以下是小编整理的哲理类英语美文欣赏:有爱,就会有成功和财富, 希望对你有所启发。
We always convince ourselves that life will be betterafter we get married, have a baby, then another.Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't oldenough and we'll be more content when they are.After that we' re frustrated that we have teenagersto deal with. We will certainly be happy when they areout of that stage.
We always tell ourselves that our life will be completewhen our spouse gets his or her act together, whenwe get a nicer car, and are able to go on a nicevacation, when we retire. The truth is, there's nobetter time than right now. If not now, when? Our life will always be filled with challenges. It'sbest to admit this to ourselves and decide to be happy anyway.
One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred Souza. He said, "For a long time it had seemed tome that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way,something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debtto be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned onto me that these obstacles were my life.This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is theway. So treasure every moment that you have. And remember that time waits for no one. Sostop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school; until you get married, until youget divorced; until you have kids, until your kids leave home; until you start work, until youretire; until you get a new car or home; until spring; until you are born again to decide thatthere is no better time than right now to be happy....
Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So,
Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching.
我们总是相信,等我们结了婚,生了孩子生活会更美好。等有了孩子,我们又因为他们不够大而烦恼,想等他们大些时,我们就会开心了。可等他们进人青少年时期,我们还是同样地苦恼,于是又相信等他们过了这一阶段,幸福就会到来。
我们总是告诉自己,等夫妻间任一方肯于合作,等我们拥有更好的车,等我们能去度一次美妙的假期,等我们退休后,我们的生活一定会完美的。而事实的真相是,没有任何时刻比现在更宝贵。倘若不是现在,又会是何时?我们的生活每时每刻都会有挑战。最好是让自己接受这一事实,无论如何使自己保持快乐的心境。
我很欣赏艾尔弗雷德·苏泽的一段名言。他说:"长期以来,我都觉得生活--真正的生活似乎即将开始。可是总会遇到某种障碍,如得先完成一些事情。没做完的工作,要奉献的时间,该付的债,等等。之后生活才会开始。最后我醒悟过来了,这些障碍本身就是我的生活。"这一观点让我意识到没有什么通往幸福的道路。幸福本身就是路。所以,珍惜你拥有的每一刻,且记住时不我待,不要再作所谓的等待--等你上完学,等你再回到学校;等你结婚或离婚;等你有了孩子或孩子长大离开家;等你开始工作或等你退休;等你有了新车或新房;等春天来临;等你有幸再来世上走一遭才明白此时此刻最应快乐……
幸福是一个旅程,不是终点站。所以,
投入地工作吧,就像你根本不需要钱;
尽情去爱吧,就像你从未被伤害过;
纵情地起舞吧,就像根本无人观望。
