同学们在写励志青春的新概念作文时，难免会找不到头绪，那么励志青春的新概念作文都有哪些可以参考呢?一起来看看吧。
励志青春的新概念作文：青春的挥洒
理想总比想象距离要远，所以理想是让人实现人生的舞台，无论这段路有多么的艰辛，告诉自己世界没有免费午餐。只要付出过努力和汗水，挥发自己的青春，就算付出和收获不成比例，我也无怨无悔，因为理想是人生的导航，没有理想，世界将没有星光。
高考将来临，多次考试的失败，让自己低落心情从没间断过，但自己却无力的挣扎。看到自己的分数就想到以后的路有多难走，再不努力读书，那么自己必须去社会实践，就发觉老师的苦心，为什么严格要求自己，因为外面世界就是人才市场，老师说过，我教你的东西未必在社会可以学会致用，但是它是一张上大学的门票，没有文凭你将什么都没有，那么你只能靠自己双手去挣辛苦钱，每天工作10小时，反复工作，你还记得你当初的理想吗?你还担心三餐问题吗?只要努力这100天，考到理想大学，那么你的人生就升值了，你出来实践的机会也大了。所以参加高考去改变自己的人生，一间学校学到东西并不大，但学会做人的道理却很多，学而懂礼。无论外面的风多大，雨多猛，坚持自己的目标，因为从小有轻度自闭症，但是15岁那年才懂得幽默才可以化解人和人之间的距离，才可以冲破人和人之间的芥蒂。所以用欢乐给别人带来美好的回忆。我想当一位演员，就想周星驰一样，带给人欢乐，但是这只是自己的一厢情愿，临近高考65天，给自己一声加油，无论失败与成功，我
付出过的汗水和努力，一定会实现到我的人生目标，我的语文老师李铭声讲过，求学不是求分数，读书不读死书，学而活用，一定要坚持自己理想，才走得远，站得高。
无论将来上线或者不上线，我也无怨无悔，因为我的青春无限，学习只是人生的一部分，但学做人是人生当中活用的必须品，加油升大的同学，无论成功和失败，这是人生必须经过的历程，没有失败，不知道自己想要的东西，得来不易，要好好的珍惜。高考我输给你了吗?答案没有。因为我还有青春。青春才能挥洒我的人生!
励志青春的新概念作文：青春
青春是四月里明媚的忧伤。
——题记
小王子一直在苦苦追寻一朵玫瑰花，而最后，他找到了，转身却发现，有一座玫瑰园，小王子坐在地上，哭了起来。
也许，这就是我们的青春，我们为了自己的学习，为了父母老师的“殷切”期盼，为了我们所谓的清华北大，苦苦地，日日夜夜地学习，然后到头来，我回顾青春，多少人明媚而欢快的青春啊，而我，却什么也看不见。
我站在一座空旷的、被黑灰充斥的天地间，呼啸的风不断地撞击着我的耳膜，想要把我的胸膛撞碎，拼了命的歇斯底里。于是，我也哭了，我蹲在地上拣拾青春的碎片，却只看到，一滩握不住的沙。
我看到以前一样爱听摇滚的小四，在高三的时候扔掉了它所有的摇滚CD，而他却开不了口对和他一样听摇滚的死党说，他妥协了，因为他高三了。
我看到站在艺术学院门口驻足的表姐眼里的憧憬和忧伤，她叹息着，忧郁而又坚韧地移开了注满铅的双腿，我看到她背着的装满复习资料的沉重书包里的妥协，残忍而血腥，只因艺术学院的孩子没有出路。
我看到进入大学的哥哥，一点一点地开始变得世俗、堕落，我看到他沉迷于网游，我看到他浑浊的双眼里呆滞的妥协，因为大学一点点麻木掉了我们的感觉，一点点磨合掉了我们的棱角，一点点流逝掉了我们那么美好的青春。
然后，我看到他们也蹲在地上，一点一滴地抓青春散在地上的沙，直到抱头痛哭。
有人说，这就是属于你们的青春，试卷漫天飞的青春，是四月里明媚的忧伤。
呵，原来我的青春不只有空白，它还有它的试卷和分数，以及对我成绩的种种论述，原来我的青春不只是黑灰一片，它还有它的的鲜红。
灼人的红。
我厌恶并憎恨这红。它让我的青春更加明媚而忧伤，多少次我被它刺伤了眼、落了泪。
然后，青春就被啪嗒啪嗒的水珠打碎了，碎成了一地的沙，一盘会从掌心指缝间流走的沙，我的青春!
我的青春啊，是四月里明媚的忧伤，是掌心间消逝掉的沙，我苦苦寻觅，苦苦寻觅到最后，我蹲下来，抱头痛哭。
励志青春的新概念作文：致青春
每个人都有青春，青春有太多太多的点滴。哭过、笑过、疯狂过、坚持过、也梦想过。
青春中的人都有过叛逆的心理，我们中学生也不例外。叛逆的我们应该都做过同样的事：喝酒，抽烟，染红发，早恋写满厚厚的情书，穿奇装异服，上可爱接话茬让老师难堪，以和老师作对为乐。
但是你不知道，其实这是在浪费青春。青春是终将逝去的。青春是终将失去的。那为什么不为我们的青春做点有用的事呢?等悼念老是再拿来细细品味定有另一番滋味。
我们的青春没有谁不会犯错。
其实犯错也没什么，最重要的是要及时改正才对，那些叛逆期的女孩其实说她坏，她也
不坏。其实那些坏是那个女孩最本真的一面，当她走过青春叛逆期，她依旧可以变成温顺、乖巧、美好的样子。因此，在我的眼里每一个孩子都是天使，哪怕是一个人人都不喜欢的坏孩子。
青春的选择也是很重要的，就像在火车路上行驶。选择的车票不同，就代表她的人生过得不同，选错了车票，也没什么，是可以改的。你可以转车在到达目的地。就像要学会转弯一样。
所有不珍惜青春的人都会在年老时叹气。我想叹气又有什么用呢?都怪自己当初没有做对的事。没有后悔药卖的。
我决定了，为了不让自己有什么恶果，有什么后悔。我愿为我的青春闯一闯，为我的梦想拼一拼。因为追梦是每个年轻人应有的权利。
我们的青春尽管说出口那么的骄傲，那么的嚣张。可它本应该是这样的，因为我们疯狂过、坚持过、也执着过。最后怎么过都看你有没有梦想过。青春是终将逝去的、终将失去的。为自己做一切有用的事，为我生命中的青春做一份努力。还有一句话“做自己所喜欢的事，为自己而活的精彩。”
我为了我而珍惜青春。
致我生命中终将逝去的青春于珍惜，致我生命中终将失去的青春于努力。
哭过、笑过、疯狂过、坚持过、也梦想过、执着过。最后还是会失去过。

标题：布什：我眼中的美国[名人名言]
President Bush delivers his preference for US-style values at Tsinghua University, but emphasizes Washington's hope for better relations with Beijing.
President Bush, perhaps taking a leaf from<注1> his wife's gift for teaching, delivered a primer<注2> on the America he knows to Chinese university students, telling them that "in a free society, diversity is not disorder. Debate is not strife, and dissent is not revolution."
Speaking before an audience of 240 Tsinghua University students in the school's main auditorium,<注3> the president said, "Life in America shows that liberty, paired with<注4> law, is not to be feared....A free society trusts its citizens to seek greatness in themselves and their country."
At the end of his remarks, the president fielded<注5> questions for 20 minutes with the young audience, clearly enjoying the exchange. When one young woman asked why he wouldn't like his daughters, Jenna and Barbara, to come to China and attend this historic university, Bush told them: "I'm afraid they don't listen to me anymore, if you know what I mean." He said the Chinese youngsters certainly have an amazing country and he thought his daughters should visit it.
The president told the students he was speaking on the 30th anniversary of President Richard Nixon's trip to China that changed the two countries' relationship. Nixon's visit was a trip designed to "end decades of estrangement and confront centuries of suspicion."<注6> During the years since, "America and China have exchanged many handshakes of friendship and commerce.""In fact, Americans feel a special responsibility for the poor and the weak. Our government spends billions of dollars to provide health care and food and housing for those who cannot help themselves ... Many of our citizens contribute their own money and time to help those in need. "
Bush said his "country certainly has its share of problems and faults. Like most nations, we're on a long journey toward achieving our own ideals of equality and justice. Yet there is a reason our nation shines as a beacon<注7> of hope and opportunity, a reason many throughout the world dream of coming to America."We are a free nation, where men and women have the opportunity to achieve their dreams. No matter your background or circumstance of birth, in America you can get a good education, start a business, raise a family, worship freely and help elect the leaders of your community and country. You can support the policies of our government, or you are free to openly disagree with them. Those who fear freedom sometimes argue it could lead to chaos, but it does not, because freedom means more than every man for himself."
Bush told the students: "We are a nation of laws. Our courts are honest and independent. The president can't tell the courts how to rule and neither can any other member of the executive or legislative branch.<注8> Under our law, everyone stands equal. No one is above the law, and no one is beneath it.
"All political power in America is limited and temporary, and only given by a free vote of the people.<注9> We have a Constitution, now two centuries old, which limits and balances the powers of the three branches of our government: judicial, legislative and executive."
第三篇： 欣赏励志英语美文
今天小编带你看一篇文章，这是《哈利波特》的作者j.k罗琳在哈佛大学的演讲稿节选片段，让我们来一起分享大作家的风采，这段话她在回忆过去的经历，伤感而又励志，深刻而有意义，让我们对生活有了更深层次的理解，值得我们去深思! 励志英语美文，接下来，让我们一起品味吧!
i would like to make it clear, in parenthesis, that i do not blame my parents for their point of view. there is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you. what is more, i cannot criticise my parents for hoping that i would never experience poverty. they had been poor themselves, and i have since been poor, and i quite agree with them that it is not an ennobling experience. poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes
depression; it means a thousand petty humiliations and hardships. climbing out of poverty by your own efforts, that is indeed something on which to pride yourself, but poverty itself is romanticised only by fools.
我想澄清一下：我不会因为父母的观点，而责怪他们。埋怨父母给你指错方向是有一个时间段的。当你成长到可以控制自我方向的时候，你就要自己承担责任了。尤其是，我不会因为父母希望我不要过穷日子，而责怪他们。他们一直很贫穷，我后来也一度很穷，所以我很理解他们。贫穷并不是一种高贵的经历，它带来恐惧、压力、有时还有绝望，它意味着许许多多的羞辱和艰辛。靠自己的努力摆脱贫穷，确实可以引以自豪，但贫穷本身只有对傻瓜而言才是浪漫的。

第四篇：英语背诵(名著片段,英语美文)
1、Pride and Prejudice VolumeⅠ
chapter1 It is a truth universally acknowledgedthat a single man inpossession of a good fortune,must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a manmay be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so wellfixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he isconsidered as the rightful property of some one or other of theirdaughters. ‘My dear Mr. Bennet,’ said his lady to him one day, ‘have youheard that Netherfield Park is let at last?’
Mr. Bennet replied that he had not. ‘But it is,’ returned she; ‘for Mrs. Long has just been here, andshe told me all about it.’
Mr. Bennet made no answer. ‘Do not you want to know who has taken it?’ cried his wifeimpatiently. ‘You want to tell me, and I have no objection to hearing it.’ This was invitation enough. ‘Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfieldis taken by a young man of large fortune from the north ofEngland; that he came down on Monday to seethe place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed withMr. Morris immediatelyand some of his servants are to be in the house by theend of next week.”
2、Pride and Prejudice VolumeⅢ
chapter17 “My dear Lizzy, where can you have been walking to?”was a question which Elizabeth received from Janeas soon as she entered their room,and from all theothers when they sat down to table. She had only to say in reply,that they had wandered about, till she was beyond her ownknowledge. She colored as she spoke; but neither that, nor anything else, awakened a suspicion of the truth. The evening
passed
quietly,
unmarked talked
by and
anything laughed, extraordinary.The acknowledged lovers theunacknowledged were silent. Darcy was not of a disposition inwhich happiness overflows in mirth; and Elizabeth, agitated andconfused, rather knew that she was happy, than felt herself to beso; for, besides the immediate embarrassment, there were otherevils before her. She anticipated what would be felt in the familywhen her situation became known; she was aware that no oneliked him but Jane; and even feared that with the others it was adislike which not all his fortune and consequence might do away.
3、The little prince discovers a garden of roses "Good morning," he said.He was standing beforea garden, all abloomwithroses. "Good morning," said theroses. The little prince gazed atthem. They all looked like hisflower."Who are you?" hedemanded, thunderstruck. "We are roses," the roses said. And he was overcome with sadness. His flower had told him that she was the onlyone of her kind in all the universe. And here were five thousand of them, all alike, in onesingle garden! "She would be very much annoyed," he said to himself, "if she should see that... shewould cough most dreadfully, and she would pretend that she was dying, to avoid beinglaughed at. And I should be obliged to pretend that I was nursing her back to lifeforif Idid not do that, to humble myself also, she would really allow herself to die..." Then he went on with hisreflections: "I thought that Iwas rich, with a flower thatwas unique in all the world;and all I had was a commonrose. A common rose, andthree volcanoes that come upto my kneesandone ofthem perhaps extinct forever...that doesn’t make me a verygreat prince..." And he lay down in the grass and cried.
4、The little prince consoles the narrator "All men have the stars," he answered, "but they are not the same things for differentpeople. For some, who are travelers, the stars are guides. For others they are no morethan little lights in the sky. For others, who are scholars, they are problems. For mybusinessman they were wealth. But all these stars are silent. You, youalone, willhavethe stars as no one else has them" "What are you trying to say?" "In one of the stars I shall be living. In one of them I shall be laughing. And so it willbe as if all the stars were laughing, when you look at the sky at night... you, onlyyou, willhave stars that can laugh!" And he laughed again. "And when your sorrow is comforted (time soothes all sorrows), you will be contentthat you have known me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh with me.And you will sometimes open your window, so, for that pleasure... and your friends willbe properly astonished to see you laughing as you look up at the sky! Then you will sayto them, ‘Yes, the stars always make me laugh!’ And they will think you are crazy. It will bea very shabby trick that I shall have played on you..."
5、Three Days to See All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time tolive. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always wewere interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his lasthours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphereof activities is strictly delimited. Such stories set up thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances.What associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings? What happiness shouldwe find in reviewing the past, what regrets? Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should dietomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each daywith a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretchesbefore us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come.
6、Youth Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
7、A reason, season, or lifetime People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need youhave expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. Sometimes they die. What we must realize is that our need has been met, their work is done, and now it is time to move on. When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy, but only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
第五篇：英语美文
Jaguar is an endangered animal. It is said that there are less than 20 jaguars in the world currently, one of which is now living in the national zoo of Peru. In order to protect this jaguar, Peruvians singled out a pitch of land in the zoo for it, where there are herds of cattle, sheep and deer for the jaguar to eat. Anyone who has visited the zoo
美洲虎是一种濒临灭绝的动物,据说,现在世界上尚存不足20只,其中有一只生活在秘鲁的国家动物园里。为了保护这只美洲虎,秘鲁人在动物园里单独圈出一块地,让它自由生存,圈地中有成群的牛、羊、鹿供老虎享用。参观过虎园的人都说这是“虎的天堂”。然而奇怪的是,没人看见这只老虎去捕捉牛羊,唯一见到的情景就是它躺在空洞的虎房里吃了睡、睡了吃。
Some people thought that the jaguar felt too lonely, so they collected money and rented a female tiger to accompany it. Nonetheless, it did not make too much sense. The jaguar just sometimes went out of its house with its “girlfriend”and stayed in the sun for a while before it came back to its house again. “It is normal for the jaguar to be lazy in this environment. Tiger is the king of forest but you simply put some small animals around him. That is why the jaguar shows no interest in going out. Why don’t you put two wolves or at least a jackal around him?”A visitor proposed. Others all agreed with him and put five panthers into the jaguar’s territory. Since then, the jaguar did not go back to its house any more. It either stands on top of the hill roaring or goes down from the hill strolling without sleeping all day long. It did not eat the meat provided by the zoo staff and has totally got back to its nature.
一些市民认为它太孤独了,就集资从国外租雌虎来陪它生活。然而此举并未带来多大改观,那只老虎最多陪伴外来的“女友”走出虎房,到阳光下站一站,不久就又回到它的“卧室”。“它怎能不懒洋洋呢?虎是林中之王,你们放一群吃草的小动物,能提起它的兴趣吗?这么大的一个老虎保护区,你们不放两只狼,至少也得放一只豺狗吧?”一位来此参观的市民建议道。人们觉得他说得有理,就把5只美洲豹投进了虎园。结果,自从豹子进园后,美洲虎就再没回过虎房,它不是站在山顶长啸,就是从山上下来,在草地上游荡,不再长时间睡觉,不再吃管理员送来的肉,基本恢复了本性。
Actually, this principle does not only apply to animals, but also apply to human beings. Here is another story. There was a rich man who was selecting a husband for his only child among a multitude of pursuers. The man led all the pursuers to a river and pointed to the crocodiles, saying, “Anyone who can swim across the river safe and sound will marry my daughter.” Those pursuers looked at each other and no one dare take the initiative. At that moment, a man plunged into the river bravely and swam at a staggering speed to the other side. All the people applauded for his courage with great sense of admiration. Nevertheless, the man, after landing on the bank, shouted angrily, “Who pushed me into the river just now?”
不仅是动物,人也如此。有则故事说,一个富人为独生女儿选婿,求婚者众多。于是这个富人将求婚的男子们带到一条河边,指着河中的鳄鱼说:“如果有人能够安全地游到对岸,我就把女儿嫁给他。”这些男子你看我我看你,谁也不敢跳进河里。正在互相观望之际,突然有一个男子“扑通”一声跳了下去,然后以超乎寻常的速度游到对岸。大家对这个勇敢的男子充满钦佩和羡慕, 报以热烈的掌声。没想到这个男子上岸后,生气地大声问:“刚才是谁把我推下河去的?”
Maybe the man, after thinking of the whole process and the good consequence he is going to obtain, will feel obliged to the one who pushed him into the river. It is fairly common that disadvantages will turn into advantages and misfortunes into fortunes! But many of us cannot manage to realize the significance of our “rivals” to our success. Generally speaking, many people will see the one who “pushes him into the river” as an opponent. However, if you think in a deeper sense, you will realize that it is also a blessing and opportunity to have someone like that! It is the one who “pushes you into the river”who makes you feel the sense of crisis and stimulates your ambition and desire to strive! You will resolve to eliminate all difficulties and progress to another stage of your life!
也许那位男子回过神来想一想,他应该感谢那个把他推下去的人。不利变为有利,坏事变成好事,现实生活中比比皆是,但许多人往往认识不到造成这个结果的那个“对手”的作用。一般来讲,许多人都会把推他“下河” 的人视为敌人,但只要仔细想一想,便会发现有一个强劲的推自己“下河”的人存在,未尝不是一种福分,一种机遇。因为这个推你“下河”的人,会让你产生危机感,会激发你更加旺盛的精神和斗志,会让你下定决心排除一切艰难险阻,在超越中实现矛盾的转化。
In our world, one creature without any rivals is a lifeless creature. If a man lives without rivals, he is bound to be satisfied with the present and will not strive for the better. He would hold back before all difficulties and decline in inaction and laziness. Adverse environment tends to cultivate successful people. Therefore, your rivals are not your opponents or those you grudge. Instead, they are your good friends! In our lives, we need some rivals to “push us into the river”, leaving us striving ahead in all difficulties and competitions. In our work, we need some rivals to be picky about us and supervise our work with rigorous requirements and standards. Due to our rivals, we can bring out our potential to the best; Due to our rivals, we will continuously promote our capabilities when competing with them! 一种没有对手的生物,一定是死气沉沉的生物;一个人假如没有了对手,同样难免会变得安于现状,不思进取,知难而退,在怠惰和没落中消沉。逆境往往造就成功。所以,对手既不是敌人也不是冤家,而是诤友、挚友。人生中,我们需要一个对手推自己“下河”,让自己在阻力中前进,在竞争中发展;工作中,我们需要一个对手,对自己横挑鼻子竖挑眼,督促你发现不足,严要求,高标准。有了对手,我们就会把自己的潜能发挥到极致;有了对手,我们就会在与对手的比拼中提高素质,不断进步。
机遇就存在于生活的细节中。同样的一件事，一个成功的人会看得更多更远„„
John and Bobby joined a wholesale company togther just after graduation from college the same year. Both worked very hard. After several years, however, the boss promoted Bobby to the posotion of manager but John remained an ordinary employee. John could not take it anymore, tendered his resignation to the boss and complained the boss did not know how to delegate and did not value hard working staff, but only promoted those who flattered him。
约翰和博比同年大学毕业后，被同一家批发公司录用。他们二人工作都很努力。然而，几年后，老板提拔博比为部门经理，而约翰还是一名普通员工。约翰再也无法忍受，冲动之下写了一封辞职信，并抱怨老板不会用人，不重用那些敬业的员工，只提升那些奉承他的人。
The boss knew that John worked very hard for the years. He thought for a moment and said, "Thank you for your criticism, but I have a request. I hope you will do one more thing for our company before you leave. Perhaps you will change your mind and take back your resignation."
老板知道这几年约翰工作确实很努力。他想了一会儿说：“谢谢你对我的批评。但是我只有一个请求，我希望在你离开之前再为公司做一件事情。或许到时你会改变决定，收回辞呈。”
John agreed. The boss asked him to go and find out anyone selling watermelon in the market. John went and returned soon. He said he had found out a man selling watermelon. The boss asked how much per kg? John shook his head and went back to the market to ask and returned to inform the boss $1.2 per kg。
约翰答应了。 老板让他去市场找到一个卖西瓜的人。约翰去了并很快回来。他说他找到了一个卖西瓜的人。老板问他每公斤多少钱?约翰摇摇头，回到市场去问，然后又回来告诉老板每公斤1.2美元。
Boss told John to wait a second, and he called Bobby to come to his office. He asked Bobby to go and find anyone seling watermelon in the market. Bobby went, returned and said, boss, only one person selling watermelon. $1.2 per kg, $10 for 10kg, he has inventory of 340 melons. On the table 58 melons, every melon weights about 2 kg, bought from the South two days ago, they are fresh and red, good quality。
老板让约翰等一会儿，这时他把博比叫到办公室。他让博比去市场找到一个卖西瓜的人。博比去了，回来之后说：“老板，只有一个卖西瓜的人，每公斤 1.2美元，每10公斤卖10美元。这个人一共有340个西瓜，其中58个放在货架上，每个西瓜重约2公斤，都是两天前从南方运来的，新鲜，红瓤，质量好。”
John was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Bobby. He decided not to resign but to learn from Bobby。
约翰受到很大的触动，他意识到自己与博比之间的差距。他决定收回辞呈并向博比学习。
My dear friends, a more successful person is more observant, thinks more and explores in depth. Chances exists in the daily details. For the same matter, a more successful person sees more and farther so that he can find out an opportunity and catch it to realize his aim. If a person sees one year ahead, while another sees only tomorrow. The difference between a year and a day is 365 times, how could you win?
亲爱的朋友们，成功的人更善于观察，勤于思考和孜孜探求。机遇就存在于生活的细节中。同样的一件事，一个成功的人会看得更多更远。有人看到一年后的情景，而你只看到明天。一年与一天的差距是365倍，你怎么能赢呢?
Slow Down
As the old saying goes,“What is learned in the cradle carried to the grave. ” How often I wish I could read a story leisurely and patiently, word by word as I did when I was eight years old or even younger. As a little girl with fervent desire to seek knowledge, my motto had been,“Soon ripe, soon rotten. Soon learn, soon forgotten.” So I preferred spending lots of time on repeatedly reading a lovely story through and through. At that time, maybe some other children about my age thought of me as a deranged person. However, I just let myself do what I liked, saying nothing.
But, then, the quick fix lifestyle today is getting more and more popular. One can not put back the clock. Efficiency means life or death. Therefore, I can not avoid changing my reading habits. Usually, I do not have enough time and energy to read a lovely story word by word. I have no other alternative but to enjoy a pre-digest instead, especially when I am too busy. As a result, I am forced to lose a chance to linger over every word of classic novels or the latest best sellers.
Do not get me wrong. I am not saying every work is worth reading word by word. Sometimes, perhaps reading in this way is just a waste of time and energy. But I am saying that it will be really a big pity when I run into a wonderful work I have no time and energy to enjoy it, that is to say, I can only read it superficially. In addition, some works are easy to understand and not worth spending too much time reading thoroughly. For those works, we might discard the dross and select the essence as well. Sometimes, it is the truth that “You may know by a handful the whole sack.”
Why not slow down and enjoy a lovely story like an innocent child?
放慢速度
俗话说：“在摇篮里学的东西会带进坟墓。”我多么希望自己能够像8岁甚至更年幼的时候那样，悠闲、有耐心、逐字逐句地进行阅读。作为一个有着强烈求知欲的小女孩，我的座右铭曾是：“学得快，忘得快。”所以我喜欢花大量的时间去反复地阅读一个可爱的故事。或许那个时候，一些同龄的孩子会把我当作神经病。不过，我坚持我喜欢做的事，没理会他们。
但是，话说回来，现在快节奏生活方式越来越普遍了。时光不会倒流，效率就意味着生命。因而我不得不改变我的阅读习惯。现在的我通常没有足够的时间和精力去逐字逐句地阅读一个可爱的故事。所以我别无选择，只能享受浓缩版，尤其是太忙的时候。无奈，我失去了推敲经典小说或最新畅销书中每一个字的机会。
不要误解我的意思。我不是说每一部作品都值得逐字逐句去阅读。有时候，这样的阅读方式反而是浪费时间和精力。我是说当我邂逅一部伟大的作品时，却没有时间和精力去细细品味，或者说，我只能大致地浏览一番，对我来说实在是个大遗憾。而有些作品比较易懂，也不值得花太多时间去深究。对于这样的作品，我们不妨取其精华，去其糟粕。“见微知著”或许是对的。
因此，何不放慢速度，做一个天真的孩子，去享受一个可爱的故事呢?
