英语专业晨读美文-励志篇 5 Advise Proposed By Alber

[00:00.29]Advise Proposed by Albert Einstein

[00:05.70]Every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life

[00:10.41]are based on the labors of other men, living and dead,

[00:13.78]and that I must exert myself in order to give

[00:16.39]in the same measure as I have received

[00:18.72]and am still receiving.—Albert Einstein

[00:21.60]Albert Einstein was an amazing physicist.

[00:25.10]He figured out so many universal principles and equations

[00:29.27]that he was way ahead of his fellow scientists

[00:31.52]at any point of time.

[00:33.01]But he is also remembered for another thing,

[00:35.97]a quality which made people call him a genius:

[00:39.45]his words. Prof. Einstein was a philosopher

[00:42.73]who clearly understood the laws of success

[00:45.29]and explained them like the way he did with his equations.

[00:48.55]Here is a list of 10 things out of

[00:51.26]the numerously wonderful things he had said;

[00:53.54]10 golden lessons that you can put to use in your everyday life. [00:57.75]1. A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new. [01:02.87]Most people don't try new things because of their fear of failure. [01:07.37]Failing is not something to be afraid of.

[01:09.98]It is often the losers

[01:11.65]who learn more about winning than the winners.

[01:14.16]Our mistakes always give us opportunities to learn and grow. [01:18.45]2. Education is what remains after one has forgotten

[01:22.93]what one has learned in school.

[01:24.36]30 years from now, you won't possibly remember

[01:27.48]what chapters you had in your science book;

[01:29.72]you'd only remember what you learn on your way.

[01:32.34]Life lessons stay with you forever.

[01:34.33]Real education starts from within.

[01:36.87]3. I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. [01:41.83]Imagination is more important than knowledge.

[01:44.88] Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.

[01:49.23]When you reflect on how far we humans have come from

[01:52.45]the prehistoric caves to mind-blowing technological advancements, [01:56.26]you would feel the power of imagination.

[01:59.03]What we have now was built from the imagination of our forefathers. [02:03.70]What we will have in future will be built from our imaginat ion. [02:07.97]4. The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources. [02:14.08]Creativity and uniqueness often depends on

[02:16.97]how well you hide your sources.

[02:19.42] Y ou can get inspired and influenced by other great people;

[02:22.80] but when you are on stage with the whole world watching, [02:25.91] you must become a unique,

[02:27.75]individual force that learnt different values from different people. [02:31.21]5. The value of a man should be seen in what he gives

[02:35.57]and not in what he is able to receive.

[02:38.70]Try not to become a man of success,

[02:41.21]but rather try to become a man of value.

[02:44.97]If you think of all the top people in the world,

[02:48.42]they would have added something of value to the world.

[02:51.12]Y ou must give in order to take.

[02:53.22]When your purpose is contributing or adding value to the world, [02:56.64]you will be elevated to a higher level of living.

[02:59.60]6. There are two ways to live:

[03:02.84]you can live as if nothing is a miracle;

[03:05.76]you can live as if everything is a miracle.

[03:08.81]When nothing is a miracle,

[03:11.12]you gain the power of doing anything you want

[03:13.92]and you have no limits. And when everything is a miracle,

[03:17.56]you stop by to appreciate even the smallest of

[03:20.61]beautiful things in the world.

[03:22.66]Thinking both ways will give you a productive and happy life. [03:27.06]7. When I examine myself and my methods of thought,

[03:31.89]I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy

[03:34.96]has meant more to me than any talent for abstract, positive thinking. [03:39.69]Dreaming about all the great things

[03:42.62]that you can achieve is the key to a life filled with positivity. [03:46.24]Let your imagination run amuck and create the world

[03:49.53]that you would wish to be in.

[03:51.08]8. In order to be an immaculate member of a flock of sheep, [03:55.36]one must above all be a sheep oneself.

[03:57.94]If you want to become a very successful entrepreneur,

[04:01.40]you must start a business right away.

[04:03.59]Wishing to become one, but fearing the consequences will not help. [04:08.17] The same applies to everything—in order to win a game,

[04:11.56] one must above all play the game.

[04:13.29]9. Y ou have to learn the rules of the game.

[04:16.75]And then you have to play better than anyone else.

[04:19.71]Learn the rules of your game and start playing it best.

[04:22.90]Keep competing like your life depended on it.

[04:25.64]And after a while you will have no one else

[04:28.47]but you to compete against. At that point, better your best.

[04:32.34]10. The important thing is not to stop questioning.

[04:36.30] Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

[04:39.12]Intelligent people ask. Keep questioning yourself

[04:43.13]and others to find solutions.

[04:44.83]This will help gain knowledge and analyze your growth [04:48.02]in all walks of life.

The bridal of the earth and sky- 天地间完美的匹配----- The dew shall weep thy fall to-night; 今宵的露珠儿将为你的消逝而落泪; For thou must die. 因为你必须离去。 Sweet rose,whose hue angry and brave, 美丽的玫瑰,色泽红润艳丽, Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye, 令匆匆而过的人拭目而视,Thy root is ever in its grave, 你的根永远扎在坟墓里, And thou must die. 而你必须消逝。 Sweet spring,full of sweet days and roses, 美妙的春天,充满了美好的日子和芳香的玫瑰, A box where sweets compacted lie, 如一支芬芳满溢的盒子, My music shows ye have your closes, 我的音乐表明你们也有终止, And all must die, 万物都得消逝。 Only a sweet and virtuous soul, 唯有美好而正直的心灵, Like season'd timber,never gives; 犹如干燥备用的木料,永

You have got all that the great have had: two arms, two legs, two hands, two eyes, and a brain to use if you'd be wise. With this equipment they all began, so start for the top and say" I can". Look them over the wise and the great. They take their food from a common plate. With similar knives and forks they use; with similar laces they tie their shoes. The world considers them brave and smart, but you know--- you have got all they had when they made their start. You can triumph and come to skill; you can be great if you only will. You are well equipped for the fight you choose you have arms and legs and brains to use. And people who have risen, great deeds to do started their lives with no more than you. You are the handicap you must face. You are the one who must choose your place. You must say where you want to go, and how much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but he lets you decide what you want to be.

星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第7篇 Excuses Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter. People say they'd like to do this or that,but...then they offer all the excuses in the world why they can't do whatever it is.No matter what the excuses are,the only thing usually limiting them is their own self-perception. If I've learned anyhing,I've learned a person--any person--can do just about anything they set their mind to.The only thing they need is a willingness to work for what you want,patience to learn what you need to know,and just a little bit of belief in yourself,but you only need a seed.Your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward. If you self-perception is that you can't accompilsh somthing because you're not smart enough,then take the time to learn what you need to know and your self-perception will change. If your self-perception is that you can't accompilsh something because you never finsh anything you start,then go finsh something and change your self-perception. If your self-perception is that you're too lazy,too bust,too unworthy,too unfocused,too depressed,too dependent on others,the you're right.You are that because you believe that,but you can change that! Life is change,and the past doesn't equal the future.Your today is the result of your past beliefs and actions.Change your beliefs and action and you change your future.If you think you can or you can't,you're right.You are what you think. Think about that the next time you need an excuse. 翻译: 借口 有些人站在“借口”这一柜台后虚度一生。 有人说,自己想做这个,想做那个,但是······于是便给出他们所能找到的各种借口,来解释自己为什么不能去做这些事。无论借口是什么,大概唯一能限制他们行动的只是他们的自我意识。 如果说我学到了什么,那就是我意识到一个人——任何人——都可以做他决定想做的一切。你唯一需要的是:为理想而努力的意志,学习所需知识的耐心和一点点自信。其实最需要的只是自信的一粒小小的种籽。自信会随着你的进步而增强。如果你自以为不够聪明而无法成功,那就花时间去学习你所需要的知识,这样你的自我感觉就会改变。 如果你认为自己太懒惰,太忙碌,太无足轻重,太不专心,太消沉,太依赖别人,太这样太那样而不能成大器,那么你是对的。你相信如此,便会如此。但你能改变一切。 生活无时无刻不在变化,过去不等于将来。你的现在是你过去的信念与行动的结果。改变信念和行动就会改变你的未来。你认为自己能或不能,你都是对的。你就是你所认为的样子。 下次需要找借口时,请好好想想

晨读英语美文100篇 Passage1. Knowledge and Virtue Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another; good sense is not conscience, refinement is not humility, nor is largeness and justness of view faith. Philosophy, however enlightened, however profound, gives no command over the passions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles. Liberal Education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but the gentleman. It is well to be a gentleman, it is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind, a noble and courteous bearing in the conduct of life—these are the connatural qualities of a large knowledge;they are the objects of a University.I am advocating, I shall illustrate and insist upon them;but still, I repeat, they are no guarantee for sanctity or even for conscientiousness,and they may attach to the man of the world, to the profligate,to the heartless, pleasant, alas, and attractive as he shows when decked out in them.Taken by themselves, they do but seem to be what they are not;they look like virtue at a distance, but they are detected by close observers, and in the long run;and hence it is that they are popularly accused of pretense and hypocrisy,not, I repeat, from

英语专业晨读美文励志篇:Feed Your Mind

英语专业晨读美文励志篇:Feed Your Mind [00:04.52]Feed Your Mind [00:06.60]Since the prehistoric times, man has had an urge to satisfy his needs. [00:13.60] Be it hunger, shelter or search for a mate, [00:17.31] he has always manipulated the circumstances to the best of his advantages. [00:22.23]Probably this might be the reason [00:24.53]why we human are the most developed of all living species on the earth, [00:28.79]and probably also in the universe. [00:31.53]As we climbed the steps of evolution with giant leaps, [00:35.36]we somehow left behind common sense and logical thinking— [00:39.29]we forgot that we have stopped thinking ahead of times. [00:42.57]If you are hungry, what do you do? Grab

a piece of your favorite meal [00:47.72] and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, even your mind is hungry. [00:53.07]But it never lets you know, [00:54.93]because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover, [00:58.22] favorite star and many such absurd things. [01:01.49]So it silently began to heed to your needs and never let itself grow. [01:06.42] When mind looses its freedom to grow, creativity gets a full stop. [01:12.10] This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, [01:16.80]”Why can’t I think?”, “Why am I always given the difficult problems?” [01:21.40]Well this is the aftermath of our own karma [01:25.22]of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things. [01:28.72]Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading.

A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and

星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第17篇

星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第17篇 The Power of Beauty One of the most successful, influential and beloved women in American history, Eleanor Roosevelt once said that she had one regret: she wished she had been prettier. Who hasn’t felt the same way? We are all too aware of our physical imperfections. To overcome them, we spend billions upon billions of dollars every year on cosmetics, diet products, fashion, and plastic surgery. Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune, beauty exerts its power over us. There is simply no escape. Aristotle said, “Beauty is a greater recommendation than any letter of introduction.” It’s not fair, but it’s true. We simply treat beautiful people better than we do others. Attach a photograph of a beautiful author to an essay, and people will think that is more creative and more intelligently written than exactly the same essay accompanied by the photo of a homely author. Our sensitivity to physical beauty is not something we can control at will. We are born with it. Experiments conducted by psychologist Judith J. Langlois showed that even small infants prefer to look at attractive faces. Before they have met a single supermodel, before they have watched a single TV show, before they have opened up a single fashion magazine, they are drawn to the same faces which adults have judged to be attractive. There are more important things in life than beauty. But as Etcoff says, “We have to understand beauty, or we will always be enslaved by it.” If you aim to be wise and kind and funny, it doesn’t mean that you can’t also try your best to look beautiful. There’s no reason to feel guilty about being moved by beauty’s power. It moves us all. 翻译: 美的力量 身为美国史上最成功、最有影响力且最受人喜爱的女性之一的罗斯福夫人曾说她有一个遗憾:她希望自己长得更漂亮。谁没有过同样的想法呢?我们都强烈感觉到自己身体的缺陷。为了克服缺陷,我们每年都要花费几十亿美元--在化妆品、减肥食品、流行时尚与整容手术上。 我们如此这么在意自己的外貌?因为它很重要。因为美的力量很大。因为即使我们学着基本上去看重仁慈、智能、风趣的人,但我们仍会受到美的感动。无论我们多么用力辩驳,或假装对它免疫,美仍然对我们产生影响。根本无法逃避。 亚里斯多德说:“美是比任何介绍信都要有用的推荐函。”这并不公平,但却是事实。我们就是会对美丽的人比较好。把一位美丽作家的照片贴在作品上,读者就会认为这篇文章较有创意,写得更有智能。完全相同的文章配上相貌平凡的作家照片,评价就会较低。 我们对外在美的敏感,不是可以控制自如的。我们天生就这么敏感。心理学家朱迪丝蓝洛斯的实验显示,就连小婴儿也喜欢看漂亮的脸。他们从来没有见过超级名模、没看过电视节目,也没翻开过时尚杂志,却已经受到大人也认为有魅力的脸庞所吸引。 人生中有比美丽更重要的事,但就如艾特考夫所说:“我们必须了解美,否则我们永远都会是它的奴隶。”如果你的目标是要聪明、仁慈又风趣,这并不代表你就不能尽力让自己变得漂亮。被美的力量感动,并不需要有罪恶感,因为所有的人都受它感动。

Situation Comedy A sitcom or situation comedy is a genre of comedy performance originally devised for radio but today typically found on televi sion. Sitcoms usually consist of r ecurring characters in a format in whi ch there are one or more humorous story lines centred on a common environment, such as a family home or workplace.The situation comedy format seems to have originated in the old time radio era of the United States, but today they are produced around the globe. Many cou ntries, such as Britain, have embraced the form and so sitcoms have become among the most popular programmes on the schedule.history,The situation comedy format originated on radio in the 1920s. The first situation comedy is often said to be Sam and Henry which debuted on t he Chicago, Illinois clear-channel station WGN in 1926, and was partially inspired by the notion of bringing the mix of humor and continuity found in comic strips to the young medium of radio. The first network situation comedy was Amos & Andy which debuted on CBS in 1928, and was one of the most popular sitcoms through the 1930s.Situation comedies have been a part of the landscape of broadcast television since its early days. The first was probably Mary Kay and Johnny, a fifteen minute sitcom which debuted on the DuMont Television Network in November of 1947.This type of entertainment seemed to originate in the United States, which continues to be a leading producer of the genre, but soon spread to other natio ns.Characteristics Traditionally, situation comedies were largely self-contained, in that the characters themselves remained largely static and events in the sitcom resolved themselves by the conclusion of the show. One example of this is the animated situation comedy The Simpsons, where the characteristics of animation has rendered the characters unchanging in appearance forever?although the characters in the show ha ve sometimes made knowing references to this. Other sitcoms, though, use greater or lesser elements of ongoing storyli nes: Friends, a hugely popular US sitcom of the 1990s, contains soap opera elements such as regularly resorting to an end-of-season cliffhanger, and has gradually developed the relationships of the characters. Other sitcoms have veered into s ocial commentary. Examples of these are sitcoms by Norman Lear including All in the Family and Maude in the US, and the controversial Till Death Us Do Part in Britain. Most contemporary situation comedies are filmed with a multicamera setup in front of a live audience, then edited and broadcast days or weeks later. This practice has not always been universal, however, especially prior to the 1970s when it became
