英语 励志 故事1
A boy found an eagle's egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what prairie chicken do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings. It was a dreary life. Gradually the eagle grew older and bitter. One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains.
"Oh, I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle. The chicken replied, "Don't give it another thought. That's the mighty eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!" And the eagle didn't give it another thought. He went on cackling and complaining about life. He died thinking he was a prairie chicken. My friends, you too were born an eagle. The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don’t listen to the prairie chickens!
一个小男孩发现了一只老鹰下的蛋，把它放进了一只山鸡的窝里。鹰被孵出来了，但他以为自己是一只山鸡。渐渐的他长大了，却做着山鸡所做的事---从泥土里寻找食物，做短距离的飞翔，翅膀还啪啪作响。生活非常沉闷，渐渐地鹰长大了，也越来越苦恼。有一天，他和他的山鸡朋友看见一只美丽的鸟在天空翱翔，飞的比山还高。
“哦，我要能飞的那么高该多好啊!”鹰说。山鸡回答说，“不要想了，那是凶猛无比的鹰，鸟中之王---你不可能像他一样!”于是鹰放弃了那个念头。他继续咯咯地叫，不停的抱怨生活。最后他死了，依然认为自己是一只山鸡。朋友们，你们天生就是雄鹰。造物主有意把你造就成一只雄鹰，所以不要听信山鸡的话!
英语励志故事2
When Henry ford decided to produce his famous v-8 motor, he chose to build an engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block, and instructed his engineers to produce a design in one for the engine. The design was placed on paper, but the engineers agreed, to a man, that it was simply impossible to cast an eight-cylinder engine-block in one piece.
Ford said, “Produce it anyway.”
“But,” they replied, “It’s impossible!”
“Go ahead.” Ford commanded, “And stay on the job until you succeed, no matter how much time is required.”
The engineers went ahead. There was nothing else for them to do, if they were to remain on the ford staff. Six months passed and nothing happened. Another six months passed, and still nothing happened. The engineers tried every conceivable plan to carry out the orders, but the thing seemed out of the question:“impossible!”
At the end of the year ford checked with his engineers, and again they informed him they had found no way to carry out his orders.
“go right head,” said ford, “I want it, and I’ll have it.”
They went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke of magic, the secret was discovered.
The ford determination had won once more!
This story may not be described with minute accuracy, but the sum and substance of it is correct. Deduce from it, you who wish to think and grow rich, the secret of the ford millions, if you can. You’ll not have to look very far.
Henry ford was successful, because he understood and applied the principles of success. One of these is desire: knowing out the lines in which the secret of his stupendous achievement have been described. If you can do this, if you can lay your finger on the particular group of principles which made Henry ford rich, you can equal his achievements in almost any calling for which you are suited.
亨利福特在要制造有名的v8汽缸引擎汽车时，曾指示他手下的工程师着手设计一种引擎，要把八个汽缸全放在一起。设计的纸上作业完成了，但是工程师们都异口同声地跟福特说，“要把八个汽缸全放在一起，压根是不可能。”
福特说：“无论如何都要做出来。”
他们又回答：“但是，那不可能啊!”
“动手做。”福特一声令下， “不论花多少时间，做到交差为止!”
工程师只得着手去做。如果他们还想呆在福特的公司里讨生活，就别无他途可行，值得去做。过了半年，没有动静。又过了半年，一样没有半点进展。工程师们试过了所有想得出来的计划去执行命令，结果仍然是：“不可能!”
过了一年，福特的工程师们都没有进展，他们再次告诉他，他们想不出有什么办法可以做到的指示。
“继续做，”福特说。“我要八汽缸引擎，就一定要做到!”
他们继续努力，然后仿佛如有神助似的，做法出笼了。
福特的决心又打赢了一仗。
这个故事也许说的不够详尽，但是故事的内容却都是“如假包换”的。要想致富的你，从这个故事可以推算出福特百万家财的秘密何在。务须舍近求远，就在眼前。
亨利福特了解成功的原则，也运用了这些原则，所以他成功了。这些原则中，有一项就是渴望：知道自己要做的是什么。阅读这篇文章时，请牢记这则福特的故事，时时在字里行间寻找他了不起的原因。只要你能做到，能正确无误地指认出福特所运用的原则，就几乎可以在适合自己的任何行业里，和他一样地出类拔萃。

Failure and Success1．失败是常事。2．失败和成功的关系。3．结论。 Failure is a common thing in one's life. Almost everyone experiences failure in his life. When one fails in his attempt in doing something, he often feels upset. Some people may yield to failure and flinch from it. But others will stick to and achieve the final success. Success is what everyone expects. It may lead to fame and glory. When one suc ceeds in doing something, he gets so excited that he often neglects all the unsuccessful at tempts he has done. As the old saying goes, "Failure teaches success." It is true that failure is an impor tam factor toward success. The way to success is full of various difficulties and obstacles. Many important inventions or discoveries were achieved after hundreds of failure. And only those successes which have been achieved after many failures are really valuable and praiseworthy.失败和成功 在人的一生中失败是常事。几乎每个人在一生中都失败过。当一个人打算做某事失败时，他常常感到沮丧。有些人会屈服于失败而畏缩不前。而另外一个人却坚持不懈并取得最后成功。 成功是人人都期待的，成功可以使人成名、荣耀。当一个人在做某事时成功了，他是那么高兴以致常常忽略了他曾经做过的那些没有成功的事情。 正如俗话所说，“失败是成功之母。”失败是走向成功的重要因素，这是毫无疑问的。成功的道路上充满各种困难和障碍。许多重要的发明和发现是经过数百次失败才成功的。只有经过许多次失败后取得的成功才是真正有价值和值得称赞的。
