Those who reach the top are the ones who are not content with doing only what are required of them. They do more. They go the extra mile. And another。现在我知道，为了辉煌的成就，我必须全力以赴，必须永远走在时间前面。那些顶 尖人物都不会只满足分内的工作，他们比常人做得更多，走得更远。I will spare no efforts in doing things。凡事我都将全力以赴。Now I know that I cannot pursue a worthy goal, steadily and persistently, with all the powers of my mind and yet fail. If I focus the rays of sun with a burning glass, even in the coldest days of winter, I can kindle a fire with ease。现在我知道，只要我一心一意向一个有价值的目标稳步前行，坚持不懈，就一定不会失败。如果我用取火镜聚集太阳光，即使在最寒冷的冬天，我也可以轻松燃起火来。I will spare no efforts in doing things。凡事我都将全力以赴。The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything。最弱小的人，只要集中力量于一点，也能得到好的结果；相反，最强大的人，如果把力量分散在许多杂务上，也会一事无成。Drops of water, by continually falling, hone their passage through the hardest of rocks but the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar and leaves no trace24 behind.

We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.我不知道是谁写的，可我很喜欢这句话，它提醒我们未来是由自己创造的。我们可以把神秘、不可知的未来塑造成我们想象中的任何模样，犹如雕刻家将未成形的石头刻成雕像。We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.我们每个人都像是农夫。洒下良种将有丰收，播下劣种或生满野草便将毁去收成。没有耕耘则会一无所获。I want the future to be better than the past. I don't want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.我希望未来比过去更加美好，希望未来不会沾染历史的错误与过失。我们都应举目向前，因我们的余生要用未来书写。The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.往昔已逝，静如止水；我们无法再作改变。而前方的未来正生机勃勃；我们所做的每一件事都将会影响着它。只要我们认识到这些，无论是在家中还是在工作上，每天我们的面前都会展现出新的天地。在人类致力开拓的每一片领域上，我们正站在进步的起跑点。美文阅读3 ListenerMany people neglect this most important communication skill.许多人忽视了这一最为重要的沟通技巧。Do you know that we spend an average of our waking day communicating?你是否积压物资我们醒着时有一半的时间是用来沟通的？Of this communication time, 9% is spent writing, 16% reading, 30% talking and 45% listening.在这段时间里，9%是通过写，16%是读，30%是说而45%是用来听。Immediately after hearing something, most of us can recall only 50% of what we hear. Within two to eight weeks, we can recall only 25% or less of the original message. Our mental attitudes reduce our ability to retain what we hear.一听完某件事，大多数人只能记住其中之一的50%，两至八个星期内，我们只能记得原信息的25%，甚至更少。我们的精神状态削弱了我们的记忆能力。Some suggestions to being a good listener are mentioned below.以下是关于怎样做个好听众的建议：First of all, stop talking-you can't listen while you are talking.首先，停止讲话你说话时是无法听。Ask questions-when you don't understand, when you need further clarification, when you want them to like you and when you want to show that you are listening.问问题如你不甚理解，你需要进一步澄清，当你希望他们喜欢你并且想证明你正在听时。Don't interrupt-give them time to say what they have to say.不要打岔给他们时间说他们必须说的一切。Concentrate on what they are saying- actively focus your attention on their words, their ideas and their feelings as they relate to the subject.集中精神听他们说当他们说到主题时，主动把你的注意力放在你们的言语思想和感情上。Look at the prospect- by looking, it gives them confidence that you are, in fact, listening. It helps you to concentrate too.望着前方通过望对方，对方就更有信心，说明你正听他说话，这也有助于你集中精神。Leave your emotions behind-try to forget your own worries and problems. Leave them outside of the meeting room. They will prevent you from listening well.搁置情感暂时忘记你自己的烦恼和问题，把它们都通通留在会议室门外，因为它们会让你没法好好听。Understand the main points -concentrate on the main ideas and not the illustrative material.理解要点集中精力听主要意思而非说明性材料。Don't argue mentally-when you are trying to understand other people, it is a handicap to argue with them mentally as they are speaking. This only sets up a barrier between yourself and the speaker.切忌激烈地争论如果你想理解别人哀兵必胜说的话，那么在别人说话的时候与别人激烈地争论就会成为一大障碍。这只会在你与说话人之间设下一道鸿沟。Use the difference in rate-you can listen faster than you can talk. So use this rate difference to your advantage by staying on the right track, anticipating what they are going to say, thinking back over what they have just said and evaluating the development of their argument. You speak at about 100 to 150 words per minute, but you think at 250 to 500.不同的速率听总快过说。因此你应该通过不同的估计以发挥你的优势。比如站在合适的位置，设想一下他们要说些什么，回想一下他们刚刚说了什么，并估计下段进展如何，说话时的语速是一分钟100至250至500字。Learn to listen and you will achieve a great success in your life.学会聆听，日后定会成功。美文阅读4 Try to Remember the Good Things 回忆美好时刻 When times become difficult （and you know they sometimes will）， remember a moment in your life that was filled with joy and happiness.当你身陷困境的时候（你有时会），回想你生命中快乐和幸福的时刻。Remember how it made you feel, and you will have the strength you need to get through any trial.回想它是如何使你快乐，你便有了走出困境的勇气。When life throws you one more obstacle than you think you can handle, remember something you achieved through perseverance and by struggling to the end.当面对重重困难，你感觉举步维艰的时候，回想你以前是如何坚持到底战胜困难的最后时刻的。In doing so, you'll find you have the ability to overcome each obstacle brought your way.这样，你就会发现你有能力克服每个障碍。When you find yourself drained and depleted of energy, remember to find a place of sanctuary and rest.当你觉得精疲力尽的时候，暂时离开，让自己稍作休息。Take the necessary time in your own life to dream your dreams and renew your energy, so you'll be ready to face each new day.给自己留点时间做做梦，充一下电，这样你就能以崭新的面貌去面对每一天。When you feel tension building, find something fun to do. You'll find that the stress you feel will dissipate and your thoughts will become clearer.当你感觉到紧张的压力，做一些有乐趣的事吧。你会发现压力在渐渐消逝，你的想法也渐渐明朗了。When you're faced with so many negative and draining situations, realize how minuscule problems will seem when you view your life as a whole-and remember the positive things.当你面对重重困难的时候，要意识到相对于你的整个生命，这些难题其实是微不足道的铭记你生命中美好的东西。
