Feather in the wind

A certain good woman one day said something that hurt her best friend of many years. She regretted immediately and would have done anything to have taken the words back . What she said hurt the friend so much that this good woman was herself hurt for the pain she caused . In an effort to undo what she had done , she went to an older ,wise woman in the village ,explained her situation ,and asked for advice.

Listening to her ，the older woman sensed the younger woman’s distress and knew she must help her . She also knew she could never alleviate the pain , but she could teach . She knew the outcome would depend solely on the character of the younger woman . She said ,“Tonight ,take your best feather pillows and put single feather on the doorstep of each house in the town before the sun rises.”

The young woman hurried home to prepare for her chore ,even though the feather pillows were very dear to her .All night long ,she labored alone in the cold 。Finally the sky was getting light ,she placed the last feather on the steps of the last house .Just as the sun rose ,she returned to the older woman.

“Now”,said the wise woman,“go back and refill your pillows with the feather you have put on the steps .then everything will be as it was before.”

“You know that’s impossible !the wind blew away each feather as fast as I placed them on the doorsteps !” the young woman was surprised .

“That’s true ,”said the older woman.“never forget .each of your words is like a feather in the wind .once spoken ,no amount of effort ,regardless how heartfelt or sincere ,can never return them to your mouth. Choose your words well and guard them most of all the presence of those of you love. ”

覆水難收

一位善良的女人一天說了一些話傷害了她最好的有多年友情的朋友；她話一出口就后悔了，她想做任何事來收回她的話。她的話傷害朋友如此之深，以至于這個善良的女人為自己給朋友造成痛苦而傷心不已。為了努力消除自己所做錯事的影響，她拜訪本村一位有智慧的年長婦女，介紹她的現(xiàn)狀，尋求解決辦法。

聽著年輕女的述說，年長女感覺到年輕女的憂傷，并且意識到自己得幫助年輕女。年長女知道她不可能減輕年輕女的傷痛，但她可以讓年輕女從中吸取教訓。她明白事情的結果只能是取決于年輕女的性格。她說：“今晚，拆開你最好的羽毛枕頭，在太陽升起之前，在本鎮(zhèn)每家的門階上放一根羽毛�！�

年輕女匆匆回家準備這事，盡管這些枕頭是她非常心愛的。一整夜，她獨自在嚴寒中勞動。最后，天放亮時，她終于將最后一根羽毛放在最后一家的臺階上。太陽升起時，她回到年長女的家。

“現(xiàn)在”，年長女說道，“回去再用你放在每家臺階上的羽毛把枕頭填滿，然后，一切事情就象是沒有發(fā)生過，一如往昔。

“你知道這是不可能的！我把羽毛一放在臺階上，風就把它們吹跑了！”年輕女非常驚訝年長女這個建議。

“沒錯�！蹦觊L女說道，“你要永遠記住，你的每句話就象是風中的羽毛，覆水難收。一旦不計后果，話已說出，盡管你的愿望是如何真心、如何誠意，但說話如沷水不可收回。適

當選擇你的話，并且當心你的話，特別特別是在那些為你所愛的人面前。”

This I Believe

By John D. Rockefeller

I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and his right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.

I believe that every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation, every possession, a duty.

I believe that the law was made for man and not man for the law; that government is the servant of the people and not their master.

I believe in the dignity of labor whether with head or hand; that the world owes no man a living but that it owes every man an opportunity to make a living.

I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living and that economy is a prime requisite of a sound financial structure, whether in government, business or personal affairs.

I believe that truth and justice are fundamental to an enduring social order.

I believe in the sacredness of a promise, that a man’s word should be as good as his bond; that character - not wealth or power or position is of supreme worth.

I believe that the rendering of useful service is the common duty of mankind and that only in the purifying fire of sacrifice is the dross of selfishness consumed and the greatness of the human soul set free.

I believe in the all-wise and all-lov

ing God; named by whatever name, and that individual’s highest fulfillment, greatest happiness and widest usefulness are to be found in living in harmony with his will. 10. I believe that love is the greatest thing the world; that it alone can overcome hate; that right can and will triumph over might.

洛克菲勒家族信條

我信仰個人的價值至上，我信仰個人對生命，自由和追求幸福權利的價值無與倫比。 我相信每一種權利皆包含一種責任；每一個機會皆包含一個義務；每一次擁有皆包含一份職責。

我相信法律是為人所制定，而非人為法律所創(chuàng)造；我相信政府是人民的仆人，而非人民的主人。

我信仰人因工作而高貴陽市，而不管是腦力和體力；我相信世界對人類之生存并不負有義務，它卻給予人人謀生的機會。

我相信節(jié)儉是理性生活之不可或缺，我相信無論是在政府內(nèi)，還是在商務或個人事務中，節(jié)約在健全的財政架構中是最基本的需要。

我相信真理與正義是維護社會秩序的基石。

我相信諾言神圣，相信人當言而有信；我相信品德——而非財富，權力，地位---的價值無限。

我相信樂善好施是人類共同之義務，我相信只有在奉獻的純凈火焰中自私自利的渣滓才能毀滅，人類靈魂的偉大才得以自由展現(xiàn)。

我信仰全能全知和博愛的上帝，不論如何冠其名，皆可以與上帝意志和諧的生活中發(fā)現(xiàn)一個人的最大的滿足，最大的幸福和最廣泛的價值體現(xiàn)。

我相信愛是人世間最偉大之物；相信惟有愛能戰(zhàn)勝仇恨；相信正義必將戰(zhàn)勝強權力量。

Excuses

Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter.

People say they'd like to do this or that,but...then they offer all the excuses in the world why they can't do whatever it is.No matter what the excuses are,the only thing usually limiting them is their own self-perception.

If I've learned anyhing,I've learned a person--any person--can do just about anything they set their mind to.The only thing they need is a willingness to work for what you want,patience to learn what you need to know,and just a little bit of belief in yourself,but you only need a seed.Your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward.

If you self-perception is that you can't accompilsh somthing because you're not smart enough,then take the time to learn what you need to know and your self-perception will change. If your self-perception is that you can't accompilsh something because you never finsh anything you start,then go finsh something and change your self-perception.

If your self-perception is that you're too lazy,too bust,too unworthy,too unfocused,too depressed,too dependent on others,the you're right.You are that because you believe that,but you can change that!

Life is change,and the past doesn't equal the future.Your today is the result of your past beliefs and actions.Change your beliefs and action and you change your future.If you think you can or you can't,you're right.You are what you think.

Think about that the next time you need an excuse.

借口

有些人站在“借口”這一柜臺后虛度一生。

有人說，自己想做這個，想做那個，但是······于是便給出他們所能找到的各種借口，來解釋自己為什么不能去做這些事。無論借口是什么，大概唯一能限制他們行動的只是他們的自我意識。

如果說我學到了什么，那就是我意識到一個人——任何人——都可以做他決定想做的一切。你唯一需要的是：為理想而努力的意志，學習所需知識的耐心和一點點自信。其實最需要的只是自信的一粒小小的種籽。自信會隨著你的進步而增強。如果你自以為不夠聰明而無法成功，那就花時間去學習你所需要的知識，這樣你的自我感覺就會改變。

如果你認為自己太懶惰 ，太忙碌，太無足輕重，太不專心，太消沉，太依賴別人，太這樣太那樣而不能成大器，那么你是對的。你相信如此，便會如此。但你能改變一切。

生活無時無刻不在變化，過去不等于將來。你的現(xiàn)在是你過去的信念與行動的結果。改變信念和行動就會改變你的未來。你認為自己能或不能，你都是對的。你就是你所認為的樣子 。

下次需要找借口時，請好好想想
