一、THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE<br/>　　Robert H. Schuller<br/>　　Failure doesn?t mean you are a failure, <br/>　　It does mean you haven?t succeeded yet.<br/>　　Failure doesn?t mean you have accomplished nothing,<br/>　　It does mean you have learned something.<br/>　　Failure doesn?t mean you have been a fool,<br/>　　It does mean you had a lot of faith.<br/>　　Failure doesn?t mean you?ve been disgraced,<br/>　　It does mean you were willing to try.<br/>　　Failure doesn?t mean you don?t have it,<br/>　　It does mean you have to do something in a different way.<br/>　　Failure doesn?t mean you are inferior,<br/>　　It does mean you are not perfect.<br/>　　Failure doesn?t mean you?ve wasted your life,<br/>　　It does mean you have a reason to start afresh.<br/>　　Failure doesn?t mean you should give up,<br/>　　It does mean you must try harder.<br/>　　Failure doesn?t mean you?ll never make it,<br/>　　It does mean it will take a little longer.<br/>　　Failure doesn?t mean God has abandoned you,<br/>　　It does mean God has a better idea.<br/>　　<br/>　　十大策略?失败的意义<br/>　　罗伯特·H·舒勒陈采霞译<br/>　　<br/>　　失败并不代表你是个失败者，<br/>　　它只表明你尚未成功。<br/>　　失败并不代表你一无所获，<br/>　　它只表明你吸取了一次教训。<br/>　　失败并不代表你很愚蠢，<br/>　　它只表明你信心百倍。<br/>　　失败并不代表你无脸见人，<br/>　　它只表明你百折不回。<br/>　　失败并不代表你工夫白费，<br/>　　它只表明你的做事方法尚待改进。<br/>　　失败并不代表你低人一等。<br/>　　它只表明你并非完人。<br/>　　失败并不代表你浪费生命，<br/>　　它只表明你有理由重新开始。<br/>　　失败并不代表你应该放弃，<br/>　　它只表明你要加倍努力。<br/>　　失败并不代表成功永不属于你，<br/>　　它只表明你要付出更多的时间。<br/>　　失败并不代表上帝已经抛弃你，<br/>　　它只表明上帝还有更好的主意。<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　二、FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE<br/>　　Neil Simon<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　Don?t listen to those who say,<br/>　　“It?s not done that way.”<br/>　　Maybe it?s not, but maybe you will.<br/>　　Don?t listen to those who say,<br/>　　“You?re taking too big a chance.”<br/>　　Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor,<br/>　　and it would surely be rubbed out by today.<br/>　　Most importantly, don?t listen<br/>　　When the little voice of fear inside of you <br/>　　rear its ugly head and says,<br/>　　“They?re all smarter than you out there.<br/>　　They?re more talented,<br/>　　They?re taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connections...”<br/>　　I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you,<br/>　　Not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others,<br/>　　But with the strength of conviction<br/>　　That you can move others by your own efforts,<br/>　　And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live,<br/>　　The chances are you?ll be a person worthy of your own respect.<br/>　　<br/>　　走自己的路<br/>　　尼尔·西蒙陈采霞译<br/>　　<br/>　　别听那些人的话，<br/>　　“这事不能那么做。”<br/>　　也许是不能那么做，可是也许你就会那么做。<br/>　　别听那些人的话，<br/>　　“你这个险冒得太大了。”<br/>　　米开朗琪罗可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作过画，<br/>　　到今天肯定已经被抹掉了。<br/>　　最重要的是，<br/>　　当你心中恐惧的声音，<br/>　　抬起它丑陋的头说，<br/>　　“那边那些人都比你聪明，<br/>　　他们更有才华，<br/>　　他们更高大、皮肤更白、更漂亮、更幸运，<br/>　　并且认识各种各样的人…”<br/>　　你可千万别理会。<br/>　　我坚信只要选择一条你感兴趣的路，<br/>　　不排除爱情、敏锐以及与别人的合作，<br/>　　而是坚定地认为，<br/>　　通过你自身的努力能够感动他人，<br/>　　不把成功或者失败作为你生活的标准，<br/>　　那么你就可能成为值得自己敬佩的人。<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　三、FAITH<br/>　　Napolean Hill<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　Faith is the “eternal elixir”<br/>　　Which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!<br/>　　Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches!<br/>　　Faith is the basis of all “miracles”,<br/>　　And all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science!<br/>　　Faith is the only known antidote for failure!<br/>　　Faith is the element, the “chemical” which,<br/>　　When mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.<br/>　　Faith is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought, created by the finite mind of man, into the spiritual equivalent.<br/>　　Faith is the only agency through which <br/>　　the cosmic force of Infinite<br/>　　Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.<br/>　　<br/>　　信念<br/>　　拿破仑·希尔陈采霞译<br/>　　<br/>　　信念是“永恒的万应灵药”，<br/>　　它赋予突发奇想以生命、力量和行动！<br/>　　信念是所有财富积累的起点！<br/>　　信念是一切“奇迹”<br/>　　以及所有科学法则无法分析的奥秘的根基！<br/>　　信念是惟一已知失败之解药！<br/>　　信念是重要元素、“化学物质”，<br/>　　一旦与祈祷结合便会使你与上帝直接沟通。<br/>　　人类的智慧固然有限，<br/>　　普通的灵感闪现一经信念指点，<br/>　　便会转换成精神震撼。<br/>　　信念是惟一的中介，通过它<br/>　　上帝的宇宙力会成为人类开发和利用的资源。<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　四、ON CHANGES<br/>　　Irene Dunlap<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　Change is the only absolute<br/>　　in the world,<br/>　　the only thing<br/>　　that you can depend on.<br/>　　Nothing stays the same.<br/>　　Tomorrow will come,<br/>　　bringing with it<br/>　　new beginnings and sometimes<br/>　　unexpected endings.<br/>　　You can hold on to the past<br/>　　and get left in the dust;<br/>　　or, you can choose to<br/>　　jump on the ride of life<br/>　　and live a new adventure<br/>　　with perseverance<br/>　　and an open mind.<br/>　　<br/>　　论变化<br/>　　艾琳·邓莱普陈采霞译<br/>　　<br/>　　变化是世界上<br/>　　惟一绝对的东西，<br/>　　是惟一<br/>　　你能相信的事情。<br/>　　没有什么能一成不变，<br/>　　明天将来临，<br/>　　它会带来<br/>　　新的开始，并且有时<br/>　　还会带来意想不到的结局。<br/>　　你可以抓住过去，<br/>　　蒙受遗弃；<br/>　　或者，你可以选择<br/>　　跃上生命之车<br/>　　进行一次新的冒险，<br/>　　凭借坚持不懈<br/>　　和广阔的胸怀。<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　五、RESULTS AND ROSES<br/>　　Edgar Albert Guest<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　The man who wants a garden fair,<br/>　　Or small or very big,<br/>　　With flowers growing here and there,<br/>　　Must bend his back and dig.<br/>　　<br/>　　The things are mighty few on earth,<br/>　　That wishes can attain,<br/>　　Whatever we want of any worth,<br/>　　We?ve got to work to gain.<br/>　　<br/>　　It matters not what goal you seek,<br/>　　Its secret here reposes:<br/>　　You?ve got to dig from week to week,<br/>　　To get results or roses.<br/>　　<br/>　　硕果和玫瑰<br/>　　埃德加·阿尔贝特·格斯特陈采霞译<br/>　　<br/>　　要想有个美丽花园，<br/>　　面积大小姑且不管，<br/>　　只要园中长满鲜花，<br/>　　就必须把汗水挥洒。<br/>　　<br/>　　有愿望就能实现，<br/>　　这样的事还真是少见，只要想要的东西有价值，<br/>　　就得靠努力去创造。<br/>　　<br/>　　目标是什么并不重要，<br/>　　秘诀终归只有一条：<br/>　　周复一周不怕劳累，<br/>　　才能收获硕果或者玫瑰。<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　六、THE

ROAD NOT TAKEN<br/>　　Robert Frost<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,<br/>　　And sorry I could not travel both<br/>　　And be one traveler, long I stood<br/>　　And looked down one as far as I could<br/>　　To where it bent in the undergrowth;<br/>　　<br/>　　Then took the other, as just as fair,<br/>　　And having perhaps the better claim,<br/>　　Because it was grassy and wanted wear;<br/>　　Though as for that the passing there<br/>　　Had worn them really about the same,<br/>　　<br/>　　And both that morning equally lay<br/>　　In leaves no step had trodden black.<br/>　　Oh, I kept the first for another day!<br/>　　Yet knowing how way leads on to way,<br/>　　I doubted if I should ever come back.<br/>　　<br/>　　I shall be telling this with a sigh<br/>　　Somewhere ages and ages hence:<br/>　　Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?<br/>　　I took the one less traveled by,<br/>　　And that has made all the difference.<br/>　　<br/>　　没有走过的路<br/>　　罗伯特·弗罗斯特陈采霞译<br/>　　<br/>　　金色的树林路分两条，<br/>　　遗憾不能两条都到。<br/>　　孤独的我长久亻宁立，<br/>　　极日眺望其中一条，<br/>　　直到它在灌丛中淹没掉。<br/>　　<br/>　　然后我公平地选择了另外一条，<br/>　　或许理由更加充分，<br/>　　因为它草深需要有人上去走走。<br/>　　说到有多少人从上面走过<br/>　　两条路磨损得还真是差不多。<br/>　　<br/>　　而且那天早晨两条路都静静地躺着，<br/>　　覆盖在上面的树叶都没有被踩黑，<br/>　　噢，我把第一条路留给了下一次！<br/>　　但我知道前方的路变幻莫测，<br/>　　我怀疑我是否应该回来……<br/>　　<br/>　　多年以后在某个地方，<br/>　　我将叹息着讲述这件事：<br/>　　树林里路分两条，而我——<br/>　　选择了行人较少的那条，<br/>　　就这样一切便发生了改变。<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　十、WHAT IS SUCCESS<br/>　　Ralph Waldo Emerson<br/>　　<br/>　　<br/>　　What is success?<br/>　　To laugh often and love much;<br/>　　To win the respect of intelligent people<br/>　　And the affection of children;<br/>　　To earn the approbation of honest critics<br/>　　And endure the betrayal of false friends;<br/>　　To appreciate beauty;<br/>　　To find the best in others;<br/>　　To give one?s self;<br/>　　To leave the world a little better, <br/>　　Whether by a healthy child,<br/>　　A garden patch,<br/>　　Or a redeemed social condition;<br/>　　To have played and laughed with
