你本身来决议。

　　勇气来自心里深处，下定决计获告捷利。以是，本身想一想吧，伟人的本钱与生俱来。掌握好本身，告知本身：“我行！”。

　　篇四：Dreams

　　When we were young, we had dreams and expectations. We imagine things; we keep thinking about what we want to be, what we want to do, what makes us proud and happy and what will we become.

　　We grew up, and things seemed like having their own way. We accept our success or failures and we move on. The rapid change, the need to do the urgent things, the works, the pressures and the failures, all kill part of our visions.

　　Things have changed, but they cannot really take away the dreams. We still have to dream on, to visualize our desires, our wants, our vision of our future, even when we are considered too old for such things.

　　Cornell Sanders started his business when he was sixty, and started the whole successful KFC business. The main thing is not the age whether being too old, or too young, but it is the desire to dream on, and the courage to realize it.

　　The ability to dream on is one of the fine qualities of human race that other species do not possess. So dream on, and put a deadline: make it a giant dream, a tiny one, an old everlasting one, a new-found one, a hobby-related one, a change of life one, a religious one, a stupid one, a stroke of genius one, or just whatever... just continue to dream on... Then, Just Go and Do It!

　　篇五：We Were Dear to Each Other

　　Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.

　　And yellow leaves of autumn,which have no songs,flutter and fall there with a sign.

　　O Troupe of little vagrants of the world,leave your footprints in my words.

　　The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.

　　It becomes small as one song,as one kiss of the eternal.

　　It is the tears of the earth that keep her smiles in bloom.

　　The mighty desert is burning for the love of a blade of grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away.

　　If you shed tears when you miss the sun,you also miss the stars.

　　The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement,dancing water,Will you carry the burden of their lameless?

　　Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night.

　　Once we dreamt that we were strangers.

　　We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.

　　炎天的飞鸟,飞到我的窗前唱歌,又飞去了。

　　秋季的'黄叶,它们不甚么可唱,只感喟了一声,飞落在那边。

　　天下上的一小队小小的流落者呀,请留下你们的足迹在我的笔墨里。

　　天下对着它的爱人,把它浩大的面具揭了上去。

　　它变小了,小如一首歌,小如一回永久的吻。

　　是大地的泪点,使她的浅笑坚持着芳华不谢。

　　无垠的戈壁强烈热闹地寻求一叶绿草的爱,她摇点头笑着飞开了。

　　若是你因落空了太阳而堕泪,那末你也将将落空群星了。

　　跳着舞的流水呀,在你途中的泥沙,请求你的歌声,你的欢跳.你肯挟痂足的泥沙而俱下么?

　　她的热切的脸,如夜雨似的,烦扰着我的梦魂。

　　有一次,咱们梦见大师都是不熟悉的。

　　咱们醒了,却晓得咱们是相亲相爱的。

　　篇六：Prometheus

　　Prometheus was a Titan ．In the war between Zeus the giants he had stood on the side of the new Olympian gods．Out of the clay he made the first man，to whom Athena gave soul and holy breath．Prometheus spent a lot of time and energy in creating the gift of fire．The fire raised man above all animals ．Later，there held a joint meeting of gods and men．The meeting was to decide what part of burnt animals should be given to gods and what to men．Prometheus cut up an ox and divided it into two parts：under the skin he placed the fresh，and under the fat he put the bones，for he knew the selfish Zeus loved fat． Zeus saw through the trick and felt displeased at the Prometheus' favor towards men．So in a masterful way he took away the gift of fire from mankind．However，Prometheus managed to steal fire from heaven and secretly brought it down to men．Flying into an anger at this unjustified act of rebellion，Zeus let the other gods chain Prometheus to a rock on Mountain Caucasus，where a hungry eagle ever tore at his liver which ever grew again．His period of pain was to be thirty-thousand years．Prometheus faced his bitter fate firmly and never lost courage before Zeus．At last Heracles made Prometheus and Zeus restore to friend ship，when Heracles came over in search of the golden apple and killed the eagle and set the friend of mankind free．

　　普罗米修斯是泰坦伟人之一。在宙斯与伟人的战斗中，他站在新的奥林波斯山神一边。他用黏土造出了第一个汉子。雅典娜付与了这个汉子魂灵和崇高的性命。普罗米修斯还破费了良多时候和精神缔造了火，并将之赠送人类。火令人成为万物之灵。在这以后，进行了第一次神与人的联席集会。这个集会将决议烧烤过的植物的哪一局部该分给神，哪一局部该给人类。普罗米修斯切开一头牛，把它分红两局部：他把肉放在皮下，将骨头放在肥肉下。由于他晓得无私的宙斯爱吃肥肉。宙斯看破了他的花招。普罗米修斯左袒人类，这使宙斯感应烦懑。是以，他跋扈地把火从人类手中夺走。但是，普罗米修斯想法窃走了天火，偷偷地把它带给人类。宙斯对他这类肆无顾忌的违背行动暴跳如雷。他令其余的山神把普罗米修斯用锁链缚在高加索山脉的一块岩石上。一只饥饿的老鹰每天来啄食他的肝脏，而他的肝脏又老是从头长出来。他的疾苦要延续三万年。而他果断地面临磨难，历来不在宙斯眼前损失勇气。最初，海格立斯使普罗米修斯与宙斯规复了他们的友情，找到了金苹果，杀死了老鹰，因此挽救了人类的老伴侣。
