人生成功十二课

第1课：Be a lifelong learner

Learning doesn’t finish when you leave school.

Learning can become a way of life which helps you to achieve your greatest potential.

We never stop learning; there is always something new and interesting to discover.

Learning new skills can be a bit scary but we all need to do this each time we reach a personal learning plateau.

Cross the plateau by actively seeking support and advice.

Take up some training, further education, night classes – any new interest which will help you to develop your strengths.

Keep looking and listening and keep your brain active. You are never old to learn.

译文：做一个终生学习的人

离开学校并不意味着学习就结束了。

学习可以成为一种生活方式，帮助你发挥最大的潜能。

我们从未停止学习，总会有新的，有趣的东西等待我们去发现。

学习新的技能可能让人感到有一点恐惧，但每当我们在个人学习上停滞不前时，我们都需要去学习新的东西。

积极地寻求支援和建议，突破停滞期。

参加一些培训，进修，夜校－任何新的兴趣都将会有助于发展你的优势。

多看，多听，让你的头脑保持活跃。活到老，学到老。

第2课：Get yourself busy

The secret of being miserable is to have the leisure to bother about whether you are happy or not. So don’t bother to think about it! Spit on your hands and get busy. Your blood will start circulating; you mind will start ticking – and pretty soon this whole positive upsurge of life in your body will drive worry from your mind.

Get busy. Keep busy. It’s the cheapest kind of medicine there is on this earth – and one of the best.

译文：让自己忙起来

令自己感到沮丧的秘诀就是用空闲时间去烦恼自己是否快乐。所以不要费事去想它！摩拳擦掌干起来吧。你将热血沸腾，你会头脑清醒。很快，在你身体中的这种高涨的积极人生观将把烦恼从你的头脑中赶出去。

行动起来，忙碌起来。这是世界上最便宜的一种药，也是最好的一种。

第3课：Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity

There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I cannot perfect myself without hardship.

Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment may present……to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.

Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.

译文：在困境中寻找成功的希望

逆境是一所最好的学校。每一次失败，每一次打击，每一次损失，都蕴育着成功的萌芽，都教会我在下一次有更出色的表现。我再也不会逃避现实，也不会拒绝从以往的错误中获取经验，我不再因此而促成自己的失败。因为我知道，宝玉不经磨砺就不能发光，没有，我也不能完善自我。

现在我知道，灵魂倍受煎熬的时刻，也正是生命中最多选择与机会的时刻。任何事情的成败取决于我在寻求帮助时是抬起头还是低下头。无论何时，当我被可怕的失败击倒，在最初的阵痛过去之后，我都要想方设法将苦难变成好事。伟大的机遇就在这一刻闪现－这苦涩的根必将迎来满园芬芳！

我将一直在困境中寻找成功的希望。

第4课：No one can make you feel inferior

I choose to feel good about myself. That way I am more open to learning. If people give me negative feedback or criticize something I do, I don’t interpret
