When you look back on yourself in the past – 10, 20, 30 or more years ago – it’s surprising to see how much you have changed over time. Your experiences, your friends, your family and your work have all shaped who you are right now. But where will you be in another few years? How will you have changed? Reflective writing in your journal is an excellent way to think about what you want out of the future.
当你10年、20年或更多年后回顾过去时,你会吃惊地发现,随着时光的流逝,你也发生了很大的变化。你的经历、朋友、家庭和工作造就了现在的你。但是再过几年你会在哪里呢?你会如何变化呢?这样反思性的写作,会是思考未来你想要什么的一种好的方式。
You may have already written a letter to your younger self before, conveying all the wisdom and perspective you wish you had had at the time. Now consider the opposite end of the spectrum; what would you say if you wrote your future self a letter?
你也许以前试过给过去的自己写信,向年轻时的自己传授一些人生的智慧和观点,你希望那时候的自己就能知道这些。现在我们换个角度看问题,如果让你给未来的自己写封信,你会写点什么?
Just imagine writing a letter to your future self 5 years from now, then opening it at that exact moment 5 years down the road to see how much of it resonated with you. It is a useful supplementary tool to be used in goal achievement, because when you write the letter to your future self, it helps crystallize exactly how you anticipate yourself to become at that specific moment down the road.
想象一下,给5年后的'自己写一封信,当5年后你打开那封信时,你会产生多少共鸣。这是实现目标的一种有用的辅助工具,因为当你给未来的自己写信时,你会慢慢理清希望自己在人生旅途的那个特定时刻变成什么样子。
As you read the letter in the future, you can assess how many things match up (or not vs. your expectations in the past and think about why that’s the case. Often times, the goals we set and our goal achievement process are subjected to a lot of changes along the way, due to varying obstacles, unanticipated circumstances and changing priorities. The letter gives you a macro-view of your initial vision and lets you recognize how your current vision differs from the past.
当你在未来读这封信时,你可以看看有多少事情是像你过去期望的那样,你也会思考为什么会这样。很多时候,我们设定目标在实现的过程中会受到沿途中各种因素的影响,因为会遇到各种各样的困难、各种意外情况并需要不断调整优先级。这封信能让你从宏观的角度上去看自己最初的愿景,让你意识到自己现在的想法和过去相比有多么不同。
When you open the letter in the future, you as your future self gets to compare how you used to be in the past and compare with how you are currently. This lets you see in totality how much things have changed since then – and this can be a really intriguingexperience. It’s interesting to just see how much you have grown/changed since you wrote the letter.
当你以后看信时,你会把过去的自己和现在的自己进行比较。这会让你看清从写信时起你发生了哪些变化,这种体验是非常有趣的。光看看从你写信开始发生了哪些变化就很有趣了。
一位父亲有几个孩子,这些孩子时常发生口角。他丝毫没有办法来劝阻他们,只好让他们看看不合群所带来害处的例子。为了达到这个目的,有一天他叫他们替他拿一捆细柴来。当他们把柴带来时,他便先后地将那捆柴放在每一个孩子的手中,吩咐他们弄断这捆柴。他们一个个尽力去试,总是不能成功。
然后他解开那捆柴,一根根地放在他们手里,如此一来,他们便毫不费力地折断了。于是他就告诉他们说:「孩子们!如果你们大家团结一致,互相帮助,你们就像这捆柴一样,不能被你们的敌人折断;但如果你们自行,你们就将和这些散柴一般,不堪一折了。」
Country Garden and Me
On the way from Panyu City to Shunde City and approaching the conjunction point of both cities, a big advertisement board of the infamous Country Garden will catch your eyes. And on the board, a lovely girl gently holds a little white pigeon.
She looks at everybody with a sweet smile. Who is this girl? Let me tell you later. Country Garden is located at the Beijao town, Shunde City of Guangdong Province. Ten years ago when my Dad and Mom took me as a baby to Guangzhou, it was a wasteland here. But what does this piece of wasteland look like nowadays? Country Garden has been developed and enlarged rapidly on the ground of this land, and a great number of high-quality houses and apartments have been built up within the garden. Over the past decade, other nine country gardens with various unique designs have been erasing around the great city of Guangzhou. The construction and management of several gardens have engaged the devoted contributions from my Dad and Mom.
Country Garden has grown up together with me, and I am one of the witnesses of its growth and development.
City traffic is a big problem in some cities in the world, especially in big cities. To solve the problem, someone are in favor of developing buses as means of city traffic. Others are in favor of the subway. Between them,which is the better choice?
在世界上的一些城市中城市交通是一个大问题,尤其是大城市。为了解决这个问题,有人赞成发展公交车作为城市交通的方式。另一些人则赞成地铁。在它们之间,哪个是更好的`选择?
It is easier to take buses as means of city traffic than the subway trains because buses don't need special roads. But buses have also many disadvantages, some of which are very serious. They may cause louder noise and more traffic accidents. Buses give rise to serious air pollution and traffic jam. In order to stop what buses cause, a large amount of hand must be used to widen the roads. On the contrary, the subway train is of more advantages. Except the difficulty and high cost of building the subway, it is superior to the buses in many aspects.
公共汽车作为城市交通方式要比地铁容易,因为公共汽车不需要特别的道路。但是公交车也许多缺点,有些是非常严重的。他们可能会导致噪音和更多的交通事故。公共汽车也导致了严重的空气污染和交通堵塞。为了阻止公交车带来的后果,必须用大量的人力来拓宽道路。相反,地铁列车有着更多的优势。除了建设地铁的难度和高成本外,在许多方面它都优于公共汽车。
Taking the advantages and disadvantages together into consideration,I would be in favor of developing the subway train as soon as possible.
把优点和缺点一起考虑,我会赞成尽快发展地铁。
Father had a family of sons who were perpetually quarrelling among themselves. When he failed to heal their disputes by his exhortations, he determined to give them a practical illustration of the evils of disunion; and for this purpose he one day told them to bring him a bundle of sticks. When they had done so, he placed the faggot into the hands of each of them in succession, and ordered them to break it in pieces. They each tried with all their strength, and were not able to do it.
He next unclosed the faggot, and took the sticks separately, one by one, and again put them into their hands, on which they broke them easily. He then
addressed them in these words: "My sons, if you are of one mind, and unite to assist each other, you will be as this faggot, uninjured by all the attempts of your enemies; but if you are divided among yourselves, you will be broken as easily as these sticks."
当我上三年级的时候,一次回答问题的时候,我回答错了,当时我很难堪,心想:那么多同学的目光、老师的目光都在我身上呢,我怎么能回答错呢!
可让我万万没有想到的是:杨老师并没有严厉的批评我,只是用鼓励的眼神看了看我,用一句温暖的话让我坐下了。她说:“每个人都会犯错误,但是,只要你努力学习,就能够成为对社会有用的人!”杨老师还让我课下去她的办公室,老师语重心长的说:“滢昊,每个人都会犯错,只要你勇于承认错误,并改正过来,成功就在你的面前。”听了老师的'一番话,我的心里流过一丝暖流。
我们班里还有一些同学的作业完成的不好,杨老师经常给予他们鼓励。杨老师经常说:“可怕的不是没有完成作业或是没有带,可怕的是不敢承认!”每当同学们情绪低落,垂头丧气时,杨老师总能及时给予他们鼓励,让他们重新振作起来,让他们继续向目标前进!
我深深感谢杨老师,她在我们需要鼓励和帮助的时候向我们伸出了援手,让我们克服困难,养成良好的学习习惯。
这样的老师,我们怎么能不爱戴?
经常扎着两根小辫子的雅虹有一张白里透红、圆圆并充满智慧的小脸蛋,细细的黑眉毛下面长着一双不大不小的眼睛,里面闪烁着稍带淘气的光,小巧玲珑的`鼻子微微向上翘,粉红色的小嘴说起话来很真切。
雅虹的学习成绩不错,还是我们班的语、数组长,讲起英语来很流利,其他科目的成绩也名列前茅。
由于雅虹善良热情,所以我和雅虹经常“谈天说地”,下课时说,放学了的时候说,偶尔碰到了也要说一会儿,雅虹自然成为和我交谈最多的好朋友之一了。
我们班上许多同桌之间都要在课桌上“划清界线”,而我们也不例外,但每当我超过“界线”时,她只总是满不在乎地说:“超过‘线’了!”却从来没有认真和我计较过。
我因鼻子过敏鼻涕奇特的多,所以我就是班上的“二大鼻涕虫”之一。记得有一天,轮到我们小组值日,我正在扫地,突然看到雅虹正在用她那洁白无瑕的小手,把我放在抽屉里擦完鼻涕的纸一张张地拿出来放在垃圾桶里。那肮脏的鼻涕纸是那么恶心,她却一点也不在乎。看到这一切,我的脸“刷”地一下红了,我深深地感到激动和惭愧,在我眼中,雅虹变得更加美了!
多好的雅虹啊!难道我还要和她“划清界线”?她现在已经不是我的同桌了,我希望她以后别忘记我这个同桌和我们之间的友谊,也希望同学之间互相谅解和爱护!
