3. If the Dream is Big Enough为了心中的梦想

I used to watch her from my kitchen window, she seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. 我以前常常从厨房的窗户看到她穿梭于操场上的一群男孩子中间，她显得那么矮小。The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during recess. 学校在我家的街对面，我可以经常看到孩子们在下课时间打球。A sea of children, and yet to me, she stood out from them all. 尽管有一大群的孩子，但我觉得她跟其他的孩子截然不同。 I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. 我记得第一天看到她打篮球的情景。 I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. 看着她在其他孩子旁边兜来转去，我感到十分惊奇。She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. 她总是尽力地跳起投篮，球恰好越过那些孩子的头顶飞入篮筐。The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. 那些男孩总是拼命地阻止她，但没有人可以做得到。I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. 我开始注意到她有时候一个人打球。 She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark. 她一遍遍地练习运球和投篮，有时直到天黑。One day I asked her why she practiced so much. 有一天我问她为什么这么刻苦地练习。 She looked directly in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation she said, “I want to go to college. 她直视着我的眼睛，不加思索地说:“我想上大学。 The only way I can go is if I get a scholarship. 只有获得奖学金我才能上大学。 I like basketball. I decided that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. 我喜欢打篮球， 我想只要我打得好，我就能获得奖学金。 I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. 我要到大学去打篮球。我想成为最棒的球员。 My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” 我爸爸告诉我说，心中有目标，风雨不折腰。”Then she smiled and ran towards the court to recap the routine I had seen over and over again. 说完她笑了笑，跑向篮球场，又开始我之前见过的一遍又一遍的练习。Well, I had to give it to her—she was determined. 嘿，我服了她了——她是下定了决心了。 I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. 我看着她这些年从初中升到高中。 Every week, she led her varsity team to victory.每个星期，她带领的学校篮球代表队都能够获胜。

One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head cradled in her arms. 高中那会儿的某一天，我看见她坐在草地上，头埋在臂弯里。 I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. 我穿过街道，坐到她旁边的清凉的草地上。 Quietly I asked what was wrong. 我轻轻地问出什么事了。“Oh, nothing,” came a soft reply. “I am just too short.” “哦，没什么，”她轻声回答，“只是我太矮了。”The coach told her that at 5’5” she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team— much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college. 原来篮球教练告诉她，以五英尺五英寸的身材，她几乎是没有机会到一流的球队去打球的——更不用说会获得奖学金了——所以她应该放弃想上大学的梦想。She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. 她很伤心，我也觉得自己的喉咙发紧，因为我感觉到了她的失望。 I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. 我问她是否与她的爸爸谈过这件事。 She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. 她从臂弯里抬起头，告诉我，她爸爸说那些教练错了。 They just did not understand the power of a dream. 他们根本不懂得梦想的力量。He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship, that nothing could stop her except one thing — her own attitude. 他告诉

她，如果真的想到一个好的大学去打篮球，如果她真的想获得奖学金，任何东西也不能阻止她，除非她自己不愿意。He told her again, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” 他又一次跟她说：“心中有目标，风雨不折腰。” The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college

recruiter. 第二年，当她和她的球队去参加北加利福尼亚州冠军赛时，她被一位大学的招生人员看中了。She was indeed offered a scholarship, a full ride, to a Division 1, NCAA women’s basketball team. 她真的获得了奖学金，一个全面资助的奖学金，并且进入美国全国大学体育协会其中一队女子甲组篮球队。 She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.她将接受她曾梦想并为之奋斗多年的大学教育。

It’s true: If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.

4.态度决定生活

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer (contractor) of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.

一位老木匠打算退休了。他向自己所在的建筑公司雇主请辞，表示想要和自己的老伴以及大家庭去过一种更加闲适的生活。他会想念领薪水的日子，但他还是该退休了，他想日子总是能过下去的。

The contractor was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted

to shoddy workmanship and usedinferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

老板很舍不得自己的好员工离开，他对木匠说请你再建最后一座房子吧，就算是帮我个忙。木匠答应了，但很快就明显可以看出他的心已经不在工作上了。他用拙劣的技巧和劣质的材料建这座房子，用这种状态来结束他的职业生涯其实是一种遗憾。

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the house, the contractor handed the

front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."

木匠完成了他的工作，负责人来验收房屋，老板将这座房屋的前门钥匙递到了木匠手上，说：“这房子现在归你了，作为我给你的礼物。”

What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so

differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.

木匠顿时感到很震惊。多可惜啊！如果他知道是在为自己修建这所房子的话，他会完全以另一种态度来对待。而现在他不得不住在这座自己胡乱修建的房子里了。

So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.[/en

这个故事也映射了我们的生活状况。我们并没有用心经营自己的生活，总是抱怨而缺少实际行动，并没有全力以赴做到最好。最重要的一点是，我们没有为自己的工作付出百分之百的努力。然后，当我们回过头看为自己创造的生活条件时我们震惊了，和木匠一样我们后悔了，要是知道我们是在为自己的生活打拼，我们可能就会用一种完全不同的态度来对待了。

[en]Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and withdignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project."

想象一下你就是这个木匠，想象你正在建造这座房子，你每天钉进一颗钉子、安装一块板子或者筑起一面墙。请用心对待吧，这是唯一一个你为自己打造的生活。即使你只在里面住上一天，这一天也要活得有光彩、有尊严。正如格言所说，“生活是一个只有靠自己才能完成的项目。”

Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life

tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

谁还能说的再清楚些呢？你今天的生活就是你自己过去的态度和选择的结果，你未来的生活就是你现在的态度

5.

Night after night, she came to tuck me in, even long after my childhood years. Following her longstanding custom, she'd lean down and push my long hair out of the way, then kiss my forehead.夜复一夜，她总是来帮我来盖被子，即使我早已长大。这是妈妈的长期习惯，她总是弯下身来，拨开我的长发，在我的额上一吻。

I don't remember when it first started annoying me —— her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt work-worn and rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I lashed out at her: "Don't do that

anymore —— your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything in reply. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar expression of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words haunted me. But pride stifled my conscience, and I didn't tell her I was sorry.我不记得从何时起，她拨开我的头发令我非常不耐烦。但的确，我讨厌她长期操劳、粗糙的手摩擦我细嫩的皮肤。最后，一天晚上，我冲她叫： “别再这样了——你的手太粗糙了!”她什么也没说。但妈妈再也没有象这样对我表达她的爱。直到很久以后，我还是常想起我的那些话。但自尊占了上风，我没有告诉她我很后悔。

Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts returned to that night. By then I missed my mother's hands, missed her goodnight kiss upon my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very close, sometimes far away. But

always it lurked, hauntingly, in the back of my mind.时光流逝，我又想到那个晚上。那时我想念我妈妈的手，想念她晚上在我额上的一吻。有时这幕情景似乎很近，有时又似乎很遥远。但它总是潜伏着，时常浮现，出现在我意识中。

Well, the years have passed, and I'm not a little girl anymore. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and those hands I once thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family. She's been our doctor, reaching into a medicine cabinet for the remedy to calm a young girl's stomach or soothe a boy's scraped knee. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world…… gets stains out of blue jeans like I never could……and still insists on dishing out ice cream at any hour of the day or night.一年年过去，我也不再是一个小女孩，妈妈也有70多岁了。那双我认为很粗糙的手依然为我和我家庭做着事。她是我家的医生，为我女儿在药橱里找胃药或在我儿子擦伤的膝盖上敷药。她能烧出世界上最美味的鸡…… 将牛仔裤弄干净而我却永远不能……而且可以在任何时候盛出冰激凌。

Through the years, my mother's hands have put in countless hours of toil, and most of hers were before

automatic washers!这么多年来，妈妈的手做了多少家务!而且在自动洗衣机出现以前她已经操劳了绝大多数时间。

Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself

drawn next door to spend the night with her. So it was that late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I drifted into sleep in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly stole across my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so

gently, touched my brow.现在，我的孩子都已经长大，离开了家。爸爸去世了，有些时候，我睡在妈妈的隔壁房间。一次感恩节前夕的深夜，我睡在年轻时的卧室里，一只熟悉的手有些犹豫地、悄悄地略过我的脸，从我额头上拨开头发，然后一个吻，轻轻地印在我的眉毛上。

In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night my surly young voice complained: "Don't do that anymore —— your hands are too rough!" Catching Mom's hand in hand, I blurted out how sorry I was for that night. I thought she'd remember, as I did. But Mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten —— and forgiven —— long ago.在我的记忆中，无数次，想起那晚我粗暴、年青的声音：“别再这样了——你的手太粗糙了!”抓住妈妈的手，我冲口而出因为那晚，我是多么后悔。我以为她想起来了，象我一样。但妈妈不知道我在说些什么。她已经在很久以前就忘了这事，并早就原谅了我。

That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

1. Honesty

What is honesty? Honesty means speaking the truth and being fair and upright in act, it will be reflected in our day to day behavior. Honesty is a good habit. Considered a virtue, it is admired in every country and every culture. He who lies and cheats is dishonest. Dishonest is generally looked upon as an evil, and is despised and condemned by the society.

As the English proverb goes, honesty is the best policy. Honesty is important for our study, it will help us get the real ability and learning, prevent us from cheating. But to my surprise, some people consider honesty as a stranger and want to kick it away, some people try to get benefits by dishonest means. For example, when some students can't do their exercises, they copy from their classmates. From copying, they learn to lie. From acting a lie, they learn to cheat on tests or examinations, in order to get good marks.

The same thing may be said of a merchant who tries to get rich by deceiving customers and selling fake products. When those poor quality products caused heavy losses to the society, they didn't realize that they had done something guilty, or rather, they were proud of their so-called wisdom. Those people may succeed for a time, but sooner or later, they will be caught. In the end, no one will believe them and no one will trust them, dishonesty will bring them nothing but trouble, disgrace, and failure.

Honest is our personality. Honest is an attitude of mind. If we want to be succeeding in our life, the first qualification we should have is honesty. It is honesty that brings people together and makes people trust us. It is honesty that brings us the pleasure of being respected and loved by others. Sincerity, knowledge, support, open communication, and honesty will take us far in our future life.

Sometimes, it takes a lot of courage to be honest. But for those who live this way, the potential rewards are great. We require complete honesty in everything we do. We make commitments with care, and then live up to them. When we live our truth, we seem to have tremendous courage, to be able to face whatever situation. It seems that nothing can stop us. And our positive energy will influence the people around us.

Be honest in our study. Be honest in our life. Be honest can create more aliveness. Be honest can create more love to others. Be honest can create more contribution to our society.

Let us keep up the honesty.

2. Have faith, and expect the best

Good afternoon Ladies and gentlemen, my dear friends.

My name is Tian Xincheng.

I had an unforgettable experience which I would like to share with you. I used to think that everyone was as happy as I was.

Later, however, I met a fifteen-year-old boy who changed my mind and heart. Once, I went to a village for my holidays that was where I met him and we became good friends. He was wearing an old worn-out coat which was the poorest-looking clothes that I have ever seen! His eyes were so bright and

expressive, as if they were able to talk. He is the eldest among the children in his family, One day I invited him to take a walk along the river bank. He started talking a while after. He told me that he was expecting t
