公平对待命运

Most people complain of fortune, few of nature;and the kinder they think the latter has been to them, the more they murmur at what they call the injustice of the former.Why have not I the riches, the rank, the power, of such and such, is the common expostulation with fortune;but why have not I the merit, the talents, the wit, or the beauty, of such and such others, is a reproach rarely or never made to nature.The truth is, that nature, seldom profuse, and seldom niggardly, has distributed her gifts more equally than she is generally supposed to have done.Education and situation make the great difference.Culture improves, and occasions elicit, natural talents I make no doubt but that there are potentially, if I may use that pedantic word, many Bacons, Lockes, Newtons, Caesars, Cromwells, and Mariboroughs at the ploughtail behind counters, and, perhaps, even among the nobility;but the soil must be cultivated, and the season favourable, for the fruit to have all its spirit and flavour.If sometimes our common parent has been a little partial, and not kept the scales quite even;if one preponderates too much, we throw into the lighter a due counterpoise of vanity, which never fails to set all right.Hence it happens, that hardly any one man would, without reverse, and in every particular, change with any other.Though all are thus satisfied with the dispensations of nature, how few listen to her voice!How to follow her as a guide!In vain she points out to us the plain and direct way to truth, vanity, fancy, affection, and fashion assume her shape and wind us through fairy-ground to folly and error.既然能对自己宽容何不给他人多一点耐心

It is curious that our own offenses should seem so much less heinous than the offenses of others.I suppose the reason is that we know all the circumstances that have occasioned them and so manage to excuse in ourselves what we cannot excuse in others.We turn our attention away from our own defects, and when we are forced by untoward events to consider them, find it easy to condone them.For all I know we are right to do this;they are part of us and we must accept the good and bad in ourselves together.But when we come to judge others, it is not by ourselves as we really are that we judge them, but by an image that we have formed of ourselves from which we have left out everything that offends our vanity or would discredit us in the eyes of the world.To take a trivial instance: how scornful we are when we catch someone out telling a lie;but who can say that he has never told not one, but a hundred? There is not much to choose between men.They are all a hotchpotch of greatness and littleness, of virtue and vice, of nobility and baseness.Some have more strength of character, or more opportunity, and so in one direction or another give their instincts freer play, but potentially they are the same.For my part, I do not think I am any better or any worse than most people, but I know that if I set down every action in my life and every thought that has crossed my mind, the world would consider me a monster of depravity.The knowledge that these reveries are common to all men should inspire one with tolerance to oneself as well as to others.It is well also if they enable us to look upon our fellows, even the most eminent and respectable, with humor, and if they lead us to take ourselves not too seriously.

A fable story

The little boy who saved the dying sister by singing

——09师英2班7号 宫旭 Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new siblin.They find out that the new baby is going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sings to his sister in Mommy's tummy.The pregnancy progresses normally for Karen, an active member of the Panther Creek United Methodist Church in Morristown, Tennessee.Then the labor pains come.Every five minutes, every minute.But complications arise during delivery.Hours of labor.Would a C-section be required?

Finally, Michael's little sister is born.But she is in serious condition.With siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushes the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St.Mary's Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee.The days inch by.The little girl gets worse.The pediatric specialist tells the parents, “There is very little hope.Be prepared for the worst.”

Karen and her husband contact a local cemetery about a burial plot.They have fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby now they plan a funeral.Michael, keeps begging his parents to let him see his sister, “I want to sing to her,” he says.Week two in intensive care.It looks as if a funeral will come before the week is over.Michael keeps nagging about singing to his sister, but kids are never allowed in Intensive Care.But Karen makes up her mind.She will take Michael whether they like it or not.If he doesn't see his sister now, he may never see her alive.She dresses him in an oversized scrub suit and marches him into ICU.He looks like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognizes him as a child and bellows, “Get that kid out of here now!No children are allowed.The mother rises up strong in Karen, and the usually mild-mannered lady glares steel-eyed into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line.”He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!“

Karen tows Michael to his sister's bedside.He gazes at the tiny infant losing the battle to live.And he begins to sing.In the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sings:

”You are my sunshine, my only sunshine;you make me happy when skies are gray...“ Instantly the baby girl responds.The pulse rate becomes calm and steady.Keep on singing, Michael.”You never know, dear, how much I love you, Please don't take my sunshine away...“ The ragged, strained breathing becomes as smooth as a kitten's purr.Keep on singing, Michael.”The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms...“ Michael's little sister relaxes as rest, healing rest, seems to sweep over her.Keep on singing, Michael.Tears conquer the face of the bossy head nurse.Karen glows.”You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.Please don't, take my sunshine away.“

Funeral plans are scrapped.The next day, the very next day, the little girl is well enough to go home!Woman's Day magazine called it ”the miracle of a brother's song." The medical staff just called it a miracle.Karen called it a miracle of God's love!

感想：

The story tells us that never give up the person you love.It’s a miracle of love.中文译文：

和其他称职的母亲一样，当凯伦发现自己再次怀孕之时，她尽她所能去帮助自己三岁的儿子迈克尔接受即将出生的孩子。后来大家得知新生儿是女孩，于是一天天，一夜夜，迈克尔不停地唱歌给还在妈妈肚子里的小妹妹听。

凯伦住在田纳西州莫里斯镇，是卫理公会的虔诚信徒。凯伦的怀孕过程很顺利，终于到了生产的那一天。先是每隔5分钟疼一次，然后每分钟都会疼。生产的时候出现了异常，持续了好几个钟头。需要剖腹产吗？

迈克尔的妹妹终于出生了。但她的情况很糟。救护车呼啸着连夜把她送到田纳西州诺克斯维尔圣玛丽医院的新生儿重症监护室。一天天过去了，妹妹的情况却更严重了。儿科专家通知父母，“没什么希望了。做好最坏的打算。”

凯伦与丈夫联系了当地的墓园商讨安葬地的事宜。他们本来在家里给孩子准备了一间儿童房，而现在他们却得筹备一场葬礼。迈克尔一直不停的央求父母让他见见小妹妹，他说：“我想给她唱歌。”

在重症监护室住了两周之后，小妹妹似乎坚持不了多久了。迈克尔一直吵着要给妹妹唱歌，可重症监护室禁止儿童进入。但凯伦下定了决心，不管别人愿不愿意，她都要带迈克尔进去。如果现在不让他看，他可能再也见不到活着的妹妹了。她给他穿上大号消毒服，快歩带他走进ICU病房。他看起来挺像会走的洗衣篮，但还是被护士长给看出来了，护士长大叫，“把那个小孩领出去！这不让小孩进！”一股强烈的母性在Karen体内应运而生，这位平日里温柔的女性眼睛一眨也不眨的盯着护士长的脸，嘴角显出坚毅的线条

“他要进去，唱歌给妹妹听！”

凯伦拉着迈克尔来到妹妹床前。他凝视着这个即将离开人世的小婴儿，开始唱歌。Michael用他三岁孩子稚嫩的童音，发自内心的歌唱：

“你是我的阳光，我唯一的阳光，你让阴郁的天空充满欢笑……”

妹妹马上有了反应，脉搏变得平缓稳定。

接着唱，迈克尔。

“你从不知道，宝贝，我是多美爱你，请别带走我的阳光……”

妹妹急促而紧张的呼吸变得如同心满意足的小猫般顺畅。

接着唱，迈克尔。

“那天晚上，宝贝，在梦乡，我梦到揽你入臂膀……”

迈克尔的小妹妹终于轻松起来，可以休息了，她似乎逐渐在休息中康复。接着唱，迈克尔。

专横的护士长脸上滑落点点泪珠。凯伦则兴奋的涨红了脸。

“你是我的阳光，我唯一的阳光。请不要，带走我的阳光。”

葬礼取消了。第二天，真的是第二天，妹妹就康复出院了！

第三篇：职场寓意小故事

1、一年轻人觉得自己怀才不遇，有位老人听了，随即把一粒沙子扔在沙滩上，说：“请把它找回来。”“这怎么可能！”接着老人又把一颗珍珠扔到沙滩上，“那现在呢？”如果你只是沙滩中的一粒沙，那你不能苛求别人注意你，认可你。如果要别人认可你，那就想办法让自己变成一颗珍珠。

2、雄狮远远地看见一条疯狗，赶紧躲开了。小狮子说：“爸爸，你敢于和老虎拼斗，与猎豹争雄，如今却躲避一条疯狗，多丢人啊！” 雄狮说：“孩子，我问你，打败一条疯狗光荣不光荣？” 小狮子摇摇头。让疯狗咬一口倒霉不倒霉？ 小狮子点点头。既然如此，干吗要去招惹一条疯狗呢？

3、【你会沟通吗？】

1、与老人沟通，不要忘了他的自尊。

2、与男人沟通，不要忘了他的面子。

3、与女人沟通，不要忘了她的情绪。

4、与上级沟通，不要忘了他的尊严。

5、与年轻人沟通，不要忘了他的直接。

6、与儿童沟通，不要忘了他的天真。——一种态度走天下，必然处处碰壁；因人而异，才能四海通达。

4、有一家瓜子店生意特火，问起其中玄机，老板说：“在称量时，别家是先抓一大把，称的时候再把多的拿掉；而我家是先少抓一点，然后再添足称。„拿掉‟容易给人缺斤短两的心理暗示，而„添点‟则让人感到分量给得很足，所以大家乐于登门。”看似细小的动作，却能带来意想不到的收获。（态度决定一切，细节决定成败）

5、【哈佛大学图书馆馆训】：1.现在睡觉的话，会做梦；而现在学习的话，会让梦实现。2.我无所事事的度过了今天，是昨天死去的人们所期望的明天。3.学习不是人生的全部，但学习都征服不了，那你还能做什么？ 4.今天不想走，明天就要跑了。5.此刻睡觉的口水将变成明天流下的泪水。

6、【职场提示】其实文凭不过是一张火车票，清华的软卧，本科的硬卧，专科的硬座，民办的站票，成教的在厕所挤着。火车到站，都下车找工作，才发现老板并不太关心你是怎么来的，只关心你会干什么。（学历是门槛，能力是关键）

7、【防止职场里的“懒马效应”】两马各拉一货车。一马走得快，一马慢吞吞。于是主人把后面的货全搬到前面。后面的马笑了：“切！越努力越遭折磨！”谁知主人后来想：既然一匹马就能拉车,干嘛养两匹？最后懒马被宰吃了。经济学中的懒马效应——（让老板觉得你可有可无，你被踢开的日子就不远了）

8、【逆向思维】 一位老人在火车上，不小心把刚买的新鞋从窗口掉了一只，周围的人倍感惋惜，不料老人立即把第二只鞋也从窗口扔了下去。这更让人大吃一惊。老人解释说：“这一只鞋无论多么昂贵，对我而言已经没有用了，如果有谁能捡到一双鞋子，说不定他还能穿呢！”你体会到了什么？（成功者善于放弃，善于从损失中看到价值。）

Sand and stone

The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert.During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the said:” Today my best friend slapped me in the face.”They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath.The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started

drowning, but the friend saved him.After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on stone: Today my best friend saved my life.The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone.why?

The other friend replied: When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away.But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind ever erases it.Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your benefits in stone.They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to forget him.Send this phrase to the people you will never forget.It is a short message to let them know that you will never forget them.Take the time to live.伤害只写在沙地上

两个朋友在荒漠里穿行，途中他们发上了争执；其中一个人单了另一位一个耳光。被达的人非常伤心，但他什么也没说，只是在沙地上写到：“今天，我最好的朋友打了我一个耳光。”

他们继续往前走，发现了一片绿洲，他们决定在那里洗个澡。结果，被打的那位陷进了泥潭，眼看就要被淹死，结果他的朋友救了他。恢复过来都他在石头上写到：“今天，我最好的朋友救了我的命。”

那位打他并救了他的朋友问：“为什么我伤害你时，你在沙地上写下来，而现在却在石头上刻下来呢？”

被救的那位答到：“受到伤害时，我们应该把他写在沙地上，宽恕之风会将它抹平。可是受人恩惠时，我们应该把它刻在石头上，任何风雨也不会把它擦掉。” 学会将所受的伤害写在沙子上，把所的的恩德刻在石头上。有人这样说，找到一个特别的人只需要用一分钟，欣赏他需要用一小时，喜欢他需要用一天，但忘掉他却需要用一生的时间。

把这句话送给那些你永远无法忘记的人吧。这段短短的话能让他们知道你永远不会忘记他们。

此生不忘。
