积极向上的英语文章:《Today I begin a new life》
Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the
bruises of failure and the wounds of mediority.
Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where
there is fruit for all.
Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and
fullest vines in the vineyard,for these were planted by the wisest
of my profession who have come before me,generation upon
generation.
Today I will savor the taste of grapes from these vines and
verily I will swallow the seed of success buried in each and new
life will sprout within me.
The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity yet it is
fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those who
have failed, were they piled one atop another, would cast a
shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth.
Yet I will not fail, as the others, for in my hands I now hold
the charts which will guide through perilous waters to shores
which only yesterday seemed but a dream.
Failure no longer will be my payment for struggle. Just as
nature made no provision for my body to tolerate pain neither
has it made any provision for my life to suffer failure. Failure, like
pain, is alien to my life. In the past I accepted it as I accepted pain.
Now I reject it and I am prepared for wisdom and principles which
will guide me out of the shadows into the sunlight of wealth, position, and happiness far beyond my most extravagant dreams
until even the golden apples in the Garden of Hesperides will
seem no more than my just reward.
Time teaches all things to him who lives forever but I have
not the luxury of eternity. Yet within my allotted time I must
practice the art of patience for nature acts never in haste. To
create the olive, king of all trees, a hundred years is required. An
onion plant is old in nine weeks. I have lived as an onion plant. It
has not pleased me. Now I wouldst become the greatest of olive
trees and, in truth, the greatest of salesman.
And how will this be accomplished? For I have neither the
knowledge nor the experience to achieve the greatness and
already I have stumbled in ignorance and fallen into pools of self-pity. The answer is simple. I will commence 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 men's 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
comparable to fashion; an action that proved successful today
will be unworkable and impractical tomorrow.
Only principles endure and these I now possess, for the laws
that will lead me to greatness are contained in the words of these
scrolls. What they will teach me is more to prevent failure than to
gain success, for what is success other than a state of mind?
Which two, among a thouand wise men, will define success in the same words; yet failure is always described but one way. Failure
is man's 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 become their
slave.
As a child I was slave to my impulses; now I am slave to my
habits, as are all grown men. I have surrendered my free will to
the years of accumulated habits and the past deeds of my life
have already marked out a path which threatens to imprison my
future. My actions are ruled by appetite, passion, prejudice, greed,
love, fear, environment, habit, and the worst of these tyrants is
habit. Therefore, if I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to
good habits. My bad habits must be destroyed and new furrows
prepared for good seed.
I will form good habits and become their slave.
And how will I accomplish this difficult feat? Through these
scrolls, it will be done, for each scroll contains a principle which
will drive a bad habit from my life and replace it with one which
will bring me closer to success. For it is another of nature's laws
that only a habit can subdue another habit. So, in order for these
written words to perform their chosen task, I must discipline
myself with the first of my new habits which is as follows:
I will read each scroll for thirty days in this prescribed manner,
before I proceed to the next scroll.
First, I will read the words in silence when I arise. Then, I will
read the words in silence after I have partaken of my midday meal.
Last, I will read the words again just before I retire at day's end, and most important, on this occasion I will read the words aloud.
On the next day I will repeat this procedure, and I will
continue in like manner for thirty days. Then, I will turn to the
next scroll and repeat this procedure for another thirty days. I will
continue in this manner until I have lived with each scroll for
thirty days and my reading has become habit.
And what will be accomplished with this habit? Herein lies
the hidden secret of all man's accomplishments. As I repeat the
words daily they will soon become a part of my active mind, but
more important, they will also seep into my other mind, that
mysterious source which never sleeps, which creates my dreams,
and often makes me act in ways I do not comprehend.
As the words of these scrolls are consumed by my mysterious
mind I will begin to awake, each morning, with a vitality I have
never known before. My vigor will increase, my enthusiasm will
rise, my desire to meet the world will overcome every fear I once
knew at sunrise, and I will be happier than I ever believed it
possible to be in this world of strife and sorrow.
Eventually I will find myself reacting to all situations which
confront me as I was commanded in the scrolls to react, and soon
these actions and reactions will become easy to perform, for any
act with practice becomes easy.
Thus a new and good habit is born, for when an act becomes
easy through constant repetiton it becomes a pleasure to
perform and if it is a pleasure to perform it is man's nature to
perform it often. When I perform it often it becomes a habit and
I become its slave and since it is a good habit this is my will.
Today I begin a new life.
And I make a solemn oath to myself that nothing will retard
my new life's growth. I will lose not a day from these readings for that day cannot be retrieved nor can I substitute another for it. I
must not , I will not, break this habit of daily reading from these
scrolls and, in truth, the few moments spent each day on this new
habit are but a small price to pay for the happiness and success
that will be mine.
As I read and re-read the words in the scrolls to follow, never
will I allow the brevity of each scroll nor the simplicity of its words
to cause me to treat the scroll's message lightly. Thousands of
grapes are pressed to fill one jar with wine, and the grapeskin
and pulp are tossed to the birds. So it is with these grapes of
wisdom from the ages. Much has been filtered and tossed to the
the pure truth lies distilled in the words to come. I will
drink as instructed and spill not a drop. And the seed of success
I will swallow.
Today my old skin has become as dust. I will walk tall among
men and they will know me not , for today I am a new man, with
a new life.

今天,我爬出满是失败创伤的老茧。
今天,我重新来到这个世上,我出生在葡萄园中,国内的葡萄任人享用。
今天,我要从最高最密的藤上摘下智慧的果实,这葡萄藤是好几代前的智者种下的。
今天,我要品尝葡萄的美味,还要吞下每一位成功的种子,让新生命在我心里萌牙。
我选择的道路充满机遇,也有辛酸与绝望.失败的同伴数不胜数,叠在一起,比金字塔还高。
然而,我不会像他们一样失败,因为我手中持有航海图,可以领我越过汹涌的大海,抵达梦中的彼岸.
失败不再是我奋斗的代价.它和痛苦都将从我的生命中消失。失败和我,就像水火一样,互不相容。我不再像过去一样接受它们。我要在智慧的指引下,走出失败的阴影,步入富足、健康
