第28章 超越卓越的你 (2)

That it’s more than a right, it’s your duty, to be who you are.

That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.

And you’ll be able to stay one up on what used .to get you down.

每个人都知道:

你无法为每个人办到每件事。

你无法立刻完成所有的事。

你无法把所有的事都做得尽善尽美。

你无法把每件事都做得比别人好,

你只是和其他人一样。

所以:

你要找到你是谁,做好自己。

你要决定什么是要先去做的。

你要发现自己的优点,并好好地利用。

你要学会不与其他人竞争。

因为没有人是你的对手。

接下来:

你要学着认识到自己的独一无二。

你要学习设置优先权并做决策。

你要接受生活的局限性。

你要学会适当尊重自己。

你将成为最重要的。

勇敢的相信:

你是个完美的,独一无二的人。

你创造了百年不遇的历史事件。

这是你的责任更胜过于你的权利。

生活不是一个需要解决的麻烦,而是一份需要珍惜的礼物。

勇敢的生活你将会得到你想拥有的一切。

Catch The Dream追随梦想

Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart. Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you. Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.

Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you’ve made, have faith in your judgment, catch the star that twinkles in your heart, and it will lead you to your destiny’s path. Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.

Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don’t let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination.

追随能够改变你命运的那颗星,那颗永远在你心中闪烁的明星。当它在你面前闪耀时,抓住这宝贵的机会。请谨记,只要你坚持不懈,最终的目标总能实现。

尽管实现梦想的途中有时会遇到障碍,要知道这是命运对你的挑战。不是每个人都会赞成你的选择,接受这个现实,并相信自我的判断,追随那颗在你心中闪烁的明星,它会引领你踏上命运的征途。坚持不懈,你就能享受那些幸福时刻。

每前进一步,你都应引以为豪,因为它们是你实现梦想的阶梯。要知道在这个过程中你也许会犯错误,但不要气馁。珍视自我的潜能,因为它们使你独一无二。生命中最珍贵的礼物不是花钱买来的,而是通过努力和决心而获取的。

My Miraculous Family生命的奇迹

I never considered myself unique, but people are constantly telling me, "You are a miracle." To me, I was just an ordinary "guy" with realistic goals and big dreams. I was a 19-year-old student at the University of Texas and well on my way toward fulfilling my "big dream" of one day becoming an orthopedic surgeon.

On the night of February 17, 1981 I was studying for an Organic Chemistry test at the library with Sharon, my girlfriend of three years. Sharon had asked me to drive her back to her dormitory as it was getting quite late. We got into my car, not realizing that just getting into a car would never quite be the same for me again. I quickly noticed that my gas gauge was registered on empty so I pulled into a nearby convenience store to buy 2.00 worth of gas. "I'll be back in two minutes," I yelled at Sharon as I closed the door. But instead, those two minutes changed my life forever.

Entering the convenience store was like entering the twilight zone. On the outside I was a healthy, athletic, pre-med student, but on the inside I was just another statistic of a violent crime. I thought I was entering an empty store, but suddenly I realized it was not empty at all. Three robbers were in the process of committing a robbery and my entrance into the store caught them by surprise. One of the criminals immediately shoved a .38 caliber handgun to my head, ordered me to the cooler, pushed me down on the floor, and pumped a bullet into the back of my head - execution style. He obviously thought I was dead because he did not shoot me again. Thetrio of thieves finished robbing the store and left calmly.

Meanwhile, Sharon wondered why I had not returned. After seeing the three men leave the store she really began to worry as I was the last person she saw entering the store. She quickly went inside to look for me, but saw no one-only an almost empty cash register containing one check and several pennies. Quickly she ran down each aisle shouting, "Mike, Mike!"

Just then theattendant appeared from the back of the store shouting, "Lady, get down on the floor. I've just been robbed and shot at!"

Sharon quickly dropped to the floor screaming, "Have you seen my boyfriend? He has auburn hair." The man did not reply but went back to the cooler where he found me choking on my vomit. The attendant quickly cleaned my mouth and then called for the police and an ambulance.

Sharon was in shock. She was beginning to understand that I was hurt, but she could not begin to comprehend or imagine the severity of my injury.

When the police arrived they immediately called the homicide division as they did not think I would survive and the 1paramedic reported that she had never seen a person so severely wounded survive. At 1:30 a.m. my parents who lived in Houston, were awakened by a telephone call from Brackenridge Hospital advising them to come to Austin as soon as possible for they feared I would not make it through the night.

But I did make it through the night and early in the morning the 1neurosurgeon decided to operate. However, he quickly informed my family and Sharon that my chances of surviving the surgery were only 40/60. If this were not bad enough, the neurosurgeon further shocked my family by telling them what life would be like for me if I 1beat the odds and survived. He said I probably would never walk, talk, or be able to understand even simple commands.

My family was hoping and praying to hear even the slightest bit of encouragement from that doctor. Instead, his pessimistic words gave my family no reason to believe that I would ever again be a productive member of society. But once again I beat the odds and survived the three and a half hours of surgery.

    美国公民读本(彩色英文版+中文翻译阅读)

    我希望这本书能实现双重功能:一方面能提供阅读练习,同时又能向读者提供一些知识;只要我们持之以恒地从书中汲取养分,而不是零星地、断断续续地这样做,那么这样的阅读可能会很有意义。我也希望本书能对老师在这些方面提供帮助,成为新的教学方式的核心,此类教学工作围绕它来进行。当然,每位老师都要以适合自己的方式来加以运用。我无意创作一部介绍公民学或研究美国历史的鸿篇巨著,而只是对我们政府的体制进行了概要描述,留给老师在其中填充血肉,并因地制宜地用于教学。至于历史,那似乎在了解特定的现存制度时才显得有用。倘若文中简洁的历史论述足以阐明政府的各方面主题,同时又能激发读者更广泛阅读,那么作者就非常满足了。
