　　篇【1】

　　A life of slothful ease, a life of that peace which springs merely from lack either of desire or of power to strive after great things, is as little worthy of a nation as an individual.

　　We do not admire the man of timid peace. We admire the man who embodies victorious efforts,

　　the man who never wrongs his neighbor, who is prompt to help a friend, but who has those virile qualities necessary to win in the stern strife of actual life. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort. Freedom from effort in the present merely meansthat there has been effort stored up in the past. A man can be freed from the necessity of work only by the fact that he or his fathers before him have worked to good purpose. If the freedom thus purchased is used aright, and the man still does actual work, though of a different kind, whether as a writer or a general, whether in the field of politics or in the field of exploration and adventure,

　　he shows he deserves his good fortune.

　　But if he treats this period of freedom from the need of actual labor as a period, not of preparation, butof mere enjoyment, even though perhaps not of vicious enjoyment, he shows that he is simply a cumberer on the earth’s surface; and he surely unfits himself to hold his own place with his fellows, if the need to do so should again arise. A mere life of ease is not in the end a very satisfactory life, and, above all, it is a life which ultimately unfits those who follow it for serious work in the world.

　　As it is with the individual, so it is with the nation. It is a base untruth to say that happy is the nation that has no history. Thrice happy is the nation that has a glorious history. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much,because they live in the gray twillight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

　　篇【2】

　　Adversity1 Is an Advantage

　　[1]Prosperity2 is a great teacher; adversity a greater.

　　[2]We can always learn more from challenging times than from good times.

　　[3]Adversity is the catalyst3 that forces us to stretch. It propels us to find solutions to problems we never would have considered if not for adversity.

　　[4]Adversity can provide the fuel that sparks new strengths we didn't realisze we had with in us.

　　[5]How we cope with adversity is also a learning experience. There are times in all of our lives where we have handled adversity well, and times where we have not.

　　[6]Next time adversity strikes4, remember, you can use it to your advantage by learning from it.

　　Bush’s Speech on Thanksgiving

　　[1]Good mornig. This week, Americans across our Nation gather with loved ones to give thanks for the many blessings we share. We’re grateful for our friends and families, who fill our lives with meaning and purpose. We’re grateful to live in a land of plenty and during a time of great prosperity. And we’re grateful to Almighty God for the freedom to enjoy all these gifts.

　　[2]Every Thnksgiving, we remember the story of the Pilgrims who came to America in search of a better life and religious freedom. Much has changed in the four centuries since these humble settlers landed at Plymouth Rock. While they were only a shivering few, we are now a strong and growing Nation of more than 300 million. And the desire for freedom that led the Pilgrioms to the New World still guides our Nation today.

　　…

　　[3]Thanks giving reminds us that the true strength of our Nation is the compassion and decency of our people. And as we count our blessings, we remember that those blessings are meant to be shared. I encourage all Americans to look for a way to help those in need—from tutoring a child, to working in a shelter, to giving a hand to a neighbor. I thank all those Americans who volunteer this season, and laure and I wish every American a safe and happy holiday.

　　[4]Thank you for listening.
