赞扬的益处
It was the end of my exhausting first day as a waitress in a busy New York restaurant. My cap had gone awry, my apron was stained, my feet ached. The loaded trays I carried felt heavier and heavier. Weary and discouraged, I didn't seem able to do anything right. As I made out a complicated check for a family with several children who had changed their ice-cream order a dozen times, I was ready to quit.
我在纽约一家繁忙餐馆做女招待的第一天就要结束了，我感到精疲力尽。我的帽子歪了，围裙上污迹斑斑，两脚疼痛难忍。盛着食物的托盘让我感觉越来越沉重。我又疲倦又沮丧，似乎什么事情都没能干好。有一个带着好几个小孩的人家，他们在要冰激凌时换来换去多达十几次，就在我为他们开好复杂和账单时，我准备辞职不干了。
Then the father smiled at me as he handed me tip. "Well done," he said. "You've looked after us really well."
这时，那位当父亲一边把小费递给我，一边对我微笑。“干得不错，”他说，“你对我们照顾得真周到。”
Suddenly my tiredness vanished. I smiled back, and later, when the manager asked me how I'd liked my first day, I said, "Fine!" Those few words of praise had changed everything.
顿时，我的倦意消失了。我对他也报以微笑。后来，经理问我第一天上班的感觉时，我说：“好极了！”那不多的几个赞美之辞改变了一切。
美文赏析:完美人生四大梦
完美人生是什么样子呢？伯恩·崔西（Brian Tracy）告诉我们，以下四大梦想成就完美人生：
Healthy and Fit
健康有活力
The first goal common to all of us is health and energy. We all want to be healthy and fit, to have high levels of energy and to live free of pain and illness. Today, with the incredible advances in medical science, the quality of our health and fitness, and our lifespan, is largely determined by design, not by chance. People with excellent health habits are far healthier, have more energy, and live longer and better than people who have poor health habits.
人生的第一个大梦就是身体健康、精力充沛。每个人都希望自己健康，远离病苦病痛、精神舒畅、活力无穷。今天的医学发达，人类可以藉由良好的规划和调理，活得更健康、更长久。有良好生活习惯的人，比起那些糟蹋自己身体的人，能活得更健康、精力更旺盛。
Excellent Relationships
人际关系良好
The second goal that we all have in common is to enjoy excellent relationships--intimate, personal or social--with the people we like and respect, and who like, love and respect us in turn. Fully 85% of your happiness will be determined by the quality of your relationships at each stage, and in each area, of your life. How well you get along with people, and how much they like, love and respect you, has more impact on the quality of your life than perhaps any other factor.
人生的第二大梦就是完美的人际关系，与亲人、朋友和同事，以及社会上一般人融洽相处、互动良好。我们爱且尊敬他人，而他人也爱且尊敬我们。人们在任何一个人生阶段或居住在任何一个地区是否觉得幸福快乐，其中有百分之八十五取决于融洽的人际关系。你与他人相处的情形，他人是否喜欢你、爱你、尊重你，构成了你是否觉得幸福快乐的关键因素。
Do What You Love
从事自己喜欢的工作
The third common goal is to do work that we enjoy, to do it well, and to be well paid for it. You want to be able to get and keep the job you want, to get paid more and promoted faster. You want to earn the very most that is possible for you at each stage of your career, whatever you do.
人生的第三个大梦就是做自己喜欢的工作，而且表现出色、薪酬优厚。每个人都希望从事自己喜欢的行业，拥有喜欢的工作、获得升迁、领取丰厚薪水和奖金。不论从事哪一个行业，每个人都希望在每一个职场阶段尽量赚取更多财富。
Achieve Financial Independence
财务独立
The fourth goal we all have in common is to achieve financial independence. You want to reach the point in life where you have enough money so that you never have to worry about money again. You want to be completely free of financial worries. You want to be able to order dinner in a restaurant without using the price listings to determine what you want to eat.
人生的第四个大梦就是达到财务独立。你希望能赚取相当数量的财富，一辈子都无须为钱烦恼。走进任何一家餐厅，你可以随心所欲第点餐享用，而无须留意价目表上的数字。
以上四大梦想您完成了多少呢？不管怎样，还是要记住那句话：If you can dream it, you can achieve it! 敢于梦想，就能实现！
英语美文 人生的十大法则
the rules for being human
1. You will receive a body.
You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period.
1.你将拥有一个躯体。
你可以喜之也可以恶之，但它毕生都会属于你。
2. You will learn lessons.
You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life. Each day in this school you will learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.
2.你将接受教育。
你入读了一所叫做"生活"的大学的全日制非正式学校。在学校的每一天你都将接受教育。你可以爱你所爱或者视之无聊而又豪无裨益。
3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.
Growth is a process of trial and error: Experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".
3.没有过失，只有教训。
成长就是反复"尝试-犯错"的渐进过程，或者说是实验。那些所谓"失败"的实验和最终"奏效"的实验一样重要，都是这个过程的一部分。
4. A lesson is repeated until learned.
A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. Once learned, you then go on to the next lesson.
4.同样的教训会不断重复直到你真正领悟为止。
同样的教训会以不同的形式不断出现在你面前直到你学会为止。而一旦你学会了，就会马上进入下一课的学习。
5. Learning lessons does not end.
There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.
5.学无止境。
生活的每个部分无不包含可学之处。只要活着，你就学无止境。
6. "There" is no better than "here".
When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here".
当你终于拥有了不曾拥有的东西，你只会发现自己又在向往别的东西，它们看起来总比你拥有的东西要好些。
7. Others are merely mirrors of you.
You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.
7.他人只是你的镜子。
不要去爱慕或憎恶别人的品性，除非这些品性在你自己身上也能找到，而你以同样的态度处之。
8. What you make of your life is up to you.
You have all the tools and resources you need.
What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.
8.要过怎样的生活由你作主。
你掌握着陆一切你所需的工具和资源，怎么用全由你作主。决策权在你手中。
9. The answers to Life's questions lie inside you.
All you need to do is look, listen and trust.
9.生活的答案皆藏心中。
你只须观察，聆听和信任。
10. You will forget all of this.
10.生活中你会忘记所有这些准则。
