听话呵呵
A man came home form work late, tired and found his 5 years old son waiting for him at the door. "Daddy,may I ask you a questIon ?" "Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man. "Daddy, how much do you make an hour? " " If you must know, I make $20 an hour."" Oh,"the little boy replied, with his head down, looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10" the father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy, then you go to bed." The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. After about an hour or so,the man had calmed down. And started to think. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the iIttle boy's room and opened the door."Are you asleep, son?" he asked. "no daddy," replied the boy. "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier." said the man, "Here's the $10 you asked for." the little boy sat straight up, *** iling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry agaIn. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father. "Why do you want more money? Is you already have some ?" the father asked. "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do. "the little boy repiied, "Daddy , I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time ?Please e home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
The Flight of Youth 青春的飞逝 Richard Henry Stoddard/理查德.亨利.斯托达德 There are gains for all our losses. 我们失去的一切都能得到补偿， There are balms for all our pain; 我们所有的痛苦都能得到安慰； But when youth, the dream, departs 可是梦境似的青春一旦消逝， It takes something from our hearts, 它带走了我们心中的某种美好， And it never es again. 从此一去不复返。 We are stronger, and are better, 我们变得日益刚强、更臻完美， Under manhood’s sterner reign; 在严峻的成年生活驱使下； Still we feel that something sweet 可是依然感到甜美的情感， Following youth, with flying feet, 已随着青春飞逝 2006/1/14 youth--最美的英文散文
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 the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusia *** wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder,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. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynici *** and the ice of pessimi *** , then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimi *** , there is hope you may die young at 80. 青春 塞缪尔·厄尔曼 青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢巨集的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。 青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。 岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。 无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的讯号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。 一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观讯号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。 最好加一些自己的感想进去
Never give up!永不放弃！演讲稿 世界上关于“成功”或“胜利”的故事已经不算少,它们大多向我们指明了一条通往成功的光明大道——永不放弃！The stories about “suess" or “victory" in the world are already not few. Most of them indicate to us one bright way leading to a suess. That is -never give up! 许多人都知道：迈克尔"乔丹是美国伟大的篮球运动员，可为什么他会成为全世界最棒的篮球运动员？因为乔丹有一句名言：“我可以接受失败，但无法接受放弃。” Many people know that Michael Jordan is the great American basketball athlete. Why can he bee the world’s best basketball athlete? Because Jordan has a famous saying: “I may aept defeat, but I don’t aept giving up.” 永不放弃，就是在逆境中锲而不舍。When we say “Never give up”, that means we go ahead in the adverse circumstances. 永不放弃，就是在成功时，牢记进取。When we say “Never give up”, that means even when we are in the advantageous circumstances, we still keep going on. 时刻记住你头顶上顶着四个字，那是我们所有人的荣耀。永不放弃代表了我们的精神，所以让我们大声说出：永不放弃！We should always keep in mind the four words. That is the glory for all of us. It also represents our spirit. So , let us speak out loudly : “Never give up”. 差不多1分多钟 谢谢采纳~
人间有爱 1 The True Meaning of Love By Mother Teresa
Spread love everywhere you go, first of all in your own house. Give love to your children, to your wife or hu *** and; to a next-door neighbor... let no one ever e to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God’s kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your *** ile, kindness in your warm greeting. 参考译文 爱的真谛 泰瑞莎修女 随处散播你的爱心，就从对你的家人开始，多一分关爱给你的孩子，你的另一半，然后你的邻居……让每个接近你的人都有如沐春风的感觉。给别人一张慈祥的面容、一个关怀的眼神、一个灿烂的微笑、一句温暖的问候，为上帝的仁慈做见证。 自由的呼唤 14 Inaugural Address of John F•Kennedy Jan 20,1961 … Now the trumpet summons us again- not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need- not as a call to battle, though embattled we are-but a call to bear the burden of a long ilight struggle, year in and year out, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation- a struggle against the mon enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease, and war itself. Can we fe against these enemies a grand and global alliance, North and South, East and West that can assure a more fruitful life for all mankind? Will you join in that historic effort? In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility- I wele it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it-and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man. Finally, whether you are citizens of America or citizens of the world , ask of us here the same high standards of strength and sacrifice which we ask of you. With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help, but knowing that here on earth God’s work must truly be our own. 肯尼迪总统就职演说 1961年1月20日 …… 现在，号角已再次吹响--不是召唤我们拿起武器，虽然我们需要武器；不是召唤我们去作战，虽然我们严阵以待。它召唤我们为迎接黎明而肩负起漫长斗争的重任，年复一年，从希望中得到欢乐，在磨难中保持耐性，对付人类共同的敌人¬--专制、贫穷、疾病和战争本身。 为反对这些敌人，确保人类更为丰裕的生活，我们能够组成一个包括东西南北各方的全球大联盟吗？你们愿意参加这一历史性的努力吗？ 在漫长的世界历史中，只有少数几代人在自由处于最危急的时刻被赋予保卫自由的责任。我不会推卸这一责任，我欢迎这一责任。我不相信我们中间有人想同其他人或其他时代的人交换位置。我们为这一努力所奉献的精力、信念和忠诚，将照亮我们的国家和所有为国效劳的人，而这火焰发出的光芒定能照亮全世界。 因此，美国同胞们，不要问国家能为你们做些什么、而要问你们能为国家做些什么。 全世界的公民们，不要问美国将为你们做些什么，而要问我们共同能为人类的自由做些什么。 最后，不论你们是美国公民还是其他国家的公民，你们应要求我们献出我们同样要求于你们的高度的力量和牺牲。问心无愧是我们唯一可靠的奖赏，历史是我们行动的最终裁判，让我们走向前去，引导我们所热爱的国家。我们祈求上帝的福佑和帮助，但我们知道，确切地说，上帝在尘世的工作必定是我们自己的工作。
One day you finally knew what you had to do, and began, Sometimes in life, You find a special friend; Someone who changes your life just by being part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't s; Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convince you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is Forever Friendship. 有时候在生活中， 你会找到一个特别的朋友； 他只是你生活中的一部分内容，却能改变你整个的生活。 他会把你逗得开怀大笑； 他会让你相信人间有真情。 他会让你确信，真的有一扇不加锁的门，在等待着你去开启。 这就是永远的友谊。 When you're down, and the world seems dark and empty, Your forever friend lifts you up in spirits and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, Your forever friend follows. 当你失意， 当世界变得黯淡与空虚， 你真正的朋友会让你振作起来，原本黯淡、空虚的世界顿时变得明亮和充实。 你真正的朋友会与你一同度过困难、伤心和烦恼的时刻。 你转身走开时， 真正的朋友会紧紧相随。 If you lose your way, Your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. 你迷失方向时， 真正的朋友会引导你，鼓励你。 真正的朋友会握着你的手，告诉你一切都会好起来的。 And if you find such a friend, You feel happy and plete, Because you need not worry. You have a forever friend for life, And forever has no end. 如果你找到了这样的朋友， 你会快乐，觉得人生完整， 因为你无需要再忧虑。 你拥有了一个真正的朋友， 永永远远，永无止境 though the voices around you kept shout their bad advice-- 有一天，你终于知道， 什么是你必须得做，并开始去做， 虽然你周围的声音， 一直喊出， 其各种糟糕的建议—— though the whole house began to tremble and you felt the old tug at your ankle. “mend my life!” each voice cried. But you didn’t s. You knew what you had to do, 虽然整个房子， 开始颤抖， 你亦感到那条旧绳索， 绊住了你的脚踝。 “修补我的人生！” 每个声音都在哭喊。 但你并没停止。 你知道什么是你必须得做的， though the wind pry with its stiff fingers at the very foundation though their melancholy was terrible. It was already late enough, and a wild night, and the road full of fallen branch and stones. 虽然风用它僵硬的手指， 直往根基， 撬捣， 虽然它们的忧郁， 着实可怕。 天色， 已经很晚，这是个疯狂的夜晚， 路上满是倒下的， 断枝和石头。 But little by little, as you left their voices behind, the stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds and there was a new voice which you slowly recognized as your own, that kept you pany as you strode deeper and deeper into the world, determine to do the only thing you could do-- determined to save the only life you could save. 但渐渐地， 当你将它们的声音抛在身后， 星星开始穿透云层， 散发光辉， 一个新的声音出现了， 你慢慢， 意识到，那是你自己的声音， 它伴随着你， 伴你步步， 深入世途， 决心去做， 你唯一能做的事—— 决定去拯救， 你唯一能拯救的生命。

A Reason, Season, or Lifetime People e into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have e to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. Sometimes they die. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. Your need has been answered, and now it is time to move on. When people e into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has e to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to aept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

I remember quite clearly now when the story happened. The autumn leaves were floating in measure down to the ground, recovering the lake, where we used to swim like children, under the sun was there to shire. That time we used to be happy. Well, I thought we were. But the truth was that you had been longing to leave me, not daring to tell me. On that precious night, watching the lake, vaguely conscious. You said:" our story is ending."
The rain was killing the last days of summer, you had been killing my last breath of love, since a long time ago. I still don't think I'm gonna make it through another love story. You took it all away from me. And there I stand, I knew I was going to be the one left behind. But still I'm watching the lake, vaguely conscious, and I know my life is ending.
She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth, it has no time to flow down the spout.
We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We all waited, some patiently, others irritated, because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. Time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just needed washing." Mom said. Then off they ran.
We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day!
To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.
In a calm sea 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, make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself makes life more loving. Men come closest to their true selves 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 self-control, patience, and discipline, regulated by judgment.
I have always believed that the man who has begun to live more seriously within begins to live more simply 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 self.
once a circle missed a wedge. the circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. but because 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 searching. 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 itself and began to roll. now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers of talking to the worms. when it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
the lesson of the story, i suggested, was that in some strange sense 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 if 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 loves 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, she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.
life is not a trap set 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’ve gotten right, you’re disqualified if you make one mistake. life is more like a baseball season, where even the best team loses one-third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance. our goal is to win more games than we lose.
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 wise 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.
