　　英語勵志文章——夢想總有成真時

　　The first day of school our professor introduced a little old lady to us。

　　"Why are you in college at such a young age?" I asked later。 She jokingly replied， " I'm here to meet a rich husband， get married， have a couple of children， and then retire and travel。"

　　"No seriously，" I asked。 I was curious what may have motivatedher to be taking on this challenge at her age。 "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me。

　　We became instant friends。 Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and tolk nonstop。 I was always listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me。

　　At the end of the semester we invited Rose to make a speech to our football team。 I'll never forget what she taught us。 As she began to deliverher prepared speech， she dropped her note card on the floor。 A little embarrassed she simply said， "I'm sorry。 This whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know。" As we laughed she cleared her throat and began:" We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing。 There are only four secrets to staying young， being happy， and achieving success。 You have to laugh and find humor every day。 You've got to have a dream。 When you lose your dreams， you die。 We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it!

　　英語勵志文章——逆境

　　There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I can not perfect myself without hardship.　　Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment may present……to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.　　Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.
