初一英语美文篇1

Stop Waiting 时不我待 珍惜现在

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when we are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire.

The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. Your life will always be filled with challenges. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy. There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have.

Stop Waiting Stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you die, until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.

我们说服自己去相信，等我们结婚生子了，生活就会好起来。接着我们沮丧地发现孩子还小，等他们长大了，我们就会心满意足。然后，我们又沮丧地发现自己还要应对青少年的问题。等他们过了青春期，我们肯定会快活起来。我们告诉自己，等我们退休了，等我们享受到一个美妙的假期，我们的人生就会圆满。

事实上，没有哪一刻能比现在更加幸福。你的生活总是充满挑战。你最好意识到这一点，下定决心，让自己幸福起来。幸福没有捷径可言。幸福本身就是人生之道。所以，请珍惜你所拥有的每一刻吧。

不要等你完成学业，不要等你回校进修，不要等你减了十磅，不要等你重了十磅，不要等你有了孩子，不要等你的孩子长大离家，不要等你开始工作，不要等你退休，不要等你结婚，不要等你离婚，不要等到周五晚上，不要等到周日清晨，不要等到春天，不要等到夏天，不要等到秋天，不要等到冬天，不要等你去世，不要等你投胎——才发现没有哪一刻会比现在更幸福了。

Heaven on Earth

If you woke pup this morning with more 啊health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agon(苦恼) of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealth.

Someone once said: What goes around comes around.

So…

Work live you don't need the money.

Love like you've never been hurt.

Dance like nobody's watching.

Sing like nobody's listening.

Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

The Popularity Trap in Office

Respect versus popularity -- it is the old conflict between being professional and being personal. We want to do a good job, but we want to be friends with everyone, too. The truth is, you can't always be liked if you do your job properly. And the desire to keep everyone happy can become a weakness.

"At best," says management consultant Jennie Lumley, "worrying about what others think makes us reactive when we need to be proactive. At worst, we're so busy playing the office sweetheart that we lose sight of the demands of the job and our needs."

This is a particular problem for women professions, Lumley finds. "It's a childhood hangover(宿醉，遗物). We all long to be the most popular girl in school. Also, girls are brought up to try to please. This need to be liked gets in the way of career progress. At work, men don't give a thought to what others think so long as they get their way."
