美文賞析:別人是你的一面鏡子，請把握好人生中的每一面鏡子
每天照照鏡子，我們都會發現自己不滿意的地方，重新把自己打扮得漂漂亮亮的；而人呢？是否也懂得其實每一個人都是一面鏡子。看着自己不喜歡的人，要懂得自己要如何更好的完善自己，別讓自己也成為大家不喜歡的對象。請把握好人生中的每一面鏡子。
別人是你的一面鏡子
The first time you meet someone, in the first moment you form an impression inyour mind of that person. Your reactions to other people, however, are reallyjust barometers for how you perceive yourself. Your reactions to others saymore about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate aboutyourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend todislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we efore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate more clearlyyour own feelings of self-worth. Conversely, you can view the people you judgenegatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.
To coexist peacefully with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A bigchallenge is to shift your perspective radically from judgment of other to alifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions,judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how youcan heal yourself and become whole.
I recently has a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable tablemanners. My first reaction was to judge him as offensive and his table mannersas disgusting. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and askedmyself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with
someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I wasastonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in therestaurant perceived me.
Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shieldagainst you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as offensive does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In thesame way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.
When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest grievances as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors,guiding your to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.
英語美文：孤獨人生
Solitude --Ella Wheeler Wilcox
孤獨
Laugh, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of its own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.
笑則天下笑，
泣則獨自泣。
因悲哀的舊世界須借貸歡笑，
而它自身的麻煩不少。
唱則羣山應，
歎則空散盡。
回聲反射成歡欣，
傾訴憂慮無迴音。
Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.
喜則人尋你，
悲則眾人離。
他們要度量你的歡快，
但他們不要你的悲哀。
你高興，朋友會多起來，
你悲傷，他們轉身走開。
無人會拒絕你的佳釀，
但你要獨自把生活的苦酒品嚐。
Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.
設宴，高朋滿盈，
齋戒，無人問津。
成功和慷慨能助你生，
但是他人救不了你死。
娛樂大廳裏有一間房，
長長豪華列車停中央，
但我們都必須魚貫上，
通過狹長痛苦的走廊。
美文欣賞:Life comes in a package 有種旅行叫作人生
人生是一個過程，更像一場旅行。旅行路上，有時風和日麗，有時狂風驟雨；不必畏懼，珍惜沿途的點點滴滴，克服面臨的種種困難，用心感受，用心經營，讓我們的人生旅程過得更加有意義。
Life comes in a package
有種旅行叫作人生
Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
人生好似一個包裹，這個包裹裏藏着快樂與悲傷、成功與失敗，希望與絕望。人生也是一個學習的過程。那些經歷給我們上了全新的課，讓我們變得更好。隨着每一天的過去，我們學會了處理各種各樣的問題。
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on out life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
愛
愛在生活之外扮演了一個關鍵的角色。愛使你想要得到些什麼。沒有愛，一個人將走向不歸路，變得兇暴、殘忍。在我們最初的人生道路上，我們的父母給予了我們無條件的關愛，他們教會我們判斷正確與錯誤、好與壞。然而我們常常把這想當然了，只有等到我們結了婚並且有了孩子之後，一個人才會懂得並注意別人的感受。孩子讓我們變得富有責任心、變得成熟穩重，並且更好的理解人生。
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
快樂與悲傷
物質上的快樂往往是短暫的，然而，當你給予他人一個微笑的時候，那種滿足卻是無與倫比的。心靈的平靜往往是快樂的源泉。沒有平和的心態就沒有快樂的心情。在傷心的時候，我們往往能夠體會到快樂的真諦。悲傷基本都來自於一個愛人的去世、失敗還有絕望，但是這樣的事情都是暫時的，總會過去的。
Failure and Success
Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
失敗與成功
失敗是成功之母。它讓我們觸及藍天，它教會我們如何生存，它給予我們一條特殊的路。成功給予我們金錢、名譽、驕傲和自尊。這裏，保持頭腦清醒便顯得尤為重要。唯一能讓我們感激上帝給予的成功便是始終卑微、謙虛、禮貌並且尊重沒有我們幸運的`人們。
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
希望與絕望
希望是人生動力之源。父母總是希望自己的孩子能夠做得很好。希望使我們有夢想。希望使我們變得有耐心。人生教會我們即使是在最困難的時候都不要絕望，因為黑暗之後終將是黎明。沒有什麼事一成不變的，我們惟有充滿希望地繼續生活。
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better
tomorrow.
人生教會我們不要對過去的事感到後悔，因為過去的終究是過去了並且我們已無法控制。沒人知道明天會是怎樣，因為它可以是光明的同樣也可以是無趣的。所以，唯一的選擇便是在今天努力工作，這樣才能讓我們去享受更美好的明天。
美文賞析:讚揚的益處(不要吝嗇於對別人的讚美）
有時候，我們總吝嗇於真誠的去讚美別人，要知道，發自內心的讚美絕對是雙贏的。哈哈~大家試一下吧~要真誠的哦。
讚揚的益處
It was the end of my exhausting first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone awry, my apron was stained, my feet ached. The loaded trays I carried felt heavier and heavier. Weary and discouraged, I didn't seem able to do anything right. As I made out a complicated check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to quit.
我在紐約一家繁忙餐館做女招待的第一天就要結束了，我感到精疲力盡。我的帽子歪了，圍裙上污跡斑斑，兩腳疼痛難忍。盛着食物的托盤讓我感覺越來越沉重。我又疲倦又沮喪，似乎什麼事情都沒能幹好。有一個帶着好幾個小孩的人家，他們在要冰激凌時換來換去多達十幾次，就在我為他們開好複雜和賬單時，我準備辭職不幹了。
Then the father smiled at me as he handed me tip. "Well done," he said. "You've looked after us really well."
這時，那位當父親一邊把小費遞給我，一邊對我微笑。“幹得不錯，”他説，“你對我們照顧得真周到。”
Suddenly my tiredness vanished. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I'd liked my first day, I said, "Fine!" Those few words of praise had changed everything.
頓時，我的倦意消失了。我對他也報以微笑。後來，經理問我第一天上班的感覺時，我説：“好極了！”那不多的幾個讚美之辭改變了一切。
美文賞析:完美人生四大夢
完美人生是什麼樣子呢？伯恩·崔西（Brian Tracy）告訴我們，以下四大夢想成就完美人生：
Healthy and Fit
健康有活力
The first goal common to all of us is health and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the incredible advances in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan, is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits.
人生的第一個大夢就是身體健康、精力充沛。每個人都希望自己健康，遠離病苦病痛、精神舒暢、活力無窮。今天的醫學發達，人類可以藉由良好的規劃和調理，活得更健康、更長久。有良好生活習慣的人，比起那些糟蹋自己身體的人，能活得更健康、精力更旺盛。
Excellent Relationships
人際關係良好
The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships--intimate, personal or social--with the people we like and respect, and who like, love and respect us in turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they like, love and respect you, has more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor.
人生的第二大夢就是完美的人際關係，與親人、朋友和同事，以及社會上一般人融洽相處、互動良好。我們愛且尊敬他人，而他人也愛且尊敬我們。人們在任何一個人生階段或居住在任何一個地區是否覺得幸福快樂，其中有百分之八十五取決於融洽的人際關係。你與他人相處的情形，他人是否喜歡你、愛你、尊重你，構成了你是否覺得幸福快樂的關鍵因素。
Do What You Love
從事自己喜歡的工作
The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted faster. You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do.
人生的第三個大夢就是做自己喜歡的工作，而且表現出色、薪酬優厚。每個人都希望從事自己喜歡的行業，擁有喜歡的工作、獲得升遷、領取豐厚薪水和獎金。不論從事哪一個行業，每個人都希望在每一個職場階段儘量賺取更多財富。
Achieve Financial Independence
財務獨立
The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have to worry about money again. You want to be completely free of financial worries. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without using the price listings to determine what you want to eat.
人生的第四個大夢就是達到財務獨立。你希望能賺取相當數量的財富，一輩子都無須為錢煩惱。走進任何一家餐廳，你可以隨心所欲第點餐享用，而無須留意價目表上的數字。
以上四大夢想您完成了多少呢？不管怎樣，還是要記住那句話：If you can dream it, you can achieve it! 敢於夢想，就能實現！
英語美文 人生的十大法則
the rules for being human
1. You will receive a body.
You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period.
1.你將擁有一個軀體。
你可以喜之也可以惡之，但它畢生都會屬於你。
2. You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life. Each day in this school you will learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
2.你將接受教育。
你入讀了一所叫做"生活"的大學的全日制非正式學校。在學校的每一天你都將接受教育。你可以愛你所愛或者視之無聊而又豪無裨益。
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial and error: Experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".
3.沒有過失，只有教訓。
成長就是反覆"嘗試-犯錯"的漸進過程，或者説是實驗。那些所謂"失敗"的實驗和最終"奏效"的實驗一樣重要，都是這個過程的一部分。
4. A lesson is repeated until learned.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. Once learned, you then go on to the next lesson.
4.同樣的教訓會不斷重複直到你真正領悟為止。
同樣的教訓會以不同的形式不斷出現在你面前直到你學會為止。而一旦你學會了，就會馬上進入下一課的學習。
5. Learning lessons does not end.
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
5.學無止境。
生活的每個部分無不包含可學之處。只要活着，你就學無止境。
6. "There" is no better than "here".
When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here".
當你終於擁有了不曾擁有的東西，你只會發現自己又在嚮往別的東西，它們看起來總比你擁有的東西要好些。
7. Others are merely mirrors of you.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
7.他人只是你的鏡子。
不要去愛慕或憎惡別人的品性，除非這些品性在你自己身上也能找到，而你以同樣的態度處之。
8. What you make of your life is up to you.
You have all the tools and resources you need.
What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
8.要過怎樣的生活由你作主。
你掌握着陸一切你所需的工具和資源，怎麼用全由你作主。決策權在你手中。
9. The answers to Life's questions lie inside you.
All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
9.生活的答案皆藏心中。
你只須觀察，聆聽和信任。
10. You will forget all of this.
10.生活中你會忘記所有這些準則。
