Born to Win

Each human being is born as something new, something that never existed before. Each is born with the capacity to win at life. Each person has a unique way of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and thinking. Each has his or her own unique potentials1)---capabilities and limitations. Each can be a significant, thinking, aware, and creative being---a productive person, a winner.

The words “winner”and “loser”have many meanings．When we refer to a person as a winner，we do not mean one who makes someone else lose．To us, a winner is one who responds authentically by being credible, trustworthy, responsive, and genuine, both as an individual and as a member of a society.

Winners do not dedicate their lives to a concept of what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and as such do not use their energy putting on a performance, maintaining pretence and manipulating others. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind a mask.

Winners are not afraid to do his own thinking and use his own knowledge. He can separate facts from opinion and doesn't pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluates what they say, but comes to his own conclusions. Although winners can admire and respect other people, there is not totally defined, demolished2), bound, or awed by them.

Winners do not play “helpless”, nor do they play the blaming game. Instead, they assume responsibility for their own lives. They don’t give others a false authority over them. Winners are their others a false authority over them. Winners are their own bosses and know it.

A winner’s timing is right. Winners respond appropriately to the situation. Their responses are related to the message sent and preserve the significance, worth, well-being, and dignity of the people involved. Winners know that for everything there is a season and for every activity a time. Although winners can freely enjoy themselves, they can also postpone enjoyment, can discipline himself in the present to enhance his enjoyment in the future. A winner is not afraid to go after what he wants but does so in appropriate ways. Winners are not afraid to go after what he wants, but they do so in proper ways. Winners do not get their security by controlling others. They do not set themselves up to lose.

A winner cares about the world and its people. A winner is not isolated from the general problems of society, but is concerned, compassionate3) and committed to improving the quality of life. Even in the face of national and international adversity, a winner’s self-image is not one of a powerless individual. A winner works to make the world a better place.

生而为赢

人皆生而为新，为前所未有之存在，人皆生而为赢。人皆有其特立独行之方式去审视、聆听、触摸、品位及思考，因而都具备独特潜质——能力和局限。人皆能举足轻重，思虑明达，洞察秋毫，富有创意，成就功业。

“成者”与“败者”含义颇多。谈及成者我们并非指令他人失意之人。对我们而言，成者必为人守信，值得信赖，有求必应，态度诚恳，或为个人、或为社会一员皆能以真诚回应他人。

或者行事并不拘泥于某种信条，即便是他们认为应为之奉献一生的理念；而是本色行

事，所以并不把精力用来表演，保持伪装或操纵他人。他们明了爱与装爱、愚蠢与装傻、博学与卖弄之间迥然有别。成者无须藏于面具之后。

成者敢于利用所学，独立思考，区分事实与观点，且并不佯装通晓所有答案。他们倾听、权衡他人意见，但能得出自己的结论。尽管他们尊重、敬佩他人，但并不为他们所局限、所推翻、所束缚，也不对他人敬若神灵。

成者既不佯装“无助”，亦不抱怨他人。相反，他们对人生总是独担责任，也不以权威姿态凌驾他人之上。他们主宰自己，而且能意识到这点。

成者善于审时度势，随机应变。他们对所接受的信息做出回应，维护当事人的利益、康乐和尊严。成者深知成一事要看好时节，行一事要把握时机。

尽管成者可以自由享乐，但他更知如何推迟享乐，适时自律，以期将来乐趣更盛。成者并不忌惮追求所想，但取之有道，也并不靠控制他人而获取安然之感。他们总是使自己立于不败。

成者心忧天下，并不孤立于尘世弊病之外，而是置身事内，满腔热忱，致力于改善民生。即使面对民族、国家之危亡，成者亦非无力回天之个体。他总是努力令世界美好。

英语四级读美文【3】

Unit 3 Social Perspective社会视角 Text 1 Women and Fashion If women are mercilessly exploited year after year，they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear. Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened；necklines are lowered or raised, and so on. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth，comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day，or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes. When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide. [A] altering [B] fashion [C] tremble [D] constantly [E] contributes [F] durability [G] delicately [H] appearance [I] intentional [J] lengthened [K] mercilessly [L] reliability 女人与时尚如果女人年复一年被无情地利用，她们也只能埋怨她们自己。因为她们一想到在公共场合被看见穿着过时的衣服就会不寒而栗，所以她们就总是被设计师和大商场利用。因为时尚的改变，仅穿过几次的衣服不得不被搁置在一边。当你考虑这个问题的时候，不要忘了只有女人才会站在装满衣服的衣柜前伤心地宣布自己没有什么可穿的。时尚的改变仅仅是浪费的蓄意产物。许多女人每年花费很多钱去替换那些一点也不旧的衣服。那些负担不起像这样扔掉衣服的妇女将大量的时间浪费在去改变她们现有的衣服上。比如裙子被改长或改短，领口被改低或者改高等等。没有人能够声称时尚工业为社会做了什么真正重要的贡献。时装设计者很少关心像保暖、舒适和耐穿等重要的事情。他们只对外表感兴趣并且利用了这样一个事实，即只要看起来好看，女人能够忍受任何的不适。几乎所有的男人在他的一生中都有过这样的时候，在冬季的某一天，他笑看着一个女人穿着单薄的衣服在发抖，或者是穿着高跟鞋在厚厚的雪地里优雅而小心翼翼地行走。当在时尚问题上比较男人和女人时，得出的结论是显而易见的。你可能想知道，女人时装式样经常改变是否反映了反复无常和不稳定的基本品质?男人太聪明，因而不会让自己上时尚设计者的当。他们不变的服装风格是否反映了稳定和可靠的基本品质?这就要看你怎么想了。难句解析 1. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. 【分析】多重复合句。句首是由Because 引导的原因状语从句，在该从句中that 引导的定语从句修饰clothes。 2.

星火四级晨读英语美文100篇【励志感悟】第12篇 This I Believe By John D. Rockefeller I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and his right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation, every possession, a duty. I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people and not their master. I believe in the dignity of labor whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living. I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs. I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order. I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man’s word should be as good as his bond; that character - not wealth or power or position is of supreme worth. I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free. I believe in the all-wise and all-loving God; named by what ever name, and that individual’s highest fulfillment, greatest happiness and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with his will. 10. I believe that love is the greatest thing the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might. 翻译：洛克菲勒家族信条我信仰个人的价值至上，我信仰个人对生命，自由和追求幸福权利的价值无与伦比。我相信每一种权利皆包含一种责任；每一个机会皆包含一个义务；每一次拥有皆包含一份职责。我相信法律是为人所制定，而非人为法律所创造；我相信政府是人民的仆人，而非人民的主人。我信仰人因工作而高贵阳市，而不管是脑力和体力；我相信世界对人类之生存并不负有义务，它却给予人人谋生的机会。我相信节俭是理性生活之不可或缺，我相信无论是在政府内，还是在商务或个人事务中，节约在健全的财政架构中是最基本的需要。我相信真理与正义是维护社会秩序的基石。我相信诺言神圣，相信人当言而有信；我相信品德——而非财富，权力，地位---的价值无限。我相信乐善好施是人类共同之义务，我相信只有在奉献的纯净火焰中自私自利的渣滓才能毁灭，人类灵魂的伟大才得以自由展现。我信仰全能全知和博爱的上帝，不论如何冠其名，皆可以与上帝意志和谐的生活中发现一个人的最大的满足，最大的幸福和最广泛的价值体现。我相信爱是人世间最伟大之物；相信惟有爱能战胜仇恨；相信正义必将战胜强权力量。

God has equipped you for life, but he lets you decide what you want to be.

大学英语四级作文范文2 11. It Pays to Be Honest 1.当前社会上存在许多不诚实的现象 2.诚实利人利己，做人应该诚实 It Pays to Be Honest Nowadays people are troubled with mass of dishonest behaviors in society. Teachers get annoyed when they catch students cheating on exams; consumers get hurt when they unfortunately buy some fake products; children are misled when they see their parents tell lies so as to evade the responsibility they should take. Why do people cheat? The main reason probably lies in immediate interest they may obtain by cheating. For example, a company, which manufactures fake products, may seem to win for a moment because it can minimize its manufacture cost by doing so. This kind of businesses, however, will be driven out of the market in the long run. For the consumers after getting to know the poor quality of the products will not buy them anymore. The same is true of individuals. Dishonest people dare not take on the responsibility of life. They cheat in class, in office, at home and so on. But the truth can hardly be masked. The moment the truth comes out they will lose their credibility, which is easier to destroy than to rebuild. Consequently, these dishonest will suffer a long time because of their

[00:13.52]I can enjoy society in a room; [00:16.91]but out of doors, nature is company enough for me. [00:21.94]I am then never less alone than when alone. [00:26.55]“The fields his study, nature was his book.” [00:30.81]I cannot see the wit of walking and talking at the same time. [00:36.39]When I am in the country I wish to vegetate like the country.

the town and all that is in it. [00:52.04]There are those who for this purpose go to watering places, [00:57.06]and carry the metropolis with them. [00:59.81]I like more space and fewer obstacles.

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

星火英语四级美文听力3篇 Exercise A state of physical and mental health allows you to take part in exercise fortably and enjoyably so that it doesn’t hurt, so that you can look forward to it, and feel good afterwards. If you are feeling down, exercise may help pick you up. Although researchersdisagree on this issue , one review of past studies found that long-term exercise, especially when it includes long-lasting, strenuous training sessions, has about as much of an effect on depression as psychotherapy. Working out helps you deal with stress in your job, relationships or any area of life —possibly because exercise is a form of stress itself and helps condition your body to deal with it.When Australian researchers pared people who did 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week to those who practiced progressive relaxation techniques, they found that the former group responded better to acute stress and had lower blood pressure. Even a little exercise can make you think less

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。
