ll make. 青春励志英语作文120词 YOUTH Samuel Ullman 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, vigor of the emotions;
it is the freshness of the deep spring 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. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusia *** wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike 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, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynici *** and the ice of pessimi *** , then you‘ve grown old, even at 20. But as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimi *** , there is hope you may die young at 80. 青春励志英语作文300-500字单词简单 How I Learn English To a Chinese,the task of learning English well is not easy.So I,like many other English learners,have met with difficulties in learning English during the past seven years.But I managed to overe them and made much progress. The spelling and meaning of words can be said to be the first difficulty I met as a beginner.But I found my own way to deal with them.As to spelling,I never copied a new work again and again to remember it,but tried to find its relevance to the sound.【irrelevant adj.】 In fact,as long as I can read the word out,I can write it out.As to the meaning,I rarely recite its Chinese translation but often put the word into the sentence to learn its meaning.Moreover,if you use a word quite often,its spelling and meaning will be no problem.After all,we are learning English in order to use it. Grammar and idioms may be another difficulty.But I have also got over it.I have not read lots of grammar books.But I spent much time reading the articles written by native speakers or specialists in English.By doing so,I came to gain “a sense of English language”.I began to gain a feel for which sentences are “good English” and which are not. Finally,I want to say that overing all these difficulties requires perseverance.In the past seven years I spent at least an hour on English each day.I believe this is an important reason why I am able to make progress in learning English. 青春励志英语句子 1、Great minds have purpose, others have wishes. 杰出的人有着目标，其他人只有愿望。

励志英文文章
励志文章可以陶冶情操，丰富想象，还可以培养学生对语言文字的兴趣，有益于培养他们的英语素养。
下面我精心收集了励志英文文章，供大家欣赏学习! 励志英文文章篇(一) An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer (contractor) of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by. 一位老木匠打算退休了。
他向自己所在的建筑公司雇主请辞，表示想要和自己的老伴以及大家庭去过一种更加闲适的生活。
他会想念领薪水的日子，但他还是该退休了，他想日子总是能过下去的。
The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and usedinferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career. 老板很舍不得自己的好员工离开，他对木匠说请你再建最后一座房子吧，就算是帮我个忙。
木匠答应了，但很快就明显可以看出他的心已经不在工作上了。
他用拙劣的.技巧和劣质的材料建这座房子，用这种状态来结束他的职业生涯其实是一种遗憾。
When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "
This is your house,"
he said, "
my gift to you."
木匠完成了他的工作，负责人来验收房屋，老板将这座房屋的前门钥匙递到了木匠手上，说：“这房子现在归你了，作为我给你的礼物。
” What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well. 木匠顿时感到很震惊。
多可惜啊!如果他知道是在为自己修建这所房子的话，他会完全以另一种态度来对待。
而现在他不得不住在这座自己胡乱修建的房子里了。
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently. 想象一下你就是这个木匠，想象你正在建造这座房子，你每天钉进一颗钉子、安装一块板子或者筑起一面墙。
请用心对待吧，这是唯一一个你为自己打造的生活。
即使你只在里面住上一天，这一天也要活得有光彩、有尊严。
正如格言所说，“生活是一个只有靠自己才能完成的项目。
” Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and withdignity. The plaque on the wall says, "
Life is a do-it-yourself project."
谁还能说的再清楚些呢?你今天的生活就是你自己过去的态度和选择的结果，你未来的生活就是你现在的态度和选择的结果。
Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today. 励志英文文章(二) A man had a little daughter—an only and much-loved child. He lived for her—she was his life. So when she became ill， he became like a man possessed， moving heaven and earth to bring about her restoration to health. 一个男人有一个小女儿，那是唯一的孩子，他深深地爱着她，为她而活，她就是他的生命。
所以，当女儿生病时，他像疯了一般竭尽全力想让她恢复健康。
His best efforts， however， proved unavailing and the child died. The father became a bitter recluse， shutting himself away from his many friends and refusing every activity that might restore his poise and bring him back to his normal self. But one night he had a dream. 然而，他所有的努力都无济于事，女儿还是死了。
父亲变得痛苦遁世，避开了许多朋友，拒绝参加一切能使他恢复平静，回到自我的活动。
但有一天夜里，他做了一个梦。
He was in heaven， witnessing a grand pageant of all the little child angels. They were marching in a line passing by the Great White Throne. Every white-robed angelic child carried a candle. He noticed that one child‘s candle was not lighted. Then he saw that the child with the dark candle was his own little girl. Rushing to her， he seized her in his arms， caressed her tenderly， and then asked， “How is it， darling， that your candle alone is unlighted?” “Daddy， they often relight it， but your tears always put it out.” 他到了天堂，看到所有的小天使都身穿白色天使衣，手里拿着一根蜡烛。
他注意到有一个小天使的蜡烛没有点亮。
随后，他看到那个拿着没有点亮的蜡烛的小天使是自己的女儿。
他奔过去，一把将女儿抱在怀里，亲切地爱抚着她，然后问道：“宝贝儿，为什么只有你的蜡烛没有点亮呢?”“爸爸，他们经常重新点亮蜡烛，可是你的眼泪总是把它熄灭。
” Just then he awoke from his dream. The lesson was crystal clear， and its effects were immediate. From that hour on he was not a recluse， but mingled freely and cheerfully with his former friends and associates. No longer would his darling‘s candle be extinguished by his useless tears. 就在这时，他从梦中醒来。
梦给他上的一课像水晶般透明，而且立竿见影。
从那个时刻起，他不再消极遁世，而是自由自在，兴高采烈的回到从前的朋友和同事们中间。
宝贝女儿的蜡烛再也没有被他无用的眼泪熄灭过。

And I will always remember taking you to the playground, and watching you having so much fun. You were so cute and adorable, and that is why everybody loved you so. 我会永远记得第一次将你抱在臂弯的那一刻，一种新鲜激动的感觉瞬间触动了我的心，那是一种永远让我陶醉的感觉，就是那种将我们的一生都联结在一起的“父女情结”。
我也常常想起我唱着催眠曲轻摇你入睡，当我把你放下的时候，常常觉得既解脱又惋惜，一方面我想，她终于睡着了!另一方面，我又多么希望自己可以多抱你一会儿。
我还记得带你到运动场，看着你玩得那么开心，你是那样可爱，所有人都非常爱你。
You have been a great kid ever since you were born, always quiet, empathetic, attentive, and well-mannered. You were three when we built our house. I remember you quietly followed us every weekend for more than ten hours a day to get building supplies. You put up with that boring period without a fuss, happily ate hamburgers every meal in the car, sang with Barney until you fell asleep. When you went to Sunday Chinese school, you studied hard even though it was no fun for you. I cannot believe how lucky we are as parents to have a daughter like you. 你不但长得可爱，而且是个特别乖巧的孩子。
你从不吵闹、为人着想，既听话又有礼貌。
当你三岁我们建房子的时候，每个周末十多个小时你都静静地跟着我们去运建筑材料，三餐在车上吃着汉堡，唱着儿歌，唱累了就睡觉，一点都不娇气不抱怨。
你去上周日的中文学习班时，尽管一点也不觉得有趣，却依然很努力。
我们做父母的能有像你这样的女儿真的感到非常幸运。
You have been an excellent elder sister. Even though you two had your share of fights, the last few years you have become best friends. Your sister loves you so much, and she loves to make you laugh. She looks up to you, and sees you as her role model. As you saw when we departed, she misses you so much. And I know that you miss her just as much. There is nothing like family, and other than your parents, your sister is the one person who you can trust and confide in. She will be the one to take care of you, and the one you must take care of. There is nothing we wish more than that your sisterhood will continue to bond as you grow older, and that you will take care of each other throughout your lives. For the next four years, do have a short video chat with her every few days, and do email her when you have a chance. 你也是个很好的姐姐。
虽然你们姐妹以前也会打架，但是长大后，你们真的成为了好朋友。
妹妹很爱你，很喜欢逗你笑，她把你当成她的榜样看待。
我们开车离开哥大后，她非常想你，我知道你也很想她。
世界上最宝贵的就是家人。
和父母一样，妹妹就是你最可以信任的人。
随着年龄的增长，你们姐妹之间的情谊不变，你们互相照应，彼此关心，这就是我最希望见到的事情了。
在你的大学四年，有空时你一定要常常跟妹妹视频聊聊天，写写电子邮件。
College will be the most important years in your life. It is in college that you will truly discover what learning is about. You often question "
what good is this course"
. I encourage you to be inquisitive, but I also want to tell you: "
Education is what you have left after all that is taught is forgotten."
What I mean by that is the materials taught isn'
t as important as you gaining the ability to learn a new subject, and the ability to analyze a new problem. That is really what learning in college is about – this will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn'
t critical for your life, the skills of learning will be something you cherish forever. 大学将是你人生最重要的时光，在大学里你会发现学习的真谛。
你以前经常会问到 “这个课程有什么用”，这是个好问题，但是我希望你理解：“教育的真谛就是当你忘记一切所学到的东西之后所剩下的东西。
”我的意思是，最重要的不是你学到的具体的知识，而是你学习新事物和解决新问题的能力。
这才是大学学习的真正意义——这将是你从被动学习转向自主学习的阶段，之后你会变成一个很好的自学者。
所以，即便你所学的不是生活里所急需的，也要认真看待大学里的每一门功课，就算学习的技能你会忘记，学习的能力是你将受用终身的。
Do not fall into the trap of dogma. There is no single simple answer to any question. Remember during your high school debate class, I always asked you to take on the side that you don'
t believe in? I did that for a reason -- things rarely "
black and white"
, and there are always many ways to look at a problem. You will become a better problem solver if you recognized that. This is called "
critical thinking"
, and it is the most important thinking skill you need for your life. This also means you need to become tolerant and supportive of others. I will always remember when I went to my Ph.D. advisor and proposed a new thesis topic. He said "
I don'
t agree with you, but I'
ll support you."
After the years, I have learned this isn'
t just flexibility, it is encouragement of critical thinking, and an empowering style of leadership, and it has become a part of me. I hope it will become a part of you too. 不要被教条所束缚，任何问题都没有一个唯一的简单的答案。
还记得当我帮助你高中的辩论课程时，我总是让你站在你不认可的那一方来辩论吗?我这么做的理由就是希望你能够理解：看待一个问题不应该非黑即白，而是有很多方法和角度。
当你意识到这点的时候，你就会成为一个很好的解决问题者。
这就是“批判的思维”——你的'
一生都会需要的最重要的思考方式，这也意味着你还需要包容和支持不同于你的其他观点。
我永远记得我去找我的博士导师提出了一个新论题，他告诉我：“我不同意你，但我支持你。
”多年后，我认识到这不仅仅是包容，而是一种批判式思考，更是令人折服的领导风格，现在这也变成了我的一部分。
我希望这也能成为你的一部分。
Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don'
t be trapped in what others think or say. Steve Jobs says when you are in college, your passion will create many dots, and later in your life you will connect them. In his great speech given at Stanford commencement, he gave the great example where he took calligraphy, and a decade later, it became the basis of the beautiful Macintosh fonts, which later ignited desktop publishing, and brought wonderful tools like Microsoft Word to our lives. His expedition into calligraphy was a dot, and the Macintosh became the connecting line. So don'
t worry too much about what job you will have, and don'
t be too utilitarian, and if you like Japanese or Korean, go for it, even if your dad thinks "
it'
s not useful"
: ) Enjoy picking your dots, and be assured one day you will find your calling, and connect a beautiful curve through the dots. 在大学里你要追随自己的激情和兴趣，选你感兴趣的课程，不要困扰于别人怎么说或怎么想。
史蒂夫乔布斯曾经说过，在大学里你的热情会创造出很多点，在你随后的生命中你会把这些点串联起来。
在他著名的斯坦福毕业典礼演讲中，他举了一个很好的例子：他在大学里修了看似毫无用处的书法，而十年后，这成了苹果Macintosh里漂亮字库的基础，而因为Macintosh有这么好的字库，才带来了桌面出版和今天的办公软件(例如微软Office)。
他对书法的探索就是一个点，而苹果Macintosh把多个点联结成了一条线。
所以不要太担心将来你要做什么样的工作，也不要太急功近利。
假如你喜欢日语或韩语，就去学吧，即使你爸爸曾认为那没什么用：)尽兴地选择你的点吧，要有信念有一天机缘来临时，你会找到自己的人生使命，画出一条美丽的曲线。
Do your best in classes, but don'
t let pressure get to you. Your mother and I have no expectations for your grades. If you graduate and learn something in your four years, we would feel happy. Your Columbia degree will take you far, even if you don'
t graduate with honors. So please don'
t give yourself pressure. During your last few months in high school, you were so happy because there was little pressure and college applications are finished. But in the past few weeks, we saw you are beginning to worry (did you know you bite your nails when you are nervous?). Please don'
t be worried. The only thing that matters is that you learned. The only metric you should use is that you tried. Grades are just silly letters that give the vain people something to brag, and the lazy people something to fear. You are too good to be either. 在功课上要尽力，但不要给自己太多压力。
你妈妈和我在成绩上对你没什么要求，只要你能顺利毕业并在这四年里学到了些东西，我们就会了。
即便你毕业时没有获得优异的成绩，你的哥伦比亚学位也将带你走得很远。
所以别给自己压力。
在你高中生活的最后几个月，因为压力比较小，大学申请也结束了，你过得很开心，但是在最近的几个星期，你好像开始紧张起来。
(你注意到你紧张时会咬指甲吗?)千万别担心，最重要的是你在学习，你需要的唯一衡量是你的努力程度。
成绩只不过是虚荣的人用以吹嘘和慵懒的人所恐惧的无聊数字而已，而你既不虚荣也不慵懒。
Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life, because during college you are closer to them physically than to your family. Also, going through independence and adulthood is a natural bonding experience. Pick a few friends and become really close to them – pick the ones who are genuine and sincere to you. Don'
t worry about their hobbies, grades, looks, or even personalities. You have developed some real friendships in high school in your last two years, so trust your instinct, and make new friends. You are a genuine and sincere person – anyone would enjoy being your friend, so be confident, outgoing, and pro-active. If you think you like someone, tell her. You have very little to lose. Give people the benefit of the doubt;
don'
t stereotype and be forgiving. People are not perfect, so as long as they are genuine and sincere, trust them and be good to them. They will give back. This is my secret of success – that I am genuine with people and trust them (unless they do something to lose my trust). Some people tell me that occasionally I would be taken advantage of. They are right, but I can tell you that that loss is nothing compared to what I gained. In my last 18 years leading people, I have realized that only one thing matters – to gain the trust and respect of others, and to do so, you need to trust and respect others first. Whether it is for management, work, or friendship, this is something you should ponder. 最重要的是在大学里你要交一些朋友，快乐生活。
大学的朋友往往是生命中最好的朋友，因为在大学里你和朋友能够近距离交往。
另外，在一块儿成长，一起独立，很自然地你们就会紧紧地系在一起，成为密友。
你应该挑选一些真诚诚恳的朋友，跟他们亲近，别在乎他们的爱好、成绩、外表甚至性格。
你在高中的最后两年已经交到了一些真正的朋友，所以尽可以相信自己的直觉，再交一些新朋友吧。
你是一个真诚的人，任何人都会喜欢跟你做朋友的，所以要自信、外向、主动一点，如果你喜欢某人，就告诉她，就算她拒绝了，你也没有损失什么。
以最大的善意去对人，不要有成见，要宽容。
人无完人，只要他们很真诚，就信任他们，对他们友善。
他们将给你相同的回报，这是我成功的秘密——我以诚待人，信任他人(除非他们做了失信于我的事)。
有人告诉这样有时我会被占便宜，他们是对的，但是我可以告诉你：以诚待人让我得到的远远超过我失去的。
在我做管理的18年里，我学到一件很重要的事——要想得到他人的信任和尊重，只有先去信任和尊重他人。
无论是管理、工作、交友，这点都值得你参考。
Do keep your high school friends, and stay connected to them, but do not use them as substitutes for college friendship, and do not spend too much time with them, because that would eat into your time to make new friends. 要和你高中时代的朋友保持联系，但是不要用他们来取代大学的友谊，也不要把全部的时间都花在老朋友身上，因为那样你就会失去交新朋友的机会了。
Start planning for your summers early – what would you like to do? Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? What have you learned in college that might change your mind? I think your plan of studying fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get into the right courses. We of course hope you come back to Beijing, but you should go where you think is best for you. 你还要早点开始规划你的暑假——你想做什么?你想呆在哪儿?你想学点什么?你在大学里学习是否会让你有新的打算?我觉得你学习艺术设计的计划很不错，你应该想好你该去哪儿学习相应的课程。
我们当然希望你回到北京，但是最终的决定是你的。
Whether it is summer-planning, or coursework planning, or picking a major, or managing your time, you should take control of your life. In the past, I have helped you quite a bit, whether it is in college application, designing your extracurricular activities, or picking the initial coursework. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver'
s seat – this is your life, and you need to be in control. I will always remember the exhilarating feeling in my life – that I got to decide to skip kindergarten, that I got to decide to change to computer science major, that I got to decide to leave academia for Apple, that I got to decide to go to China, that I got to decide to go to Google, and most recently, that I got to decide to start my own business. Being able to decide means you get to live the life that you want to. Life is too short to live the life others do or others want you. Being in control feels great. Try it, and you'
ll love it! 不管是暑假计划，功课规划，抑或是选专业，管理时间，你都应该负责你的人生。
过去不管是申请学校、设计课外活动或者选择最初的课程，我都从旁帮助了你不少。
以后，我仍然会一直站你身旁，但是现在是你自己掌舵的时候了。
我常常记起我生命中那些令人振奋的时刻——在幼儿园决定跳级，决定转到计算机科学专业，决定离开学术界选择Apple，决定回中国，决定选择Google，乃至最近选择创办我的新公司。
有能力进行选择意味着你会过上自己想要的生活。
生命太短暂了，你不能过别人想要你过的生活。
掌控自己的生命是很棒的感觉，试试吧，你会爱上它的! I told your mom I'
m writing this letter, and asked what she wanted me to say. She thought and said: "
just ask her to take care of herself."
Simple but deeply caring – that is how your mother is, and that is why you love her so much. In this simple sentence is her hope that you will become independent in the way you take care of yourself – that you will remember to take your medicine, that you will get enough sleep, that you will have a balanced diet, that you will get some exercise, and that you will go see a doctor whenever you don'
t feel good. An ancient Chinese proverb says that the most important thing to be nice to your parents is to take care of yourself. This is because your parents love you so much, and that if you are well, they will have comfort. You will understand this one day when you become a mother. But in the meantime, please listen to your mother and take care of yourself. 我告诉你妈妈我在写这封信，问她有什么想对你说的，她想了想，说“让她好好照顾自己”，很简单却饱含着真切的关心——这一向是你深爱的妈妈的特点。
这短短的一句话，是她想提醒你很多事情，比如要记得自己按时吃药，好好睡觉，保持健康的饮食，适量运动，不舒服的时候要去看医生等等。
中国有句古语，说“身体发肤，受之父母，不敢毁伤，孝之始也”。
这句话的意思用比较新的方法诠释就是说：父母最爱的就是你，所以照顾好自己就是孝顺最好的方法。
当你成为母亲的那天，你就会理解这些。
在那天之前，听妈妈的，你一定要好好照顾自己。
College is the four years where you have: the greatest amount of free time 大学是你自由时间最多的四年。
the first chance to be independent 大学是你第一次学会独立的四年。
the most flexibility to change 大学是可塑性最强的四年。
the lowest risk for making mistakes 大学是犯错代价最低的四年。
So please treasure your college years – make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, evolve yourself into a bi-cultural talent, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges. 所以，珍惜你的大学时光吧，好好利用你的空闲时间，成为掌握自己命运的独立思考者，发展自己的多元化才能，大胆地去尝试，通过不断的成功和挑战来学习和成长，成为融汇中西的人才。
When I faced the greatest challenge and opportunity in my life in 2005, you gave me a big hug and said "
bonne chance"
, which means "
good luck"
and "
good courage"
. Now I do the same for you. Bonne chance, my angel and princess. May Columbia become the happiest four years in your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be. 当我在2005年面对人生最大的挑战时，你给了我大大的拥抱，还跟我说了一句法语“bonne chance”。
这句话代表“祝你勇敢，祝你好运!”现在，我也想跟你说同样的话，bonne chance，我的天使和公主，希望哥伦比亚成为你一生中最快乐的四年，希望你成为你梦想成为的人! Love, 爱你的， Dad (& Mom) 爸爸(和妈妈)。
