　　英語美文閱讀品析

　　The Reading Child

　　To respect my work, my associates and myself. To be honest and fair with them as I expect them to be honest and fair with me. To be a man whose word carries weight. To be a booster, not a knocker; a pusher, not a kicker; a motor, not a clog.

　　To base my expectations of reward on a solid foundation of service rendered; to be willing to pay the price of success in honest effort. To look upon my work as opportunity, to be seized with joy and made the most of, and not as painful drudgery to be reluctantly endured.

　　To remember that success lies within myself; in my own brain, my own ambition, my own courage and determination. To expect difficulties and force my way through them, to turn hard experiences into capital for future struggles.

　　To interest my heart and soul in my work, and aspire to the highest efficiency in the achievement of results. To be patiently receptive of just criticism and profit from its teaching. To treat equals and superiors with respect, and subordinates with kindly encouragement.

　　To make a study of my business duties; to know my work from the ground up. To mix brains with my efforts and use system and method in all I undertake. To find time to do everything needful by never letting time find me or my subordinates doing nothing. To hoard days as a miser does dollars, to make every hour bring me dividends in specific results accomplished. To steer clear of dissipation and guard my health of body and peace of mind as my most precious stock in trade.

　　Finally, to take a good grip on the joy of life; to play the game like a gentleman; to fight against nothing so hard as my own weakness, and endeavor to grow in business capacity, and as a man, with the passage of every day of time.

　　YOU

　　Consider... YOU.

　　In all of the time before now and in all of the time to come,

　　there has never been and will never be anyone just like you.

　　You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe.

　　Wow! Stop and think about that.

　　You're better than one in a million,

　　or a billion,or a gazillion....Y

　　ou are the only one in a sea of infinity!!!

　　You're amazing!

　　You're awesome!

　　And by the way, TAG, you're it.

　　As amazing and awesome as you already are,

　　you can be even more so.

　　Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature,

　　but beautiful old people are true works of art.

　　But you don't become "beautiful"

　　just by virtue of the aging process.

　　Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life.

　　That is the Art of Life.

　　You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you.

　　Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers.

　　You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.

　　Paint a Masterpiece.

　　God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest.

　　Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.

　　Big Rocks人生的大石頭

　　One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of students and, to drive home a point, used an illustration those students will never forget.

　　一天，時間管理專家為一群學(xué)生講課。他現(xiàn)場做了演示，給學(xué)生們留下了一生都難以磨滅的印象。

　　As he stood in front of the group of overachievers he said, "OK, time for a quiz." He pulled out a one-gallon, wide-mouth jar and set it on the table in front of him. He also produced about a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar. When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, "Is this jar full?"

　　站在那些高智商高學(xué)歷的學(xué)生前面，他說：“我們來做個小測驗”，拿出一個一加侖的廣口瓶放在他面前的桌上。隨后，他取出一堆拳頭大小的石塊，仔細(xì)地一塊放進玻璃瓶。直到石塊高出瓶口，再也放不下了，他問道：“瓶子滿了?”

　　Everyone in the class yelled, "Yes." The time management expert replied, "Really?" He reached under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, "Is this jar full?"

　　所有學(xué)生應(yīng)道：“滿了!”。時間管理專家反問：“真的?”他伸手從桌下拿出一桶礫石，倒了一些進去，并敲擊玻璃瓶壁使礫石填滿下面石塊的間隙。“現(xiàn)在瓶子滿了嗎?”他第二次問道。

　　By this time the class was on to him. "Probably not," one of them answered. "Good!" he replied. He reached under the table and brought out a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, "Is this jar full?"

　　但這一次學(xué)生有些明白了，“可能還沒有”，一位學(xué)生應(yīng)道。“很好!”專家說。他伸手從桌下拿出一桶沙子，開始慢慢倒進玻璃瓶。沙子填滿了石塊和礫石的所有間隙。他又一次問學(xué)生：“瓶子滿了嗎?”

　　No!" the class shouted. Once again he said, "Good." Then he grabbed a pitcher of water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim. Then he looked at the class and asked, "What is the point of this illustration?" One eager student raised his hand and said, "The point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it!"

　　“沒滿!”學(xué)生們大聲說。他再一次說：“很好!”然后他拿過一壺水倒進玻璃瓶直到水面與瓶口平。抬頭看著學(xué)生，問道：“這個例子說明什么?”一個心急的學(xué)生舉手發(fā)言：“無論你的時間多少，如果你確實努力，你可以做更多的事情!”

　　"No," the speaker replied, "that's not the point. The truth this illustration teaches us is if you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all. What are the 'big rocks' in your life? Time with your loved ones, your education, your dreams, a worthy cause, teaching or mentoring others? Remember to put these big rocks in first or you'll never get them in at all."

　　“不!”時間管理專家說，“那不是它真正的意思，這個例子告訴我們：如果你不是先放大石塊，那你就再也不能把它放進瓶子了。那么，什么是你生命中的大石頭呢?也許是你的道德感、你的夢想?還有你的---切切記得先去處理這些大石塊，否則，一輩子你都不能做!”
