英文勵志小詩
一、THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE
Robert H. Schuller
Failure doesn t mean you are a failure,
It does mean you haven t succeeded yet.
Failure doesn t mean you have accomplished nothing,
It does mean you have learned something.
Failure doesn t mean you have been a fool,
It does mean you had a lot of faith.
Failure doesn t mean you ve been disgraced,
It does mean you were willing to try.
Failure doesn t mean you don t have it,
It does mean you have to do something in a different way.
Failure doesn t mean you are inferior,
It does mean you are not perfect.
Failure doesn t mean you ve wasted your life,
It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.
Failure doesn t mean you should give up,
It does mean you must try harder.
Failure doesn t mean you ll never make it,
It does mean it will take a little longer.
Failure doesn t mean God has abandoned you,
It does mean God has a better idea.
十大策略 失敗的意義
羅伯特•H•舒勒
失敗並不代表你是個失敗者，
它只表明你尚未成功。
失敗並不代表你一無所獲，
它只表明你吸取了一次教訓。
失敗並不代表你很愚蠢，
它只表明你信心百倍。
失敗並不代表你無臉見人，
它只表明你百折不回。
失敗並不代表你工夫白費，
它只表明你的做事方法尚待改進。
失敗並不代表你低人一等。
它只表明你並非完人。
失敗並不代表你浪費生命，
它只表明你有理由重新開始。
失敗並不代表你應該放棄，
它只表明你要加倍努力。
失敗並不代表成功永不屬於你，
它只表明你要付出更多的時間。
失敗並不代表上帝已經拋棄你，
它只表明上帝還有更好的主意。
二、FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE
Neil Simon
Don t listen to those who say,
“It s not done that way.”
Maybe it s not, but maybe you will.
Don t listen to those who say,
“You re taking too big a chance.”
Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor,
and it would surely be rubbed out by today.
Most importantly, don t listen
When the little voice of fear inside of you
rear its ugly head and says,
“They re all smarter than you out there.
They re more talented,
They re taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have
connections...”
I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests
you,
Not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation
with others,
But with the strength of conviction
That you can move others by your own efforts,
And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you
live,
The chances are you ll be a person worthy of your own
respect.
走自己的路
尼爾•西蒙
別聽那些人的話，
“這事不能那么做。”
也許是不能那么做，可是也許你就會那么做。
別聽那些人的話，
“你這個險冒得太大了。”
米開朗琪羅可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作過畫，
到今天肯定已經被抹掉了。
最重要的是，
當你心中恐懼的聲音，
抬起它醜陋的頭說，
“那邊那些人都比你聰明，
他們更有才華，
他們更高大、皮膚更白、更漂亮、更幸運，
並且認識各種各樣的人…”
你可千萬別理會。
我堅信只要選擇一條你感興趣的路，
不排除愛情、敏銳以及與別人的合作，
而是堅定地認為，
通過你自身的努力能夠感動他人，
不把成功或者失敗作為你生活的標準，
那么你就可能成為值得自己敬佩的人。
三、FAITH
Napolean Hill
Faith is the “eternal elixir”
Which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of
thought!
Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!
