We’re Just Beginning“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.
翻譯:一切剛剛開始
“我們正在讀一本書的第一章第一行,這本書的頁數(shù)是無限的……”
我不知道是誰寫的,可我很喜歡這句話,它提醒我們未來是由自己創(chuàng)造的。我們可以把神秘、不可知的未來塑造成我們想象中的任何模樣,猶如雕刻家將未成形的石頭刻成雕像。英語勵志短文
我們每個人都像是農(nóng)夫。灑下良種將有豐收,播下劣種或生滿野草便將毀去收成。沒有耕耘則會一無所獲。
我希望未來比過去更加美好,希望未來不會沾染歷史的錯誤與過失。我們都應(yīng)舉目向前,因我們的余生要用未來書寫。
往昔已逝,靜如止水;我們無法再作改變。而前方的未來正生機(jī)勃勃;我們所做的每一件事都將會影響著它。只要我們認(rèn)識到這些,無論是在家中還是在工作上,每天我們的面前都會展現(xiàn)出新的天地。在人類致力開拓的每一片領(lǐng)域上,我們正站在進(jìn)步的起跑點(diǎn)。
The Power of the DreamWhen 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 cherish 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(diǎn),我們脫胎換骨,煥然一新。孤獨(dú)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(diǎn)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。
