编者寄语:
拥有梦想的人是值得尊敬的,也让人羡慕的。当大多数人碌碌而为的时候,请坚持下去,不要害怕与众不同,也别停下梦想的脚步!你的人生应该由你自己亲自去创造!
经典回放——《当幸福来敲门》
In the movie The Pursuit of Happiness, Chris Ghana was a clever salesman. He worked hard, but could not give his family a better life. His wife Linda left him, leaving him his 5-year-old son Christopher. Chris became a single father and had only 21 dollars when he and his son were kicked off the apartment. Chris finally got a chance at an investment company. However, theres no salary during the internship period (n. 实习期) and 90 percent of the people failed to get the job. But Chris understood that this is his last chance, is the only way to a happy life. No income, nowhere to go. What Chris only had was his sons trust and love. They were homeless at night, slept in subway stations, public bathrooms, and where all they could for the nights. Life was extremely hard. But for his sons future and his own dreams, Chris tried his best. Finally, Chris succeeded.
在电影《当幸福来敲门》中,克里斯·加纳是一个聪明的推销员。他勤奋努力,却总没办法让家里过上好日子。妻子琳达离开了他,只留下他和5岁的儿子克里斯托夫相依为命。克里斯成为了单亲爸爸。当他和儿子被撵出公寓的时候,他身上只剩21美元。克里斯好不容易得到了在一家投资公司的工作机会。然而实习期间没有薪水, 并且有百分之九十的人最终没能成功得到这份工作。但克里斯明白,这是他最后的机会,是通往幸福生活的唯一路途。没有收入、无处容身,克里斯唯一拥有的,就是儿子的信任和爱。他们夜晚无家可归,就睡在地铁站、公共浴室,及一切可以暂时栖身的空地。生活无比艰难。但为了儿子的未来以及自己的梦想,克里斯竭尽了全力。最终,克里斯成功了。
There is an old saying, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”. How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow? Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now!
有句古老的说法:明天常常是一周中最忙碌的一天。有多少次我们曾把梦想推迟到了明天?梦想不应等待,也经不起等待。我们必须马上行动。
Tomorrow is not promised
Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is that everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Dont go to your grave (n. 坟墓) with dreams that have not come true yet. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.
明天不一定到来
没人愿意谈论死亡,但现实是——死亡必将到来。哪一天或哪一刻没人能说得清。所以,我们真正拥有的是今天。不要因未实现梦想而抱憾而终。作出决定,追逐每个梦想,无论这些梦想是伟大或是平凡,从现在就开始。……
