2、a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man 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 may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm w
3、rinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human beings heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for whats next and the joy of the game of living.In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wirel

5、ls are up, to catch waves of optimism, theres hope you may die young at 80.青春青春不是年华，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；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。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，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天
6、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。2.英语美文摘抄300字励志If I Rest, I RustThe significant xxx found on an old key-If I rest, I rust-would be an excellent motto for those who are afflicted with the slightest bit of idleness.Even
7、 the most industrious person might adopt it with advantage to serve as a reminder that, if one allows his faculties to rest, like the iron in the unused key, they will soon show signs of rust and, ultimately, cannot do the work required of them.Those who would attain the heights reached and kept by
8、great men must keep their faculties polished by constant use, so that they may unlock the doors of knowledge, the gate that guard the entrances to the professions, to science, art, literature, agriculture-every department of human endeavor.Industry keeps bright the key that opens the treasury of ach

If Hugh Miller, after toiling all day in a quarry, had devoted his evenings to rest and recreation, he would never have become a famous geologist.The celebrated mathematician, Edmund Stone, would never have published a mathematical dictionary, never have found the key to science of mathema
10、tics, if he had given his spare moments to idleness, had the little Scotch lad, Ferguson, allowed the busy brain to go to sleep while he tended sheep on the hillside instead of calculating the position of the stars by a string of beads, he would never have become a famous astronomer.Labor vanquishes
11、 all-not inconstant, spasmodic, or ill-directed labor; but faithful, unremitting, daily effort toward a well-directed purpose.Just as truly as eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so is eternal industry the price of noble and enduring success.如果我休息，我就会生锈在一把旧钥匙上发现了一则意义深远的铭文如果我休息，我就会生锈。对于那些懒散而烦恼
12、的人来说，这将是至理名言。甚至最为勤勉的人也以此作为警示：如果一个人有才能而不用，就像废弃钥匙上的铁一样，这些才能就会很快生锈，并最终无法完成安排给自己的工作。有些人想取得伟人所获得并保持的成就，他们就必须不断运用自身才能，以便开启知识的大门，即那些通往人类努力探求的各个领域的大门，这些领域包括各种职业：科学，艺术，文学，农业等。勤奋使开启成功宝库的钥匙保持光亮。如果休？米勒在采石场劳作一天后，晚上的时光用来休息消遣的话，他就不会成为名垂青史的地质学家。着名数学家爱德蒙？斯通如果闲暇时无所事事，就不会出版数学词典，也不会发现开启数学之门的钥匙。如果苏格兰青年弗格森在山坡上放羊时，让他那思维活跃
13、的大脑处于休息状态，而不是借助一串珠子计算星星的位置，他就不会成为着名的天文学家。劳动征服一切。这里所指的劳动不是断断续续的，间歇性的或方向偏差的劳动，而是坚定的，不懈的，方向正确的每日劳动。正如要想拥有自由就要时刻保持警惕一样，要想取得伟大的，持久的成功，就必须坚持不懈地努力。3.英语美文摘抄300字励志Instead of saying “I dont have time” try saying “its not a priority” and see how that feels. Often thats a perfectly adequate explanation. I have
14、time to iron my sheets, I just dont want to. But other things are harder. Try it:与其说“我没有时间”不如试着说“这事不紧急”，看看效果有什么不同。通常情况下，这个一个理由充分的借口。我有时间熨床单，但我就是懒得去做。那要是换成别的事情就没有说的这么轻巧了，试试下面的说法。”Im not going to edit your resume, sweetie, because its not a priority.”“亲爱的，我不会去帮你改简历的，因为这不是什么要紧的事情。”I dont go to the doct
15、or because my health is not a priority.”“我不会去看医生的，因为我的健康不是什么要紧的事情。”If these phrases dont sit well, thats the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we dont like how were spending an hour, we can choose differently.这些说法是不是听起来很怪，对，这就是重点。换个不同的表达方式，让我们意识到时间是一种选择。如何度过某个小时，根据我们的

18、do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮;在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。The towns poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.
19、Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving. Most think that they are above being supported by the town; but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means, which should be more disreputable.城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的
20、，不靠城镇来支援他们;可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old, return to them.视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。Things do not change; we change. Sel

By the time the old man made his next stop th
24、e neighbor had come near enough to see that he was picking up a starfish which had been stranded by the retreating tide and would, of course, die of dehydration before the tide returned. As the old man turned to return to the ocean the neighbor called out with a degree of mockery in his voice, “Hey,
25、 old timer! What are you doing? This beach goes on for hundreds of miles, and thousands of starfish get washed up every day! Surely you dont think that throwing a few back is going to matter.”一天，当老人又一次沿着海岸线走的时候，这个邻居跟在后面看看老人到底在干什么来满足自己的好奇心。他看到老人弯下腰轻轻地从沙滩上拣起什么东西又扔进了大海。当老人再次停下来时，这个邻居走上前一看，原来老人正在拣起一只被潮水冲到岸上的海星，这只海星在海水再次到来之前就会脱水而死。当老人返回的时候，这个邻居用一种嘲弄的口吻叫住他：“嘿，老家伙!你在做什么?这个海滩有数百英里长，每天都会有成千上万只海星冲上岸!你不知道你这样做实在是没什么意义吗?”The old man listened and paused for a moment, then held the starfish in his hand out toward his neighbor. “It matters to this on.”老人听完停了一会，把手中的那只海星拿到邻居眼前说：”对这只来说有意义。” 英语美文摘抄300字励志
