1 Born to Win

生而成功

You cannot teach a man anything,

You can only help him discover it within himself.

---Galileo

任何事都不能由别人教会,

而只能在别人的帮助下自己去发现。

---伽利略
Each human being is born as something unique, something that never existed before. Each person is born with what he needs to win at life. A normal person can see, hear, touch, taste, and think for himself. Each has his own unique potentials---his capabilities and limitations. Each can be an important, thinking, aware, and creatively productive person in his own right---a winner.

每个人生来都是一个独一无二的个体,在此之前他从未存在过。每个人生来都具备在人生舞台上成功所必备的潜质。一个正常的人都具有视觉、听觉、味觉和触觉,都能够思考。每个人都有独特的潜质,即他的能力与不足,并且每个人都能凭借自己的能力成为赢家,一个举足轻重、敏于思考、明于事理,富有创造力的成功者。

The words “winner” and “loser” have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean one who defeats the other person by dominating and making him lose. Instead a winner is one who responds genuinely by being trustworthy and responsive, both as an individual and as a member of a society. A loser is one who fails to respond genuinely.

“成功者”和“失败者”两词有很多层意思。当我们说一个人成功时,并不是说他通过支配别人打败了他们。相反,成功者值得信赖,反应敏捷,不管是作为个体还是社会一员,他都能够真诚处事。失败者做不到这一点。

Few people are winners or losers all the time. It’s a matter of degree. However, once a person has the capacity to be a winner, his chances are greater for becoming even more so.

很少有人永远成功或失败,因为成功或失败是个程度问题。尽管如此,只要一个人具备了赢者所需要的能力,他成功的可能性就会更大。

Achievement is not the most important thing for winners; genuineness is. The genuine person realizes his own uniqueness and appreciates the uniqueness of others. 更多信息请访问:/

对于成功者来说,最重要的不是成就,而是真诚。一个真诚的人能够意识到自己的独特性,也欣赏别人的独特之处。

A winner is not afraid to do his own thinking and to use his own knowledge. He can separate facts from opinion and doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluates what they say, but comes to his own conclusions.

成功者不会畏惧独立思考,施展自己的知识才华。他甄别主观意见和客观事实,不会装作什么都懂。他聆听他人,权衡他们的话,却得到自己的结论。

A winner is flexible. He does not have to respond in known, rigid ways. He can change his pla
ns when the situation calls for it. A winner has a love for life. He enjoys work, play, food, other people, and the world of nature. Without guilt he enjoys his own accomplishments. Without envy he enjoys the accomplishments of others.

成功者灵活变通。他不会通过现有的、死板的方式行事,而会根据外界的需要改变自己的计划。成功者热爱生活。他乐于工作,喜欢游玩,享受美食,欣赏他人和自然带来的乐趣。他享受自己的成就心安理得,欣赏别人的成就毫不嫉妒。

A winner cares about the world and its people. He is not separated from the general problems of society. He tries to improve the quality of life. Even in the face of national and international difficulty, he does not see himself as helpless. He does what he can to make the world a better place.

成功者关心这个世界及其人民,与社会诸多普遍问题息息相关。他尽力提高自己的生活水平,即使面对国内或国际困难,他也不会认为自己无能为力。他会尽其所能让世界变得更加美好。

Although people are born to win, they are also born totally dependent on their environment. Winners successfully make the change from dependence to independence, losers do not. Somewhere along the line losers begin to avoid becoming independent. This usually begins in childhood. Poor nutrition, cruelty, unhappy relationships, disease, continuing disappointments, and inadequate physical care are among the many experiences that contribute to making people losers.

虽然人们生而成功,但同时生来也要完全依赖于外部环境。成功者顺利地完成了从依赖到独立的转变,失败者没有。在人生的某个阶段,一般在童年时期,失败者开始逃避独立。导致人们失败的原因很多,其中包括营养不良、家庭暴力、人际关系不好、疾病、接二连三的失败、所受照顾不足等。

A loser is held back by his low capacity to appropriately express himself through a full range of possible behavior. He may be unaware of other choices for his life if the path he chooses goes nowhere. He is afraid to try new things. He repeats not only his own mistakes and often repeats those of his family and culture.

失败者不善于通过一系列可能的行为表达自己,这阻碍了他的成功。如果选择的人生之路不通,他可能意识不到还有其他选择。他害怕尝试新事物,不仅会重复自己的错误,还会重复家人或所属文化群体的错误。

A loser has difficulty giving and receiving love. He does not enter into close, honest, direct relationships with others. Instead, he tries to manipulate them into living up to his expectations and channels his energies into living up to their expectations.

失败者不善于爱别人,也不善于接受他人的爱。他不能与他人密切、真诚、直接地交往,相反,他试图让别人按照自己的期
望生活,也努力是自己按照别人的期望生活。


1 Happiness

Many people think that when they become rich and successful,happiness will naturally me tell you that nothing is further from the world is full of very rich peoplewho are as miserable as if they were living in have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from clearly, money is not the only answer to all obtained through dishonest means does not bring y winnings do not bring winnings do not bring my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work,There is no use sayingin your contribution towards others’ happinessand in your wealth you have earned through your own honest you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means,you will know that it is ill earned you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others,you will not be happy with will think you are a base -term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self-ess is not an end; it is a is a continuous process of honest, productive workwhich makes a real contribution to othersand makes you feel you are a useful, worthy Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”“Some day when I achieve these goals,when I get a car, build a house and own my own business,then I will be really happy.”Life just does not work that you wait for certain things to happenand depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy,you will always feel will always be something missing.

2 The English Character

To other Europeans, the best known quality of the British,and in particular of the English, is “reserved”.A reserved person is one who does not talk very much to strangers,does not show much emotion, and seldom gets is difficult to get to know a reserved person:he never tells you anything about himself,and you may work with him for years without ever knowing where he lives,how many children he has, and what his interests h people tend to be like y related to English reserve is English their hearts, the English are perhaps no less conceited than anybody else,but in their relations with others they value at least a show of -praise is felt to be a person is, let us say,very good at tennis and someone asks him if he is a good player,he will seldom reply “Yes,”because people will think him will probably give an answer like,“I’m not bad,” or “I think I’m very good,” or “Well, I’m very keen on tennis.”Even if he had managed to reach the finals in last year’s local championships,he would say it in such a way as to suggest that it was only due to a piece of good reserve and modesty are part of his own nat
ure,the typical English tends to expect them in secretly looks down on more excitable nations,and likes to think of himself as more reliable than they doesn’t trust big promises and open shows of feelings,especially if they are expressed in flowery doesn’t trust self-praise of any applies not only to what other people may tell him about themselves orally,but to the letters they may write to those who are fond of flowery expressions,the Englishman may appear uncomfortably cold.

3 Passage 3 Exercise
A state of physical and mental health allows you to take part in exercise comfortably and enjoyably so that it doesn’t hurt, so that you can look forward to it, and feel good afterwards. If you are feeling down, exercise may help pick you up. Although researchers disagree on this issue, one review of past studies found that long-term exercise, especially when it includes long-lasting, strenuous training sessions, has about as much of an effect on depression as psychotherapy.

Working out helps you deal with stress in your job, relationships or any area of life —possibly because exercise is a form of stress itself and helps condition your body to deal with Australian researchers compared people who did 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week to those who practiced progressive relaxation techniques, they found that the former group responded better to acute stress and had lower blood pressure. Even a little exercise can make you think less anxiously. Studies have shown that any amount of exercise, from a brisk10 minute walk to an intense aerobics or weightlifting session seems to decrease feelings of anxiety.

Working out regularly may make you smarter now and lessen the possibility that you’ll lose brain function as you age. According to a recent animal study at the University of Illinois, exercise can actually help the brain develop new cells. In several studies, regular weight training or aerobic exercise was shown to improve the quality and duration of sleep. Naturally, this can make you less fatigued and be able to function better during the day. Like meditation, hobbies or any other leisure activity, exercise gives your mind a needed break from everyday thoughts, responsibilities and commitments. Finally, there’s one more reason to keep exercising. When you work out regularly, your body simply functions better you are better, healthier and less likely to suffer painful physical conditions. And that just plain feels good.

5All Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten…
Most of what I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be,
I learned in kindergarten.
Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate mountain,
but there in the sandbox at nursery school.
These are the things I learned:
Share everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don’t take things that
aren’t yours.
Say you’re sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life.
Learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world, watch for traffic, hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.
Remember the little seed in the plastic cup?
The roots go down and the plant goes up and nobody really knows how or why,
but we are all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice and even the little seed in the plastic cup —
they all die. So do we.
And then remember the book about Dick and Jane and the first word you learned, the biggest word of all:
Look. Everything you need to know is in there somewhere.
The Golden Rule and love and basic sanitation. Ecology and politics and sane living.
Think of what a better world it would be if we all —
the whole world — had cookies and milk about 3 o’clock every afternoon
and then lay down with our blankets for a nap.
Or if we had a basic policy in our nations
to always put things back where we found them and cleaned up our own messes.
And it is still true, no matter how old you are,
when you go out into the world, it is better to hold hands and stick together.

6Passage 6 Come as You Are
Come as you are; do not loiter over your toilet.
If your braided hair has loosened,if the parting of your hair be not straight, if the ribbons be not fastened, do not mind.
Come as you are; do not loiter over your toilet. Come, with quick steps over the grass. If the red come from your feet because of the dew,if the rings of bells upon your feet slacken, if pearls drop out of your chain, do not mind. Come, with quick steps over the you see the clouds wrapping the sky? Flocks of cranes fly up from the further riverbank. The anxious cattle run to their stalls in the village.
Do you see the clouds wrapping the sky? Come as you are; do not loiter over your toilet. Let your work be. Listen, the guest has come. Do you hear, he is gently shaking the chain which fastens the door? See that your anklets make no loud noise, and that your step is not over-hurried at meeting him.
Let your work be, the guest has come in the evening. It is the full moon on a night of April; shadows are pale in the court yard; the sky overhead is bright. Draw your veil over your face if you must, carry the lamp in the door if you fear.
Have no word with him if you are shy; stand aside by the door when you meet him. If he asks you questions, and if you wish to, you can lower your eyes in silence. Do not let your bracelets jingle when, lamp in hand, you lead him in. Have you not finished your work yet? Listen, the guest has come.

7An Irish Wedding
Have you ever been to an Irish wedding? I have just returned from one. It is a quarter to five in the morning; the sun has already climbed above the horizon;the birds are
busy celebrating the new day and have eagerly been in search of food.
But some of the guests have not yet left. They are still prolonging the night: dancing, singing, gossiping, and postponing the unfortunate necessity of undertaking a day’s work in the fields after a sleepless night.
The evening party was to start at ten o’clock, but many of the guests arrived earlier. A few of the nearer male relatives were looking rather awkward in evening suits with smart bow ties, and the pleasant, unsophisticated countrywomen
appeared a little self-conscious in their Sunday best. Two men squeezing accordions provided the music: the old Irish tunes that have been played at weddings for many years.
Half the people in the room were dancing the square dances which have been enjoyed even longer. A score of men stood in the narrow dark hall leaning against the wall, drinking beer from bottles and speculating about crops, cattle and the current political situation. And whenever the dancing stopped, somebody would start singing one of the sentimental, treasured Irish songs: the exile longing for his home, the grief-stricken lover mourning his fate. Sometimes we all joined in the chorus, sadly and solemnly, before getting up to dance again.
Irish weddings are almost certain to have been celebrated in this way for generations. I have been to wedding receptions
where champagne has been served to the accompaniment of soft unnoticed orchestral music; I have listened to carefully prepared speeches and eyed a little enviously the model gowns of women far more elegant than I could ever hope to be.
I have been impressed, and a little bored. I have just been sitting up all night in a small, uncomfortable Irish cottage and I have been enjoying every moment of it.

8Challenges of School
Life is full of challenges. School has to be the most challenging obstacle in the lives of youth today. Elementary school brings about a few challenges characteristic of those years spent there. There’s the challenge of coloring in the lines, a very real problem to any youngster. Or how about the challenge of remembering to raise one’s hand before one speaks?
There are hundreds of rules and regulations that govern these young children. The one thing that keeps these children in line is the hope of reward. Yes, this is the brass ring. The reward for a clean desk is an extra five minutes of recess!
The prize for having all homework done, a shiny-new pencil topper! These small wonders keep small people in line.
They make the children love challenge. Middle school is not so easy. It is not easy for the students, and it also isn’t easy for the challenge of staying out of trouble, or writing that research paper —these are the new confrontations of an older, wiser group. This clan has outgrown the recess and pencil-topper tricks. They know that their efforts have to bring them something really useful, so mom and pop are pulled onto the scene. How does five, ten d
ollars for each “A” sound? Or, how about no telephone if one doesn’t do good in school? Need I say more? By the time high school arrives, a student’s place in academic excellence or else their unlikelihood to even graduate has been established. Little can be done now to make life’s challenges seem interesting, especially where school comes in. The slothful are rewarded with a nice job at a gas station, a pregnant girlfriend, and a fifteen-year-old Ford. The diligent are rewarded with an SAT score of over 1100, acceptance into Yale University, and a ticket to life. By meeting the challenges of school, sticking it out, and pulling through, they are given their greatest reward: success.

9Passage 9 Building Bridges
When you hear the phrase cultural heritage, what comes to mind? Maybe you remember going to see ethnic folk dances with people wearing traditional costumes. Perhaps you were exposed to the music and arts of this culture.
Most likely, however, what comes to mind will be the food. It might begin with the recollection of your mother’s cooking, or visiting grandma’s house and receiving a special treat as a reward for good behavior. As you close your eyes, can you picture your favorite dish? Is it a salad with a special dressing, or a scrumptious dessert? Can you smell the aroma wafting through the house? Maybe you’re far away from home and eating your favorite soul food makes you feel closer to those you’re separated from.
Many of us have missed spending a holiday or two with our loved ones, only to find ourselves calling to ask what they had for dinner. It doesn’t matter if it’s the same thing that is served year after year. There’s nothing like food to help us identify with our roots. These recipes, cherished family favorites, handed down from each generation to the next might undergo subtle changes, but there still remains a cable of unity.
It is this unity which constructs the bridge between families and generations. Food can be described as the building blocks of this cultural bridge. Good food knows no boundaries. It becomes the great equalizer between young and old.
Here, in the kitchen the old master works hand in hand with younger family members and friends, passing on traditional skills used in the culinary arts.
However, more is taking place than a mere transfer of information about ingredients and mixing instructions. Magic moments are created between child and elder. It becomes an opportunity for a parent to teach family values while passing the sugar and beating the eggs. Confidences can be exchanged along with the natural flow of conversation.

10Struggling in America
The United States of America is often seen as a nation in which the pursuit of happiness is not a dream but a reality.
The sad truth is that although portrayed as an unusually easy life, life in America is as much of a struggle as in any other nation. For example, higher level education for Americans does not come easy. Althou
gh there are scholarships, grants and loans available, if the student fails to meet the criteria he is left with only personal resources to draw from.
This takes him into a life with not only a school schedule to follow but perhaps, also, a work schedule and family life.
These are often the difficulties that are not portrayed through the TV and movies. These are also the difficulties which many believe they will not encounter by attending an American college. In the second place, there is financial security.
Many times what is portrayed of life in America is a life where “money is no object”.
The fallacy in this is that each person has their own personal struggle and money is an object for the majority of the people, in spite of the comparatively higher wages available, the cost of living is also higher. Even though it may seem like one is making more money, just as much is spent in surviving.
Thirdly is the belief that in the American way of life everyone has a good job. With the increasing advancements in technology, a well-paying job for those currently in the work force is getting harder to find. Those who have not been exposed to computers and other new methods of communication are finding this to be true. As it stands now, the job market is requiring at least a two-year degree from college, in order to make enough to live comfortably. Even then well-paid jobs are not easy to find, as it is sometimes believed because of the portrayal of life in America
