英語勵志小故事17:No Complaint, No Maturation
In a restaurant, I met him.
He was grumbling continuously ever since he sat down, complaining hiscompany for little salary after eternally hard working; the unjust of his linemanager who merely promote the one ingratiate him with he; the unkind ofcolleagues for ganging up with and beating someone while
pretending to be wellwith? Finally, I caught the moment he stopped and enquired him cautiously: sinceyou are so unhappy with your work, why not changing ? he stupefied with aglance to me seemingly an alien “跳槽?Where should I go? You know that the economy isin the boom.” I have got it. Actually, his job was not so terrible.
After the dinner, he said good-bye to me heartily and left me
histelephone specially. However, I have never connected him ever. For me, it isout of consideration to make a friend with 一個怒氣沖天的人.
It reminds me 阿瑟·阿什, a well-know tennisplayer in America. He happened to catch the AIDS when he got a bloodtransfusion. A pile of his fans showed their sympathy and blamed the unjustGod. While 阿瑟·阿什 declared: “I get adeadly cancer, but a would not complain the God and myself because I know thatsomething we can not run away. I have no choice but to face when the daycomes.”
Genius! In his words, there is calmness, magnanimous, open-minded, aswell as the demeanors of a mature man. Unfortunately, we complaint everythingwhen we have to face the difficulty and setbacks in reality:
we alwayscomplaining that the God is unfair; the crucial fate, the grim human beings?Itis worth doing if his dissatisfaction go away, depression disappear, feelingsbecome motivational after complaint. But, the problem is, as a mass of shabbyand cool fog, the complaint is so misleading that confuses his mind and thendrops him deeper and deeper in the muddy.
Life is like a journey, from ignorant to mature. And I believe thattruly mature is start from no complaint.
翻譯:成熟,從不抱怨開始
遇見他,是在一個飯局上。
一落座,他就喋喋不休地抱怨起來:怨公司不好,拼死拼活一個月,拿到手里的工資沒多少;怨上司不公,誰擅長拍馬就重用誰;怨同事不善,成天勾心斗角明爭暗奪??終于,在他暫停抱怨的間隙,我小心翼翼地問了一句:既然工作如此不稱心,為什么不跳槽呢?他一愣,奇怪地看了我一眼,似乎在看一個外星人。 “跳槽?現(xiàn)在經(jīng)濟這么不景氣,往哪里跳?”一這下我算明白了,原來他的工作并非一無是處啊。
散席后。盡管他熱情地與我道別,并且特意留下他的電話,但我,卻再未聯(lián)系過他。對我來說,一個怨氣沖天的人,是不值得交往的。
不由得想起阿瑟·阿什。這位美國著名的網(wǎng)球名將,在一次輸血時感染了艾滋病。對于他的遭遇,許多球迷深表同情,且因此責怪老天對他太不公平。對此,阿瑟·阿什說道:“知今,我身患絕癥,我不怨天,也不怪自己;因為我知道有些事人無法左右,當不幸來臨時,我們只能面對。”
說得多么好!在這段話里,我們看到了從容,看到了平靜,看到了坦蕩,看到了豁達,看到了一位成熟男人的風范。然而遺憾的是,在現(xiàn)實生活中,面對困難和挫折,我們聽得最多的,還是抱怨:怨蒼天不公,怨命運殘酷,怨人情冷酷??如果說一個人抱怨之后,他的不滿與郁悶能夠隨風而去,心境能夠變得開朗起來,那他的抱怨還算是有價值的??蓡栴}在于,抱怨恰如一股陰冷潮濕的黑霧,足以遮蔽他的眼光迷惑他的心智,最終讓佑在自怨自艾的泥潭里越陷越深。
人生就是一段旅程,是一段從青澀走向成熟的旅程。而我相信,真正的成熟,是從不抱怨開始的。
英語勵志小故事18:Short Plank, Long Needle
The so-called “短板原理” sys the capacity of a wooden tub is not determinedby the long planks, but the shortest one. Applying to a person, the short plankis his shortcome or weak point. Or example, a versatile seems both文武雙全,能說會道,有能力有水平,but addicted in gambling, he is then, identifyinghimself not with those long planks, but the shot ones. Finally, he may 身敗名裂. This is maybe his “short plank”.
Among thebuilding forest with 避雷針, it is the highest one that truly make a differencein 避雷, and others made little. This is called “避雷針原理”. If, comparing to a person, the highest 避雷針 is hisspecial point and the method to make a living. A versatile without any specialpoints, his techniques are useless and just for decorating.
All human beingsare but the ones with shortcome; while a truly smart man is supposed to make uphis “short plank” with his all efforts. If impossible, he would better be carefulabout it and not let it be worse. It is so important to let he know that avoidto fail for this spot.
On the other hand,to make yourself the “highest避雷針” and never bother to compare with others. Instead,it is to be the best with your profession. In addition, never be the Mr.know-it-all, but a professor in a particular field. In this way, no short plankand having high避雷針, you will on your way to success.
翻譯:“板”忌短“針”宜長
一個木桶能裝多少水,不是由那些長板決定的,而是由那塊最短的板決定的,這就是經(jīng)濟學上的“短板原理”。用到一個人身上,短板就是指致命的缺點或弱點。譬如說,一個人哪兒都好,文武雙全,能說會道,有能力有水平,可就是沉溺于賭博,那么決定他命運的就不是“哪兒都好”的那些長板,而是賭博這塊短板,他最終身敗名裂,也許可能就是因為這塊短板。
在一個樓房林立的地區(qū),雖然每棟樓房都安有避雷針,但真正和雷電接觸能起到避雷作用的,是那根最高的避雷針,其他避雷針基本都是擺設,這就是“避雷針原理”。如果用來比喻一個人,最高的避雷針就是指他的最突出特長,他的最有效的謀生手段。一個多才多藝的人,如果沒有一項最能拿出手的技藝,他的多才多藝就只能是漂亮的點綴,沒有多大實際用處。
人非圣賢,所以人人都可能有“短板”,一個真正聰明睿智的人,應當盡量補齊自己的“短板”,如果實在不能補齊也要始終對其保持警惕,遏止其發(fā)展,千萬不要讓其成為導致自己人生失敗的致命缺點。
另一方面,則要竭力打造自己“最高的避雷針”,不必事事處處和別人比長短,而只在自己最突出的長項、技術、專業(yè)上爭高下;不要當行行通行行松的“萬金油”,要力爭成為某一行業(yè)的專家、內行.、權威、大腕。若果如此,“短板”不短,“避雷針”又極高,成功的大門便會一叩即開。

翻譯:識人五視
古人在實踐中積累了一套識人、用夕、的經(jīng)驗,歸納起來為“五視”,即: 居視其所親。注意觀察一個人平時跟誰在一起。如與賢人相近,則可重用;相反,若與小人為伍,就要加以當心。

英語勵志小故事20:The Counting Rule of Age
At the age of 79, the inventor Adisonannounced with pound and humor: “I am 135 years old.”
Seemingly, at the age of 40, the popularqueen Madana declared surprised that actually 35 years old might be morereasonable to her then.
Why Adison thought he was 135 years old butnot 79? This is because he accumulated the double working time than normalpeople: from
16-year-old to 60-year-old, Adison usually worked 18~20 hoursevery day. At some key point, he might worked all day and all night longwithout thinking of food and rest for several days in a row.; after 60 yearsold, he was suggested to decrease his work, but he insisted to work 16 hoursevery day; after his 80 years old, he still went to his lab
punctuately andworked all day with another three to five hours’ reading after going home. Thetime that Adison accounted and treasured, if counted as the time scheme thatnormal people, his lifespan has undoubtedly doubled. Therefore, his age was not79 but 135.
Why Mdana held that she should be aged 35but not 40? This is because she thought that sometime was be wasted in her lifeand of course should eliminated: the marriage time with her pre-husband waswasted in quarrels. This should be cut one year; the time she turned her back to her friend for something. Thisshould reduce two years; she once been a actress in a nonsense film for aworthless year. This should delete one year; she was spotted with enormous loveaffairs should be cut; in this way, she totally lost five years and from theage of 40 t 35. The counting rule of age, add the treasure time and reduce the wasteful;accumulate the meaningful and worthy years, while cut the meaningless andworthless moment. Good at counting rules, you can carding and check your pastin a wise way; good at counting rules, you can arrange yourself and make a planfor your future in a proper road..
翻譯:年齡加減法
發(fā)明大王愛迪生,在他79歲時,自豪而風趣地對人們宣布:“我已經(jīng)是135歲的人了?!?/p>
流行天后麥當娜,在她40歲時,語出驚人地對外宣稱,她應該是35歲才合理。
79歲的愛迪生為何加歲到135歲?因為他積攢了超出常人多倍的時間財富:16至60歲,愛迪生通常每天工作18~20小時,而在實驗關鍵期,他則常常會通宵達旦、廢寢忘食地連續(xù)奮戰(zhàn)幾晝夜;60歲后,人們勸服他縮減了工作量,但每天仍要干16小時;80歲后,他依然堅持白天準時去實驗室,一干一整天,晚上回家還要讀3~5小時的書。愛迪生一生積攢和珍惜時間,如按平常人一生活動和工作的時間來計算,他的生命早已成倍延長了,壽命早就大大增長了,所以他才將79歲加成135歲。
40歲的麥當娜為何要減歲到35歲?因為她認為生命中有些歲月是被浪費的,所以理應減去:她與前夫的婚姻,有一整年是在爭吵中浪費掉的,減1歲;她與好友因事翻臉,兩年友情算空白,減2歲;她出演過一部爛片,那一年毫無價值,又減1歲;她與某男星屢傳緋聞,那一年沒有意義,再減1歲。這般算來,她整整少了5歲,一下子從40歲減成35歲。年齡加減法,加入的是珍惜的時光,減去的是浪費的歲月;加入的是有意義有價值的時光,減去的是被揮霍被耗空的歲月。善用減法,可理智地梳理和清點過去;善用加法,可合理地安排現(xiàn)在,規(guī)劃未來。
