英文勵志文章：Today I begin a new life
Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediority.
Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.
Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard,for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me,generation upon generation.
Today I will savor the taste of grapes from these vines and verily I will swallow the seed of success buried in each and new life will sprout within me.
The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those who have failed, were they piled one atop another, would cast a shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth.
Yet I will not fail, as the others, for in my hands I now hold the charts which will guide through perilous waters to shores which only yesterday seemed but a dream.
Failure no longer will be my payment for struggle. Just as nature made no provision for my body to tolerate pain neither has it made any provision for my life to suffer failure. Failure, like pain, is alien to my life. In the past I accepted it as I accepted pain. Now I reject it and I am prepared for wisdom and principles which will guide me out of the shadows into the sunlight of wealth, position, and happiness far beyond my most extravagant dreams until even the golden apples in the Garden of Hesperides will seem no more than my just reward.
Time teaches all things to him who lives forever but I have not the luxury of eternity. Yet within my allotted time I must practice the art of patience for nature acts never in haste. To create the olive, king of all trees, a hundred years is required. An onion plant is old in nine weeks. I have lived as an onion plant. It has not pleased me. Now I wouldst become the greatest of olive trees and, in truth, the greatest of salesman.
And how will this be accomplished? For I have neither the knowledge nor the experience to achieve the greatness and already I have stumbled in ignorance and fallen into pools of self-pity. The answer is simple. I will commence my journey unencumbered with either the weight of unnecessary knowledge or the handicap of meaningless experience. Nature already has supplied me with knowledge and instinct far greater than any beast in the forest and the value of experience is overrated, usually by old men who nod wisely and speak stupidly.
In truth, experience teaches thoroughly yet her course of instruction devours men's years so the value of her lessons diminishes with the time necessary to acquire her special wisdom. The end finds it wasted on dead men. Furthermore, experience is comparable to fashion; an action that proved successful today will be unworkable and impractical tomorrow.
Only principles endure and these I now possess, for the laws that will lead me to greatness are contained in the words of these scrolls. What they will teach me is more to prevent failure than to gain success, for what is success other than a state of mind? Which two, among a thouand wise men, will define success in the same words; yet failure is always described but one way. Failure is man's inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be.
In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have successed lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is --I will form good habits and become their slave.
As a child I was slave to my impulses; now I am slave to my habits, as are all grown men. I have surrendered my free will to the years of accumulated habits and the past deeds of my life have already marked out a path which threatens to imprison my future. My actions are ruled by appetite, passion, prejudice, greed, love, fear, environment, habit, and the worst of these tyrants is habit. Therefore, if I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits. My bad habits must be destroyed and new furrows prepared for good seed.
I will form good habits and become their slave.
And how will I accomplish this difficult feat? Through these scrolls, it will be done, for each scroll contains a principle which will drive a bad habit from my life and replace it with one which will bring me closer to success. For it is another of nature's laws that only a habit can subdue another habit. So, in order for these written words to perform their chosen task, I must discipline myself with the first of my new habits which is as follows:
I will read each scroll for thirty days in this prescribed manner, before I proceed to the next scroll.
First, I will read the words in silence when I arise. Then, I will read the words in silence after I have partaken of my midday meal. Last, I will read the words again just before I retire at day's end, and most important, on this occasion I will read the words aloud.
On the next day I will repeat this procedure, and I will continue in like manner for thirty days. Then, I will turn to the next scroll and repeat this procedure for another thirty days. I will continue in this manner until I have lived with each scroll for thirty days and my reading has become habit.
And what will be accomplished with this habit? Herein lies the hidden secret of all man's accomplishments. As I repeat the words daily they will soon become a part of my active mind, but more important, they will also seep into my other mind, that mysterious source which never sleeps, which creates my dreams, and often makes me act in ways I do not comprehend.
As the words of these scrolls are consumed by my mysterious mind I will begin to awake, each morning, with a vitality I have never known before. My vigor will increase, my enthusiasm will rise, my desire to meet the world will overcome every fear I once knew at sunrise, and I will be happier than I ever believed it possible to be in this world of strife and sorrow.
Eventually I will find myself reacting to all situations which confront me as I was commanded in the scrolls to react, and soon these actions and reactions will become easy to perform, for any act with practice becomes easy.
Thus a new and good habit is born, for when an act becomes easy through constant repetiton it becomes a pleasure to perform and if it is a pleasure to perform it is man's nature to perform it often. When I perform it often it becomes a habit and I become its slave and since it is a good habit this is my will.
Today I begin a new life.
And I make a solemn oath to myself that nothing will retard my new life's growth. I will lose not a day from these readings for that day cannot be retrieved nor can I substitute another for it. I must not , I will not, break this habit of daily reading from these scrolls and, in truth, the few moments spent each day on this new habit are but a small price to pay for the happiness and success that will be mine.
As I read and re-read the words in the scrolls to follow, never will I allow the brevity of each scroll nor the simplicity of its words to cause me to treat the scroll's message lightly. Thousands of grapes are pressed to fill one jar with wine, and the grapeskin and pulp are tossed to the birds. So it is with these grapes of wisdom from the ages. Much has been filtered and tossed to the wind.Only the pure truth lies distilled in the words to come. I will drink as instructed and spill not a drop. And the seed of success I will swallow.
Today my old skin has become as dust. I will walk tall among men and they will know me not , for today I am a new man, with a new life.
《今天，我天始新的生活》
今天，我爬出滿是失敗創(chuàng)傷的老繭。
今天，我重新來到這個世上，我出生在葡萄園中，國內(nèi)的葡萄任人享用。
今天，我要從最高最密的藤上摘下智慧的果實(shí)，這葡萄藤是好幾代前的智者種下的。
今天，我要品嘗葡萄的美味，還要吞下每一位成功的種子，讓新生命在我心里萌牙。
我選擇的道路充滿機(jī)遇，也有辛酸與絕望.失敗的同伴數(shù)不勝數(shù)，疊在一起，比金字塔還高。
然而，我不會像他們一樣失敗，因為我手中持有航海圖，可以領(lǐng)我越過洶涌的大海，抵達(dá)夢中的彼岸.
失敗不再是我奮斗的代價.它和痛苦都將從我的生命中消失。失敗和我，就像水火一樣，互不相容。我不再像過去一樣接受它們。我要在智慧的指引下，走出失敗的陰影，步入富足、健康、快樂的樂園，這些都超出了我以往的夢想. 我要是能長生不老，就可以學(xué)到一切，但我不能永生，所以，在有限的人生里，我必須學(xué)會忍耐的藝術(shù)，因為大自然的行為一向是從容不迫的.造物主創(chuàng)造樹中之王橄攤樹需要一百年的時間，而洋蔥經(jīng)過短短的九個星期就會枯老.我不留戀從前那種洋蔥式的生活，我要成為萬樹之王——橄欖樹，成為現(xiàn)實(shí)生活中最偉大的推銷員.
怎么可能?我既沒有淵博的知識，又沒有豐富的經(jīng)驗，況且，我曾一度跌入愚昧與自憐的深淵.答案很簡單。我不會讓所謂的知識或者經(jīng)驗妨礙我的行程.造物生已經(jīng)賜予我足夠的知識和本能，這份天賦是其它生物望塵莫及的。經(jīng)驗的價值往往被高估了，人老的時候開口講的多是糊涂話.說實(shí)在的，經(jīng)驗確實(shí)能教給我們很多東西，只是這需要花費(fèi)太長的時間.等到人們獲得智慧的時候，其價值已隨著時間的消逝而減少了.結(jié)果往往是這樣，經(jīng)驗豐富了，人也余生無多.經(jīng)驗和時尚有關(guān)，適合某一時代的行為,并不尋味著在今天仍然行得通。
只有原則是持久的，而我現(xiàn)在正擁有了這些原則.這些可以指引我走向成功的原則全寫在這幾張羊皮卷里.它教我如何避免失敗，而不只是獲得成功，因為成功更是一種精神狀態(tài).人們對于成功的定義，見仁見智，而失敗卻往往只有一種解釋:失敗就是一個人沒能達(dá)到他的人生目標(biāo)，不論這些目標(biāo)是什么。
事實(shí)上，成功與失敗的最大分野，來自不同的習(xí)慣。好習(xí)慣是開啟成員的鑰匙，壞習(xí)慣則是一扇向失敗敞開的門。因此，我首先要做的便是養(yǎng)成良好的習(xí)慣，全心全意去實(shí)行。
小時候.我常會感情用事，長大成人了，我要用良好的習(xí)慣代替一時的沖動。我的自由意志屈服于多年養(yǎng)成的惡習(xí)，它們威脅著我的前途。我的行為受到品味、情感、偏見、欲望、愛、恐懼、環(huán)境和習(xí)慣的影響，其中最厲害的就是習(xí)慣。因此.如果我必須受習(xí)慣支配的話，那就讓我受好習(xí)慣的支配。那些壞習(xí)慣必須戒除，我要在新的田地里播種好的種子。 我要養(yǎng)成良好的習(xí)慣，全心全意去實(shí)行。
這不是輕而易舉的事情，要怎樣才能做到呢，靠這些羊皮卷就能做到。因為每～卷里都寫著一個原則，可以摒除—項壞習(xí)慣，換取一個好習(xí)慣，使人進(jìn)步，走向成功。這也是自然法則之一，只有一種習(xí)慣才能抑制另一種習(xí)慣。所以，為了走好我選擇的道路，我必須養(yǎng)成的第一個習(xí)慣
每張羊皮卷用三十天的時間閱讀，然后再進(jìn)人下一卷。 清晨即起，默默誦讀;午飯之后，再次默讀;夜晚睡前，高聲朗讀。
第二天的情形完全一樣。這樣重復(fù)三十天后，就可以打開下一卷了。每一卷都依照同樣的方法讀上三十天，久而久之，它們就成為一種習(xí)慣了。
這些習(xí)慣有什么好處呢?這里隱含著人類成功的秘訣。當(dāng)我每天重復(fù)這些話的時候，它何成了我精神活動的一部分，更重要的是，它們滲入我的心靈。擁是個神秘的世界，永不靜止，創(chuàng)造夢境，在不知不覺中影響我的行為。
當(dāng)這些羊皮卷上的文字，被我奇妙的心靈完全吸收之后，我每天都會充滿活力地醒來。我從來沒有這樣精力充沛過。我更有活力，更有熱情，要向世界挑戰(zhàn)的欲望克服了一切恐懼與不安。在這個充滿爭斗和悲傷的世界里，我竟然比以前更快活。 最后，我會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有了應(yīng)付一切情況的辦法。不久，這些辦法就能運(yùn)用自如.因為，任何方法，只要多練習(xí)，就會變得簡單易行。
經(jīng)過多次重復(fù)，一種看似復(fù)雜的行為就變得輕而易舉，實(shí)行起來，就會有無限的樂趣，有了樂趣，出于人之天性，我就更樂意常去實(shí)行。于是，一種好的習(xí)慣便誕生了.習(xí)慣成為自然。既是一種好的習(xí)慣，也就是我的意原。
今天，我天始新的生活.
我鄭重地發(fā)誓，絕不讓任何事情妨礙我新生命的成長。在閱讀這些羊卷的時候，我絕不浪費(fèi)一天的時間，因為時光一去不返，失去的日子是無法彌補(bǔ)的。我也絕不打破每天閱讀的習(xí)慣。事實(shí)上，每天在這些新習(xí)慣上花費(fèi)少許時間，相對于可能獲得的愉樂與成功而言，只是微不足道的代價。 當(dāng)我閱讀羊皮卷中的字句時，絕不能出為文字的精煉而忽視內(nèi)容的深沉。一瓶葡萄美酒需要千百顆果子釀制而成，果皮和渣子拋給小鳥。葡萄的智慧代代相傳，有些被過濾，有些被淘汰，隨風(fēng)飄逝。只有純正的真理才是永恒的。它們就精煉在我要閱讀的文字中。我要依照指示，絕不浪費(fèi)，飲下成功的種子。
今天，我的老繭化為塵埃。我在人群中昂首闊步，不會有人認(rèn)出我來，因為我不再是過去的自己、我已擁有新的生命。
英文勵志文章：英語勵志短文
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, 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.
無論是60歲還是16歲，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄滅的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事業(yè)成功的歡樂與熱情。在你我的心底，有一座無線電臺，它能在多長時間里接收到人間萬物傳遞來的美好、希望、歡樂、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就會年輕多長時間。
An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
人的生命應(yīng)當(dāng)像河流，開始是涓涓細(xì)流，受兩岸的限制而十分狹窄，爾后奔騰咆哮，翻過危巖，飛越瀑布，河面漸漸開闊，河岸也隨之向兩邊隱去，最后水流平緩，森森無際，匯入大海之中，個人就這樣毫無痛苦地消失了。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.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 deserting our ideals.
青春意味著戰(zhàn)勝懦弱的那股大丈夫氣概和擯棄安逸的那種冒險精神。往往一個60歲的老者比一個20歲的青年更多一點(diǎn)這種勁頭。人老不僅僅是歲月流逝所致，更主要的是不思進(jìn)取的結(jié)果。
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
光陰可以在顏面上留下印記，而熱情之火的熄滅則在心靈上刻下皺紋。煩惱、恐懼、缺乏自信會扭曲人的靈魂，并將青春化為灰燼。
英文勵志文章： A New Day 嶄新的一天
The sun has begun to set and I hang up the smile I’ve worn all day, though I will make sure it is the first thing I put back on in the morning just in case it is “that day.” I want her to see me at my very best.
太陽將要下山，我收起掛了一天的微笑，不過我會確保明天早上第一件事就是將它又掛回去，以防這天就是“那一天”。我希望她看到我的最佳狀態(tài)。
I do the normal routine, eat dinner, clean the house, write—the usual stuff. And then I lay down hoping to fall asleep quickly so my new day will hurry up and arrive. A new day with a brand new sun. But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker, and then often that snicker will turn into a burst of laughter.
我按平時的規(guī)律吃晚餐、打掃屋子、寫作——做著日常事務(wù)。然后我躺下，希望能快點(diǎn)入睡，新的一天就能快點(diǎn)到來——擁有新生太陽的嶄新的一天?？僧?dāng)我躺在那兒，等待著世界的日夜回轉(zhuǎn)時，我想到了她。有時我會笑起來，有時那微笑變成了竊笑，然后竊笑又常常變成爆笑。
And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle. Then somehow through either the joy or the sadness I drift and find myself asleep. Then the dreams begin and keep me company until my new day arrives.
也有些時候，我的喉嚨像是被一塊東西哽住了，胸口發(fā)悶;有時那種傷感席卷而來，我開始流淚，眼淚常常越流越多，我再也無力抵抗悲傷，敗下陣來。然后不知怎的，我在或喜悅或悲傷中飄蕩，逐漸入眠。然后夢境開始伴我左右，直至新的一天到來。
When I awake it’s with such excitement because I tell myself this could be the day that every other day has led up to and the first day of the rest of my life. I quickly don my smile because I do so want her to see me at my very best. Then I look out the window because, even though I know it’s dawn, I still have to confirm I’ve been given another chance to find her.
醒來時，我興奮不已，因為我告訴自己今天也許就是之前其他日子為之打下基礎(chǔ)的“那一天”，是我余生的第一天。我迅速掛上微笑，因為我真的很想讓她看到我的最佳狀態(tài)。然后我朝窗外看去，因為即使我知道現(xiàn)在才剛剛破曉，我仍得確定自己可以與她再次邂逅。
And there it is…the sun, even when it’s cloudy; somehow I still see it. And it smiles at me and I say, “Thank you,” and I smile back.
它在那里……太陽，雖然還是云霧重重，但我還是看到它了。它朝我微笑，我道了聲“謝謝”，回以一笑。
Then I ask myself, “Is this the day?” And the excitement rushes over me again. And then I ask myself, “Where’s it going to be?”
然后我問自己：“今天就是那一天嗎?”興奮之情再次充溢全身。然后我問自己：“它會在哪里呢?”
Maybe it’ll be at the water fountain, and, unexpectedly, there I’ll find her, and much more than my thirst will be quenched. Maybe it’ll be at the grocery store and there she’ll appear as I’m picking out fruit, and she’ll show me the difference between fresh and spoiled. Then, from that moment, nothing that I eat will ever taste the same because she’ll bring out the simplest beauties in everything I see, taste, smell, hear, or touch.
也許它會藏在飲水機(jī)里，沒想到我真能在那里找到她，為我生津止渴，取之不盡。也許它會躲在雜貨店里，我拿起水果的時候，她就出現(xiàn)了，她會給我展示新鮮和變質(zhì)的不同。然后，從那一刻開始，我所嘗到的一切味道不再一樣，因為但凡我看到的、嘗到的、聞到的、聽到的或摸到的東西，她都帶出了它們最簡單的美麗。
Or maybe today will be the day when my angel brings an item up to the cash register without its price tag. And as I wait behind this angel with all the frustrated people who are in such a hurry with their busy lives, I will find myself with such blessed extra time. Just enough time to start a conversation with this beautiful vision standing in front of me that I might not otherwise have noticed, but, because of a “price check on register 5,” I was able to find her.
或許就在今天，我的天使把一件沒有價格標(biāo)簽的商品拿到收銀臺。我在天使身后排隊，看著身心疲憊的人們忙忙碌碌地過日子，慶幸自己得到了這樣的額外時間，讓我可以和面前的倩影閑聊一會兒，否則我也許會錯過，但只因為一句“請到5號收銀臺付款”，我就能找到她。
Thank you for the sun, which began my new day. Thank you for granting me the faith when I arose this morning that I would find her in this new day. But most of all, thank you for me not having to ever wait on another sunrise because whenever I want to see it, I will look at her and there it shall always be, in her eyes; she will forever hold it for me.
感謝太陽，它是新一天的開始。感謝你讓我今早一起床就滿懷信心，知道自己能在這新的一天找到她。但最要感謝的是我不必再等下一個日出，因為無論我想何時看到它，我都可以看向她，它總會出現(xiàn)在她的雙眸里;她永遠(yuǎn)為我留著。
She is my sunrise, my dawn, my new day.
她是我的日出，我的黎明，我嶄新的一天。
