兩只青蛙
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, did you not hear us? The frog explained to them that he was deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time.

另一只青蛙繼續(xù)使勁地跳.那群青蛙再次向他大喊,要他放棄努力等死算了.他卻跳得更歡,最終跳了出來.在他出來之后,其余的青蛙問他：“你沒聽到我們的話嗎?”這只青蛙解釋說他是個(gè)聾子,以為他們一直在鼓勵(lì)他呢.

風(fēng)和太陽(yáng)(The Wind And The Sun)
One day the wind said to the sun, “Look at that man walking along the road. I can get his cloak off more quickly than you can.”
“We will see about that,” said the sun. “I will let you try first.”
So the wind tried to make the man take off his cloak. He blew and blew, but the man only pulled his cloak more closely around himself.
“I give up,” said the wind at last. “I cannot get his cloak off.” Then the sun tried. He shone as hard as he could. The man soon became hot and took off his cloak.
(有一天風(fēng)跟太陽(yáng)說: “看看那個(gè)沿著路上走的人.我可以比你快讓他把披風(fēng)脫下來.)

(因此風(fēng)嘗試讓那個(gè)人把披風(fēng)脫下來.他用力地吹,可是那個(gè)人把披風(fēng)拉得更緊.)
(“我放棄了,”風(fēng)最后說, “我無法讓他把披風(fēng)脫下來.”然后由太陽(yáng)試試看.他盡可能地曬他.不久,那個(gè)人很熱就把披風(fēng)脫下來了.)

China has been a powerful country for the most part of the past three thousand years. China is now rising again. Why is that so surprising to people? History is the best evidence. The rise of China is just a matter of when, not if. Plus, do you want $100 jeans? Do you want $200 shoes? Do you want $3000 computers? If the answers are NO, you\'d better thank China and appreciate the benefits that it brings to your daily life.
中國(guó)在過去3000年歷史中大部分時(shí)間當(dāng)中都是個(gè)強(qiáng)大的國(guó)家.中國(guó)現(xiàn)在再次崛起,為什么人們會(huì)感到如此奇怪?歷史是最好的證明.中國(guó)崛起只是個(gè)時(shí)間問題,而不是是否能崛起的問題.另外,你希望賣100美元一條的牛仔褲,200美元一雙鞋,3000美元的電腦嗎?如果不愿意,你必須要感謝中國(guó),感謝中國(guó)為你日常生活做出的貢獻(xiàn).
Keep Your Direction 堅(jiān)持你的方向
What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
翻譯：
如果失敗了你會(huì)怎么做?很多人可能會(huì)選擇放棄.然而,要想成功,最可靠的方法就是堅(jiān)持你的方向和目標(biāo).
在通往成功的路上,你必須堅(jiān)持你的方向.它就像一盞燈,在黑暗中為你指路,幫助你度過難關(guān).否則,你很容易就會(huì)迷失方向或猶豫不前.
方向意味著目標(biāo).人生如果沒有目標(biāo),將一事無成.
你可以試著把你的目標(biāo)寫在紙上,并制定實(shí)現(xiàn)目標(biāo)的計(jì)劃.這樣,你就會(huì)懂得如何合理安排時(shí)間,如何正確地支配時(shí)間.而且你還要有這樣的信念：只要你一直堅(jiān)持自己的方向,你就一定可以成功.
