史努比的智慧
以下是来自"花生"系列的作者查尔斯.舒尔茨的哲学。你并不一定非得真的一一回答这些问题,只需一直读下去,你就会明白了。
The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read straight through, and you'll get the point.
1、说出世界上五个最富有的人的名字。
2、说出上五次海斯曼杯橄榄球赛(或任何著名的比赛)的冠军的名字。
3、说出上五届美国小姐(中华小姐)得主的名字。
4、说出十位诺贝尔奖或普里策新闻奖的得主。
5、说出前六届奥斯卡奖最佳男女演员的得主。
6、说出前十界世界杯冠军得主。
1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of Miss America.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.
如何?
How did you do?
重点在于,我们没有人记得昨天的新闻头条。他们并不是成就不够高。他们在他们的领域里是最棒的。但是掌声消逝了。奖杯失去光华了。成就被遗忘了。荣誉与证书与主人一起长埋地底。
The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners .
下面是另外一些小问题。看看这次你回答得怎样:
1、说出几位帮助过你学习的老师。
2、说出三位在困难时候帮助过你的朋友。
3、说出五位给过你启示的人。
4、说出几位让你觉得感激和特别的人。
5、说出五位你喜欢和他在一起的人。
Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:
1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with ...
容易多了吧?
Easier?
让你的生命变得不同的,不是那些最有成就最有钱或得到最多奖励的人。他们是关怀你的人。
The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.
“不要担心世界末日在今天来临。澳大利亚已经是明天了。”
