青春勵志英語美文閱讀篇一
“不可能”就是“可能”
When Henry ford decided to produce his famous v-8 motor, he chose to build an engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block, and instructed his engineers to produce a design in one for the engine. The design was placed on paper, but the engineers agreed, to a man, that it was simply impossible to cast an eight-cylinder engine-block in one piece.
Ford said, “Produce it anyway.”
“But,” they replied, “It’s impossible!”
“Go ahead.” Ford commanded, “And stay on the job until you succeed, no matter how much time is required.”
The engineers went ahead. There was nothing else for them to do, if they were to remain on the ford staff. Six months passed and nothing happened. Another six months passed, and still nothing happened. The engineers tried every conceivable plan to carry out the orders, but the thing seemed out of the question:“impossible!”
At the end of the year ford checked with his engineers, and again they informed him they had found no way to carry out his orders.
“go right head,” said ford, “I want it, and I’ll have it.”
They went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke of magic, the secret was discovered.
The ford determination had won once more!
This story may not be described with minute accuracy, but the sum and substance of it is correct. Deduce from it, you who wish to think and grow rich, the secret of the ford millions, if you can. You’ll not have to look very far.
Henry ford was successful, because he understood and applied the principles of success. One of these is desire: knowing out the lines in which the secret of his stupendous achievement have been described. If you can do this, if you can lay your finger on the particular group of principles which made Henry ford rich, you can equal his achievements in almost any calling for which you are suited.
亨利福特在要制造有名的v8汽缸引擎汽車時，曾指示他手下的工程師著手設(shè)計一種引擎，要把八個汽缸全放在一起。設(shè)計的紙上作業(yè)完成了，但是工程師們都異口同聲地跟福特說，“要把八個汽缸全放在一起，壓根是不可能。”
福特說：“無論如何都要做出來。”
他們又回答：“但是，那不可能啊!”
“動手做。”福特一聲令下， “不論花多少時間，做到交差為止!”
工程師只得著手去做。如果他們還想呆在福特的公司里討生活，就別無他途可行，值得去做。過了半年，沒有動靜。又過了半年，一樣沒有半點(diǎn)進(jìn)展。工程師們試過了所有想得出來的計劃去執(zhí)行命令，結(jié)果仍然是：“不可能!”
過了一年，福特的工程師們都沒有進(jìn)展，他們再次告訴他，他們想不出有什么辦法可以做到的指示。
“繼續(xù)做，”福特說。“我要八汽缸引擎，就一定要做到!”
他們繼續(xù)努力，然后仿佛如有神助似的，做法出籠了。
福特的決心又打贏了一仗。
這個故事也許說的不夠詳盡，但是故事的內(nèi)容卻都是“如假包換”的。要想致富的你，從這個故事可以推算出福特百萬家財?shù)拿孛芎卧?。?wù)須舍近求遠(yuǎn)，就在眼前。
亨利福特了解成功的原則，也運(yùn)用了這些原則，所以他成功了。這些原則中，有一項就是渴望：知道自己要做的是什么。閱讀這篇文章時，請牢記這則福特的故事，時時在字里行間尋找他了不起的原因。只要你能做到，能正確無誤地指認(rèn)出福特所運(yùn)用的原則，就幾乎可以在適合自己的任何行業(yè)里，和他一樣地出類拔萃。

Spare No Efforts in Doing Things
Concentration and perseverance built the great pyramids on Egypt's plains .
The matter of a single trade can sppuort a family.The master of seven trades cannot support himself.
Now I know that in order to grow and flourish I must spare no efforts in doing things and keep a little in advance of the times . Those who reach the top are the ones who are not content with doing only what are required of them .They do more.They go extra mile ,And another.
I will Spare No Efforts In Doing Things.
Now I knowthat I cannot pursue a worthy goal,steadily and persistently ,with all the powers of my mind and yet fail . If I focus the rays of sun with a burning glass , even in the coldest days of winter.I can kindle a fire with ease.
I will Spare No Efforts In Doing Things.
The weakest living creature , by concentrating his powers on a single object can accomplish good results while the strongest ,by dispersing his effort over many chores,may fail to accomplish anything.Drops of water ,by continually falling,hone their passage through the hardest of rocks but the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar and leaves notrace behind.I will leave my trace.The world will know I have been here.
I will Spare No Efforts In Doing Things
青春勵志英語美文閱讀篇三
Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said，that "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my "luck" as it comes.
Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out: If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don't want to do—just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit，and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself.
Just for today I will have a program, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.
Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.
Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful，and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
參考譯文：
就為了今天
就為了今天，我將盡力只度過今天而不立刻去解決終身的問題。對一件令我沮喪而又必須堅持一輩子的事，我只能堅持十二個小時。
就為了今天，我會很快樂。亞伯拉罕-林肯說過，“大多數(shù)人都是決定想怎么高興就怎么高興。”這已經(jīng)被認(rèn)為是真理。
就為了今天，我會做自我調(diào)整適應(yīng)事物本來的面目，而不是想方設(shè)法使每一件事滿足自己的欲望。當(dāng)機(jī)會來臨的時候我會抓住它。
就為了今天，我會盡力心強(qiáng)志堅。我會學(xué)習(xí)，學(xué)一些有用的東西。我不會做一個精神上的流浪漢。我會讀一些需要努力、思考和注意力集中的東西。
就為了今天，我會用三種方法來磨煉我的靈魂。我會做對某人有利的事但不能被發(fā)現(xiàn)，若有人發(fā)現(xiàn)了就不算數(shù)。我將會做至少兩件我不愿做的事情——只為了磨練。我不會讓任何人感到我的感情受到了傷害：它們可能受到了傷害，但今天我不想表現(xiàn)出來。
就為了今天，我會過得很愜意。看起來我達(dá)到了最佳狀態(tài)，穿著得體、講話謙虛、行為禮貌、一點(diǎn)不吹毛求疵，盡量改進(jìn)和調(diào)節(jié)自己而不是別人。
就為了今天，我會制定一個計劃，我也許不會嚴(yán)格地遵守它，但我一定要有計劃。我會避免兩種錯誤：倉促行事和優(yōu)柔寡斷。
就為了今天，我將會獨(dú)自靜靜地呆上半小時放松。在這半小時里，某個時刻，我會日后對我的生活有個更好的看法。
就為了今天，我將不再害怕。尤其我不會再害怕享受美麗的事物，并且相信我給予世界的，世界也會給予我。
