逆境
There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I can not perfect myself without hardship.
Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment may present……to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.
Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.

改變我的那個瞬間
I was living in Chicago and going through what was a particularly cold winter both in my personal life and the outside temperature. One evening I was walking home from a bar where I had been drinking alone, feeling sorry for myself, when I saw a homeless man standing over an exhaust grate in front of a department store. He was wearing a filthy sport coat and approaching everyone who passed by for money.
I was too immersed in my own troubles to deal with him so I crossed the street. As I went by, I looked over and saw a businessman come out of the store and pull a ski parka out of a bag and hand it to the homeless man. For a moment both the man and I were frozen in time as the businessman turned and walked away. Then the man looked across the street at me. He shook his head slowly and I knew he was crying.
It was the last time I have ever been able to disappear into my own sorrow.
未來盡在掌控
We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will effect it.
Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.
譯文：
我們可以掌握神秘而不可知的未來，從中創(chuàng)出我們所能想象的任何東西，一如雕刻家可以將未成型的石頭刻出雕像一樣。
我們每個人都是農夫。我們若種下好種子，就會有豐收。倘若種子長得不良且長滿雜草，我們就會徒勞無獲。如果我們什么也不種，就根本不會有什么收獲。
我盼望未來會比過去更好。我不盼望未來會被那些充斥在歷史中的錯誤所污染。我們應關心未來，因為往后的余生都要在未來中度過。
往昔已一去不復返而且是靜止的。任憑我們怎么努力都不能改變過去。未來就在我們眼前而且是動態(tài)的。我們的所作所為都會影響未來。
只要我們體會的出來，每天都可以發(fā)現(xiàn)新的.東西領域伴隨而生，可能是在家里，也可能是在我們的事業(yè)中。我們正處在人類所努力鉆研的每個領域中進步的起點。
年 輕
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.nobody grows merely by the number of years; we grow old by deserting our ideas. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and 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 infinite, so long as you are young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spring of life. These are what I have and what we have at this period of life. So, I'm still young, yes, definitely ! Come on my fellow friends, show your energy and passion to this god damn world ! Let the universe hear our voice, see our cheek, hug our enthusiasm and witness our maturity. We're going to create a brand new future !
譯文：
年輕，并非人生旅程的一段時光，也并非粉頰紅唇和體魄的矯健。
年輕是心靈中的一種狀態(tài)，是頭腦中的一個意念，是理性思維中的創(chuàng)造潛力，是情感活動中的一股勃勃的朝氣，是人生春色深處的一縷東風。
年輕，意味著甘愿放棄溫馨浪漫的愛情去闖蕩生活，意味著超越羞澀、怯懦和欲望的膽識與氣質。而60歲的男人可能比20歲的小伙子更多地擁有這種膽識與氣質。沒有人僅僅因為時光的流逝而變得衰老，只是隨著理想的毀滅，人類才出現(xiàn)了老人。
時間可以在皮膚上留下皺紋，卻無法為靈魂刻上一絲痕跡。憂慮、恐懼、缺乏自信才使人佝僂于時間塵埃之中。
無論是60歲還是16歲，每個人都會被未來所吸引，都會對人生競爭中的歡樂懷著孩子般無窮無盡的渴望。
在人們心靈的深處，同樣有一個無線電臺，只要它不停地從人群中，從無限的時間中接受美好、盼望、歡欣、勇氣和力量的信息，人們就永遠年輕。一旦這無線電臺坍塌，你的心便會被玩世不恭和悲觀失望的寒冷酷雪所覆蓋，你便衰老了—即使你只有20歲。但如果這無線電臺始終矗立在你心中，捕捉著每個樂觀向上的電波，你便有盼望超過年輕的80歲。
所以只要勇于有夢，敢于追夢，勤于圓夢，我們就永遠年輕！
千萬不要動不動就說自己老了，錯誤引導自己！年輕就是力量，有夢就有未來！
