篇一:
You are Absolutely Unique
Enjoy that uniquenesss1. You do not have to pretend in order to seem more like someone else. You do not have to lie to hide the parts of you that are not like what you see in anyone else.
You were meant to be different. Nowhere, in all of history, will the same things be going on in anyone’s mind, soul and spirit as are going on in yours right now.
If you did not exist, there would be a hole in creation, a gap2 in history, and something missing from the plan for humankind. Treasure your uniqueness. It is a gift given only to you. Enjoy it and share it!
No one can reach out to others in the same way that you can. No one can speak your words. No one can convey your meanings. No one can comfort others with your kind of comfort. No one can bring your kind of understanding to another person. No one can be cheerful and light-hearted3 and joyous4 in your way. No one can smile your smile. No one else can bring the whole unique impact of you to another human being.
Share your uniqueness. Let it flow out freely among your family and friends, and the people you meet in the rush and clutter of living, wherever you are. That gift of yourself was given to you to enjoy and share. Give yourself away!
See it! Receive it!
Let it inform you, move you and inspire you!
You are unique!
翻译:你是独一无二的

你生来与众不同。现在你所拥有的思想,灵魂,精神是任何时刻、任何地点的其他人都不曾拥有的。
如果你不存在了,那么上帝的作品中就有了一个缺憾,历史也不再完整,人类发展也有了缺失。
珍惜你所拥有的独特性。这是上天给你的礼物,请欣赏并学会分享它。
没有人能像你一样乐于帮助别人。没有人能像你一样表达自己。也没人能够表达你想传达的意思。没有人能用你所特有的方式来安慰别人。也没有人能够像你一样善解人意。没有人能像你一样感受快乐、无忧无虑,也没有人能像你一样微笑。总而言之,没有人能够把你的特性展示给其他人。
分享你的独特性吧!尽情地将你的独一无二展示给其他人,英语短文不管是你的亲人和朋友还是你在纷繁复杂的生活中所遇到的路人。请欣赏并分享上帝给你的这份独特的礼物吧。释放你自己!
感知它并且接受它!
听从你的独特性,让它影响你、感动你并且激励你前进!
你是独一无二的!
篇二:
Follow Your Dream(追随梦想)
I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy"s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
"That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
"He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, `See me after class."
"The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, `Why did I receive an F?"
"The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you"ll have to pay large stud fees. There"s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’
"The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, `Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’
"Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, www.52article.com making no changes at all. He stated, `You can keep the F and I"ll keep my dream.""
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, "I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace." He added, "The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week." When the teacher was leaving, he said, `Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.’"
Don"t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.
我的一个朋友在圣地亚哥(San Diego)南部的圣伊西德罗(San Ysidro)社区拥有一个马场,他的名字叫曼迪罗伯茨(Monty Roberts)。他答应我可以用他的房子来举办一些活动,来为一些年轻人的风险投资计划方案募集资金。
记得上次我在他那里的时候,他是这样介绍我的:“我想让你们知道,为什么我会把房子借给Jack用。这让我想起以前曾经发生的跟一个小男孩有关的小故事。这个小男孩是一个游走驯马师的儿子。而父亲总是会到处奔走于各个马厩、跑道与农牧场之间为别人训练马匹。小男孩在高中的正常学习生活也因此不断受到打扰。临毕业的一年,老师给他布置了一篇短文作业,描述一下自己将来想成为什么样的人和会做一些什么样的事情”
“当晚,他写了7页纸的作业文章,构想是他将来想拥有一个马场。详述并绘制一幅图,图中,这个马场有200英亩大,以及各个相关建筑、马厩和跑道的具体地点。还有一个详细的建屋计划---一个坐落在200英亩马场里的4000平方英尺的大房子。”
“小男孩很用心完成了这篇作业,第二天交给了老师。两天后,作业发下来了。一个大大的红色的F出现在作业的头页,还有几个字:课后来见我”
“课后,这个内心充满梦想的小男孩来到了老师面前问:为什么我的作业只得了F呢?”
“老师说:像你这样的学生有这样的梦想非常的不切实际。你没有钱,又来自一个游走驯马师的家庭,你根本没有实现梦想所需要的资源。拥有一个马场需要很多的资金,你必须买地,买种马,将来你还要支付一大笔的配种费用。你根本就无法做到这些。老师接着说:如果你重新写一篇作业,说一些比较实际的理想。我会考虑重新给你打分。”
“小男孩回到家,仔细的想了好久好久。他问爸爸他究竟该怎么办。爸爸说:这样吧,儿子,这个决定由你自己做吧。但我想,这个决定对你来说也非常的重要”
“思考了整整一周的时间后,小男孩最后还是没有把作业做任何的改动,交了上去。跟老师说:你可以继续给我F的评分,而我却要继续保留我的梦想”
曼迪回过头对大家说:“跟你们说这些是因为你们现在就正坐在我的200英亩大的马场里的一个4000平方英尺的房子里面。那篇高中作业文章我一直留到现在,做了个框架,现在就挂在壁炉的上方。这个故事中,最精彩的部分是两个夏天之前,给我作业评分F的老师带着30个学生来到了我的马场,宿营了一周。当老师即将离开的时候,他说:曼迪,我可以这样跟你说,当我还是你的老师的时候,我简直就是一个盗取别人梦想的人。那些年,我偷了太多孩子的梦想了。让我感到欣慰和幸运的是,你却有足够的魄力和勇气没有放弃你自己的梦想。”
不要让任何人盗取你们的梦想。无论发生什么,跟随你的心,勇敢的前进吧!
篇三:
行动起来改善生活
Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it."
Of course not!
You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it.
Guess what her lifestyle is?
She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routinary cycle ensues.
Huh?!? Is this what she calls "doing her best?"
She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it.
Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting the effort to live the life of our dreams.
You reap what you sow.
You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone (unless it contributes to your success), and get your mind and body to work!
If your life is not meant the way you want it to be, don't just say: "Our time will come." or "Things will get better some day."
Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to resolve the problem.
It's not enough to think positive; you also have to act positive.
If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You got to do anything you can to save the person.
So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to DO your best.
In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life!
[参考译文]
许多人认为人应该认命接受生活跑给自己的一切。他们会说:“这就是我的命运,是命中注定的。要改变它我无能为力。”
当然不是这样!
你不必委曲求全。你的命运取决于你自己,而不是其他外在的因素。
我认识的一个人说她只不过是接受生活所给予的一切,因为她已经尽全力去改善生活了。
大家猜猜她过的是一种怎样的生活?
她早上醒来,去上班,回家,休息,和别人聊天,看电视,然后上床休息。第二天,这种生活重复循环着。
哈,这就是她所谓的“竭尽全力”?
她认为她已经尽了力,在心里接受了这种想法,即这就是上帝为她安排的生活,只有上帝愿意,她的运气才会改变。
当然,上帝希望我们幸福快乐,生活圆满,但我们也要尽力为过上我们梦想的生活而努力。
一份耕耘,一份收获。
你不能坐着不动,巴望着天上会掉下百万美元来。你必须从沙发起身,把眼睛从电视屏幕移开,放下手中的电话--除非它有助于你获得成功,然后全身心投入工作中!
如果你的生活并不称心如意,不要只说:“我们的时机会来的。”或“总有一天情况会好转的。”
别指望运气会改变,除非你对其有所行动。如果出现问题,不要紧紧将其视为暂时的挫败,而是把它当成是一种反应。吸取教训,充分利用当时的情况,并采取行动来解决问题。
积极地思考是不够的,你还需要积极地行动。
如果某个人的生活陷入麻烦,你只是希望和祈祷事情好转起来吗?当然不是。你应该尽你所能去解救这个人。
对于自己的生活也是这样。仅仅抱有乐观的态度是不够的,而是要尽力做到最好。换句话说,不要只是站(坐)在那儿,要行动起来改善你的生活!
