In the 1950s, a female swimming athlete set a goal for herself.
二十世纪五十年代，一位女游泳运动员给自己定了一个目标。
She decided to swim across the English Channel before she retired.
她要在退役之前横渡英吉利海峡。
If she could make it, she would be the first person in the world who did it.
如果她成功做到的话，那她将是世界上的第一人。
On that day, she jumped into the sea without any hesitation and swam towards the oppostie bank.
到了那一天，她毅然决然地跳进了大海，向海峡对然游去。
In the journey, she faced https://www.doczj.com/doc/df10413222.html,/mai heavy fog, heavy rain and heavy waves. Though she was tired, she still carried on swimming.
在途中，她遇上了大雾，遇上了大雨，还遇上了汹涌的大浪，虽然很累，但她依然坚持向前游。
But in the end, she gave up.
然而，最终，她还是放弃了。
And what she didn't know at the moment she gave up was that the opposite bank was only 1 mile away.
而在她放弃的时候，她所不知道的是：她离对岸只有一英里了。
Later people had asked her about the reason. And she said: "The reason why I gave up is that I could not see the https://www.doczj.com/doc/df10413222.html,/?userid=160952994 destination which I was so closed to reach."
事后有人问她放弃的原因，她说：“我之所以放弃，是因为我看不到即将到达的目标。”
Too many success stories have been lecturing us about courage and persistence. But they never told us where to find courage and persistence.
有太多成功的故事都在强调勇气和坚持，然而，它们却从不告诉你勇气和坚持从哪里来。
You can only have courage when you know where your goal is. You can only manage to
persist when you know where your goal is.
只有当你知道目标在哪的时候，你才能真正有勇气，才能真正做到坚持。
And that's because only when https://www.doczj.com/doc/df10413222.html, you know where your goal is can you prepare yourself well mentally.
因为只有当你知道目标在哪的时候你才能做好心理准备。
Courage and persistence never fall from the sky.
坚持和勇气从来都不是天上掉下来的美好品质。
They come from weighing between input and output.
它们来自你对投入和产出的权衡。
A life without goals is like a ship without a compass. It goes nowhere.
没有目标的人生，就像没有罗盘的船，哪也去不了。
There is no courage or persistence in a life without goals.
在一个没有目标的人生里，根本没有所谓的勇气与坚持。

人生感悟美文赏析 导读：人生感悟美文赏析：人生，若只如初见 人生，若只如初见，我愿做一缕春风，吹醒世间万物。给草儿一个甜蜜的微笑，给柳条一个柔软的腰肢，给花儿一个幸福的绽放。我无法留住花的芬芳，但能将芬芳播洒人间，我无法留住花的缤纷，但能一睹花儿的风采。我是一缕春风，吹拂大地。 人生，若只如初见，我愿做一株小草。我向着太阳的方向，努力生长，用力吸吮春日的第一滴露珠，牢牢抓住大地母亲的双手。我不是一株随风倒的小草，而是一株屹立在山间，眺望远方的小草。我无法留住短暂的生命，但我经历了世间的一切美好。我是一株小草，紧握大地。 人生，若只如初见，我愿做一缕冬日的阳光，温暖人们的心灵，抚慰人们的心灵，给受冻的人们，送去温暖带走寒冷。我无法留住纷飞的雪花，但我会告诉人们：雪化了，春天即将来临。我是冬日的一缕阳光，照耀大地。 人生，若只如初见，我愿做一颗星，给黑暗中的人们指引方向。我努力散发光芒，为深夜中的你，照亮前方的路，我就是那不灭的明灯，你需要我便在。我无法留住夜空中闪闪的星，却能陪你一起领略夜空的美好。我是一颗星，照亮黑暗的大地。 我是一缕春风，春回大地：我是一株小草，奋力生长：我是一缕阳光，努力伸展：我是一颗星，闪闪发亮。一缕春风就是一种幸福，
一株小草就是一个生命，一缕阳光就是一份温暖，一颗星就是一道风景。 人生，若只如初见。我愿寻求一份坦然、一份释然，不必在意生命中的得与失，不必在意世间的浮华虚名，以一种“云淡风清”的态度看待人生 生命，是我们最好的遇见。生命是多姿多彩的，是如诗如画的，让我们用心品味生命，享受这美好的人生。 人生感悟美文赏析：莲心清韵 如若，守着一份简单而真实的.生活，用热情去拥抱灿烂阳光，缘浅缘深，从容而安然。你若安好，便是晴天。季节如安好，百花盛开艳。人身若安好，一世的情缘。 红尘缠绕深处，梦里繁花似锦。落英虽然有意，流水本是无情。繁华岁月舔满了人生的悲欢离合，似景的流年有时成为一个梦，在命运的轨道中摇曳着。一盏孤灯，点儿微光，许许的城，在指尖曼妙中确成花，会在心灵里盛开着繁华。一缕墨香，舔润着一纸的美眷花暖。 在这季里，在热烈的阳光下，在转角之处，一个距离中，把失失落落的心一点点拾起拼凑，用一片绿意拥在心底，葱茏了温馨芬芳。用这盎然的绿给它滋润，用灿烂的花朵给它温暖。 人生的旅途，注定只是一条漫无边际的叉道。只是心如水域，随时可以停留，随时可以流失。在光阴的荏苒中，走过蒹葭苍茫。往事如烟，多少故人离去，多少回忆泛黄，多少情景随风飘散。游走人生，
Sun smile 阳光般的微笑 The sun shone brightly on the ground in front of her feet as she pondered the reality of light. 太阳光芒四射地照耀这她脚前这片大地。她在沉思，思考着阳光是怎么一回事: How did light get here? Who made it and why? 它是怎么来到这儿的?谁让它来的?来做什么? She instinctively stepped into the sun spot and instantly felt warmer, brighter, and fuller of life and energy. 她下意识地踏进阳光里，整个人立刻觉得暖和，清醒起来，浑身充满了生机和活力。 The sun wrapped her in comfort and stability for, if nothing else,she could always count on the sun waking her up most mornings. 阳光笼罩着她，她感到很舒服很踏实，如果没有其他事情，大多数早晨，她都会让阳光叫她起床。
Its predictable radiance felt like the mother she never had as her childhood was characterized more so by pain and heartache than comfort and love. 太阳那如期而至的光芒就像妈妈一样，虽然她从来就没有感受过母爱，她的童年记忆里满是痛苦和伤心，而不是关怀和爱。 She stepped out of the sunlight and felt that all-too-familiar anxious pang in the pit of her stomach as she remembered how horrible it was to live in her childhood home. 她从阳光里走出来，一阵再熟悉不过的恼人的悲痛袭击了她的胸口，让她回忆起童年时的可怕生活。 Memories flooded her mind as she unsuccessfully tried to block them out by thinking good thoughts. 她努力朝好的方面想，希望能抵挡住如洪水般泛滥的痛苦回忆，但是无济于事。 Oh how she wished she could curl up in the middle of the sun and allow its love to encase her for all eternity. 她是多么希望可以蜷缩在温暖的阳光里，让太阳的爱包裹着她直到永远。 But, no, she was stuck here on earth with those who didn't feel the sun's rays the same way she did,who didn't feel deeply connected to this amazing source of life. 然而，这是不可能的。她只能在这儿，和其他人一起。其他人不像她一样渴望阳光，也不曾觉得自己与这神奇的生命之源有什么紧密联系。 All she could do was stand in the sun on occasion and shut out the rest of the world for a little while. 她唯一能做的就是偶尔站在阳光里，和阳光以外的世界短暂地隔离。 Maybe if she stood here long enough they would cease to exist. 她想也许只要一直站在阳光里，外面的世界也就不复存在了。
人的一生，既不是想象中的那么好，也不是想象中的那么坏。每个人的背后都会有心酸，都会有无法言说的艰难。每个人都会有自己的泪要擦，都会有自己的路要走。只要记得，冷了给自己加件外衣；饿了给自己买个面包，痛了给自己一份坚强；失败了给自己一个目标，跌倒了在伤痛中爬起，给自己一个宽容的微笑继续往前走，做最真实的自己。 不要以自己的标准来要求别人，也不要戴着有色眼镜看人。因为每个人都有自己的喜好和个性以及价值。你看不惯的事情，并不一定就是不好。幸福的理解有千万种，每人的诠释也不同，人生最大的幸福就是可以做自己。相信自己，跟随自己的心灵和直觉，不盲从信条，不盲目攀比，你就是最幸福的。金无赤足，人无完人，因为不完美，我们才最真实。 幸福是一点一点积累的，是一天一天经营的。不要去伤害喜欢你的人，也不要让你喜欢的人受伤害。一个人就算再好，但不愿陪你到老，那他就是过客。一个人缺点再多，但能处处忍让你，愿意陪你到最后，就是幸福。人人都想找个十全十美的爱人，可人总有缺点。爱就是相互忍让，彼此真诚，共度一生。有个让你一辈子开心的人，才是生活的目标。 当一切拥有和执着成为一种伤害时，放弃便是最好的归宿。谁又能理解谁的多少痛苦；谁又能懂得谁的多少伤痛，泪，没挂在谁的脸上，谁不知道它的冰凉；伤，不在谁的身上，谁不知道它的分量，或许，你能看到眼中的泪花，却不一定能读懂心中的悲凉，或许，你能看到身上的伤疤，却不一定能理解心中的忧伤，在落泪以前转身离去，留下华丽的背影，让心灵轻松地上路。 遇人多了就知道友情的可贵。遇事多了就知道理解的可贵。失败多了就知道心态的可贵。成功多了就知道勇气的可贵。矛盾多了就知道胸怀的可贵。不顺眼多了就知道修养的可贵。恭维多了才知道真诚的可贵。名利多了才知道淡定的可贵。应酬多了才知道清净的可贵。问候多了才知道坚持的可贵！ 年轻时，不懂得；中年时，舍不得；有些东西，当你完全拥有时，才觉索然无味；有些东西，当你永远失去时，方知珍贵无比。人生苦短，要来得阻挡不了，要去的挽留不住。得失之间，只要你耕耘过，播种过，浇灌过，收获多少不是成败的唯一标准，重要的是藏在细枝末节里那种使你痛、使你恨、使你爱、使你终身难忘的一次次痛心疾首、刻骨铭心的经历。 人生就像一扇门，有人悲观于门内的黑暗，有人却乐观于门内的宁静；有人忧愁于门外的风雨，有人却快乐于门外的自由。其实，人生很多东西无所谓最好的，只要是你认为值得就是最好。成功与失败，

However much of a mess we seem to make of the world, it is people who have brought about all the progress we know, and I don't mean just material progress. All have been for-mulated and expressed by men and women. Even when people make mistakes it seems to me they usually make them from right motives. Most of us want to do good. I believe in people because I have seen a great many of them in different parts of the world. I would rather trust my own experience and observation than the cynical remarks of unhappy men. My belief not only has given me a happy life but has made possible any really useful work I have done. Of course I like people, too. As a newspaperman for twenty years in this country, Europe and Australia, I met all
人生哲理美文欣赏 境由心造 一个人的处境是苦是乐常是主观的。 有人安于某种生活，有人不能。因此能安于自已目前处境的不妨就如此生活下去，不能的只好努力另找出路。你无法断言哪里才是成功的，也无法肯定当自已到达了某一点之后，会不会快乐。有些人永远不会感到满足，他的快乐只建立在不断地追求与争取的过程之中，因此他的目标不断地向远处推移。这种人的快乐可能少，但成就可能大。 苦乐全凭自已判断，这和客观环境并不一定有直接关系，正如一个不爱珠宝的女人，即使置身在极其重视虚荣的环境，也无伤她的自尊。拥有万卷书的穷书生，并不想去和百万富翁交换钻石或股票。满足于田园生活的人也并不艳羡任何学者的荣誉头衔，或高官厚禄。 你的爱好就是你的方向，你的兴趣就是你的资本，你的性情就是你的命运。各人有各人理想的乐园，有自已所乐于安享的花花世界。 大和小 一位朋友谈到他亲戚的姑婆，一生从来没有穿过合脚的鞋子，常穿着巨大的鞋子走来走去。儿子晚辈如果问她，她就会说："大小鞋都是一样的价钱，为什么不买大的？" 每次我转述这个故事，总有一些人笑得岔了气。 其实，有生活里我们会看到很多这样的"姑婆"。没有什么思想的作家，偏偏写着厚重苦涩的作品；没有什么内容的画家，偏偏画着超级巨画；经常不在家的商人，却有非常巨大的家园。 许多人不断地追求巨大，其实只是被内在贪欲推动着，就好像买了特大号的鞋子，忘了自己的脚一样。 不管买什么鞋子，合脚最重要，不论追求什么，总要适可而止。 抉择 人的一生常处于抉择之中，如：念哪一所大学？选哪一种职业？娶哪一种女子？……等等伤脑筋的事情。一个人抉择力的有无，可以显示其人格成熟与否。 倒是哪些胸无主见的人，不受抉择之苦。因为逢到需要决定的时候，他总是求询别人说："嘿，你看怎么做？" 大凡能够成大功业的人，都是抉择力甚强的人。他知道事之成败，全在乎已没有人可以代劳，
英语美文欣赏 第一篇：A Grain of Sand 一粒沙子William Blake/威廉.布莱克To see a world in a grain of sand, And a heaven in a wild fllower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour. 从一粒沙子看到一个世界，从一朵野花看到一个天堂，把握在你手心里的就是无限，永恒也就消融于一个时辰。 第二篇：Love Your Life 热爱生活Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. 不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不
人生价值,活得精彩,要有理想: 生命可以归结为一种简单的选择:要么忙于生存,要么赶着去死。 活着不就是为活着而活着,生命就是一个过程,这个过程美好而又绚丽多彩。春天观察小草发出嫩绿的芽,很就是开心;夏天闻着君子兰飘来的淡淡清香,很就是悠哉;秋天体会丰收的喜悦,很就是知足;冬天瞧着“千里冰封,万里雪飘”很就是壮观。但这都不就是让我活着更好的理由。 苏联作家奥斯特洛夫斯基在小说《钢铁就是怎样炼成》当中写到:“人的一生应当这样度过:当回忆往事的时候,她不会因为虚度年华而悔恨,也不会因为碌碌无为而羞愧;在临死的时候,她能够说:我的整个生命与全部精力,都已经献给了世界上最壮丽的事业——为人类的解放而斗争。” 人活着就就是要做点什么,给世界留下一份美丽。岳飞留下了“待从头,收拾旧山河”的忠心,文天祥留下了“留取丹心在汉青”的志向,于谦发出了“粉骨碎身浑不怕,要留清白在人间”的呐喊。她们的人生都就是有意义的。生与死对她们来说已经不重要了。 人生的旅途也许有恶风险浪,沟沟坎坎,生命若活得浑浑噩噩,就像行尸走兽,大家要摒弃这种毫无意义的生活。要无论何时何地不忘自己的责任,不丢掉理想的追求,沿着自己的目标,活得光明磊落,扬起出征的风帆用有限的生命去做有价值的事,这才会使生命绽放光彩！生命如花,就让自己的生命花开时就是美好的,落时也就是美好的吧！把生命的花瓣,一瓣一瓣撒在人生的旅途上…… 为了人类自己,为了共同的社会,为了整个地球,让生命活得更有价值、更精彩,并让它飘出幽香吧！ 英雄的赞歌,骨气,意气 在长达几千年的中国历史上,涌现出无数的英雄。她们或守疆卫土,或敌御强敌,或驱逐外寇,或与腐败王朝殊死斗争,留下了伟大的英雄浩气,谱出了不朽的壮歌。这些满含英雄豪气的千古壮歌,如川江奔泻,如山峰屹立,感召着后人的壮志,鼓舞着后人们去拼搏,去创造更加辉煌的未来。这就是中华伟大民族精神的体现,更就是中华民族的本质。 骨气就就是孟子“富贵不能淫,贫贱不能移”的忠贞不渝。骨气就就是李白“安能摧眉折腰事权贵,使我不得开心颜”的傲岸不羁。骨气就就是于谦“粉身碎骨浑不怕,要留青白在人间”的刚强不屈。骨气就就是叶挺“人的身躯怎能从狗的洞子爬出”的凛然不惧。 宝剑锋从磨砺出,梅花香从苦寒来”这个人从不怕苦,吃得苦中苦,方为人上人。“黄师北定中原日,家祭无忘告乃翁”“醉里挑灯瞧剑”中国人不缺有志爱国志士,团结刻苦,永不认输。“山不在高,有仙则名;水不在深,有龙则灵。斯就是陋室,惟吾德馨。”文人骚客自古便有折她们的高风亮节,德馨就是她们的准则……“吾爱吾师,但更爱真理”中国人一直都不比遥远的西方国家笨,同样的时间,我们用我们专属的语言陈述着一样的真理！中国人我们用我们最精炼,优美的语句抒发着我们的对祖国的回报！ 智慧的结晶除了四大发明,怎么少得了儒家思想！孔子用她的儒教化了“人”何以为“人”。令世界知晓人非蛮夷,人需懂礼,品德行性的重要！韩国不就就是先借鉴了不？她将“礼”学习了,发展了,成了礼仪之国。别人的借鉴无疑就是对此的肯定！新加坡,一个小到只有我们的十万分之一的国家,她用从我们那学去的“礼”建立了一个家喻户晓的国家,即使她并没有辽阔的土地……而汉语在世界的各个角落正在发展,“全世界的在说中国话,孔夫子的话,越来越国际化……”我们就这样一路领先的用我们深厚的文化底蕴影响着世界……“三人行必有我师焉”“已所不欲,勿施于人”“有朋自远方来,不亦说乎”…… 善良
人生感悟经典美文推荐 生如梦，是漫长的，也是简短的。当这场梦醒来，人的一生将成为永远的回忆。回过头来，只有在这场梦中努力拚搏。下面是小编收集的关于人生的美文，希望大家认真阅读! 愿人生如水坦然生活不是战场，无需一较高下。人与人之间，多一份理解就会少一些误会;心与心之间，多一份包容，就会少一些纷争。 不要以自己的眼光和认知去评论一个人，判断一件事的对错。不要苛求别人的观点与你相同，不要期望别人能完全理解你，每个人都有自己的性格和观点。 人往往把自己看得过重才会患得患失，觉得别人必须理解自己。其实，人要看轻自己，少一些自我，多一些换位，才能心生快乐。所谓心有多大，快乐就有多少;包容越多，得到越多。 不要背后说人，不要在意被说。一无是处的人没得可说，越是出色的人越会被人说。世间没有不被评论的事，也没有不被评说的人。 别人的嘴我们无法去控制，但我们可以抱一颗淡然的心去看一切纷扰。心静才能听到万物的声音，心清才能看到万物的本质。 沉淀自己的心，静观事态变迁。与人相处，需要讲究方
式方法。有些事，需忍，勿怒;有些人，需让，勿究。 嘴上吃些亏又何妨，让他三分又如何。人人都需要被尊重，人人都渴望被理解。水深不语，人稳不言。学会淡下性子，学会忍住怒气面对不满。 事事不能太精，太精无路;待人不能太苛，太苛无友。懂得退让，方显大气;知道包容，方显大度。 己之短，不可藏，越藏越短;己之长，不可扬，越扬越少。得意时莫炫，失意时莫馁。花无百日红，人无百日衰，三分靠运，七分靠己，努力过就好，尽了心就行，结果不是最终的目的，过程的体会，才是最真的感悟。 凡事不求十分，只求尽心;万事不讲圆满，只求尽力。 有些事，努力一把才知道成绩，奋斗一下才知道自己的潜能。花淡故雅，水淡故真，人淡故纯。做人需淡，淡而久香。不争、不谄、不艳、不俗。 淡中真滋味，淡中有真香。心若无恙，奈我何其;人若不恋，奈你何伤。痛苦缘于比较，烦恼缘于心。 淡定，故不伤;淡然，故不恼。欲望是壶里沸腾的水，人心是杯子里的茶，水因为火的热量而沸腾，心因为杯体的清凉而不惊。当欲望遇凉，沉淀于心，便不烦，不恼。 不要嘲笑他人的努力，不要轻视他人的成绩。每个人的价值不同，无需对任何人不屑。在你眼中的无用价值，未必真的无用。不轻一人，不废一物。
Friends or 'Enemies?' When I was younger, my Dad used to tell me: "Boys don't want to be your friend." He then left the rest to my imagination. At the time, I didn't agree. I thought: I can crack a good joke, I know how to shoot a hoop, and I'm a cheerful person (but not in an annoying way). What kind of boy wouldn't want to be around that kind of girl? Turns out, my Dad was right. Not to be all "Samantha Brick" about it, but in my experience, single, heterosexual men aren't actively looking for an exclusively platonic relationship with a woman they find sexually attractive. This of course is not a revolutionary concept. In fact, it seems pretty natural to me. Now, I will be the first to say that it is really and truly the most wonderful thing in the world if the attraction is mutual. But the Powers That Be seem to like to play these complicated little mating games with humans where the guy we want to re-enact scenes from 9? Weeks with sees our attractiveness level as akin to that of a discarded dishcloth, and the most physical we could see ourselves being with the guy who actually likes us is a game of ping pong over an especially long table. All of which means that someone usually ends up getting rejected. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I have struggled with the scenario where I am not interested in a man romantically, but I want to keep him as a friend because he is funny and I enjoy his company, or he has shown himself to be that rare specimen known as "a nice, genuine person, " or he simply doesn't mention his therapist in every other sentence. Rather than string him along and give him hope, I feel compelled to somehow communicate to him sooner rather than later that we'll just be staying friends, nothing more. Otherwise, I think I am being unfair to him. Why should he waste his romantic stamina on me when there are loads of other single women out there who might fall instantly in love with him? The thing is, it can sometimes be tricky to reject a man and keep him as a friend. If the operation is not executed carefully, you may end up creating a "menemy." It requires a certain amount of skill to be able to turn down a man's sexual advances or romantic gestures and then get him to agree to meet you for blueberry pancakes the following weekend and chat about the latest Woody Allen film. Some men aren't satisfied with just that. I'm not clear why. What's so bad about friendship? Everyone needs buddies. But I've seen men react poorly or simply fall off the face of the earth. I get it -- their feelings are hurt. None of us likes getting rejected. But in my experience, some men find it especially soul-crushing. I am only bringing all of this up because I recently had to go through this scenario again. I had spent some time cultivating a friendship with a man who, in my defense, I thought was gay. So I didn't see the harm in him buying me the occasional falafel, or accepting an invitation to see a film with him. Isn't that what friends are for? But a mutual friend shed light on his sexual orientation (straight) and suggested that his intentions -- and attentions -- weren't platonic. He had never "made the moves" but now it was all crystal clear -- that explains the way he had looked at me that time the tahini sauce dribbled down my chin! Since he had clearly been too timid to express his feelings, I thought I would be clever this time and subtly mention the dates I had been going on, focusing on the one guy I was kind of keen on, so that he would know that I was "unavailable" for heavy petting and those sorts of activities, but that I was available for things like roller skating, falafel-eating and shooting the breeze. Doesn't that sound nice? That way, he would known not to try to lean in for a kiss, and I wouldn't have to pull the Stevie Wonder dance and dodge him went he went for it. It was like pre-rejection, yet I was sparing his feelings because he didn't even have to put himself out there! I really thought I was being brilliant. It backfired, of course. Said man ended up sending me an email rant accusing me of being insensitive by talking about other men when he had "feelings for me." As if I am psychic, by the way, just because I am a woman! How was I supposed to know that? I think in his mind we were dating. In my mind, he was my new gay BFF. In the end, I got mad at him for getting mad at me, and now the friendship has ended. And I have created yet another "menemy." Look, I have also tried the direct thing: "I really like you, but only as a friend, " but you can only do that when the guy has made his intentions clear, and in my experience, they either cope okay (though rarely do I feel much enthusiasm for friendship after that), or they really don't cope well. I also tried the thing where you make them think they are rejecting you, but it gets quite confusing and only works if the guy isn't very sharp, and why would I -- or you -- be hanging out with someone not that sharp in the first place? As we all remember, Billy Crystal's character says men and women can't be friends in When Harry Met Sally because the sex stuff gets in the way. I do have single, male, heterosexual friends with whom I have an easy, non-romantic rapport, but I honestly don't know if they would walk away if I was sprawled naked on a bed calling out to them.

300字励志哲理美文摘抄赏析励志人生哲理美文 走过的路，都会在我们的心里留下痕迹，我们走得越多，生命的痕迹也就越发明显。而哲理，会让我们学着思考生命的意义!下面是小编为大家整理的关于300字励志哲理美文摘抄赏析的相关资料，供您参考! 300字励志哲理美文摘抄赏析篇1：拥有 这世间，美好的东西实在数不过来了，我们总是希望得到的太多，让尽可能多的东西为自己所拥有。 人生如白驹过隙一样短暂，生命在拥有和失去之间，不经意地流干了。 如果你失去了太阳，你还有星光的照耀，失去了金钱，还会得到友情，当生命也离开你的时候，你却拥有了大地的亲吻。 拥有时，倍加珍惜;失去了，就权当是接受生命真知的考验，权当是坎坷人生奋斗诺言的承付。 拥有诚实，就舍弃了虚伪;拥有充实，就舍弃了无聊;拥有踏实，就舍弃了浮躁。不论是有意的丢弃，还是意外的失去，只要曾经真实的拥有，在一些时候，大度的舍弃不也是一种境界吗? 在不经意所失去的，你还可以重新去争取。丢掉了爱心，你可以在春天里寻觅，丢掉了意志，你要在冬天重新磨砺。但是丢掉了懒惰，你却不能把它拾起。 欲望太多，反成了累赘，还有什么比拥有淡泊的心胸，更能让自己充实、满足呢? 选择淡泊，然后准备走一段山路。
赏析：我们拥有很多东西，呼吸的空气，健康有力的生命，所以不要总是说自己什么都没有，不要总是觉得自己的人生处处艰辛，其实，这艰辛何尝不是一种对于生命的考察! 300字励志哲理美文摘抄赏析篇2：思想的小鱼 每一汪水塘里，都有海洋的气息。 每一颗石子里，都有沙漠的影子。 所以诗人才说：一支三叶草，再加上我的想象，便是一片广阔的草原。走在秋月的田野上，我想起一位诗人对老托尔斯泰的叩问：一切/成熟了的/都必须/低垂着头么? 没有错，我们走过的每一步路，都将成为往事，无论它们是欢乐的相逢，还是痛苦的别离，但是请你相信，无论是热切的期待，还是深情的追忆，我们所唱过的每一支歌，都不会转瞬消失，如同罗莎?卢森堡所言：”无论我走到哪里，只要我活着，天空、云彩和生命的美，都将与我同在!” 狭隘而自私的心灵，可以变成自己的地狱，广阔而开朗的心灵，却可以成为他人的天堂。地狱和天堂，只有一层之隔。 而一切嫉妒的火焰，总是从燃烧自己开始的。 一位年老的作家告诉我说：”你的双脚，踏碎了多少时间?但不要懊悔吧，只要踏得真实，谁的步子，都会有深浅。” 在你终于赢得成功的鲜花的时候，难道你不怀念往昔的路口?在你重新营造成功的华贵的屋宇里，难道你不怀念昔日的木头? 赏析：走过的路，都会在我们的心里留下痕迹，我们走得越多，生命的痕迹也就越发明显。一颗宽阔的心灵，能够让我们看见世界的广大! 300字励志哲理美文摘抄赏析篇3：如花
十篇经典美文欣赏 1、《境由心造》 . 一个人的处境是苦是乐常是主观的。 有人安于某种生活，有人不能。因此能安于自已目前处境的不妨就如此生活下去，不能的只好努力另找出路。你无法断言哪里才是成功的，也无法肯定当自已到达了某一点之后，会不会快乐。有些人永远不会感到满足，他的快乐只建立在不断地追求与争取的过程之中，因此，他的目标不断地向远处推移。这种人的快乐可能少，但成就可能大。 苦乐全凭自已判断，这和客观环境并不一定有直接关系，正如一个不爱珠宝的女人，即使置身在极其重视虚荣的环境，也无伤她的自尊。 拥有万卷书的穷书生，并不想去和百万富翁交换钻石或股票。满足于田园生活的人也并不艳羡任何学者的荣誉头衔，或高官厚禄。 你的爱好就是你的方向，你的兴趣就是你的资本，你的性情就是你的命运。各人有各人理想的乐园，有自已所乐于安享的花花世界。 .
。. 2.《大和小》 . 一位朋友谈到他亲戚的姑婆，一生从来没有穿过合脚的鞋子，常穿着巨大的鞋子走来走去。儿子晚辈如果问她，她就会说：“大小鞋都是一样的价钱，为什么不买大的？” 每次我转述这个故事，总有一些人笑得岔了气。 其实，在生活里我们会看到很多这样的"姑婆"。没有什么思想的作家，偏偏写着厚重苦涩的作品；没有什么内容的画家，偏偏画着超级巨
画；经常不在家的商人，却有非常巨大的家园。 许多人不断地追求巨大，其实只是被内在贪欲推动着，就好像买了特大号的鞋子，忘了自己的脚一样。 不管买什么鞋子，合脚最重要，不论追求什么，总要适可而止。. .
3.《抉择》 .人的一生常处于抉择之中，如：念哪一间大学？选哪一种职业？娶哪一种女子？……等等伤脑筋的事情。一个人抉择力的有无，可以显示其人格成熟与否。 倒是哪些胸无主见的人，不受抉择之苦。因为逢到需要决定的时候，他总是求询别人说：“嘿，你看怎么做？” 大凡能够成大功业的人，都是抉择力甚强的人。他知道事之成败，全在乎已没有人可以代劳，更没有人能代你决定。 在抉择的哪一刻，成败实已露出端倪。 .
(Reports on Britain Under the Bombs) Night after night, in the hot summer and early fall of 1940, a deep, steady voice came over the Atlantic Ocean from England to America, telling of England's battle for survival under the waves of German bombers. This strong and steady voice, an American voice with a slight accent of North Carolina, belonged to Edward R. Murrow, head of the European staff of the Columbia Broadcasting System. "This is London," said Murrow, while the bombs fell and flames spread on the streets of the city. His voice had a tone of sorrow for the suffering of that ancient city, and a tone of confidence, too -- a feeling of belief that London would be there, no matter what it had to endure. It could not be destroyed. The heavy raids began in the middle of August, and Nazi bombs started to fall along England's Channel Coast. The German bombers cast dark shadows over the white cliffs of Dover, and England's Home Guard prepared to fight on the beaches, on the cliffs, and in the hills, until the last Englishman died or the invaders were driven off. Air Marshal Goering's bomber pilots were sure of their ultimate triumph over England. Hitler and Goering believed that when London became a burned city like Warsaw and Rotterdam, England would surrender. But the English were more fortunate than the Poles in Warsaw and the Dutch in Rotterdam. They had the English Channel as a barrier against the Nazi ground forces, and they had the Royal Air Force(RAF) to battle the Nazis in the sky. The hardships of London really started in the first week of September, when Hitler was at last convinced that the English did not intend to give in. On September 7, 1940, nearly four hundred German bombers hammered the city with bombs in broad daylight. Marshal Goering boasted, "This is the historic hour when our air force for the first time delivered its bombs right into the enemy's heart." Fires burned, houses fell, gas pipes burst, and dark smoke rose from the streets. Men, women, and children felt the effect of the bombs. Radar sirens wailed, ambulances rushed from one place of agony to another, and fire fighters faced the flames hour after hour.
