【正文】 chieve the greatness and already I have stumbled in ignorance and fallen into pools of selfpity. The answer is simple. I will mence my journey unencumbered with either the weight of unnecessary knowledge or the handicap of meaningless experience. Nature already has supplied me with knowledge and instinct far greater than any beast in the forest and the value of experience is overrated, usually by old men who nod wisely and speak stupidly. 　　In truth, experience teaches thoroughly yet her course of instruction devours mens years so the value of her lessons diminishes with the time necessary to acquire her special wisdom. The end finds it wasted on dead men. Furthermore, experience is parable to fashion。 yet failure is always described but one way. Failure is mans inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be. 　　In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have successed lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is I will form good habits and bee their slave. 　　As a child I was slave to my impulses。 　　今天，我爬出滿是失敗創(chuàng)傷的老繭.。 　　今天，我要從最高最密的藤上摘下智慧的果實，這葡萄藤是好幾代前的智者種下的。 　　我選擇的道路充滿機遇，疊在一起，比金字塔還高。 　　。我不再像過去一樣接受它們。 我要是能長生不老，就可以學到一切，但我不能永生，所以，在有限的人生里，我必須學會忍耐的藝術(shù)，而洋蔥經(jīng)過短短的九個星期就會枯老。 　　怎么可能？我既沒有淵博的知識，又沒有豐富的經(jīng)驗，況且。造物生已經(jīng)賜予我足夠的知識和本能，這份天賦是其它生物望塵莫及的。等到人們獲得智慧的時候，經(jīng)驗豐富了，適合某一時代的行為，并不尋味著在今天仍然行得通。 　　事實上，成功與失敗的最大分野，來自不同的習慣。因此，我首先要做的便是養(yǎng)成良好的習慣，全心全意去實行。我的自由意志屈服于多年養(yǎng)成的惡習，它們威脅著我的前途。那就讓我受好習慣的支配。 我要養(yǎng)成良好的習慣，全心全意去實行。因為每～卷里都寫著一個原則，可以摒除—項壞習慣，換取一個好習慣，使人進步，走向成功。所以，為了走好我選擇的道路，我必須養(yǎng)成的第一個習慣。 清晨即起，默默誦讀。夜晚睡前，高聲朗讀。這樣重復(fù)三十天后，就可以打開下一卷了。 　　這些習慣有什么好處呢？這里隱含著人類成功的秘訣。擁是個神秘的世界，永不靜止，創(chuàng)造夢境，在不知不覺中影響我的行為。我從來沒有這樣精力充沛過。在這個充滿爭斗和悲傷的世界里，我竟然比以前更快活。不久，任何方法，只要多練習，就會變得簡單易行。于是。 　　今天，我天始新的生活。在閱讀這些羊卷的時候，我絕不浪費一天的時間，因為時光一去不返，失去的日子是無法彌補的。事實上，每天在這些新習慣上花費少許時間，相對于可能獲得的愉樂與成功而言，只是微不足道的代價。一瓶葡萄美酒需要千百顆果子釀制而成，果皮和渣子拋給小鳥。只有純正的真理才是永恒的。我要依照指示，絕不浪費，飲下成功的種子。我在人群中昂首闊步，不會有人認出我來，因為我不再是過去的自己、我已擁有新的生命。If only也可用于陳述語氣。 　　If only the alarm clock had ，就好了。 　　Does Your Dog Bite 　　There was a hound dog laying in the yard. An old man in overalls was sitting on the porch. Excuse me, sir, but does your dog bite? the tourist asked. 　　The old man replied, Nope. 　　So the tourist stepped out of his car. The dog ran over snarling and growling and bit him on his arms and legs. As the dog was dragging him away the tourist was flailing around in the dust and yelled, I thought you said your dog didnt bite! 　　The old man replied, Aint my dog. 　　Motto for a Positive Outlook 積極人生座右銘 　　Refuse to be unhappy, be cheerful instead. 拒絕心情不快，時刻神采飛揚。 　　Organize your time, keep your life simple and exactly the way you want it. 做時間的主人，以自己喜歡的方式簡單地生活。 　　Refuse to dwell on the mistakes or disappointments that are sometimes a part of life, instead learn how you can make things better. 不要沉湎于錯誤和失望中難以自拔，有時它們是生活不可或缺的組成部分，學會從中吸取教訓，下次做得更好。 　　Be energetic and positive about the things you do, and always hope for the best. 保持旺盛精力和積極心態(tài)，追求完美。 　　Before you know it, those wonderful dreams you have believed in all your life will e true, and your life will be the happy and successful life that it was meant to be. 等你明白這一切，生命中的美好愿望都將實現(xiàn)。 第 16 頁 共 16 頁
