一、THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE
Robert H. Schuller
Failure doesn t mean you are a failure,
It does mean you haven t succeeded yet.
Failure doesn t mean you have accomplished nothing,
It does mean you have learned something.
Failure doesn t mean you have been a fool,
It does mean you had a lot of faith.
Failure doesn t mean you ve been disgraced,
It does mean you were willing to try.
Failure doesn t mean you don t have it,
It does mean you have to do something in a different way.
Failure doesn t mean you are inferior,
It does mean you are not perfect.
Failure doesn t mean you ve wasted your life,
It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.
Failure doesn t mean you should give up,
It does mean you must try harder.
Failure doesn t mean you ll never make it,
It does mean it will take a little longer.
Failure doesn t mean God has abandoned you,
It does mean God has a better idea.
十大策略 失敗的意義
羅伯特•H•舒勒
失敗并不代表你是個(gè)失敗者，
它只表明你尚未成功。
失敗并不代表你一無所獲，
它只表明你吸取了一次教訓(xùn)。
失敗并不代表你很愚蠢，
它只表明你信心百倍。
失敗并不代表你無臉見人，
它只表明你百折不回。
失敗并不代表你工夫白費(fèi)，
它只表明你的做事方法尚待改進(jìn)。
失敗并不代表你低人一等。
它只表明你并非完人。
失敗并不代表你浪費(fèi)生命，
它只表明你有理由重新開始。
失敗并不代表你應(yīng)該放棄，
它只表明你要加倍努力。
失敗并不代表成功永不屬于你，
它只表明你要付出更多的時(shí)間。
失敗并不代表上帝已經(jīng)拋棄你，
它只表明上帝還有更好的主意。
二、FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE
Neil Simon
Don t listen to those who say,
“It s not done that way.”
Maybe it s not, but maybe you will.
Don t listen to those who say,
“You re taking too big a chance.”
Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor,
and it would surely be rubbed out by today.
Most importantly, don t listen
When the little voice of fear inside of you
rear its ugly head and says,
“They re all smarter than you out there.
They re more talented,
They re taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have
connections...”
I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests
you,
Not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation
with others,
But with the strength of conviction
That you can move others by your own efforts,
And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you
live,
The chances are you ll be a person worthy of your own
respect.
走自己的路
尼爾•西蒙
別聽那些人的話，
“這事不能那么做。”
也許是不能那么做，可是也許你就會(huì)那么做。
別聽那些人的話，
“你這個(gè)險(xiǎn)冒得太大了。”
米開朗琪羅可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作過畫，
到今天肯定已經(jīng)被抹掉了。
最重要的是，
當(dāng)你心中恐懼的聲音，
抬起它丑陋的頭說，
“那邊那些人都比你聰明，
他們更有才華，
他們更高大、皮膚更白、更漂亮、更幸運(yùn)，
并且認(rèn)識各種各樣的人…”
你可千萬別理會(huì)。
我堅(jiān)信只要選擇一條你感興趣的路，
不排除愛情、敏銳以及與別人的合作，
而是堅(jiān)定地認(rèn)為，
通過你自身的努力能夠感動(dòng)他人，
不把成功或者失敗作為你生活的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，
那么你就可能成為值得自己敬佩的人。
三、FAITH
Napolean Hill
Faith is the “eternal elixir”
Which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of
thought!
Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!
Faith is the basis of all “miracles”,
And all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of
science!
Faith is the only known antidote for failure!
Faith is the element, the “chemical” which,
When mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with
Infinite Intelligence.
Faith is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration
of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the
spiritual equivalent.
Faith is the only agency through which
the cosmic force of Infinite
Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.
信念
拿破侖•希爾
信念是“永恒的萬應(yīng)靈藥”，
它賦予突發(fā)奇想以生命、力量和行動(dòng)！
信念是所有財(cái)富積累的起點(diǎn)！
信念是一切“奇跡”
以及所有科學(xué)法則無法分析的奧秘的根基！
信念是惟一已知失敗之解藥！
信念是重要元素、“化學(xué)物質(zhì)”，
一旦與祈禱結(jié)合便會(huì)使你與上帝直接溝通。
人類的智慧固然有限，
普通的靈感閃現(xiàn)一經(jīng)信念指點(diǎn)，
便會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)換成精神震撼。
信念是惟一的中介，通過它
上帝的宇宙力會(huì)成為人類開發(fā)和利用的資源。
四、ON CHANGES
Irene Dunlap
Change is the only absolute
in the world,
the only thing
that you can depend on.
Nothing stays the same.
Tomorrow will come,
bringing with it
new beginnings and sometimes
unexpected endings.
You can hold on to the past
and get left in the dust;
or, you can choose to
jump on the ride of life
and live a new adventure
with perseverance
and an open mind.
論變化
艾琳•鄧萊普
變化是世界上
惟一絕對的東西，
是惟一
你能相信的事情。
沒有什么能一成不變，
明天將來臨，
它會(huì)帶來
新的開始，并且有時(shí)
還會(huì)帶來意想不到的結(jié)局。
你可以抓住過去，
蒙受遺棄；
或者，你可以選擇
躍上生命之車
進(jìn)行一次新的冒險(xiǎn)，
憑借堅(jiān)持不懈
和廣闊的胸懷。
五、RESULTS AND ROSES
Edgar Albert Guest
The man who wants a garden fair,
Or small or very big,
With flowers growing here and there,
Must bend his back and dig.
The things are mighty few on earth,
That wishes can attain,
Whatever we want of any worth,
We ve got to work to gain.
It matters not what goal you seek,
Its secret here reposes:
You ve got to dig from week to week,
To get results or roses.
碩果和玫瑰
埃德加•阿爾貝特•格斯特
要想有個(gè)美麗花園，
面積大小姑且不管，
只要園中長滿鮮花，
就必須把汗水揮灑。
有愿望就能實(shí)現(xiàn)，
這樣的事還真是少見，只要想要的東西有價(jià)值，
就得靠努力去創(chuàng)造。
目標(biāo)是什么并不重要，
秘訣終歸只有一條：
周復(fù)一周不怕勞累，
才能收獲碩果或者玫瑰。
李陽的勵(lì)志名言(中英文對照)
Pain past is pleasure. 過去的痛苦即快樂。 All things are difficult before they are easy. 凡事必先難后易。 Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 心之所愿，無事不成。 Where there is life, there is hope. 有生命必有希望。 I feel strongly that I can make it. 我堅(jiān)信我一定能成功。 Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness. 與其詛咒黑暗，不如燃起蠟燭。 The shortest answer is doing. 最簡短的回答就是行動(dòng)。 Four short words sum up what has lifted most successful individuals above the crowd: a little bit more. 成功的秘訣就是四個(gè)簡單的字：多一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)。 （凡事比別人多一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)！多一點(diǎn)努力，多一點(diǎn)自律，多一點(diǎn)實(shí)踐，多一點(diǎn)瘋狂。多一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)就能創(chuàng)造奇跡�。�
打擊我吧！ 傷害我吧！ 折磨我吧！ 侮辱我吧！ 冤枉我吧！ 迫害我吧！ Attack me! Hurt me! Torture me! Humiliate me! Mistreat me! Persecute me! 讓暴風(fēng)雨都來吧！讓我付出代價(jià)！ 讓我心態(tài)歸零！ 你使我興奮！ 你使我斗志昂揚(yáng)！ 你使我咬牙切齒！ Let storms rage against me! Let me pay the price! Let me hit rock bottom! You excite me! You fill me with the spirit to fight! You make me grind my teeth! 你使我百折不撓！ 你使我脫胎換骨！你使我變得更堅(jiān)強(qiáng)！ 你使我成為真正的人！ 你是我最幸福的回憶！ 你是我終生感激的恩人！ 我不是人，我要重塑人的尊嚴(yán)！ You make me determined! You make my completely reshape myself! You make me stronger! You make me a real man! You are my most joyful memory! I owe you all my life! I'm not human. I want to rebuild my dignity and honor. I want to reshape my life.
Great oaks from little acorns grow.合抱之木始于毫末
Rome was not built in a day.偉業(yè)非一日之功
Every little makes.積少成多
Drops of water outwear the stone.滴水穿石
God helps those who help themselves.自助者天助
No pains，no gains.沒有付出就沒有收獲
In our routine life and work, we will meet with insurmountable difficulties. Occasionally we do feel helpless and fall in desperate situation. In this case, to be or not to be depends on whether we have enough courage to struggle.在日常生活中，我們將遇到無法克服的困難。有時(shí)我們感到無助并陷入絕望的境地。在這種情況下，何去何從取決于我們是否擁有足夠的勇于拼搏的精神。
Never give up
Never give up,
Never lose hope.
Always have faith,
It allows you to cope.
Trying times will pass,
As they always do.
Just have patience,
Your dreams will come true.
So put on a smile,
You'll live through your pain.
Know it will pass,
And strength you will gain
永 不 放 棄 ，
永 不 心 灰 意 冷 。
永 存 信 念 ，
它 會(huì) 使 你 應(yīng) 付 自 如 。
難 捱 的 時(shí) 光 終 將 過 去 ，
一 如 既 往 。
只 要 有 耐 心 ，
夢 想 就 會(huì) 成 真 。
露 出 微 笑 ，
你 會(huì) 走 出 痛 苦 。
相 信 苦 難 定 會(huì) 過 去 ，
你 將 重 獲 力 量 。
Suck out all the marrow of life!
我來到這個(gè)世界，
因?yàn)槲蚁Ｍ畹糜幸饬x，
我希望活得充實(shí)，
汲取生命中所有的精華，
把非生命的一切都擊潰，
以免讓我在生命終結(jié)時(shí)，
發(fā)現(xiàn)自己從來沒有活過。
I came to this world
because I wanted to live deliberately.
I wanted to live deep
and suck out all the marrow of life！
To put to rout all that was not life.
And not, when I came to die,
discover that I had not lived.
Count Your Garden
Count your gardens
By the flowers……
Never by the leaves that fall
Count your days
By golden hours……
Don't remember clouds at all.
Count your nights by stars……
Not shadows.
Count your years with smiles……
Not tears.
Count your blessings……
Not your troubles.
Count your age by friends……
Not years.
