The Struggle for an Education（Paras. 1-2）

Booker T.Washington

我的求学之路 布克·T·华盛顿

One day, while at work in the coal-mine (煤矿), I happened to overhear (无意中听到) two

miners (矿工) talking about a great school for coloured people somewhere in Virginia. In the darkness of the mine I noiselessly crept as close as I could to the two men who were talking. I heard one tell the other that not only was the school established for the members of my race, but that opportunities were provided by which poor but worthy students could work out all or a part of the cost of board, and at the same time be taught some trade or industry.

一天，在煤矿上班时，我无意中听到两个矿工说到，有一所专为有色人种开设的很好的学校，在弗吉尼亚州的某个地方。矿井里一片漆黑，我悄无声息地爬到离那两人尽可能近的地方。我听到一个人对另一个说，学校不仅是为了我的种族成员而专门建立的，而且也会提供机会，使穷苦但上进的学生得以支付全部或部分食宿费用，同时也能学会一门手艺或技术。

I resolved at once to go to that school, although I had no idea where it was, or how many miles away, or how I was going to reach it; I remembered only that I was on fire constantly with one ambition, and that was to go to Hampton. This thought was with me day and night.

我当即决定要去那所学校，虽然我根本不知道，学校在哪里，离我有多远，我又该怎么到那里；我只记得心中有个愿望在熊熊燃烧，那就是去汉普顿。这个念头日日夜夜在我心头萦绕。

The Power of Positive Thanking:Your key to a Happy and Better Life（Paras. 1-3）

Remez Sasson

积极思维的威力：幸福生活的秘诀 雷米兹·萨松

Positive thinking means admitting into the mind thoughts, words and images that are helpful to growth, expansion and success. It is the expectation of good and favorable results. A positive mind anticipates happiness, joy, health and a successful outcome of every situation and action. Whatever the mind expects, it finds.

积极思维就是将有利于成长、发展和成功的想法、话语和图像纳入大脑之中。积极思维就是期待良好与顺利的结果。积极思维的头脑期待幸福、愉悦与健康，还有在任何情况与行动中都会有成功的结局。大脑希望有什么，就能找到什么。

Not everyone accepts or believes in positive thinking. Some consider the subject as just nonsense, and others laugh at people who believe and accept it. Among the people who are familiar with this subject, not many know how to use it effectively in order to get results. Yet, it

seems that more people are becoming attracted to this subject, as evidenced by the many books, lectures and courses about it. This is a subject that is gaining popularity (流行).

并不是每个人都会接受或相信积极思维的好处。有些人会认为这样的话题完全是一派胡言，另外的人对相信和接受积极思维的人嗤之以鼻。而那些熟悉这个话题的人中，知道如何有效地行动而达到理想结果的也不算多。不过，关注这个话题的人似乎越来越多，相关书籍、讲座和课程越来越多，就是明证。这个话题已越来越流行。

It is quite common to hear people say, \worried. Most people do not take these words seriously, as they do not know what it really means, or do not consider it as useful and effective. How many people do you know that ever stop to think what the power of positive thinking means?

常听人们对那些情绪低落而焦躁的人说：“想开点！”绝大多数人不把这样的话当回事儿，因为他们不知道这话的真实含义，或者觉得它并不实用。试问，在你认识的人当中，有多少人曾经停下来思考过积极思维的威力到底意味着什么呢？

Trust（Paras. 6-7） Andy Rooney

信任 安迪·鲁尼

It's a damn good thing too, because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust, not distrust (不信任). This whole thing we have going for us would fall apart if we didn't trust each other most of the time. In Italy, they have an awful time getting any money for the government, because many people just simply don't pay their income tax. Here the Internal Revenue Service makes some gestures toward enforcing the law, but mostly they just have to trust that we'll pay what we owe. There has often been talk of a tax revolt in this country, most recently among unemployed (失业的) auto workers in Michigan, and our government pretty much admits if there was a widespread tax revolt here, they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

这的确令人非常欣慰，因为我们的整个社会体系依赖于人们的相互信任，而不是猜疑。如果我们在大部分时间里不能相互信任，那么我们享有其利益的整个社会体系就会分崩离析。在意大利，政府很难收到税款，因为很多人公然不缴所得税。在美国，国内税务局也做出姿态说要执行法律，但政府主要还得靠信任，相信公民会依法纳税。在美国时常听到有人扬言

要抗税，最近的例子是密歇根州的一些失业汽车工人。我们的政府也基本承认，如果“抗税”蔓延开来，政府将束手无策。

We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; we deliver when we say we'll deliver; and we pay when we say we'll pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don't do what we've promised, it's a deviation (背离) from the normal. It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthy (值得信赖的) manner, but we still consider it unusual, and we're angry or disappointed with the person or organization that violates the trust we have in them. (I'm looking for something good to say about mankind today.)

我们说做的事一定会做；我们说来就一定会来；我们说送货就一定会送货；我们说交钱就一定会交钱。在这些事情上我们都彼此信任。如果没有做到许诺的事情，也只是异常情况。做事不够诚实、有负信任的情况时有发生，但我们仍然认为那不是正常现象，而且对那些辜负了我们信任的组织或个人，我们会感到愤慨或失望。（我这是在为如今的人类找几句好话说说。）

Unlock Your Own Creativity（Paras. 10-12）

Roger von Oech

开启你的创意 罗杰·冯·欧克

3. \My friend Nolan Bushnell, the founder of Atari Inc. and inventor of the first video game (电视游戏), is a dedicated (专注的) rule breaker. Once Bushnell was trying to make pinball (弹球) games more fun. For a long time he followed the rule that the playing field had to be 26 inches wide. Only when he threw away that rule and made the field 30 inches was he able to increase the game's possibilities.

3.“按规矩办事。”要找到思路，你经常需要打破一些已经没有意义的规矩。我的朋友诺兰·布什内尔，雅达利公司的创始人，第一个电子游戏的发明者，就很热衷于打破陈规。一次，布什内尔想使弹球戏更有趣一些。有很长一段时间，他遵守着这样一条规则：游戏界面只能是26英寸宽。他抛开这条规则，把界面设成30英寸，这才得以使游戏更具乐趣。

4. \喷气式客机), you'd better keep this lock on your mind. When looking for new ideas, however, you need a different attitude. Success
