心灵鸡汤英语小故事阅读篇一
Flotsam, Jetsam, and Liberty
By James Carey
Perhaps more than anything else in the world, I believe in liberty: liberty for myself, liberty for my fellow men. I cannot forget the legend engred on the base of the Statue of Liberty on Bedlows Island in New York Harbor: Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled sses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless tempest tossed to me. I lift my lamp beside the golden door. That is the voice of America.
As one all part of it, one tiny decibel in its sound, I, as a free individual of America, believe in it. It kes no boast of noble ancestry. On the contrary, it admits honestly that each of us in this country, with a possible and qualified exception of our native Indians, is a displaced person. In a particular kind of way, the Indian was our first displaced person. If you and I did not come from abroad ourselves, our forefathers did. The scores that drove them was economic, political, or religious oppression.
Oppression has always strewn the shores of life with wretched hu n refuse. We who today are the proud people of a proud country are what might be called the reclaimed refuse of other lands. The fact that the flotsam and the jetsam, the persecuted and the pursued of all these other lands, the fact that they came here and, for the most part, successfully started life anew, this renews my faith in the resilience of a hu n individual and the dignity of n.
There are those who say we should be content with the terial benefits we he accrued among ourselves. I cannot accept that for myself. A laboring n needs bread and butter, and cash to pay the rent. But he would be a poor individual, indeed, if he were not able to furnish the vestibule of his mind and his soul with spiritual embellishments beyond the price of a union contract.
I mean by this that I believe it is important for a n to discover, whether he is an electrical worker or an executive, that he is an individual with his own resources and a sense of the dignity of his own person and that of other men. We are separate. We are collective. Man can be strong alone but not indomitable, in isolation. He has to belong to something, to realize he is not created separately or apart from the rest of nkind, whether he is an American or a Mohammedan.
I am stirred by the abundance of the fields, the forest, the streams, and the natural resources they hold. But do these things ke me important? He we wrought the miracle of America because of these riches we hold? I say, no. Our strength?and I can say my strength, too, because I am a part of this whole?lies in a fundamental belief in the validity of hu n rights. And I believe that a n who holds these rights in proper esteem is greater, whether he is recognized or not.
As an individual, I must face the future with honesty and faith, in the goods things that he de us mighty. I must he confidence in myself, in others, and all men of goodwill everywhere, for is the child of truth and confidence.

Dreams Are the Stuff Life Is Made Of
By Carroll Carroll
I believe I am a very lucky n.
My entire life has been lived in the healthy area between too little and too much. I?ve never experienced financial or emotional insecurity, but everything I he, I?ve attained by my own work, not through indulgence, inheritance, or privilege.
Never hing lived by the abuses of any extreme, I?ve always felt that a work n is worthy of his hire, a merchant entitled to his profit, an artist to his reward.
As a result of all this, my bargaining bump y be a little underdeveloped, so I?ve never tried to oversell myself. And though I y work for less than I know I can get, I find that because of this, I?m never so afraid of losing a job that I?m forced to compromise with my principles.
Naturally in a life as mentally, physically, emotionally, and financially fortunate as mine has been, a great ny people he helped me. A few meant to, most did so by accident. I still feel I must reciprocate. This doesn?t mean that I?ve dedicated my life to my fellow n. I?m not the type. But I do feel I should help those I?m qualified to help, just as I?ve been helped by others.
What I?m saying now is, I feel, part of that pattern. I think everyone should, for his own sake, try to reduce to six hundred words the beliefs by which he lives?it?s not easy?and then compare those beliefs with what he enjoys?not in real estate and money and goods, but in love, health, hiness, and laughter.
I don?t believe we live our lives and then receive our reward or punishment in some afterlife. The life and the reward?the life and the punishment?these to me are one. This is my religion, coupled with a firm belief that there is a Supreme Being who planned this world and runs it so thatno n is an island, entire of himself The dishonesty of any one n subverts all honesty. The lack of ethics anywhere erates the whole world?s ethical content. In these?honesty and ethics?are, I think, the true spiritual values.
I believe the hope for a thoroughly honest and ethical society should never be laughed at. The most idealistic dreams he repeatedly forecast the future. Most of the things we think of today as hard, practical, and even indispensable were once merely dreams.
So I like to hope that the world need not be a dog-eat-dog jungle. I don?t think I?m my brother?s keeper. But I do think I?m obligated to be his helper. And that he has the same obligation to me.
In the last ysis, the entire pattern of my life and belief can be found in the wordsdo NOT do unto others that which you would NOT he others do unto you.? To sayDo unto others as you would he others DO unto you? somehow implies bargaining, an offer of for for for. But to restrain from acts which you, yourself, would abhor is an exercise in will power that must raise the level of hu n relationship.
?What is unpleasant to thyself,? says Hillel,THAT do NOT unto thy neighbor. This is the whole law,? and he concluded,All else is exposition.?
心灵鸡汤英语小故事阅读篇三
A Ball to Roll Around
By Robert All n
I lost my sight when I was 4 years old by falling off a boxcar in a freight yard in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and landing on my head. Now, I am 32. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again. But a calamity can do strange things to people.
It occurred to me the other day that I might not he come to love life so, as I do, if I hadn?t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would he believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don?t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them de me more reciate what I had left.
Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to ke these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was bewildered and afraid, but I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me?oh, a potential to live you might call it?which I didn?t see. And they de me want to fight it out with blindness.
The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn?t been able to do that, I would he collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say believe in myself, I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it, but I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate, pattern of people, there is a special place where I can ke myself fit. It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things.
When I was a youngster, once a n ge me an indoor baseball. I thought he was mocking me, and I was hurt.
?I can?t use this,? I said.
?Take it with you, he urged me,and roll it around.?
The words stuck in my head:Roll it around, roll it around.? By rolling the ball, I could listen where it went. This ge me an idea?how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia?s Overbrook School for the Blind, I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it groundball.
All my life, I he set ahead of me a series of goals, and then tried to reach them one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach, because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway, but on the erage, I de progress.
I believe I de progress more readily because of a pattern of life shaped by certain values. I find it easier to live with myself if I try to be honest. I find strength in the friendship and interdependence of people. I would be blind, indeed, without my sighted friends. And very humbly, I say that I he found purpose and comfort in a mortal?s ambition toward godliness.
Perhaps a n without sight is blinded less by the importance of terial things than other men are. All I know is that a belief in the higher existence of a nobility for men to strive for has been an inspiration that has helped me more than anything else to hold my life together.

7. 的心灵鸡汤经典语录,十句话告诉你 何是真正的爱情1. 如果你一生气，对方就立刻听你的，那是怕你，怕是 由于爱。
你一发嗲，对方就立刻听你的，那是宠你，宠也是 由于爱。你一难过，对方就立刻听你的，那是疼你，疼也是 由于爱。
但如果不管你做 何他都不愿让步，就知道吵架，那爱究竟在哪？对 无论兄弟们好有三个标志，要么怕你，要么宠你，要么疼你。 2. 我们常常在想，爱情要 怎样去衡量呢？曾经，我以为是思念，思念便是爱。
有人说，是付出和牺牲。也有人说是照顾和关心。
现在我发现了，爱情的量度单位是“偏执”，你对这个人有多么偏执，你便有多爱他。 3. 两人牵手 时刻长了，新鲜感就淡了，慢慢就有裂痕了，距离也渐渐地远了，紧跟着抵触来了，拒绝来了，争吵来了。
爱情的路上，谁没有分手的念头，谁没有挣扎的感觉？——没有了矛盾和瓶颈，爱情就是一种摆设，就是一潭死水罢了。关键的是，我们不能放弃，最漫长的坚持，能带给我们最永久的 高兴。
4. 爱，也是人存活世间的证明。我们经常看到，在一起的人未必不相爱，相爱的人却被迫分开，这是人生无常，也怪很多人自己没有努力。
爱应该是一种忠诚和无私的付出，一种 勇壮而无畏的表达，这是我们作为人的权利，千万不能只当儿戏。 5. 很多人年轻时觉得婚姻可有可无，一个人更自在。
年纪大了却开始后悔，没有一个可以相互扶持的人。虽然好姻缘可遇不可求， 然而也得自己努力，碰到合适的人千万不要犹豫。
这个 全球上不会有“最合适”的人，“比较合适”的人也不会等你一辈子。 6. 没有人是傻瓜，只是有时候，我们选择装傻来感受那一点点叫做 高兴的 物品。
不要对爱你的人太过刻薄，一辈子真正对 无论兄弟们好的人也没有 几许， 几许人在一切都将失去时才幡然醒悟：爱的宽厚，不能过度消耗。每个人都有脾气，为你忍下所有的怒气，仅仅 由于那个人比你更心疼你。
7. 相爱的两个人，把 高兴寄托在金钱上，当有一天金钱没有了， 高兴也就没了；把 高兴寄托在美貌上，当有一天美貌逝去了， 高兴也将逝去；把 高兴寄托在感觉之中，如果有一天感觉变化了， 高兴也就变化；有你，有我，努力， 高兴，怀着这样的觉悟永远开心相爱的在一起吧，愿世间有情人终成眷属。 8. 好男人不会满嘴情话，但一定会真心对 无论兄弟们好，不会常发誓，但心中却常感恩。
不一定赚很多钱，却能扛起家的 责任。不能带你去浪漫，却能令你有安全感，他在你的身边，不让你担心，照顾你，不欺骗，偶尔的闷骚和欢笑，就是这样。
9. 你觉得爱情是 何？舒适且不尴尬的沉默。没成熟的，称为爱情，走过一阵匆匆，以回忆的形式停在原点，不管多久，总保留一份 美好。
成熟的，称为相守，走过轰轰烈烈，以生活的方式走向终点。有些人懂得衡量，明白从爱情走到相守，多了一份 真诚。
10. 其实在我看来，“相爱”这种词，远远没有“ 习性”这个词更加甜蜜。“我爱上了你”，这是何等的轻易，而“我已 习性身边有你”，却是平淡里见真情。
人生中，爱上别人的配额或许有很多，但 习性上某人的配额却稀少。 由于 习性，是要用 时刻来换的。
大概没 何，比 时刻更珍贵了吧。
8. 10句心灵鸡汤经典励志语录,你最喜欢哪一句或许有一天，这个 全球会变成你不认识的样子，但你不见得非得同一时刻生出另一副脸孔。只有 坚定有力的人才能有一种真正的温柔，那些表面温和的人有的通常只是软弱，而这种软弱易变得尖酸刻薄。
如果不是你的 职业而你做了，这就是机会。 然而机会总是乔装成“麻烦”的样子，而让人无法抓住“麻烦”来了，一般人的第一反应是逃开，因此也就错过了机会。当别人交给你某个难题，也许正为你 创造一个珍贵的机会。对于一个 聪明的员工来说，他总是很乐意自找“麻烦”。多做一些 事务，你的地位越重要。
心灵鸡汤的英语小故事，要有汉语对照翻译的，急用！越多越好！，
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is
not a tter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a tter of the
will, a quality of the i gination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness
of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage
over timidity, of the etite for adventure over the love of ease. This often
exists in a n of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number
of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years y wrinkle the skin, but
to give up enthusia wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the
heart and turns the spirit back to dust. Whether 60 or 16, there is in every
hu n being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike etite for
what's next in the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my
heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty,
hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you
young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of
cynici and the ice of pessimi , then you are grown old, even at 20, but as
long as your aerials are up, to catch wes of optimi , there is hope you y
young at 80.
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是 生活的深泉在涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届花甲，拟或芳龄，心中皆有 生活之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受 美好、希望、欢乐、 勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。
一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油 然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。谁是你的守护天使Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one
day he asked God,"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I
going to live there being so all and helpless?"从前，有个孩子马上就要诞生了。因此有一天他问上帝：“听说明天你就送我去人间了， 然而，我这么弱小和无助，我在那儿 怎样生活呢？”
God replied,"Among the ny angels, I chose one for you. She
will be waiting for you and will take care of you." 上帝答道：“在众多的天使中，我特别为你挑了一位。她会守候你、无微不至地照顾你。”
But the child wasn't sure he really wanted to go."But tell
me, here in Heen, I don't do anything else but sing and ile, that's enough
for me to be hy."小孩还是拿不准自己是否真的想去。“ 然而在天堂，我除了唱唱笑笑外， 何也不做。这就足以让我感到 高兴了。”
"Your angel will sing for you and will also ile for you
every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be hy."“你的天使每天会为你唱歌，为你微笑。你会感受她的爱， 并且因此而 高兴。”
"And how am I going to be able to understand when people
talk to me,"the child continued,"if I don't know the language that men
talk?"“如果我不懂人类的语言，他们对我说话时，我 怎样听得懂呢？”孩子继续问道。
God patted him on the
head and said,"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you
will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how
to speak."上帝轻轻地拍了一下孩子的脑袋说：“你的天使会对你说最最 秀丽、最最动听的话语，而这些都是你从未听过的。她会不厌其烦地教你说话。”
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to
you?"“如果我想与你说话 怎样办？”
But God had an answer for that question too."Your angel will
place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."上帝胸有成竹地回答：“你的天使会将你的双手合拢，教你 如何祈祷。”
"I've heard that on earth there are bad men, who will
protect me?"“听说尘世有很多坏蛋，谁来保护我呢？”
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her
life!"“即使冒着 生活危险，你的天使也会保护你的。”
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you
anymore,"the child continued warily.“ 然而见不到你，我会难过的。”小孩小心翼翼说道。
1.Life?Struggle---- 生活的拼搏?
对强者而言，磨难犹如刀剑，使他愈见锋芒，诚如孟子所言：“天将降大任于斯人也，必先苦其心志，劳其筋骨?”不经过磨难的生活，日子未免过得乏味；不经过磨难的命运，人生便显得苍白。就 生活而言，总是从平坦中获得的效益少，从磨难中获得的教益深。?

一天，这位 善良的老人在树林里散步的时候，发现了一个蝴蝶的茧。他把茧带回了家。几天后，茧裂开了一道小缝。老人几小时地坐在那里，看着蝴蝶挣扎着让自己的身体从小缝中挤出来。后来，蝴蝶破茧好象停了下来，没有 何进展了。看来蝴蝶好象是撑到了 最后，再也不可能前进了。?
看到这里，老人决定帮助蝴蝶。于是他找出一把剪刀，把茧剩余的部分剪破了。?这样，蝴蝶就轻易地从茧中脱出来了。?然而，蝴蝶的身子肿胀着，翅膀又小又皱。老人继续观察着蝴蝶， 由于他期望着这样一个时刻的到来：蝴蝶的翅膀会变大，大到能支持它的身体，而蝴蝶的身体届时也会缩小。可是 何也没有发生。事实上，这只蝴蝶的余生中就只能拖着臃肿的身体和萎缩的翅膀爬来爬去了。?
它永远也不能飞起来了。?
在好心和匆忙间，老人并不 领悟，蝴蝶破茧而出时需要的那种束缚和挣扎其实是大 天然用来将蝴蝶的体液挤到翅膀中的 技巧，这样，蝴蝶一旦能从茧中脱出，就能准备好飞翔了。有时候，挣扎正是我们生活中所需要的。如果我们能得以毫无障碍地走过一生，这会使我们软弱。我们就不可能变得强壮。重要的是，我们就不可能腾飞。 2．坚持你的 梦想?I?he?a?friend?named?Monty?Roberts?who?owns?a?horse?ranch?in?San?Sedro.?He?has?let?me?use?his?house?to?put?on?fund-raising?events?to?raise?money?for?youth?at?risk?programs.?I?he?a?friend?named?Monty?Roberts?who?owns?a?horse?ranch?in?San?Sedro.?He?has?let?me?use?his?house?to?put?on?fund-raising?events?to?raise?money?for?youth?at?risk?programs.?
The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, "I want to tell you why I let Jack use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young n who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from farm and ranch-to-ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy's high school career was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
"That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on the 200-acre dream ranch.
"He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, 'See me after class.'
"The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, 'Why did I receive an F?'
"The teacher said, 'this is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You he no money. You come from an itinerant family. You he no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You he to buy the land. You he to pay for the original breeding stock and later you'll he to pay large stud fees. There's no way you could ever do it.' Then the teacher added, 'If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.'
"The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, 'Look, son, you he to ke up your own mind on this However, I think it is a very important decision for you.'
"Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, king no changes at all. He stated, 'You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream.'"
Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, "I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still he that school paper framed over the fireplace." He added, "The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same school-teacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week." When the teacher was leing, he said, 'Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids' dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.'"
Don't let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no tter what. Questions:
1.Who told Monty to keep his dream? 2.What's Monty's dream? Does it come true? 3．人生絮语：爱在心里成长
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
When the door of hiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.
The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who kes you ile because it takes only a ile to ke a dark day seem bright. Find the one that kes your heart ile. 中文：
