第一篇：勵志英語小短文[小編推薦]

1.Buy someone's coffee.It's just coffee--no one needs coffee, so this doesn't really matter, right? But what if you knew that a $2 cup of caffeine could change someone's day, week or their wholeperspective? Boom: That cup of coffee just changed the world.Welcome to the Random Acts of Kindness movement, where nice things happen just because nice people do them.You don't have to, you don't necessarily need to, but you can--and it restores people's faith in humanity.The best part? They pass it on.2.Smile....with eye contact.In a world where smart phones rule and it's not just possible, but normal, to have entire conversations without ever looking someone in the eye, it can be heart-stopping, wonderful and double-take-worthy to lock eyes with someone grinning.Happiness is contagious, and it only takes a couple facial muscles to spread it.3.Give what you can.You clean out your closets, right? Perfect.You don't need a half a million dollar check written out to your charity of choice to help someone(kudos to you if you do, though!).Maybe you have a few shirts you don't wear anymore or a few children's books you can bear to part with.The thing about giving a little is that when everyone gives a little, suddenly it turns into a lot.Be a part of that lot.4.Get in touch.Then listen.Maybe a grandparent is chomping at the bit to hear about your adventures, or maybe an old friend had a really bad day, maybe your mom wishes you'd ring her up more often.Get on the line.You remember that your iPhone can make calls, right? Get in touch with those people that are dying to hear from you(because someone definitely is).Then, ask: How are you doing? What's new? These questions have such few syllables, but their depth is endless.5.Sort your problems.Let's face it: There's a lot of bad stuff in the world.It can be a scary place, and we've all got problems we would be a whole lot happier without.But experiment with putting your problems into perspective--or boxes: That breakup? Missing a really important deadline at work? Hurt feelings? Losing someone close to you? Probably worth some self-pity.That stain on your shirt? Not so much.Let go of what you can.The less negative, the more room there is to be happy.6.Give when you get.This is the best kind of multitasking!Whenever you get a little, give a little.There's a couple ways to pull this off: You can implement it yourself(donating an older shirt when you splurge for a new shirt, etc), or support companies that are passionate, good-hearted(really fun)do-gooders.Doesn't get much better than that, does it? 7.Stop comparing yourself to people you see on the Internet.We all creep people's Instagram and Twitter feeds...and there's nothing wrong with wanting to be the best version of you.But you're you for a reason, and there's no one better at being you than you are!A little self-acceptance goes a long way.Your confidence will melt into other people and make them feel comfortable in their own skin too.8.Use please and thank you.Not to sound like your grandmother(go ahead and put your elbows on the table!), but the smallest ways to show your gratitude are these little words.They take zero effort to say, but the impact is huge.Aren't you thankful someone held the door for you when your hands were full? Tell them!9.Support someone else.You know that friend who is trying to promote their new album, or start that business? You don't always have to chip in financially to be a backer--you just have to believe in something!Lend your support when and where you can.Whether it's as simple as a retweet on Twitter or tossing a few extra bucks toward a worthy cause, show someone you believe in what they're doing.Not only will they be super-motivated, but they'll pass it on.10.Chase what gets you up in the morning.What's the thing that lingers on your heart--that you just can't stop daydreaming about? Do the thing you would do if you could do anything.It's called your passion.And it's what you should be doing.Sometimes, we treat chasing dreams like a fantasy--it's easy to do, when things like money and rent and groceries and day jobs come into play.But you don't have to jump off the cliff solo: Start building your wings.Inch toward your dream.One foot in front of the other.Take the step.After all, it's your calling.perspective [p?r?sp?kt?v] n.透視圖；觀點；洞察力；遠(yuǎn)景adj.透視的 humanity [hju'm?niti] n.人類；【總稱】人

contact [?kɑn?t?kt;k?n?t?kt ] n.交往，聯(lián)系；接觸，觸碰；社會關(guān)系；接點，觸點v.跟?聯(lián)絡(luò)上，同?聯(lián)系adj.跟?聯(lián)絡(luò)上，同?聯(lián)系 為他人買杯咖啡

只是杯咖啡而已——沒人必須要喝咖啡，所以也無所謂，對吧？但是如果你知道2美元一杯的咖啡可以改變一個人的一天、一周甚至整個人生，那你會怎么做？哇，一杯咖啡改變了整個世界。歡迎參與“好事隨意做”活動，就是因為好人做好事，好事才會來。你不一定要做，你不必一定做，但你能做得到——這樣會讓人們重新相信人性。你猜最好的部分是什么？人們會把它傳遞下去。微笑

微笑著用眼神交流。在一個智能手機(jī)統(tǒng)治的世界，在整個交流的過程中，連看也不看對方一眼，這樣的行為不僅是可能的，也是正常的。要是看著對方咧嘴笑，就會有屏息凝氣、非常奇妙的感覺?？鞓肥强梢詡魅镜模恍柰ㄟ^幾個面部肌肉的運動就可以把它傳播。盡你所能地付出

你整理自己的衣櫥，對吧？很好。你不用非得寫一張50萬的支票捐給慈善機(jī)構(gòu)來幫助他人（但是如果你這樣做，那當(dāng)然相當(dāng)好！）。也許你有幾件不再穿的襯衫，或有幾本可以舍棄的童書。雖然只付出一點點，但當(dāng)每個人都付出一點點時，就會積少成多。來成為多的一部分吧。保持聯(lián)系，然后傾聽

也許你的爺爺奶奶正迫不及待地想聽你的歷險，也許一個老友過了糟糕的一天，也許你的媽媽希望你多給她打個電話。聯(lián)系他們吧。你還記得你的iPhone能打電話，對嗎？和那些很想和你聯(lián)系的人打個電話吧。然后問問：你怎么樣了？最近發(fā)生了什么事兒？雖然這些問題只有幾個音節(jié)，但是這些問題的深度是無止境的。把問題排序

讓我們面對現(xiàn)實吧：世界上有很多不好的事情。它會讓人感到恐慌。我們都有問題，要是沒有的話，會幸福地多。但是試一試用長遠(yuǎn)的眼光來看這些問題：分手？工作時錯過了重要的截止時間？受傷的感覺？失去了親近的人？或許值得自憐自哀。襯衫上的污漬？那就不值得了。能放手就放手。負(fù)面因素越少，開心的空間就越大。當(dāng)你得到時就給予

這是多任務(wù)的最好形式！無論何時只要你得到了一點點，那就給予一點點?？梢杂泻芏喾N方法：你可以自己去做（比如當(dāng)你買了一件新襯衫時可以捐出一件舊襯衫）或支持有激情的公司、熱心腸的好人。還有什么比這更好的呢？ 不要再和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上的人進(jìn)行比較

我們都喜歡看別人在Instagram和推特上的內(nèi)容?,想成為最好的自己也沒什么錯。但是你就是你，沒人比做你做得更出色的了！一點點兒自我接受，就能走很遠(yuǎn)。你的自信會逐漸融入他人，讓他們也感到自信。用“請”和“謝謝”

不是說聽起來要像你的奶奶（快點，把胳膊肘放到桌子上！），但是表達(dá)你的感激之情的最簡單的方式莫過于這些簡單的詞匯。說這些話又不費勁，但是影響卻是相當(dāng)大的。當(dāng)你兩手滿滿，有人給你開門時，你不是很感激他們？告訴他們！支持他人

你知道你的那個朋友在宣傳他們的新唱片，或開了一家新公司？你不用每次都出資——你只需去相信他們！無論何時何地，只要你能幫助他們，就伸出你的手吧。無論是在推特上的一條轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)，還是因為某個值得的原因投上一些錢，讓他們看看你相信他們做的事情。他們不僅僅會受到鼓舞，而且還會把這份正能量傳遞下去。追逐你的夢想

什么東西徘徊在你的心間——以至于你總是在不斷地去夢想它？如果你能為它做點兒事情，那就做吧。這就叫做激情。這也是你應(yīng)該去做的事情。有時，我們把夢想看成是幻想——當(dāng)有錢、有租金、有食物、有工作時很容易去做。但是，你也不能不加準(zhǔn)備就跳下懸崖：你該先長出自己的翅膀。一點點地朝夢想靠近。一步一步地往前走。往前邁一步吧。畢竟，這是你的使命。

第二篇：英語勵志小短文

勵志小短文三：A Better Tomorrow People often wonder why historians go to so much trouble to preserve millions of books, documents and records.Why do we have libraries? What good are these documents and history books? Why do we record and save the actions of men, the negotiations1 of government officials and the events during wars? We do it because, sometimes, the voice of experience can cause us to stop, look and listen.Sometimes, past records, when understood in the right way, can help us decide what to do and what not to do.If we are ever to create lasting peace, we

must seek its origins in human experience and in the records of human history.From the stories of courage and devotion of men and women, we create the inspirations of youth.History records the suffering, the self-denial2, the devotion, and the heroic deeds of people in the past.These records can help us when we are confused and when we really need peace.The main purpose of history is to create a better world.History gives a warning to those who promote war, and inspiration to those who seek peace.In short, history helps us learn.Yesterday’s records can keep us from

repeating yesterday’s mistakes.And from the pieces of mosaic4 assembled5 by historians come the great murals6 which represent the progress of mankind.翻譯：一個更好的明天

英語勵志短文人們常常心存疑慮,為什么歷史學(xué)家要費盡周折地保存數(shù)以萬計的書籍、文獻(xiàn)和記錄。

我們?yōu)槭裁匆袌D書館呢？這些文獻(xiàn)和史書有何用處呢? 我們?yōu)槭裁匆涊d并保存人類的行為、政府官員的談判和戰(zhàn)爭中的事件呢？

我們這么做的原因在于有時候經(jīng)驗之音能促使我們停步、觀察和傾聽。也因為有時候過

去的記載經(jīng)過正確地詮釋,能幫助我們決定何事可為、何事不可為。如果我們想要創(chuàng)造永久的和平,我們就必須從人類的經(jīng)驗以及人類歷史的記載中去探索其淵源。

從體現(xiàn)男性和女性勇敢和奉獻(xiàn)精神的故事之中,我們獲得了青春的啟示。英語短文歷史記載著人類的一切苦難、克己、忠誠和英勇的事跡。這些記載在我們困惑和渴望和平時能對我們有所幫助。

歷史的主要目的是創(chuàng)造一個更加美好的世界。歷史對那些力主戰(zhàn)爭的人給以警告,給予那些尋求和平的人以啟示。

簡而言之,歷史幫助我們學(xué)習(xí)。昨日的記載可以使我們避免重蹈覆轍。這些歷史學(xué)家們創(chuàng)

作的像馬賽克一樣色彩繽紛的歷史片斷匯聚成了代表人類進(jìn)步的偉大壁畫。

第三篇：英語勵志小短文

勵志小短文二：The Power of the Dream When someone looks into your eyes they should see something alive within you.Having a dream is like owning a lighthouse1 which directs you on your journey.At every turn we come across its mystery.At each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become.In lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.Believe in your faith.Set the vision before your eyes.Write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream.It may take

one season or more, but the result is the same.Make big dreams and then go out and make them realities.The highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible.For a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside.But if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.Dreaming is an act of faith.The light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world.God has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.Find your treasure within and cherish2 it.Tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.翻譯：夢想的力量

別人看你的眼睛時,他應(yīng)當(dāng)體會到你內(nèi)心的活力。懷揣夢想就像是擁有一座引領(lǐng)你前行的燈塔。

每個轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)頭,它給我們帶來奇跡。每個新的起點,我們脫胎換骨,煥然一新。孤獨中我們挺過失望的陰霾,發(fā)現(xiàn)我們的信念不曾動搖,我們的力量依然強(qiáng)大。

秉持信念,期盼未來。許下你最真誠的夢想,一旦機(jī)會來臨,就為之拼搏。也許要花一季甚或更多的時間,但結(jié)局不會改變。立大志,傾全

力,成現(xiàn)實。前途未卜,唯有一步一個腳印,夢想者的至高希冀才會實現(xiàn)。我們必須珍存夢想,給它一季的保護(hù),讓它在內(nèi)心悄然生發(fā)。然而我們還得溫柔呵護(hù)我們內(nèi)心至深的期許,慢慢地夢想必將成就新的生命。

夢想是實現(xiàn)信仰的第一步。你的期待熠熠光輝,它會驅(qū)逐不信的陰影。上帝賦予我們夢想的天資,去點亮不曾確信的世界。讓夢想的財富寄于心中,珍愛它,明天正等著你跨出第一步。

第四篇：英語勵志小短文

英語勵志短文

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of 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, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.無論是60歲還是16歲，你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄滅的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事業(yè)成功的歡樂與熱情。在你我的心底，有一座無線電臺，它能在多長時間里接收到人間萬物傳遞來的美好、希望、歡樂、鼓舞和力量的信息，你就會年輕多長時間。

An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls.Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.人的生命應(yīng)當(dāng)像河流，開始是涓涓細(xì)流，受兩岸的而十分狹窄，爾后奔騰咆哮，翻過危巖，飛越瀑布，河面漸漸開闊，河岸也隨之向兩邊隱去，最后水流平緩，森森無際，匯入大海之中，個人就這樣毫無痛苦地消失了。

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 sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.青春意味著戰(zhàn)勝懦弱的那股大丈夫氣概和擯棄安逸的那種冒險精神。往往一個60歲的老者比一個20歲的青年更多一點這種勁頭。人老不僅僅是歲月流逝所致，更主要的是不思進(jìn)取的結(jié)果。

Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.光陰可以在顏面上留下印記，而熱情之火的熄滅則在心靈上刻下皺紋。煩惱、恐懼、缺乏自信會扭曲人的靈魂，并將青春化為灰燼。

學(xué)習(xí)英語的重要性

Michael Jordan's Retired Speech

邁克爾·喬丹退役演說

I am here to announce my retirement from the game of basketball.It won't be another announcement to baseball or anything to that nature.我在這里宣布從籃球場上退役，而且這次退役后不會再去從事棒球或其他類似的運動。

Mentally, I'm exhausted;I don't feel I have a challenge.Physically, I feel great.The last time in 1993 I had other agendas.I felt that I wanted to play baseball and I felt that at my age, it was a good opportunity and time to do it.And with the death of my father, and I was basically trying to deal with that.由于精神上很疲憊，我感到自己非常蛙主恥戰(zhàn)力，體力倒還不錯。1993年那次退役時我有其他計劃：想打棒球，我這個年紀(jì)正是從事樺球事業(yè)的極佳時機(jī)而且父親剛好去世了，我只想盡力去面對這一切。

Actually I talked to very last year once the season ended and I told Jerry at that time, mentally, I was a little exhausted.I didn't know if I would play next year.I wanted to put him on awareness so that he could possibly prepare going into next season.And very, once we had our conversation, wanted me to take time as I did in 93 to make sure that it was the right decision because it was going to be the final decision.事實上，去年賽季剛結(jié)束時，我和在里談過一次。我告訴他我精神上有些疲憊，不知道下一年還能不能打我想讓他幸識到這一點，以便為下一事豐做準(zhǔn)備。杰里——有一次我們談過這個問題——讓我要像93年那樣，好好考慮，以使做出明智的決定，因為這將是最后的決定。

I retired the first time when Phil Jackson was the coach.And I think that even with Phil being the coach I would have had a tough time , mentally finding the challenge for myself.I though he can somehow present challenges for me.I don't know if he could have presented the challenge for me to continue on to this season.Even though middle way of this season I wanted to continue to play a couple more years, but at the end of this season I was mentally drained and tired.50 I can't say that he would have restored that.第一次退役時菲爾.杰克遜是教練。但我覺得即使本賽季他還擔(dān)任教練，我也會很困難，內(nèi)心里，我已感到了挑戰(zhàn)。當(dāng)然克論如何，他都會給我一些應(yīng)對方潔的我不知道他是否還有辦法使我打完這一賽季。在本賽季中間我還想著再打幾年呢，但當(dāng)賽季結(jié)束時，我卻感覺精神枯竭，疲憊。因此我確實不能說他會使我恢復(fù)精力。

I will support the Chicago Bulls.I think the game itself is a lot bigger than Michael Jordan.I've been given an opportunity by people before me, to name a few, Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Doctor J, Eljohn Baylor Jerry West.These guys played the game way before Michael Jordan was born and Michael Jordan came on the heels of all that activity.Mr.Stern and what he's done for the league, gave me an opportunity to play the game of basketball I played it to the best I could play it, I tried to enhance the game itself.I've tried to be the best basketball player that I could be.我將支持芝加哥公牛隊，我認(rèn)為比賽本身比邁克爾.喬丹重要得多。我的很多機(jī)會都是籃球前輩們給的。我這里指出一些：里姆·阿卡杜·賈巴爾，J博士,伊利約翰 ·貝勒，杰里 ·韋斯特這些人早在邁克爾.喬丹出生前就活躍在賽場了。邁克爾.喬丹只不過是繼承了他們的傳統(tǒng)。斯特恩先生及其為聯(lián)盟做出的貢獻(xiàn)給了我打藍(lán)球的機(jī)會。找已盡我最大能力打球，我也努力拉動比賽本身的發(fā)展。我一直在努力，盡我所能成為最好的球員。

James Cameron: Failure is an Option, but Fear is not

詹姆斯·卡梅隆：失敗是人生的選項之一，但畏懼不是

And you know, along the way in this journey of discovery, I learned a lot.I learned a lot about science.But I also learned a lot about leadership.Now you think director has got to be a leader, leader of, captain of the ship, and all that sort of thing.在發(fā)現(xiàn)的旅途中，我學(xué)到了很多。我學(xué)到的不僅僅是科學(xué)知識，還有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力。很多人以為作為導(dǎo)演，就一定具有很高的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)力，就像船長帶領(lǐng)整艘船一樣。

I didn't really learn about leadership until I did these expeditions.Because I had to, at a certain point, say, “What am I doing out here? Why am I doing this? What do I get out of it?” We don't make money at these damn shows.We barely break even.There is no fame in it.People sort of think I went away between “Titanic” and “Avatar” and was buffing my nails someplace, sitting at the beach.Made all these films, made all these documentary films for a very limited audience.但我卻是從這些探險中學(xué)到如何帶領(lǐng)團(tuán)隊。在探險時，有時候我會問自己，“我為什么會在這里?為什么要做這些紀(jì)錄片?我從中得到了什么?”我們并沒有從這些紀(jì)錄片中賺錢，還差點虧了本。我也沒有賺到名聲。很多人以為我在《秦坦尼克號》之后《阿凡達(dá)》之前就一直躺在沙灘邊享受。這些紀(jì)錄片只有很少的觀眾。

No fame, no glory, no money.What are you doing? You're doing it for the task itself, for the challenge---and the ocean is the most challenging environment there is, for the thrill of discovery, and for that strange bond that happens when a small group of people form a tightly knit team.Because we would do these things with 10-12 people working for years at a time.Sometimes at sea for 2-3 months at a time.沒有名聲，沒有榮耀，沒有利潤。那我在做什么呢?我做這些其實只是為了這件任務(wù)本身。為了挑戰(zhàn)——海洋是現(xiàn)存最危險的環(huán)境;為了發(fā)現(xiàn);也為了一種奇怪的關(guān)系，這發(fā)生在一個很少人組成的緊密團(tuán)隊中。我們這10到12個人在一起工作了很多年。有時要在海里一起工作2到3個月。

And in that bond, you realize that the most important thing is the respect that you have for them and that they have for you, that you've done a task that you can't explain to someone else.When you come back to the shore and you say, “We had to do this, and the fiber optic, and the attenuation, and this and that all the technology of it, and the difficulty, the human performance aspects of working at sea, you can't explain it to people.It's that thing that maybe cops have, or people in combat that have gone through something together and they know they can never explain it.Creates a bond, creates a bond of respect.”

在這種關(guān)系中，我發(fā)現(xiàn)最重要的東西就是尊重。你尊重他們，他們也尊重你，每個人做的工作都無法向其他人解釋。當(dāng)你從岸邊回來的時候，你說：“我們不得不這樣做，光纖眼、鈍化、這個、那個，所有的技術(shù)、困難和在海邊表演的各方面，你沒法跟大家說清楚。這很像警察經(jīng)歷的那種事情或是格斗中人們經(jīng)歷的，他們知道他們解釋不清。創(chuàng)造一種關(guān)系，建立起一種尊重關(guān)系?！?/p>
