　　英語勵志文章——小手指獲勝大鐵錘

　　The world no。1 salesman was asked to share his secret of success upon his retirement。 2，500 salesmen came to listen to his speech。 He set a very big iron ball and a big hammer on the stage。

　　世界第一名的推銷員在他退休時理解邀請，分享他的成功秘訣。2500名業(yè)務(wù)員來聽他的演講。他在講臺上放置了一個很大很大的鐵球和一�a href='/t/4422.html' target='_blank'>煙 ?浮�/p>

　　Then he asked， “Who can move this iron ball?” one person in the audience said， “I want to try?！?He went on the stage and knocked at the big iron ball once。 It didn’t budge。 Then came more men。 The iron ball still didn’t move。

　　這時他開始發(fā)問:“誰能夠把這個鐵球移動?”臺下有一個人說:“我來試一下”那個人上臺用大鐵錘朝這打鐵球猛敲一下，打鐵球紋絲不動，然后陸續(xù)上來幾個人，鐵球仍然沒有動。

　　At this time the speaker said， “Now I teach you the secret?！?He then poked the iron ball every 5 seconds by his pinkie no matter how the audience reacted。 The iron ball began to move a little after 40miutes。 But the iron ball swung fiercely after 50 minutes。

　　這時，世界第一名的推銷員說“此刻就讓我來告訴你們秘密在哪，之后他就拿他的小指頭對這這個鐵球戳了一下，每過5秒又對著鐵球戳一下，不管臺下反應(yīng)如何，40分鐘后，鐵球稍微移動了一點點，50分鐘后鐵球就開始劇烈晃動。

　　He then asked， “Who can stop the iron ball on the stage?” the people down the stage all said it couldn’t be done。 The world no。1 salesman said， “This is my secret of success。 I visit customers everyday until they give in。 you see they just can’t block me when I succeed?！?/p>

　　他之后問:“誰能夠上臺來把這個鐵球停住?”臺下的人說這根本辦不到。世界第一名 的推銷員說:“這就是我成功的秘訣。我每次都拜訪顧客，直到他們屈服并理解。你看此刻當我成功時，連擋都擋不住?！?/p>

　　英語勵志文章——找尋自己

　　Who are we? That is the first question. It’s a question that’s almost impossible to answer.

　　我們到底是誰?這是我們要解答的第一個問題，是一個幾乎回答不了的問題

　　But we all agree that one’s busy or daily self is not quite one’s real self. We’re quite sure that we’ve lost something in the course of just making our living.。

　　但是我們都同意這一點，那個每天在日常生活中奔忙的自己，并不是我們真實的自己。我們都很清楚，我們在為生計奔波的過程中失去了某些東西。

　　Acrowd is watching a person running about looking for something in a field, and a wise man asks, “What has that person lost?” Someone may guess a watch, another a diamond ring. When everyone has guessed, the wise man who like everyone else there has no idea, says, “I’ll tell you one thing for sure. He’s lost some breath.”

　　當一群人看著一個人在田野中奔跑著尋找某個東西時，智者向他們出了一個謎題:“那個人到底丟失了什么?”有個人認為是一塊手表，另一個人認為是一枚鉆石戒指。其他人也有不同的答案，智者也不知道那個人丟失了什么，但他卻說:“我可以明確地告訴你們一件事，他丟失了一些生命力。”

　　And no one can deny that he’s right. The point is that we often forget our true selves in pursuit of things that are external1 to us, like a bird forgetting its own danger in pursuit of a mantis, which in turn forgets its own danger in pursuit of some other prey.

　　沒有人認為智者所言是錯的。其實我們經(jīng)常在為生計奔波時忘記了我們自己，就像一只鳥在捕捉螳螂時忘記了自己的安危，相應(yīng)地，螳螂在捕捉它的獵物時也忘記了自己的安危。
