第一篇：勵志(英語小文章)

NO.1 Why are you poor?

The most important thing to becoming rich for you is to have a mindset to want to become rich.The reason I say that is this, is because I wanted to become rich when I played Monopoly, that was, I was nine years old.The greatest formula for wealth is found on that board game.When I was nine years old my poor dad, the schoolteacher says, “Ah put that game away.Study, study, study!You're wasting your time playing Monopoly.”

And my rich dad said the formula, “You must open your mind and see the formula right on Monopoly.” He said, “It's right in front of you.” And I went, “What's the formula?” And finally I learned the formula is, four green houses, red hotel, four green houses, red hotel.Today I'm a rich man because all I ever did since the time I was 24 years old was buy four green houses, sell them all, buy a red hotel, four green houses, red hotel.It is not, that you have to go to school to become rich.Just play Monopoly;four green houses, red hotel.That's it.You must look at how people before you have become rich.Do not talk to poor people.Poor people will tell you, “Oh it's too risky.Don’t do that.Don't take risk.Save your money.Play it safe.” That is a poor person's mindset.You must have an open mindset, open.And if you have an open mindset you will learn from everything.If you have a closed mindset you will learn from nothing.So I think that is the most important thing.The difference between money and wealth

No, I don't have a salary.I only had a job four years in my life.I don’t want a salary.The middle class and poor, what they want is high income.They think they want money.But they have no wealth because they have no assets.You must know the difference between money and wealth but they're not the same same.Money will never make you rich.This makes you rich.I have large companies.I have lots of stocks.I trade options.I have real estate, that's what makes me rich.So the money just comes in whether I work or not.Bill Gates makes $500,000 a year.That's all.I make more than him.That's all he makes but he's worth 40 billion.I'm trying to tell you there is a very big difference between income, money and wealth.So I have spent my life buying assets, businesses, stocks, real estate, that’s what makes you rich, not a job.The reason the rich in America get richer is they pass this on to their kids.My poor dad always said, “High paying job, high paying job, high paying job.” And my rich dad said, “Assets, assets, assets.” That's the difference.NO.2 The biggest secret of success

Once there was a young man who came to ask Socrates how to learn philosophy.Socrates said nothing but took him along to a river.He suddenly pushed him into the river forcibly.At first the young man thought Socrates was kidding so he didn't take it to heart.But Socrates also jumped into the river and pulled his head into water desperately.At this time the young man was really scared, his instinct of living made him use all his strength lifting Socrates and climbed to the bank.The young man asked Socrates with puzzle why he did that, Socrates replied:“I just want to tell you whatever you do, do it with a determination to be unexpectedly rescued from a desperate situation.Only like that can you make a genuine achievement.”

NO.3 The prime condition great secrets of success

It is well that young men should begin at the beginning and occupy the most subordinate positions.Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career.They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office.I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education.But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate to try his hand at the broom.The other day a fond fashionable mother in Michigan asked a young man whether he had ever seen a lady sweep in a room so grandly as her Priscilla.He said no, he never had ,and the mother was gratified beyond measure, but then said he ,after a pause, “What I should like to see her do is sweep out a room” It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary.I was one of those sweepers myself.Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is “aim high”.I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm.Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive.Say to yourself，“My place is at the top.” Be king in your dreams.And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged.Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.The concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they

have scattered their brains also.They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here there, and everywhere.“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” is all wrong.I tell you to “put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.” Look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail.It is easy to watch and carry the one basket.It is trying to carry too many baskets，which break most eggs in this country.He who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up.One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.To summarize what I have said: aim for the highest;never enter a bar room;do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals;never speculate;never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund;make the firm’s interest yours;break orders always to save owners;concentrate;put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket;expenditure always within revenue;lastly, be not impatient, for as Emerson says, “no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves.”

Being Proactive Leads You to Success

Do you have the appreciation that you will ascend the summit of success, filling up with fight, and no saying renounce, when you aspire to bring out something extremely?

In fact, this is a category of effectiveness that is called“Being proactive”.I maintain that being proactive can enhance e person’s appetite to be successful.With the function of the appetite, whoever you are, the chance that you succeed will increase greatly.Thus, only when we are active in doing what we want to do will we gain success.The reason why I say “Being proactive is able to assist us to tend towards success” is that being proactive plays a critical role in our daily life.To be specific, initially, when faced with a gigantic challenge, like crossing a mountain, which you think you can’t overcome, you won’t or dare not do so.Actually you may overcome it assuming that you are proactive.Last year, I took part in an activity that aimed to raise money for a charity school.And there was a vacancy for a propaganda principal, which I thought suited everyone except me.As I hadn’t tasted the savor of being a leader, so I was extremely tense and afeard.At that time, it was being proactive that stimulated me to under take the responsibility.As a result, I overcame my terror.Moreover, being proactive enables to deflate the distance between

those people who do well in life and us.With the help of being proactive, imperfect as we are, we also advance in our study.In some aspects, it is adequate.What I say above are that I digest from the activity.By taking such a meaningful activity, I am aware of what were real important and what we should do.Eventually, sometimes we can benefit from being proactive.For example, at the very beginning of the activity, no one gave us donation and I was doubtful why we didn’t gain money.Then I found it was because our propaganda was too boring that people were not attracted by us.Hence I increased the interest of our methods.As was expected, the active way engendered a apparent effect.And we finished this activity propitiously and all of us were praised by the headmaster, what’s more, we reap the improvement of social practice ability.Therefore, whenever and wherever you meet the difficulty, please don’t lose your heart and make use of your being proactive to defeat what you face with.The phenomenon that we are negative once in a while in study and life is of popularity, this is partly due to the fact that we use up our energy occasionally, but also because we don’t have Being proactive.Therefore, as Winston Churchill says--Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.So we should attach importance to Being proactive and what we insist on all the doing things with Being proactive.Ultimately, we must find ourselves enjoying the

gratification of success.We heroes, start off!

英語勵志文章：Just for today

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，“大多數人都是決定想怎么高興就怎么高興。”這已經被認為是真理。

就為了今天，我會做自我調整適應事物本來的面目，而不是想方設法使每一件事滿足自己的欲望。當機會來臨的時候我會抓住它。

就為了今天，我會盡力心強志堅。我會學習，學一些有用的東西。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現，若有人發現了就不算數。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，但今天我不想表現出來。

就為了今天，我會過得很愜意。看起來我達到了最佳狀態，穿著得體、講話謙虛、行為禮貌、一點不吹毛求疵，盡量改進和調節自己而不是別人。

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：倉促行事和優柔寡斷。

就為了今天，我將會獨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。

英語勵志文章： Be a Fighter

A young friend of mine asked me in a letter, “What kind of man should I be?” My answer was, “Be a fighter.”

Another friend of mine inquired, “How should I live my life?” Again my answer was, “Be a fighter.”

The author of In Praise of the Fighter says:

Riding on the ceaseless rushing torrent of life, I should pursue and overtake it so as to create an even greater and deeper torrent of my own.If I were a lamp, it would be my duty to light up thick darkness.If I were the sea tide, I would marshal rolling waves to cleanse the beach of all accumulated filth.This quotation reflects aptly the state of mind of a lighter.Fighters are badly needed in our time.But such fighters do not necessarily go to the battle-field gun in hand.Their weapons are not necessarily bullets.Their weapons may be knowledge, faith and strong will.They can bring the enemy sure death without drawing his blood.A fighter is always in pursuit of light.Instead of basking in the sunshine under a clear sky, he holds a burning torch in the darkness of night to illuminate people's way so that they can continue their journey till they see the dawn of a new day.It is the task of a fighter to dispel darkness.Instead of shirking darkness, he braves it and fights the hidden demons and monsters therein.He is determined to wipe them out and win light.He knows no compromise.He will keep on fighting until he wins light.A fighter is perennially young.He is never irresolute or inactive.He plunges deep into teeming crowds in search of such vermin as flies and venomous mosquitoes.He will fight them relentlessly and refuse to coexist with them under the same sky.To him, life means nothing but continuous fighting.He either survives by winning light, or perishes with his body covered all over with cuts and bruises.In the course of the struggle, it is the “future” that serves as the beacon light to him;the “future” gives people hope and inspiration.He will never lose his youthful vigour.A fighter will never lose heart or despair.He will pile up broken pieces of brick and stone to rebuild a nine-story pagoda on the ruins of failure.No blows will ever break his will.He will never close his eyes until he has breathed his last.A fighter is always fearless.His steps are firm.Once he has settled on an objective, he will press right ahead.He is never afraid of being tripped by a stumbling block.No obstacles will ever make him change his mind.His eyes will never be hoodwinked by false appearances.His actions are guided by faith.He can endure any hardships or sufferings while striving to attain his chosen objective.He will never abandon work as long as he is alive.This is the kind of fighter we now need.He is not necessarily possessed of superhuman capability.He is just an ordinary person.Anyone can be a fighter so long as he has the determination.Hence a few words of mine about “being a fighter” to encourage those young people who wander about in a depressed state, not knowing which way to go.參考譯文：

做一名進攻型戰士

一個年輕的朋友寫信問我：“應該做一個什么樣的人?“我回答他：“做一個戰士。”

另一個朋友問我：“怎樣對付生活了，我仍舊答道：“做一個戰士。” 《戰士頌》的作者曾經寫過這樣的話：

“我激蕩在這綿綿不息、滂沱四方的生命洪流中，我就應該追逐這洪流，而且追過它，自己去造更廣、更深的洪流。”

“我如果是一盞燈，這燈的用處便是照徹那多量的黑暗。我如果是海潮，便要鼓起波濤去洗滌海邊一切陳腐的積物。”

這一段話很恰當地寫出了戰士的心情。

在這個時代，戰士是最需要的。但是這樣的戰士并不一定要持槍上戰場。他的武器也下一定是槍彈。他的武器還可以是知識、信仰和堅強的意志。他并不一定要流仇敵的血，卻能更有把握地致敵人的死命，戰士是永遠追求光明的。他并不躺在晴空下享受陽光，在晴夜里燃起火炬，給人們照亮道路，使他們走向黎明。驅散黑暗，這是戰士的任務。他不躲避黑暗，卻要面對黑暗，跟躲藏在陰影里的魑魅、魍魎搏斗。他要消滅它們而取得光明。戰士是不知道妥協的。他得不到光明便不會停止戰斗。

戰士永遠是年輕的。他不猶豫，不休息。他深入人叢中，找尋蒼蠅、毒蚊等等危害人類的東西。他不斷地攻擊它們，不肯與它們共同生存在一個天空下面，對于戰士，生活就是不停的戰斗，他不是取得光明而牛存，便是帶著滿身傷痕而死去。

在戰斗中力量只有增長，信仰只有加強，在戰斗中給戰士指路的是“未來”，“未來”給人以希望和鼓舞。戰士永遠不會失去青春的活力。

戰士是不知道灰心與絕望的。他甚至在失敗的廢墟上，還要堆起破碎的磚石重建九級寶塔。任何打擊都不能擊破戰士的意志。只有在死的時候他才閉上眼睛。戰士是不知道畏縮的，他的腳步很堅定。一旦他認準目標，便會向前走去。他不怕被絆腳石摔倒，沒有一種障礙能使他改變心思，假象絕不能迷住戰士的眼睛，支配戰士的行動的是信仰。他能夠忍受一切艱難、痛苦，而達到他所選定的目標。除非他死，否則他決不放棄工作。

這便是我們現在需要的戰士。這樣的戰士并不一定具有超人的能力。他是一個平凡的人。每個人都可以做戰士，只要他有決心。所以我用“做一個進攻型的戰士”來激勵那些還在苦悶中彷徨，不知何去何從的年輕朋友。
