　　乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去.房子十分漂亮,好吃的东西也为他们摆好了.但是正当他们要开始吃的时候,听见很大的一阵响声,城里的老鼠叫喊起来:“快跑!快跑!猫来了!”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来.

　　过了一会儿,他们出来了.当他们出来时,乡下老鼠说:“我不喜欢住在城里,我喜欢住在田野我的洞里.因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在,比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说,要好些.”

　　翻译:情绪是别人的

　　好多人认为情绪是自我的`,其实,情绪还是别人的一段时光,我身体不是很好,感觉烦燥,妻子对我说,身体不好就去看,你这样对身体也没好处啊!你不高兴,喊和孩子能高兴吗?还有一次,父亲说话,我感觉烦.妻子说,既然父亲说了,你就答应,至于你怎样做,还不是你说了算,我们能为老人做什么.只能让他们高兴.我也为此深感内疚.

　　人刚出生就有了情绪.那时,饿了就哭,不隐瞒情绪.长大后明白了,情绪能够掩盖,能够调节,这才有了面具之说.

　　按说情绪是自我的,自我能够想怎样就怎样,但其实,因为你的情绪而影响了别人情绪,从这个好处上说,情绪就是别人的如果你能把情绪当作是别人的,也许就会多一份职责,少一份任性;多一份理解,少一份固执;多一份关爱,少一份自私;多一份和谙,少一份纷争.

　　翻译:谦逊是把双刃剑

　　大学时代,马克·赫德曾被一位老师提名竞争学生会主席.尽管他信心十足,但由于他在回答校方提问时表现得过于谦逊和谨慎,以致与这个职位失之交臂,且在毕业就业时受此影响,未能进入心仪的公司.

　　虽然马克最终以自我出色的潜力被惠普公司聘用,但是他依旧觉得沮丧.他反思了许久,得出了一个结论-自我被所谓的“谦逊”迷惑.失去去了最好的机会.之后,马克凭着自我的潜力,出任了惠普的CEO.

　　那天,董事会来电话,要他参加董事会议.马克觉得会上场景似曾相识.董事们有意让马克接任惠普的CEO,因为在产品宣传与销售问匙上,惠普遇到了难题.

　　同样一个问题:你有信心把惠普做得更好吗?

　　马克给出了与上一次不一样的回答.他说:“这是毫无疑问的,至少我保证,状况不会像此刻这么糟糕!”

　　事实上,透过考验的马克,表现出了极强的个人潜力.自从他出任CEO后,惠普产品多面开花,透过筛选渠道,减少成本,加大宣传,经营业绩稳步增长.

　　在理解电视采访的时候,主持人问:“有人说,你的形象是儒雅,知性,睿智,谦逊的的怎样看?”马克着重就“谦逊”谈了自我的'见解.他认为,不恰当的“谦逊”是把双刃剑,往往会断了“谦逊者”的发展之路.

　　马克说:“要做到真正的谦逊,需要明白三点:

　　首先,谦逊不是自我否定,自我否定只能让你与机会擦肩而过并留下惋惜.其次,谦逊就是把话说到你的潜力值以下,比如你能考A,那么先肯定自我能考B+.

　　最后,谦逊不是在应对别人质疑.或者应对问题的时候说‘哦,我想我办不到’,而是懂得抓住机会.成功之后,应对别人的赞美时说:‘其实没什么,只

　　要努力,每个人都能做到!”’

　　翻译:容易走的都是下坡路

　　他在一所大学做教授,90岁的时候,荏苒每一天坚持工作8小时,不论春秋冬夏,也不论风霜雨雪.

　　他的秘书说:“他很衰弱,但是每一天逼着自我从住的地方走过两个街口到办公室来,这段路要走一个小时,他却必须要走,因为这使他自觉有成就感.”

　　有一天,有个大学生从他办公室里出来,捧着一大堆书,一脸不高兴的抱怨:“总是这一套.我问一个和简单的问题,他能够用一个’是’或’否’回答,却给我十几本书,说能够在这些书里找到我所要的'答案.”

　　他之后明白了这个学生的抱怨,微笑着说:“这就是我学到的读书方法,艰难费事的方法.那孩子如能好好的钻研这些书,就能够了解这个问题,将来也许能成为一个好律师.”

　　这个90岁的老人就是曾任美国哈佛大学法学院院长的庞德.

　　有一位哲学家说:“你就应每一两天做一些你不想做的事.”

　　这是人生进步的基础.

　　正如另一位哲人所说“容易走的都是下坡路.”

　　翻译:事情有多重要

　　我有一个手提箱要给你,里面有100万美元现金.手提箱放在离你此刻住的地方大约1小时车程的一幢大楼上,条件是:你要在2小时内到达那幢大楼.如果在2个小时之内到,我就把皮箱交给你,你就多了100万美元.但是只要你迟到一分钟,你就一分钱都得不到.那么你什么时候出发去拿幢大楼呢?

　　如果你去看牙医,在路上也发生堵车,你肯定会转回家,跟牙医约另一天.这两种状况为什么会不一样?因为出行的目的是不一样的如果你要做的事情对你十分重要,再大的困难你都会设法克服;如果你觉得要做的事情不是很重要,遇到困难你就会放下了.

　　所以,克服困难的最好的方法,就是把你要做的事情看得十分重要.

　　翻译:看着前方

　　一个朋友对我说:“当你忧伤时,请看着前方.”

　　说来也怪,每当自我忧伤时,我很少看着前方,不是低低垂首,就是闭目不瞻,即便抬头仰望星空,也是越看越茫然.忧伤时,自我的视野真的窄了.

　　这个朋友有一个冰雪聪明的女儿,美丽得像朵舞蹈着的花,但她完全看不到外边的世界.朋友以前悲哀欲绝,但没有人能够帮忙到他疗伤,是残酷的生活教会他看着前方,发现和拥有那些前行一段路程才能得到的喜悦.

　　看着前方,他看到已经长大的女儿--她更加漂亮乖巧,学会了自我照顾自我;她穿上了黑色的练功服、白色的舞蹈鞋,黑黑的头发盘得高高的,用发光的发带竖了起来;她时刻微笑着,那是汇集在她嘴角的点点明媚的春光;她变得坚强睿智,能够自食其力,如她所愿,果真成了一名受人欢迎的`舞蹈老师...

　　我们敲门时,上帝总是不在家.诗人朗费罗为此感慨不已:“你的命运一如他人,每个生命都会下雨.”下雨时,忧伤时,最值得做的事情就像这位朋友所说的:看着前方!一分钟不行,再看一分钟,久久地看,一次又一次地看,用一生的经历来看,用最真的爱满怀着期望来看.看看是不是“所有的雨都会停”,看看雨后的天空是不是更洁净、更辽远、更美丽,是不是还会奇迹般地出现彩虹.

　　上帝总有回家的时候,雨水总会停下,前方总有期望和喜悦.

　　铁杵磨成针的故事告诉我们:白费力气的事尽管感人但却是可笑的明明买根针就能做活,非要用根大铁棒磨它个三年两载.方向和方法错了,功夫下的再深也不行.

　　三顾茅庐的故事告诉我们:机遇是等来的如果孔明先生主动上门求职,就不见得有这样的效果.但是,这话只适合古代,现代人即使比孔明的本事大十倍,坐在家里干等也不见得有机遇出现.天明白重视人才的观念是进步了还是退步了.

　　井底的之蛙故事告诉我们:什么样的'环境早就什么样的人生,反过来也同样,什么样的人生适合什么样的环境.别指责青蛙的短浅愚昧,因为蛙绝不可能从井底迁到东海生存.如果蛙受了教育启发,从此志在东海,那只有徒增烦恼了.

　　武松打虎的故事告诉我们:英雄有时是被逼出来的武松胆儿再大也是正常人,没有人不拍老虎的道理.要不是犟脾气加上十五碗小酒,决不回去做打虎的壮举.其实他也没想到会遇上老虎,真的遇上反而酒都被吓醒了,说明他并不是真的想当英雄.不是他死就是虎亡,他把自我逼成了英雄.现实的很多典型与此很类似,每一个英雄的出现都是有前提的

　　螳臂当车的故事告诉我们:即便粉身碎骨,也要为改变现状做一些看似无效的努力.也许,当轮前的螳臂多了,车会慢下来或者停下来.

　　翻译:强光也是一堵墙

　　一位父亲问他正读小学三年级的儿子:“阴天的夜晚,天空中看不到星星,是星星不存在吗?”

　　儿子很干脆的回答:“不是.”

　　父亲又问:“那位什么我们一颗星星也看不见呢?”

　　儿子答:“是云把星星都遮住了.”

　　父亲之后又问儿子:“晴空万里的白昼,天空中也看不见星星,是星星不存在吗?”

　　儿子有些犹豫,显然不明白该如何回答父亲这个问题.

　　父亲见儿子答不出,稍停了一下,说:“其实白天星星也存在,它们大都是恒星,永远存在于太空中,只是我们肉眼看不到罢了.”

　　儿子好奇地问:“这又是为什么呢?”

　　父亲想了一下.告诉儿子说:“是太阳的光太强了,它把所有星星的光都盖住了.”

　　在生活中,很多人,很多事,也是如此.因为一个人或一件事所拥有的光环太强,不仅仅会把这个人或这件事本身的.缺点遮住,而且还会把周围其他人或其他事的优点也都遮住,让大家无法看到他周围人的真实面目或其他事的真相.这不是按个人的眼睛出了问题,而是因为对方的光太强了.

　　很多时候,强光也是一堵墙,是一堵肉眼看不见的墙,又是一堵肉眼无法看过去的墙,他能够迷惑我们正常的眼睛,也能够挡住我们正常的目光.

　　翻译:虫子的压力

　　有这么一种虫子,它的体长还不到一毫米,也许因为在电子显微镜下看起来像一头黑熊,所以人们叫它雄虫.它主要生活在淡水的沉渣,潮湿土壤以及苔藓植物的水膜中.最近日本冈山大学物理学家小野文久发现了一个惊人的现象:当20只小熊虫被放入密封的容器内,在实验室制造的7.5万个大气压下,20只熊虫只有两只死亡,其余的18只安然无恙.7.5万个大气压!它相当于每平方豪米要承受700多千克重物的压力,它足以上淀粉瞬间变性,生米顷刻为熟饭.自然条件下,地球上也只有180千米的地幔深处才拥有如此大的压力.

　　至今没有人能弄清楚熊虫为何如此能忍.不只是出于对这种超强生命力的尊重还是怀疑,有人叫它地狱之虫.一个长度不超过1毫米的'微不足道的虫子,能承受命运给他如此的压力,相比较而言,我们这些自称是高级动物,智慧生命,万物之灵的人呢?在人的现实生活中,有多少小小的心结,小小的压力构成我们所谓的生存压力.在这样的压力下又有多少悲观失落之人将完美的人生称作地狱?此刻一比才觉得,其实我们的压力就好比是真空,我饿美女的地狱就是天堂中的天堂.在那一刻,我在心里默默地鞠了一躬,不是为熊虫,而是感谢造物主没有把这样的压力降在人间.

　　很久以前的一个很远的小村庄里,有一个以“千镜屋”而著名的地方.一只乐观的小狗听说了这个地方并决定去参观.当来到这个地方,他蹦蹦跳跳地上了台阶,来到房门口,高高地竖起耳朵,欢快地摇着尾巴,从门口往里张望,他惊奇地看到有1000只欢乐的小狗像他一样快地摇尾巴.他灿烂地微笑着,回报他的是1000张热情,友好的灿烂笑脸.离开时他心想:“这是一个精彩的地方,我一定要经常来参观.”在这个村里还有另一只想参观“千镜屋”的小狗,他不及第一只小狗乐观,他慢吞吞地爬上台阶,然后耷拉着脑袋往屋子里看.一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯着他,他便开始冲他们狂吠,镜中的1000只小狗也冲着他狂吠,把他给吓坏了,他在离开时心想:“这是一个恐怖的地方,我再也不会来了.”世界上所有的'脸都是镜子,在你所遇见的人的脸上你看到反射出来的是什么?

　　“啊,别担心,”狗说,“这是系狗项圈的地方,晚上主人会把我拴起来.”

　　“拴起来?”狼叫起来,“你是说晚上你会拴起来?如果我去和你住,晚上也会被拴起来?”

　　“没错,”狗说,“但是你会习惯的”

　　“但是,如果被拴起来,我就不自由了.”说完,狼转身跑了.

　　狗大声喊道:“等等!回来!我是不自由,可是我很健康,我有好的食物,有个温暖的地方睡觉.你太喜欢享受生活了.我其实比你还自由些.”

　　乡下的老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去.房子十分漂亮,好吃的东西也为他们摆好了.可是正当他们要开始吃的时候,听见很大的一阵响声,城里的老鼠叫喊起来:"快跑!快跑!猫来了!"他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来.过了一会儿,他们出来了.当他们出来时,乡下老鼠说:"我不喜欢住在城里,我喜欢住在田野我的洞里.因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在,比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说,要好些."
