　　不要害怕困難!要歡迎它!困難是你最終成功的必經之路。下面是小編給大家整理的，供大家參閱!

　　：兩顆橡樹

　　if you want to understand adversity, take two identical acorns from the same oak tree and plant them in two different locations. plant the first in the middle of a dense forest, and the other on a hill by itself.

　　如果你想理解什麼是逆境，就去拿兩顆從同一棵樹上摘下來年齡相同的橡樹果，並且把它們種到不同的地方。第一顆種在濃密的樹林當中，而另外一顆則單獨種在一座山上。

　　here's what will happen. the oak standing on a hillside is exposed to every storm and gale. as a result its roots plunge deep into the earth and spread in every direction, even wrapping themselves around giant boulders. at times it may seem the tree isn't growing fast enough—but the growth is happening underground. it's as if the roots know they must ported the tree from the threatening elements.

　　事情的結果便是這樣。那顆長在山上的橡樹經歷了大風大雨，結果它的根深深地扎進了泥土中間，並不斷向四周擴張，甚至把自己置身於巨大的石塊當中。有時它可能看起來長的不是很快，但這時它卻在地下悄悄生長著，好像它的根知道自己必須快速生長來保護樹木免受自然危害的影響。

　　：做自己的主人，掌握自己的命運

　　I will know that only those with inferior ability can always be at their best ，and I am not inferior.There will be days when I must IN THE WORLD constantly struggle against forces which would tear me down，Those such sa despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there are others which approach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can slso destroy me.Against them，too.I must never relinquish control.

　　我將明白只有低能者才會江郎才盡，我並非低能者。我必須不斷對抗那些企圖摧垮我得力量。失望與悲傷一眼就會被識破，而其他許多敵人是不易察覺的，它們往往面帶微笑，伸出友誼之手，卻隨時有可能將我們摧垮。對它們，我們永遠不能放鬆警惕。

　　And with this new knowledge I will also understand and recognize the moods of him on whom i call， I will make allowances for his anger and irritation of today for he knows not the secret of controlling his mind.i can withstand him arrows and insults for now I know that tomorrow he will change and be a joy to approach.

　　有了這項新本領，我也更能體察別人的情緒變化。我寬容怒氣衝衝的人，因為他尚未懂得控制自己的情緒，我可以忍受他的指責和辱罵，因為我知道明天他會改變，重新變得隨和。

　　No longer will I judge a man on one meeting;no longer will i fail to call again tomorrow on he who meets me with hate today.this day he will not buy gold chariots for a penny，yet tomorrow he would exchange his home for a tree.My knowledge of this secret will be my key to great wealth.

　　我不再只憑一面之交來判斷一個人，也不再因他今日的可惡而明日不給他打電話。今天不肯花一分錢買金蓬馬車的人，明天他也許會用全部家當換一顆樹苗。知道了這個祕密，我可以獲得極大的財富。

　　Henceforth I will recognize and identify the mystery of moods in all mankind，and in me.From this moment I am prepared to control whatever personality awakes in me each day.I will master my moods through positive action and when I master my moods I will control my destiny.

　　我從此領悟到人類和我自己情緒變化的奧祕。對於自己千變萬化的個性，我不在聽之任之，我將積極主動的控制情緒，從而掌握自己的命運。

　　I will become master of myself.

　　我將成為自己的主人。

　　：抬起頭希望就在前方

　　if you put a buzzard in a pen six to eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. the reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten to twelve feet. without space to run, as is its habit, it will not even attempt to fly, but remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.

　　如果把一隻禿鷲放在一個6～8平方英尺的無頂圍欄裡，這隻大鳥儘管會飛，也絕對會成為這欄中之囚。原因是禿鷲從地面起飛前總要先助跑10～12英尺的距離。這是它的習慣，如果沒有了足夠的助跑空間，它甚至不會嘗試去飛，只會終身困囿於一個無頂的小囚籠中。

　　the ordinary bat that flies around at night, who is a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. if it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is to shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
