Giving Life Meaning
Have you thought about what you want people to say about you after you’re gone? Can you hear the voice saying, “He was a great man.” Or “She really will be missed.” What else do they say?
One of the strangest phenomena of life is to engage in a work that will last long after death. Isn’t that a lot like investing all your money so that future generations can bare interest on it? Perhaps, yet if you look deep in your own heart, you’ll find something drives you to make this kind of contribution---something drives every human being to find a purpose that lives on after death.
Do you hope to memorialize your name? Have a name that is whispered with reverent awe? Do you hope to have your face carved upon 50 ft of granite rock? Is the answer really that simple? Is the purpose of lifetime contribution an ego-driven desire for a mortal being to have an immortal name or is it something more?
A child alive today will die tomorrow. A baby that had the potential to be the next Einstein will die from complication is at birth. The circumstances of life are not set in stone. We are not all meant to live life through to old age. We’ve grown to perceive life3 as a full cycle with a certain number of years in between. If all of those years aren’t lived out, it’s a tragedy. A tragedy because a human’s potential was never realized. A tragedy because a spark was snuffed out before it ever became a flame.
By virtue of inhabiting a body we accept these risks. We expose our mortal flesh to the laws of the physical environment around us. The trade off isn’t so bad when you think about it. The problem comes when we construct mortal fantasies of what life should be like. When life doesn’t conform to our fantasy we grow upset, frustrated, or depressed.
We are alive; let us live. We have the ability to experience; let us experience. We have the ability to learn; let us learn. The meaning of life can be grasped in a moment. A moment so brief it often evades our perception.
What meaning stands behind the dramatic unfolding of life? What single truth can we grasp and hang onto for dear life when all other truths around us seem to fade with time?
These moments are strung together in a series we call events. These events are strung together in a series we call life. When we seize the moment and bend it according to our will, a will driven by the spirit deep inside us, then we have discovered the meaning of life, a meaning for us that shall go on long after we depart this Earth.
給生命以意義
你有沒有想過，你希望人們在你死後怎樣評論你?你能否聽到這樣的說，“他是個偉大的人”或“人們的確會懷念她”，他們還會說些什麼?
人生最奇異的現象之一就是，你從事的事業在你死後仍將長久存在。這和你用所的錢進行投資以便後人能從中獲益不是如出一轍嗎?也許，如果你審視自己的內心深處，你就會發現促使你做出這種貢獻的驅動力-一種驅使每個人尋找在自己死後仍能繼續存在的事業的驅動力。
你希望自己的名字被人記住嗎?你希望別人提起你的名字時心懷敬畏嗎?你希望自己的面容被雕刻在50英尺高的花崗岩上嗎?答案真的那麼簡單嗎?貢獻一生的目的難道終將一死之人想要獲得不朽名聲的自我鞭策的慾望?抑或是其他更偉大的事物?
今天活着的孩子明天就會死去。一個有可能成爲下一個愛因斯坦的嬰兒會死於出生併發症。生命的情形並不是固定不變的。我們並沒有註定都要活到老年。我們已經認識到，生命是一個週期，其時間長度是特定的。如果這些時間沒有被充分利用，那就是個悲劇，因爲人的潛能還未實現，因爲火花還沒形成火焰就被補滅。
由於存在於肉體之中，所以我們接受這些風險。我們使易朽的肉體服從周圍物理環境的法則。你仔細想一想就會發現，這種交易並不是那麼糟糕。當我們幻想生命應該如何時，問題就來了。當生命和我們的幻想不一致時，我們就變得煩惱，無奈或沮喪。
我們活着，那我們就要活得精彩;我們有能力體驗，那我們就要體驗人生甘苦;我們有能力學習，那我們就要在學海徜徉。生命的意義可以在一瞬間抓住-一個經常被我們忽略的短暫瞬間。
當生命戲劇般地一幕幕拉開時，其中隱含的意義是什麼?當我們周圍所有其他都似乎隨着時間而消逝時，我們能夠掌握哪個真理並依靠它來生活呢?
這些瞬間串聯在一起，我們稱之爲事件。這些事件串聯繫在一起，
我們稱之爲生活。當我們抓住那個瞬間並按照我們的意志來改變它-這意志受到我們內心深處的精神的驅使，我們就發現了生命的意義-這意義將在我們離開地球之後長久存在。
英語口語段落閱讀A Better Tomorrow
People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books,documents and records.
Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do werecord and save the actions of men, the negotiations of government officials and the eventsduring wars?
We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and times, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do andwhat not to do. If we are ever to create lasting peace, we must seek its origins in humanexperience and in the records of human history.
From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations ofyouth. History records the suffering, the self-denial, the devotion, and the heroic deeds ofpeople in the past. These records can help us when we are confused and when we really needpeace.
The main purpose of history is to create a better world. History gives a warning to those whopromote war,and inspiration to those who seek peace.
In short, history helps us learn. Yesterday’s records can keep us from repeating yesterday’smistakes. And from the pieces of mosaic assembled by historians come the great murals whichrepresent the progress ofmankind.
更好的明天
人們常常心存疑慮,爲什麼歷史學家要費盡周折地保存數以萬計的書籍、文獻和記錄。
我們爲什麼要有圖書館呢?這些文獻和史書有何用處呢? 我們爲什麼要記載並保存人類的行爲、政府官員的談判和戰爭中的事件呢?
我們這麼做的原因在於有時候經驗之音能促使我們停步、觀察和傾聽。也因爲有時候過去的記載經過正確地詮釋,能幫助我們決定何事可爲、何事不可爲。如果我們想要創造永久的和平,我們就必須從人類的經驗以及人類歷史的記載中去探索其淵源。
從體現男性和女性勇敢和奉獻精神的故事之中,我們獲得了青春的啓示。歷史記載着人類的一切苦難、克己、忠誠和英勇的事蹟。這些記載在我們困惑和渴望和平時能對我們有所幫助。
歷史的主要目的是創造一個更加美好的世界。歷史對那些力主戰爭的人給以警告,給予那些尋求和平的人以啓示。
簡而言之,歷史幫助我們學習。昨日的記載可以使我們避免重蹈覆轍。這些歷史學家們創作的像馬賽克一樣色彩繽紛的歷史片斷匯聚成了代表人類進步的偉大壁畫。
英語口語段落學習Napoleon declared, “Victory belongs to the most persevering.”Upon careful study we findperseverance depends upon three things - purpose,will, and enthusiasm. He who has apurpose is always concentrating his the will, the hope and the plan are preventedfrom evaporating into usiasm keeps the interest up, and makes the obstacles seemsmall.
Life is in a sense a battle. The man who thinks to get on by mere smartness and by idling meetsfailure everance is the master impulse of the firmest souls, and holds the key tothose treasure-houses of knowledge from which the world has drawn its wealth both of wisdomand of moral worth.
Great men never wait for opportunities; they make them. They seize upon whatever is at hand,work out their problem, and master the situation. The greatest thing a man can do in this worldis to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given to him. This is success andthere is no other.
One of the important lessons of life is to learn how to get victory out of defeat. It takescourage and stamina, when mortified by humiliating disaster, to seek in the ruins the elementsof future conquest. Yet this measures the difference between those who succeed and thosewho fail. We cannot measure a man by his failures. We must know what use he makes ofthem. The man who has not fought his way upward and does not bear the scar of desperateconflict does not know the highest meaning of success.
拿破崙宣稱，“勝利屬於堅持不懈的人”。經過仔細研究，我們會發現，堅持不懈取決子於三個方面——目標，意志和熱情。一個目標明確的人總是能夠集中他的精力。有了堅定的決心，就能夠避免希望和計劃在夢想中化爲泡影。而沖天的熱情,能夠讓人永遠興致勃勃，藐視一切艱難險阻。
從某種意義上講，生活是一場戰役。那種妄想憑藉小聰明閒混到出人頭地的人最終只會落得失敗的下場。堅持不懈是那些信念堅定的人主導性的精神動力，其把持着開啓那些知識寶庫的鑰匙，全世界的人都可以從中獲取智慧和道德的財富。
偉大的人們從不坐等機會;他們會自行創造。他們會抓住一切手邊的機會，解決遇到的難題，並且自己掌控局面。在這個世界上，一個人所能做的最偉大的事情就是，從給予他的有限的機會之中進行最大可能的發掘。這便是成功，僅此而已。
人生最重要的一課，便是學會如何從失敗之中邁向成功。身負失敗的屈辱和不幸，我們需要勇氣和毅力，在失敗的廢墟中尋找未來獲勝的要素。而這恰能衡量出成功者與失敗者的不同。我們不能用失敗來衡量一個人。我們必須瞭解他如何利用這些失敗。一個不思上進、沒有絕望掙扎的傷痕烙在心頭的人, 無法體會成功的最高意境。
