那是个漆黑的、狂风暴雨的夜晚，大副从驾驶室出来走向船长说：“船长，船长，我们的海道上有灯光，而且他们不愿移开。”“他们不愿移开是什么意思？叫他们移开。告诉他们立即右偏。”信号发了出去：“右偏，右偏。”发回来的信号说：“你自己右偏。”“我就不信。这是怎么了？让他们知道我是谁。”信号发出去：“这里是密苏里巨轮，请右偏。”信号发了回来：“这里是灯塔。”朋友们，正确的原则犹如灯塔，他们不会移动。它们是自然法则。我们打破不了。我们与它们相悖，只能让自己受破坏。我们也可以去学习它们、适应它们、利用它们，并感激它们。然后我们自己得以发展，得以解放，得到使用这些原则的能力。T.S.爱略特曾说过一句话，我认为很适合用来做此行的结束语。他说：“我们将永不放弃奋斗，经过全力以赴的奋斗后，我们将回到出发之地，并再一次真正认识这个地方。”

互助小组
安娜十分想在高中毕业前为母校做点贡献，但她想不出能做些什么有意义的事。一天，安娜看见一个女孩坐在学校池塘边上哭。她便上前问道：“你还好吗？有什么我能帮你的？”安娜得知女孩上一年级，在学习上遇到些麻烦。安娜突然有了主意。她要创办一个辅导小组，让高年级学生有机会帮助学习有困难的低年级同学。不久，许多高年级同学都自愿加入这个小组。很快地，安娜还开办了其他小组，比如为父母离异的学生提供心理辅导的“我不孤单”小组和防止犯罪的“罪恶克星”小组。能给大家的生活带来改变，安娜觉得十分高兴。在毕业典礼上，她收到许多朋友赠送的鲜花。也许你也可以创建一个互助小组。你可以有以下几个选择：1）帮助同学戒烟2）帮助同学戒酒、戒赌3）提供健康咨询4）帮助新生适应学校生活5）为应届毕业生提供升学信息6）帮助遭遇家庭暴力的同学7）帮助受情绪困扰的同学8）帮助贫困生。
The Bright Side of Life
Sometimes the pressures of school and family can drive people up the wall.As young people experience the changes of adolescence，their emotions can switch violently.A bad day at school may result in a fight with your brother or sister；an argument with a friend may end in tears of sadness；and a conflict with a parent may lead to a broken window.Imagine that your heart is transparent as glass.Lets say right now it is empty.What would you like to put in your heart？What would you like people to see if they could look into your heart？Would they see anger，jealousy or sadness？These things would only make you feel bad.What about joy，peace and love？These qualities can make you smile，and the ones you love happy.Try to look at the bright side of life and things might begin to take on a whole new perspective.
生命的阳光地带
有时，来自学校和家庭的压力会把你逼入绝境。由于年轻人正经历许多青春期的变化，所以他们的情绪也会有很大的波动。在学校一天的不顺可能会导致你回家跟兄弟姐妹吵架；和朋友的争执会让你留下伤心的眼泪；与家长的冲突则可能留下一扇打破的玻璃窗。假设你的心是玻璃做的。如果现在是空的，你想用什么填满它呢？当你的心呈现在大家面前的时候，你希望他们看到的是什么呢？是愤怒、嫉妒、悲伤吗？这些情感只会使你更加郁闷。那喜悦、宁静和爱又如何呢？这些情感会使你心情愉悦，也会使你爱的人感到高兴！凡事往好的方面想，事情就会呈现出不同的面貌。
The Truth of Life
There were a sensitivity and a beauty to her that have nothing to do with looks.She was one to be listened to，whose words were so easy to take to heart.It is said that the true nature of being is veiled.The labor of words，the expression of art，the seemingly ceaseless buzz that is human thought all have in common the need to get at what really is so.The hope to draw close to and possess the truth of being can be a feverish one.In some cases it can even be fatal，if pleasure is ones truth and its attainment more important than life itself.In other lives，though，the search for what is truthful gives life.
