英語美文朗讀 第312期 18 Things To Remember In Life(上)

Number One - Remember to be yourself. We are all created to be unique in our own ways. And to be yourself is to know exactly who you are. This could include where you're from, what you strongly believe in, your standards and values, and anything else that is close to you or contributes to your personality. These things are what make you who you are as a person. And one of the main components of obtaining a happy life is to be at peace with all of the wonderful characteristics that make you you.

 

第一，記住，要做自己。我們生下來就是獨(dú)特的，每個人都有自己的特點(diǎn)。做自己，就是要了解自己。這意味著你要了解自己的過去，了解自己的信念，了解自己的準(zhǔn)則，了解自己的價值觀，了解與自己或自己的個性有關(guān)的一切。這些事情造就了你。要想過得快樂，最重要事情之一，就是要接納自己的所有美好的特點(diǎn)。

 

Number Two - Remember what you have to offer. Recognizing your amazing qualities is an important step in accepting who you are as an individual. Just think about what it means to give to others and to show them that you care. Sometimes we underestimate our abilities and tell ourselves that we aren't capable of offering anything. But it is important to remember that you have so much to offer - no matter how insignificant these things may seem. Once you find somebody who you trust and feel completely comfortable with, it will become easier to recognize all that you're capable of.

第二，記住，你有能力付出。認(rèn)可自己那些優(yōu)秀的品質(zhì)，是接納自己的重要一步。想一想，對他人付出，讓他人知道你很關(guān)心他們，這有什么意義。有時候，我們低估了自己的能力，認(rèn)為我們無法給他人任何東西。但是，你能給予他人的東西有很多，就算這些東西看起來很不起眼，也沒關(guān)系。你要記住這一點(diǎn)，這點(diǎn)很重要。一旦你找到一個令你信任的人，讓你感覺與其相處很融洽的人，那么你就更能體會到自己的能力。

 

Number Three - Remember everything you deserve. Even though we are often our own biggest critics- and people are typically the hardest on themselves - everybody deserves to be loved and accepted. It is easy to tell yourself that you don't deserve anything - especially if you feel as though you're going through your life only making mistakes. But every single person on this planet deserves love, peace and happiness. Maintain your standards in life, and make sure not to settle for anything less than what you believe you deserve.

第三，記住，你值得擁有的東西。雖然我們總是對自己很挑剔，人們總是對自己要求太嚴(yán)格，但是每個人都值得被愛，值得被包容。我們很容易跟自己說，你什么都配不上，尤其是當(dāng)你感覺好像自己的人生除了犯錯以外一事無成的時候。但是，每個人都值得擁有愛，平靜，和幸福。保持自己的準(zhǔn)則，如果沒有得到自己值得擁有的東西，就不要輕易妥協(xié)。

 

Number Four - Remember that perfection is unattainable. Spending your days focusing on trying to be the image of perfection is a waste of time. Everybody has flaws, and areas to work on and improve - but that's nothing to be troubled about. Remember that working on your weaknesses will ultimately help you improve yourself as a whole. Don't go through life feeling as though the world is pressuring you to live up to the unrealistic image that we call perfection.

第四，記住，你無法做到十全十美。一天到晚想著怎么把事情做得完美，這是浪費(fèi)時間。每個人都有缺點(diǎn)，都有需要提高的地方，但你不應(yīng)該為此發(fā)愁。記住，要認(rèn)真處理自己的缺點(diǎn)，這最終會幫助你提升自己。不要覺得好像全世界都在逼你，要讓你去達(dá)到根本就不現(xiàn)實的完美境界。

 

Number Five - Remember to speak from the heart. Speaking from the heart, being honest and genuine, and telling others how you truly feel will take you a long way in life. Maybe it will bring heartache from time to time, but it is important to remember that it will always be temporary. There is nothing to feel bad about when it comes to speaking out about how you really feel. Having a separate and unique opinion is nothing out of the ordinary. If others get angry about how you feel about a certain situation, don't wallow over their troubles. Be proud of your words and morals, and don't lose your ability to be honest with others. Disagreements are a normal part of life, and you will always come across somebody who disagrees with you about something.

第五，記住，說話要發(fā)自內(nèi)心。說話時要發(fā)自內(nèi)心，誠實，真誠，告訴別人你的真實感受，這從長遠(yuǎn)來看更有益處。這樣做的話，也許你經(jīng)常會感到不好受，但是你要記住，這種難受的感覺只是暫時的，這很重要。你把自己真實的內(nèi)心感受說出來，這沒什么大不了的。要是你的觀點(diǎn)和看法很獨(dú)特，和別人都不一樣，這其實很正常。如果別人對你的觀點(diǎn)表示憤怒，你也不要太在意。要對自己的看法和準(zhǔn)則有自信，你難免會遇到跟你觀點(diǎn)不合的人。

 

Number Six - Remember to be completely honest with yourself. There is no doubt that deceiving others and being untruthful is wrong, but what are the universal standards when it comes to being truthful to ourselves? Even though it is extremely important to be honest with others, it is also extremely important to be honest with yourself. It's not a surprise that a lot of us have trouble with looking at ourselves in the mirror and confronting our problems. But sometimes the only truths that can really make the difference are the ones we admit to ourselves.

第六，記住，要對自己真誠。毫無疑問，欺騙他人，滿口謊言，這是不對的。但是，當(dāng)我們面對自己的時候，我們又應(yīng)該遵循什么原則呢？盡管我們都知道，待人真誠很重要，但是，我們也要知道，真誠地對待自己也很重要。很多人無法直視自己，無法面對自己的問題，這很正常。但是，有時候，那些影響深遠(yuǎn)的事實，就是我們要向自己承認(rèn)的那些事實。

 

Number Seven - Remember to be open-minded. Keeping a wide perspective on the things going on around us can prove to be helpful when it comes to dealing with the troubles in our personal lives. Being open minded and taking a chance on new opportunities can be exciting - and very fulfilling in the long run. Being more open to the many possibilities in life may ultimately lead you somewhere amazing. If you have trouble keeping yourself open-minded, you can work on getting into the habit of looking at things from every possible aspect. Evaluating situations and keeping a clear mind - but also being aware of any possible troubles - will help you get further in life and achieve greater things.

第七，記住，要保持開放的心態(tài)。在生活中要做到多觀察周圍的事物，這對解決我們自己的問題很有幫助。保持開放的心態(tài)，面對機(jī)遇的時候用于嘗試，這很令人興奮，從長遠(yuǎn)來看，這也會讓我們收獲頗多。對生活中的各種可能性保持開放的心態(tài)，這可能最終會讓你取得令人驚喜的成果。如果你覺得保持開放的心態(tài)比較難，你可以學(xué)著養(yǎng)成從不同的角度看待事情的習(xí)慣。審視不同的情況，保持清醒的頭腦，同時要意識到有可能存在的問題，這會幫助你走得更遠(yuǎn)，取得更大的成就。

 

Number Eight - Remember to pursue your dreams. Although the entire world could be investing their time into telling you that you're wasting yours, you should know in your heart that you're doing everything that you were meant to do. People who focus so much of their time on putting other people down for having dreams, don't quite understand what they're doing with their own lives. When you tell others about your hopes and dreams, or what you aspire to be, there maybe someone who just doesn't understand that living a life without a fulfilling dream, is living a life that is truly wasted. Everybody has their own gifts, strengths, and abilities - and the world needs all of them! Remind yourself that you have a purpose, and you can do whatever you set your mind to. Strive for greatness.

第八，記住，要追求自己的夢想。雖然，全世界都在想盡辦法說服你，說你在浪費(fèi)時間，但是你要打心底里明白，你正在做的所有事情，都是你應(yīng)該做的。那些總是想打擊別人的夢想的人，他們自己其實也不明白自己每天做的事情有什么意義。當(dāng)你把自己的憧憬和夢想告訴別人的時候，可能有的人根本就不明白，生命要是沒有理想，就是在浪費(fèi)生命。每個人都有自己的天賦，優(yōu)點(diǎn)，能力，世界需要它們！不斷提醒自己，你有追求，你能做成自己下定決心去做的任何事情，要為偉大的夢想而奮斗。

 

Number Nine - Remember that mistakes are a part of life. Mistakes are something that nobody can escape from. Everybody makes mistakes, but they do not define us. How we deal with our mistakes and redeem ourselves is what truly makes us who we are. Knowledge and wisdom can be obtained through a combination of the good and bad situations in your life - and how you cope with them. Although you may stumble and fall countless times as you grow older and learn more about life, it is important to recognize who you want to become as an individual - and how you will get there. Don't regret your mistakes - simply use them as examples to teach yourself valuable lessons.

第九，記住，犯錯是生活的一部分。沒有人能夠避免犯錯，每個人都會犯錯，但是錯誤并不能定義我們。我們?nèi)绾翁幚礤e誤，我們?nèi)绾沃卣衿旃模@才能體現(xiàn)真實的我們。在你的人生中，經(jīng)歷了各種大起大落，學(xué)會應(yīng)對所有情況之后，你就會得到寶貴的知識和智慧。雖然，隨著時間推移，隨著你逐漸變得成熟，隨著你學(xué)到越來越多的東西，你可能會摔倒無數(shù)次，但是你要記住自己想成為什么樣的人，要記住自己如何才能實現(xiàn)這個目標(biāo)。不要對錯誤感到懊悔，把它們看作寶貴的教訓(xùn)就好了。
