  心有多大,天地就有多大

  心有多大,天地就有多大?是的,不要怀疑!有人兴许认为这是一句疯话,听起来类似于咱们在社会主义改造时说过的一句话:“人有多大胆,地有多大产。”不过,这里是强调一股执着的追求、一颗勇敢的心!大胆地在自己选择的道路上疯狂、执着、勇敢地走下去!

  还记得李阳疯狂英语中所倡导的“疯狂信念”吗?“伟大的时代给每个人伟大的机会!你的命运掌握在你的手中!淋漓尽致地弘扬你的生命吧!因为这个世界上只有一个你!你在这个世界上只走一回!为什么要怕丢脸?人死了以后不过是一堆灰,脸面又算得了什么呢?丢脸是多么珍贵的人生体验:正是因为丢脸,你学到了最难学到的知识和经验;正是因为丢脸,你获得实力的迅速成长和人格的全面锻炼。亲爱的朋友们,感激所有给你机会丢脸的人,抓住每一个丢脸的机会!请让我丢脸吧!”

  拿出你的勇气来,拿出你的野心来!有人说,人之所以没有翅膀,是因为他有思想。那么,让我们思想的翅膀带我们去天空自由飞翔吧!让思想无限!

  一个人在他的日记中写道:

  今天,我牵着小狗在海滩上散步时,遇见一对来自西部已退休的夫妇。他们对俄亥俄海岸赞不绝口。

  “这片海滩真令人神往啊!”老妇人说,“可惜我们10年前没有下决心在这儿买一幢别墅。”

  “现在觉得太晚了?”我问道。

  “是,那时买会便宜得多呢!”

  我不知道他们是宁愿守着一块并不喜爱的地方生活,还是会尝试一下危险与挑战?如果我早就和他们认识的话,我肯定会劝他们勇敢地去试一下,免得像现在一样后悔不迭。

  曾经有人说过:多数人是在失望中度过终生的。可是在期盼中度过一生,岂不更有意义?你所需付出的仅仅是让你的生活态度有意识地改变。曾听过多少感慨“要是早点……生活就会大不同了!”并总是大谈如果他做了什么,那他的生活会怎么样,然而他们却什么也没做过,一切只是空谈。

  有一次,上帝把1、2、3、4、5、6、7、8、9、O十个数字摆出来,让面前十个人去取,说道:“一个人只能取一个。”

  人们争先恐后地拥上去,把9、8、7、6、5、4、3都抢走了。

  取到2和1的人,都说自己的运气不好,得到很少很少。

  可是有一个人却是心甘情愿地取走了0。

  别人说他傻:“拿0有什么用?”

  别人笑他痴:“0是什么也没有呀!要它干啥?”

  这个人说:“从0开始嘛!”说完便一言不发,埋头苦干起来。

  他获得1,有O便有了10;他获得5,有O便成了50。他一心一意地干着,一步一步地向前走。

  他把0加在他获得的数字后面,便十倍十倍地增加。他终于成了最富有的、最成功的人。

  记不清我们的身边有过多少这样的事例,真是不胜枚举。他们成功了,因为他们的勇气和意志。渴望生活美好的人们,请让我们开始吧!

  Love What You Do, Do What You Love 爱你所做,做你所爱

  Life is short. Are you doing what you love? Are you living your passion? Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith.

  If not, why? I am guessing most people will answer that question with "I have a mortgage, a spouse and three kids to support.” In the real world people have responsibilities. They have to make sacrifices. You aren't supposed to be happy with your job but you do it because you have to."

  With all due respect, they are wrong. You can take care of your responsibilities and be happy with your job. We spend over 1/3 of our day, at least five days a week performing our jobs. This is a lot of time to be wasting on something we don't enjoy, is it not? Why not spend that time doing something you truly are passionate about for 50 hours a week instead of something that lacks meaning?

  I think there is one main reason people don't follow their passion: fear. Fear of how others will react, fear of failure, and fear that they can't do it themselves. I think the first part is for people to realize that they can conquer their fear. You will fail at times and others will think you are crazy at times, but if you believe that you will succeed than you ultimately will.

  I understand that it is not easy. I am in the middle of going through it right now. But understand that there are other people out there who have been through what you are going through and can help you immensely. They have failed, been ridiculed, and come out on the other end extremely successful. They are living proof that you can do what you love.

  生命短暂。你是否正在做着你所热爱的事情?你是否生活在激情中?

  如果不是,那是为什么呢?我猜测大多数人将会这样回答:我有贷款、伴侣和三个孩子的生活负担。活在这真实的世界里,人们是有着责任,不得不做出牺牲。人们并不是因为快乐而工作,而是因为不得不工作而工作。

  对此人们都带着应有尊敬,可错了。因为你可以在兼顾责任的同时愉快地工作。至少每周五天,每天超过1/3的时间,被我们拿来完成我们的工作。看起来我们把很多时间浪费在我们并不乐在其中的事情里了,不是吗?那么为什么不把每周的这50多个小时过得充满激情,而不是缺乏意义呢?

  我想人们不愿追随激情的一个主要的原因是:恐惧。害怕其他人的反应,害怕失败,害怕自己不能达成所愿。我认为,人们首先需要做的就是克服内心的恐惧。有时候你会失败,而人们也会因此而认为你很疯狂,但如果你坚信你将成功,胜利就将属于你。

  我明白做到这样并不容易。我也正在加入到这项实贱中来。可要明白,那些已经经历过你现在正在经历的这个过程的人们,可以广泛地给你力量和支持。他们失败过,被嘲笑过,最终却走到了结果的另一头,他们完全成功了!他们给你提供了你可以做你所爱的证据。

  If by Rudyard Kipling 如果 (拉迪亚德.吉普林)

  If you can keep your head when all about you

  Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

  If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

  But make allowance for their doubting too;

  If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

  Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

  Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

  And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

  If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

  If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

  If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

  And treat those two impostors just the same;

  If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

  Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

  Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

  And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

  If you can make one heap of all your winnings

  And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

  And lose, and start again at your beginnings

  And never breathe a word about your loss;

  If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

  To serv

  e your turn long after they are gone,

  And so hold on when there is nothing in you

  Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

  If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

  Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

  If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

  If all men count with you, but none too much;

  If you can fill the unforgiving minute

  With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,

  Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

  And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son.

  如果所有人都失去理智,咒骂你,

  你仍能保持头脑清醒;

  如果所有人都怀疑你,

  你仍能坚信自己,让所有的怀疑动摇;

  如果你要等待,不要因此厌烦,

  为人所骗,不要因此骗人,

  为人所恨,不要因此抱恨,

  不要太乐观,不要自以为是;

  如果你是个追梦人——不要被梦主宰;

  如果你是个爱思考的人——不要以思想者自居;

  如果你遇到骄傲和挫折,

  把两者当骗子看待;

  如果你能忍受,你曾讲过的事实

  被恶棍扭曲,用于蒙骗傻子;

  看着你用毕生去看护的东西被破坏,

  然后俯身,用破烂的工具把它修补;

  如果在你赢得无数桂冠之后,

  然后孤注一掷再搏一次,

  失败过后,东山再起,

  不要抱怨你的失败;

  如果你能迫使自己,

  在别人走后,长久坚守阵地,

  在你心中已空荡荡无一物,

  只有意志告诉你“坚持!”;

  如果你与人交谈,能保持风度,

  伴王同行,能保持距离;

  如果仇敌和好友都不害你;

  如果所有人都指望你,却无人全心全意;

  如果你花六十秒进行短程跑,

  填满那不可饶恕

  的一分钟——

  你就可以拥有一个世界,

  这个世界的一切都是你的!

  更重要的是,孩子,你是个顶天立地的人。
