Work and Pleasure工作和娱乐

To be really happy and really safe, one ought to haveat least two or three hobbies, and they must all bereal. It is no use starting late in life to say: “I will takean interest in this or that.” Such an attempt onlyaggravates the strain of mental effort. A man mayacquire great knowledge of topics unconnected withhis daily work, and yet hardly get any benefit or relief. It is no use doing what you like; youhave got to like what you do. Broadly speaking, human being may be divided into three classes:those who are toiled to death, those who are worried to death, and those who are bored todeath. It is no use offering the manual laborer, tired out with a hard week’s sweat and effort,the chance of playing a game of football or baseball on Saturday afternoon. It is no useinviting the politician or the professional or business man, who has been working orworrying about serious things for six days, to work or worry about trifling things at theweekend.

要想真正生活得幸福和平安，一个人至少应该有两三种业余爱好，而且必须是真正的爱好。到了晚年才开始说“我要培养这个或那个兴趣”是毫无用处的，种这种尝试只会增加精神上的负担。在与自己日常工作无关的领域中，一个人可以获得渊博的知识，但却很难有所收益或得到放松。做自己喜欢的事是无益的，你得喜欢自己所做的事。广而言之，人可以分为三个类别：劳累而死的人，忧虑而死的人和无聊而死的人。对于那些体力劳动者来说，一周辛苦的工作使他们精疾力竭，因此在周六下午给他们提供踢足球或者打棒球的机会是没有意义的。对于政界人士，专业人士或者商人来说，他们已经为棘手的事务操劳或者烦恼了六天，因此在周末请他们为琐事劳神同样毫无意义。

It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beings are divided into twoclasses: first, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, thosewhose work and pleasure are one. Of these the former are the majority. They have theircompensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, notonly the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and mostmodest forms. But Fortune’s favored children belong to the second class.Their life is a naturalharmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday,andordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbingvacation. Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, ofa diversion of effort, isessential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasureare those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.

或者可以这么说，理智的，勤奋的，有用的人可以分为两类：对第一类人而言，工作就是工作，娱乐就是娱乐;对于第二类人而言，工作和娱乐是合二为一的。很大一部分人属于前者。他们可以得到相应的补偿。在办公室或工厂里长时间的工作，不仅带给他们维持生计的金钱，还带给他们一种渴求娱乐的强烈欲望，哪怕这种娱乐消遣是以最简单，最淳朴的方式进行的。而第二类人则是命运的宠儿。他们的生活自然而和谐。在他们看来，工作时间永远不够多，每天都是假期;而当正常的假日到来时，他们总会抱怨自己有趣的休假被强行中断。然而，有一些东西对于这两类人来说都十分必要，那就是变换一下视角，改变一下氛围，尝试做点不同的事情。事实上，那些把工作看作娱乐的人可能是需要以某种方式将工作不时地驱赶出自己的大脑。

每个人都有属于自己的青春梦想，是我们人生中所追求的目标，没有了目标，生活就没有了方向，如果你有梦想，那就为自己的梦想奋斗吧，人生没有彩排，每一天都是精彩的演出，何不让我们生活的充满青春快乐呐。

two gates there are for dreams," said penelope to odysseus after his ten years’ wandering had ended. "one made for horn and one of for ivory. the dreams that pass through the carved ivory delude and bring us tales that turn to naught;those that can come through polished horn accomplish real things whenever seen."

“梦想有两扇门，”在奥德修斯结束了十年的漂泊后，潘尼洛对他说，“一扇是号角制成，一扇是象牙制成。通过精雕细缕的象牙门得梦想不过是一场会归于无的海市蜃楼的童话;而那些通过磨砺的号角门的梦想才会成为真实，为人所见。”

People and opportunities 人与机会

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of aweak, vacillating mind. Opportunities! Every life is fullof them. Every lesson in school or college is anopportunity. Every examination is a chance in life.Every businesstransaction is an opportunity-anopportunity to be polite, an opportunity to bemanly, an opprtunity to behonest, an opprtunity tomake friends. Every proof of confidence in you is agreat opportunity. Every responsibility thrust upon your strength and your honor is priceless.Existence is the privilege of effort,andwhen that privilege is met like a man, opportunities tosucceed along the line of your aptitude will come faster than you can use them.

意志脆弱优柔寡断的人,总是以缺乏机会为借口.机会!在每个人的生活当中,无处不在.学校里的每一节课都是机会.每一场考试都是人生的契机.每一次商务往来都是一次机会---一次礼貌待人的机会.一次果敢行事的机会.一次诚实守信的机会,一次广交朋友的机会.每一分对你的信任,对你都是一次莫大的机会.基于你的才干和声望而寄予你的每一份责任,都是无价的.生存是奋斗赋予的特权,而当你如男子汉一般邂逅那份殊荣时,一个个发挥你聪明才智,助你获取成功的机会便会接踵而至,令你迎接不暇.

Young men and women, why do you stand here all the day idle? Was the land all occupiedbefore you were born?Has the earth ceased to yield its increase? Are the seats all taken? Thepositions all filled? the chances all gone? are the resources of your country fully developed? Arethe secrets of nature all mastered? Isthere no way in which you can utilize these passingmoments to improve yourself or benefit another? Don't wait for your opportunity. Make it,make it as Napoleon made his in a hundred "impossible" situations. Make it, as all leaders ofmen , in war and in peace, have made their chaces of success. Make it, as every man must, whowould accomplish anything worth the effort. Glolden opportunities are nothing to laziness,butindustry makes the commmonest chances golden.

年轻人啊,为何你们整日裹足不前而虚掷光阴?难道在你们出生之前,每一寸土地都已被他人所占据?难道地球已不再繁衍生息?难道所有的席位都已另有归属?所有的职位都已人满为患? 所有的机会都一去不返?难道你国内的资源都已开发殆尽?难道大自然的奥秘都已了如指掌?难道你无法抓住转瞬即逝的时机来改善自我或者造福他人?切末株守机会.去创造它,正如拿破仑在无数次"绝"境中创造自己逢生的机会一样.去创造它,正如战争或和平年代的领袖们创造他们取得胜利的机会那样.去创造它,人人必须如此,任何人都能获得应有的回报.对于懒惰来讲,天赐良机也会化为乌有;对于勤奋而言,即使是微不足道的机会,也会变得金光闪闪!
