英语励志美文：年轻时一定要知道的15件事　　Most people learn over time, but often learning comes too late to be fully useful. There are certainly many things that I know now that would have been extremely useful to me earlier in my life; things that could have saved me from many of the mistakes and hurts I suffered over the years―and most of those that I inflicted on others too.　　I don’t buy the romantic notion that my life has been somehow richer or more interesting because of all the times I screwed up; nor that the mistakes were “put” there to help me learn. I made them myself―through ignorance, fear, and a dumb wish to have everyone like me―and life and work would have been less stressful and more enjoyable (and certainly more successful) without them. So here are some of the things I wish I had learned long ago. I hope they may help a few of you avoid the mistakes that I made back then.　　1. Most of it doesn’t matter.So much of what I got excited about, anxious about, or wasted my time and energy on, turned out not to matter. There are only a few things that truly count for a happy life. I wish I had known to concentrate on those and ignore the rest.　　2. The greatest source of misery and hatred in this world is clinging to past hurts.Look at all the terrorists and militant groups that hark back to some event long gone, or base their justification for killing on claims of some supposed historical right to a bit of land, or redress for a wrong done hundreds of years ago.　　3. Waiting to do something until you can be sure of doing it exactly right means waiting for ever.One of the greatest advantages anyone can have is the willingness to make a fool of themselves publicly and often. There’s no better way to learn and develop. Heck, it’s fun too.　　4.Following the latest fashion, in work or in life, is spiritual and intellectual suicide.You can be a cheap imitation of the ideal of the moment; or you can be a unique individual. The choice is yours. Religion isn’t the opiate of the masses, fashion is.　　5. If people complain that you’re too fond of going your own way and aren’t fitting in, you must be on the right track.Who wants to live life as a herd animal? The guys in power don’t want you to fit in for your own sake; they want you to stop causing them problems and follow their orders. You can’t have the freedom to be yourself and meekly fit in at the same time.　　6. If you make your work your life, you’re making your life into hard work. Like most people,I confused myself by looking at people like artists and musicians whose life’s “work” fills their time. That isn’t work. It’s who they are. Unless you have some overwhelming passion that also happens to allow you to earn a living doing it, always remember that work should be a means to an end: living an enjoyable life. Spend as little time on the means as possible consistent with achieving the end. Only idiots live to work.　　7. The quickest and simplest way to wreck any relationship is to listen to gossip.The worst way to spend your time is spreading more. People who spread gossip are the plague-carriers of our day. Cockroaches are clean, kindly creatures in comparison.　　8. Trying to please other people is largely a futile activity. Everyone will be mad at you sometime.Most of the people you deal with will dislike, disparage, belittle, or ignore what you say or do most of the time. Besides, you can never really know what others do want, so a good deal of whatever you do in that regard will go to waste. Be comforted. Those who love you will probably love you regardless, and they are the ones whose opinions are worth caring about. The rest aren’t worth five minutes of thought between them.　　9. Every winner is destined to be a loser in due course.It’s great to be up on the winner’s podium. Just don’t imagine you can stay there for ever. Worst of all is being determined to do so, by any means available.　　10.You can rarely, if ever, please, placate, change, or mollify an asshole.The best thing you can do is stay away from every one you encounter. Being an asshole is a contagious disease. The more time you spend around one, the more likely you are to catch it and become one too.　　11. Everything takes twiceas long as you plan for and produces results about half as good as you hoped. There’s no reason to be downhearted about this. Just allow for it and move on.　　12. People are oddly consistent.Liars usually tell lies. Cheaters cheat whenever it suits them. A person who confides in you has usually confided in several others first―but not got the response they wanted. A loyal friend will stay loyal under enormous amounts of thoughtless abuse.　　13.However hard you try, you can’t avoid being yourself.Who else could you be? You can act and pretend, but the person acting and pretending is still you. And if you won’t accept yourself―and do the best you can with what you have―who then has any obligation to accept you?　　14. When it comes to blatant lies, there are none more egregious than budget figures.Time spent agonizing over them is time wasted. Even if (miracle of miracles!) yours are honest and accurate, no one else will have been so foolish.　　15. The loudest noise in the world is the sound of people whining.Don’t add to it.

This is the Rockefeller of the 38 letters to his son, in which one. December24, 1897 Dear John: Wise to say it always makes me remember very firmly. One wise man put it well, covers many aspects of education, but he does not teach you any aspect of their own. The wise man to show us a truth: If you do not take action, the world's most practical and beautiful, can not be the most viable philosophical works. I have always believed that opportunities are chance to come by. Even the best idea was flawed, even if it is a common plan, but if indeed implemented and continue to develop, will be more than halfway to a good program better, as the former would be consistent, the latter would come to naught. So I say, No secret to success, it is necessary to achieve positive results in life, there are extraordinary wisdom, special talent certainly a good thing, no nothing very wrong, as long as willing to positive action, you will become increasingly verge of success. Unfortunately, many people do not learn the lessons of the largest, the result will itself become a mediocrity. Look at those powerless ordinary people, you will find that they have in the passive alive, they say than to do more, or even just saying no. But they have almost every one of the experts to find an excuse, they will find all kinds of excuses to delay, until the end they prove that the matter should not, can not afford to do it, or until it was too late. Compared with such people, I seem clever, cunning, a lot. I was Mr. Gates touted the initiative to do things, self-motivated actors. I will be happy to hype because I did not live up to it. Affirmative action is on me, another logo, I do not like the paper or empty words. Because I know, no action would be no result, there is no one thing which is not an idea implemented by a derived from the past. Who is alive, we must consider the action. Many people have recognized that there is no wisdom-based knowledge is useless, but even more frustrating is that even had plenty of knowledge and wisdom, without action, all still talk. Action and fully prepared to in fact be regarded as two sides of an object. Life must go too far. Do too much preparation but do not delay action, the final will be a waste of time. In other words, everything must be controlled, we can not fall into the continuous training, planning the trap, but must recognize the reality: no matter how careful, we are still impossible to predict accurately the final solution. I certainly do not deny that a very important program, the plan is the first step to obtain a favorable outcome, but the plan is not action, is also no substitute for action. Just like playing golf, like, if not played the first hole, you can not reach the second hole. Action to resolve all. Without action, nothing will happen. We are not foolproof in any way to buy insurance, but we can do is determined to implement our plan. The lack of action, could all have a bad habit: Do you like the status quo, resist change. I think this is a result of great deception and self-destructive bad habits, because everything is changing, as people would like life and death, there is no change things. But the inner fears - fear of the unknown, many people resist change, even if what the status quo is not to his satisfaction, he did not dare to move one step forward. Take a look at those who are the successful careers, but nothing of people, you know how the various pieces of intelligence that they are very difficult thing. Yes, everyone in determining a major event, the heart will be more or less some concern, fear, want it in the end will face troubles. But the action faction will use determined to ignite the spark of mind, come up with different ways to accomplish their desire to even have the courage to overcome all obstacles. A lot of people's congresses lack of action is very naive, like waiting for things to happen. They naively think that others will care about their business. In fact, in addition to their other, others not interested in them, people only interested in their own affairs. For example, a business, the higher the proportion of our profits, we must take the initiative more, because the success or failure has little relationship with others, they do not care about. At this point, we had better push it to one, if we are lazy, back, waiting for someone else to take the initiative to push things, the result will be disappointing. One has only himself to rely on their own, he would not let ourselves down, and can increase their control over the fate of opportunities. Smart people tend to go to promote things from happening. Life of the most frustrating, and than want to do too much, the result not only do not have enough time to do, but think of everything of the many steps have been shaken by emotion can not be done, resulting in nothing. We must recognize that time is limited, no one can finish everything. Smart people know that not all actions will have good results, only the wise course of action can bring about meaningful results, it has done a wise man will learn from the positive results obtained after the work done with the completion of the work of the greatest goals, and dedicated, so intelligent people can always make the most valuable contribution, and purely monetary many benefits. The need to eat an elephant one bite to eat, to do things the same, would like to complete all of the things that will only let the opportunity slip away. My motto is: Rockefeller of emergency to take unfair treatment. Many people are their own to make itself into a passive person, and they want to wait until all the conditions are perfect, that is, until after the time of the action. Any time is a chance in life, but almost no one is perfect. Those who passively mediocre life, precisely because they must wait until everything is 100% beneficial, sure do it until after. This is a stupid approach. We must believe in the hands of life, compromise is needed now is the opportunity before his action before the block fell into the morass of ever wait senselessly waiting outside. We are striving for perfection, but human things are not an absolutely perfect, just close to perfect. Wait until after all the conditions are perfect to do but to wait forever, and will give others the opportunity to hand over. Those who have to wait until everything is ready before the starting of the people, will never be inseparable from the home. To become a I will now do the kind of person, that is, to cease all pipe dreams, always think of now, from the start to do now. Such as Tomorrow, next week, future sort of sentence, with the can never achieve the same meaning. Each person has lost self-confidence, doubt their own ability, especially in time of adversity. However, those who truly understand the art of action, but can use a strong determination to overcome it, and will tell themselves that everyone has failed, when there are failed miserably time will tell that no matter how much preparation done in advance, thinking how long, the real start doing, there will inevitably make mistakes. However, the passive person, does not fail as an opportunity to learn and grow, they always remind ourselves: Maybe I really Buxing Le, resulting in loss of active participation in future operations. Many people believe that all wishes come true, but I am taking it as Huang Yan. A good idea to be able to buy a dime a dozen, the initial idea is just starting a series of operations, followed by the need to prepare the second phase, plans and the third phase of the operation. In our world, there is never a lack of ideas are ideas people, but know how to successfully achieve a good idea to put out the 1000 fantasy than in the home a good idea to be much more valuable to people who are few. People used to judge the true foundation of your ability, not your mind how much installed, but your actions. People have to trust the person down to earth, they will think: this man dare say, must know how to do the best. I have not heard of anyone because it did not bother other people, did not take action or to wait until someone else ordered the work be praise. Those in business, government, military leaders, are all very capable and those who work hard, 100% active people. Those people will always stand outside the inaction of the leaders do not succeed. Whether spontaneous or passive people who are used to speeding. Habits like rope, textile and a rope every day and finally it is too thick can not be broken. The rope is not used to lead us to a climax that is leading us to the bottom, it was optimistic about the main habits or bad habits. The mercy of our bad habits can influence the success or failure, it is very easy to cultivate, but it is difficult to wait. Is difficult to develop good habits, but it is easy to be maintained. To have the habit of doing right now, the most important thing is to have a pro-active spirit, the spirit of undisciplined kick the habit, we must resolve to be a pro-active people who need the courage to do something, do not wait until after everything is ready to do, always there is no absolute the perfect thing. Cultivate the habit of action, no special wisdom or specialized skills, just hard work, so that good habits in life can bear fruit. Son, life is a great battle, in order to win, you need to take action, action, always action! In this way, your security will be guaranteed. I wish Merry Christmas! I do not think at this point than to give you this letter, the better Christmas gift. Love your father, taken from the Now just do it
