容易走的都是下坡路
他在一所大學做教授,90歲的時候,荏苒每天堅持工作8小時,不論春秋冬夏,也不論風霜雨雪。
他的秘書說:他很衰弱,但是每天逼著自己從住的地方走過兩個街口到辦公室來,這段路要走一個小時,他卻一定要走,因為這使他自覺有成就感。
有一天,有個大學生從他辦公室里出來,捧著一大堆書,一臉不高興的.抱怨:總是這一套。我問一個和簡單的問題,他可以用一個‘是‘或‘否‘回答,卻給我十幾本書,說可以在這些書里找到我所要的答案。
他后來知道了這個學生的抱怨,微笑著說:這就是我學到的讀書方法,艱難費事的方法。那孩子如能好好的鉆研這些書,就可以了解這個問題,將來也許能成為一個好律師。
這個90歲的老人就是曾任美國哈佛大學法學院院長的龐德。
有一位哲學家說:你應該每一兩天做一些你不想做的事。
這是人生進步的基礎。
正如另一位哲人所說容易走的都是下坡路。
All Slopes are Easy to Go
He was a professor. At the age of 90, he still work eight hours everyday regardless the season and weather.
His secretary said: He is extremely old, but he forced himself walk from his living place to office through two blocks. It would take him an hour, but he insisted to because it makes him get a sense of success.
The other day, an university student step out from his office with a pile of books. He complained emotionally: He is always this man. He may answer me just with &;8215;yes‘ or &;8215;no‘ to my question. However, he always gave me dozens of books and suggests me to find the answer.
Later, he knew what this student complained. He told with smile: This is the method I have learnt, a hard and troublesome way. If that kid could make full use of those books, he might know his question and maybe a good lawyer in the future.
This 90-year-old man was 龐德, who was the president of law college in Haward University.
Once a philosophist said: You should do some thing that you don not want to every one or two days.This is the foundation of life progress.Just like another phlosophist said: all slopes are easy to go.
勵志的英文故事閱讀2
我有一個手提箱要給你,里面有100萬美元現(xiàn)金。手提箱放在離你現(xiàn)在住的地方大約1小時車程的一幢大樓上,條件是:你要在2小時內到達那幢大樓。如果在2個小時之內到,我就把皮箱交給你,你就多了100萬美元。但是只要你遲到一分鐘,你就一分錢都得不到。那么你什么時候出發(fā)去拿幢大樓呢?
很多人會回答:現(xiàn)在就去。你呢?
你出發(fā)了。跳上你的車,發(fā)動,向那幢大樓方向開去。你相當激動,計劃著怎樣花那100萬美元。突然,路上堵車了,你的車子開不動了。你打開收音機,發(fā)現(xiàn)在你和那幢大樓之間發(fā)生了重大交通事故,你沒有別的路可以到達那里。你會怎么辦?你會打道回府嗎?或者打開車門走出來,走路(跑步或雇用直升飛機或用別的方法)去那幢大樓?
如果你去看牙醫(yī),在路上也發(fā)生堵車,你肯定會轉回家,跟牙醫(yī)約另一天。 這兩種情況為什么會不一樣?因為出行的目的是不同的。如果你要做的事情對你非常重要,再大的困難你都會設法克服; 如果你覺得要做的`事情不是很重要,遇到困難你就會放棄了。
所以,克服困難的最好的方法,就是把你要做的事情看得非常重要。
There is a suitcase for you with a million US dollar in .
The suitcase is placed in a building away from you about one hour driving. The condition is, you need to get there within two hours. If you did, I will give you the suitcase with a million US dollar. Or if you late for only one minute, nothing will you get. When would you get about?
Many would say: Now. will you?
Now you set out. You hurry into your car, start it, drive for the building. You are so excited and wonder what to do about the one million US dollars. All of a sudden, you are stopped by the traffic jam. You turn on the radio and find there is no any way to get there because of the accident on your way. What will you do nest step? Go back? Or step out your car, go to the building on foot (running or employ a helicopter or other ways)?
If, you are on the way to the dentist‘s office and there is a traffic jam, surely you would turn back and appoit for another time.
Why is there difference between these two thins? Because of the destination. If it is quite important for you, you will conquer it, regardless any hardship; or if yit is not so serious, you may call it a day.
Therefore, the best way to face the difficulty is to make the thing a business.

公平的分配
一個炎熱的下午,兩個農民在一棵大樹下乘涼。其中一個叫拉姆,另一個叫希亞。兩個人都帶著美味的面包充當午飯。拉姆帶了3個面包,希亞帶了5個。正當他們準備吃午飯的時候,一個商人路過此地。
下午好,兩位先生。商人向拉姆和希亞問候道。商人看起來又累又餓,所以拉姆和希亞邀請他和他們一起吃午飯。
但是我們有三個人怎么分這三個面包呢?拉姆為難了。
我們把面包放在一起,再把每個面包切成均等的三塊。希亞建議道。 把面包切開后,他們把面包平均分成三份,每個人都不多也不少。
吃完面包后,商人堅持要給他們錢。拉姆和希亞推辭不掉,只好收下。 待商人離開后,兩人一數(shù)金幣的數(shù)量——8個。
8個金幣,兩個人。我們就每人4個金幣。拉姆說道。
這不公平。西亞大聲反對,我有5個面包,你只有3個。所以我應該拿5個金幣,你只能拿3個。
拉姆不想爭吵,但他也不想給希亞5個金幣。
我們去找村長做裁決。他是個公正的人。拉姆說道。
他們來到村長毛爾維的家,把整個事情的經(jīng)過告訴了他。毛爾維想了很久,最后說:分配這筆錢的公平辦法就是希亞拿7個金幣,拉姆拿1個。
什么?拉姆驚叫道。
我為什么該得7個?希亞也覺得很奇怪。
當毛爾維把他的分配理由解釋清楚后,拉姆和希亞打偶沒有對這個分配再提出異議。
這真的是一個公平的裁決嗎?
要知道毛爾維的裁決是否公平,就要先回答這些問題:
1、8個面包被切成了多少塊?
2、每個人吃了多少塊面包?
3、拉姆的`面包被分成了多少塊?
4、拉姆吃了8塊面包,還剩幾塊留給商人?
5、希亞的面包被分成了多上塊?
6、希亞吃了8塊面包,還剩幾塊留給商人?
毛爾維決定只給拉姆一個硬幣,而給希亞7個,是因為商人吃了8塊面包,只有一塊是從拉姆的面包中來的,而其余7塊都是希亞的。
點示:我們憤憤不平,太多是因為我們只會算計,不會計算。
Just Allocation
In a hot afternoon, two farmers were enjoying the cool under the tree. One farmer called L and the other called X. both carried tasty bread as their lunch. Ltook three bread and X five. A businessman passed by when they were ready to have lunch.
good afternoon, gentlemen. The businessman greeted L and X. the businessman was tires and hungry. L and X invited him to have dinner together.
But we three men how to separate three breads? L confused.
Let‘s put the breads together, then divide every one into three equal parts. X suggested.
Cutting and dividing the breads, they all got the exact one.
Eating up the breads, the businessman insisted to pay and L and X have no idea but to get it.
When the businessman went away, L and X counted the number of golden bills----eight.
Eight bills, two person. Four bills every one. L said.
It‘s unjust, X opposed loudly, I had five breads and you just three, so I should get five bills and you three.
L reluctant to argue, neither would he gave X five bills.
Let‘s invite our village manager Morwey‘s house and tell all to him. Thinking for a while, Morwey replied: The just way to distribute these bill is X take seven bills and L one.
Pardon? L screamed.
Why should I posses seven? Xalso felt strange.
After Morwey explained his reason clearly, both Land X had no dispute on this allocation.
Was this really a just rule?
Answer these questions before you decide whether it was just or not:
1. How many small pieces the eight breads were divided into?
2. How many pieces every one ate?
3. How many small pieces did L‘s breads?
4. How many pieces L left for the businessman after he ate eight?
5. How many small pieces did X‘s breads were divided into?
6. How many pieces X left for the businessman after he ate eight?
The reason that Morwey only gave L one bill and X seven because the businessman ate eight pieces and only one was left from L‘s while other seven pieces from X.
Tips: we always indignant mostly because we are used to scheming, but not counting.
