W: I am having a hard time at my job.
M: What's wrong, Julia?
W: My colleagues quickly get promotions, while I always get sidelined. I don't know what to do anymore.
M: Don't give up so soon.
W: But I don't know what else I can do. I am willing to work hard. Sometimes I make mistakes and the boss is not happy. He thinks I am not capable.
M: Mistakes are just a lessons to learn from.
W: Tell that to my boss.
M: Do you know Abraham Lincoln?
W: Yes.
M: He grew up poor in Kentucky and barely had a year of schooling, but he went on to become the President of United States.
W: He was also assassinated because of his views.
M: He is known as American's greatest president. Do you know why? Because he fought against slavery and secession at a time in history where others were too afraid to do anything. He succeeded because of his ambition and generous spirit.
W: Well, if he can become president, then I can at least get a promotion.
M: That's the spirit. Never give up on your dream.
W:我現(xiàn)在工作很不順。
M:怎么了,Julia?
W:我的同事們都很快得到了升職,可總是沒我的份兒。我不知道還能做什么。
M:別輕易放棄。
W:但我不知道我還能做什么,我愿意努力工作,但有時候會犯錯老板就不高興了,他認為我能力不夠。
M:可以從錯誤中吸取教訓(xùn)。
W:對我老板講吧。
M:你知道Abraham Lincoln嗎?
W:知道。
M:他生長于肯塔基的一個貧窮之家,勉強上過一年學(xué),但他最后成為了美國總統(tǒng)。
W:他因為自己的觀點而遇刺身亡。
M:他以美國最偉大的總統(tǒng)而聞名,你知道為什么嗎?因為他為反對奴隸奴隸制、追求獨立而戰(zhàn),而那個時代的其他人都太膽小怕事,什么都不敢做。他成功了,因為他有雄心壯志,還有寬廣的胸襟。
W:那,如果他能成為總統(tǒng),我想我至少也能獲得一次升職吧。
M:這就對了,永遠也別放棄你的夢想。
