“在这个八角笼里
我觉得所有的人都值得尊重
我不希望在八角笼里说垃圾话
我觉得在这个平台上
我们都是武者都需要互相尊重
我们需要给孩子们
做一个好的榜样
所以我觉得我们是冠军
我们不是暴君”
“我的祖国正在遭受疫情,
希望我的国家赶紧度过疫情。
现在疫情已经不是中国人的事,
而是全人类的事,
希望大家一起战胜疫情。”
张伟丽用自己的成功,实力证明了我们骨子里的坚韧,顽强,毅力,以及必胜的决心。
今天分享一篇关于“毅力”的美文。
Napoleon declared, "Victory belongs to the most persevering." Upon careful study we find perseverance depends upon three things-purpose, will, and enthusiasm. He who has a purpose is always concentrating his forces. By the will, the hope and the plan are prevented from evaporating into dreams. Enthusiasm keeps the interest up, and makes the obstacles seem small.
拿破仑曾说过:“成功属于最有毅力的人。”仔细研究后,我们发现,毅力取决于三个因素—目标、意志和热情。有了目标,通常能集中力量做事;凭借意志,希望和计划就不会落空而成虚幻;热情会使兴趣更为浓厚,让一切阻碍变得微不足道。
Great men never wait for opportunities; they make them. They seize upon whatever is at hand, work out their problem, and master the situation. The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given to him. This is success and there is no other.
伟大的人从不等待机会,他们会创造机会,利用手中所有的一切,解决问题,并且掌控局面。一个人在这个世界上能做的最伟大的事情,就是让手中所有的一切发挥最大效用,这就是绝无仅有的成功。
One of the important lessons of life is to learn how to get victory out of defeat. It takes courage and stamina, when mortified by humiliating disaster, to seek in the ruins the elements of future conquest. Yet this measures the difference between those who succeed and those who fail. We cannot measure a man by his failures. We must know what use he makes of them. The man who has not fought his way upward and does not bear the scar of desperate conflict does not know the highest meaning of success.
人生当中,一个重要的课题就是,要学会如何从失败中取得成功。在耻辱的打击面前,我们需要的是勇气和耐力,从失败的废墟里寻找将来卷土重来的胜利元素。这正是成功者与失败者的区别所在。我们不能以失败来评判某人,而是要看他如何面对失败。一个不力争上游、不能忍辱负重的人,永远无从体会成功的伟大意义。
