ZT:中文与英文励志诗歌集
1. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE Robert H. Schuller
Failure doesn't mean you are a failure，It does mean you haven’t succeeded yet. Failure doesn’t mean you have accomplished nothing，It does mean you have learned something. Failure doesn’t mean you have been a fool，It does mean you had a lot of faith. Failure doesn’t mean you’ve been disgraced，It does mean you were willing to try. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it，It does mean you have to do something in a different way. Failure doesn’t mean you are inferior，It does mean you are not perfect. Failure doesn’t mean you’ve wasted your life，It does mean you have a reason to start afresh. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up，It does mean you must try harder. Failure doesn’t mean you’ll never make it，It does mean it will take a little longer. Failure doesn’t mean God has abandoned you，It does mean God has a better idea.
失败的意义
罗伯特。
H.舒勒 陈采霞译
失败并不代表你是个失败者，它只表明你尚未成功。失败并不代表你一无所获，它只表明你吸取了一次教训。失败并不代表你很愚蠢，它只表明你信心百倍。失败并不代表你无脸见人，它只表明你百折不回。失败并不代表你工夫白费，它只表明你的做事方法尚待改进。失败并不代表你低人一等。它只表明你并非完人。失败并不代表你浪费生命，它只表明你有理由重新开始。失败并不代表你应该放弃，它只表明你要加倍努力。失败并不代表成功永不属于你，它只表明你要付出更多的时间。失败并不代表上帝已经抛弃你，它只表明上帝还有更好的主意。
2. FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE Neil Simon
Don t listen to those who say，"It’s not done that way.” Maybe it’s not， but maybe you will. Don’t listen to those who say，"You’re taking too big a chance.” Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor，and it would surely be rubbed out by today. Most importantly， don’t listen When the little voice of fear inside of your ear its ugly head and says，"They’re all smarter than you out there. They’re more talented，They’re taller， blonder， prettier， luckier and have connections……"I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you，Not to the exclusion of love， sensitivity， and cooperation with others，But with the strength of conviction That you can move others by your own efforts，And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live，The chances are you’ll be a person worthy of your own respect.
走自己的路 尼尔。西蒙 陈采霞译
别听那些人的话，"这事不能那么做。"也许是不能那么做，可是也许你就会那么做。别听那些人的话，"你这个险冒得太大了。"米开朗琪罗可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作过画，到今天肯定已经被抹掉了。最重要的是，当你心中恐惧的声音，抬起它丑陋的头说，"那边那些人都比你聪明，他们更有才华，他们更高大、皮肤更白、更漂亮、更幸运，并且认识各种各样的人…"你可千万别理会。我坚信只要选择一条你感兴趣的路，不排除爱情、敏锐以及与别人的合作，而是坚定地认为，通过你自身的努力能够感动他人，不把成功或者失败作为你生活的标准，那么你就可能成为值得自己敬佩的人。
3. FAITH Napoleon Hill
Faith is the "eternal elixir" Which gives life， power， and action to the impulse of thought！Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches！Faith is the basis of all "miracles"，And all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science！Faith is the only known antidote for failure！Faith is the element， the "chemical" which，When mixed with prayer， gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence. Faith is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought， created by the finite mind of man， into the spiritual equivalent. Faith is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed and used by man.
信念 拿破仑。希尔 陈采霞译
信念是"永恒的万应灵药"，它赋予突发奇想以生命、力量和行动！信念是所有财富积累的起点！信念是一切"奇迹"以及所有科学法则无法分析的奥秘的根基！信念是惟一已知失败之解药！信念是重要元素、"化学物质"，一旦与祈祷结合便会使你与上帝直接沟通。人类的智慧固然有限，普通的灵感闪现一经信念指点，便会转换成精神震撼。信念是惟一的中介，通过它上帝的宇宙力会成为人类开发和利用的资源。
4. ON CHANGES Irene Dunlap
Change is the only absolute in the world，the only thing that you can depend on. Nothing stays the same. Tomorrow will come，bringing with it new beginnings and sometimes unexpected endings. You can hold on to the past and get left in the dust；or， you can choose to jump on the ride of life and live a new adventure with perseverance and an open mind.
论变化 艾琳。邓莱普 陈采霞译
变化是世界上惟一绝对的东西，是惟一你能相信的事情。没有什么能一成不变，明天将来临，它会带来新的开始，并且有时还会带来意想不到的结局。你可以抓住过去，蒙受遗弃；或者，你可以选择跃上生命之车进行一次新的冒险，凭借坚持不懈
5. RESULTS AND ROSES Edgar Albert Guest
The man who wants a garden fair，Or small or very big，With flowers growing here and there，Must bend his back and dig. The things are mighty few on earth，That wishes can attain，Whatever we want of any worth，We’ve got to work to gain. It matters not what goal you seek，Its secret here reposes：You’ve got to dig from week to week，To get results or roses.
硕果和玫瑰 埃德加。阿尔贝特。格斯特 陈采霞译
要想有个美丽花园，面积大小姑且不管，只要园中长满鲜花，就必须把汗水挥洒。有愿望就能实现，这样的事还真是少见，只要想要的东西有价值，就得靠努力去创造。目标是什么并不重要，秘诀终归只有一条：周复一周不怕劳累，才能收获硕果或者玫瑰。
6. THE VALUE OF TIME Katharine Sun
To realize the value of one year：Ask a student who has failed a final exam. To realize the value of one month：Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby. To realize the value of one week：Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of one hour：Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of one minute：Ask a person who has missed the train， bus or plane. To realize the value of one second：Ask a person who has survived an accident. To realize the value of one millisecond：Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have.
时间的价值 凯瑟琳。桑 陈采霞译
要想知道一年的价值，那就去问期末考试不及格的学生。要想知道一个月的价值，那就去问生了早产儿的母亲。要想知道一周的价值，那就去问周报的编辑。要想知道一小时的价值，那就去问等待见面的恋人。要想知道一分钟的价值，那就去问误了火车、汽车或者飞机的人。要想知道一秒钟的价值，那就去问大难不死的人。要想知道一毫秒的价值，那就去问奥运会获得银牌的人。时间不等人，你拥有的每一刻都要珍惜。
7. TODAY IS A NEW DAY Donna Levine
Your tomorrows are as bright as you want to make them. There is no reason to carry the darkness of the past with you into today. Today is a wonderful new experience，full of every possibility to make your life exactly what you want it to be. Today is the beginning of new happiness，new directions and new relationships. Today is the day to remind yourself that you posses the power and strength you need to bring contentment， love and joy into your life. Today is the day to understand yourself and to give yourself the love and the patience that you need. Today is the day to move forward towards your bright tomorrow.
今天是新的一天唐那。莱文 陈采霞译
你的明天充满阳光，如你心中所想。你没有理由，把昨天的黑暗，带到今天。今天是美妙的全新体验，有那么多种可能，使你的生活如你所愿。今天开始有新的幸福，新的方向和新的伙伴。今天你要提醒自己，你有足够的能力和力量，把满意、爱情和欢乐带进你的生活。今天你要了解自己，给自己足够的爱心和耐心。今天你会勇往直前，奔向那灿烂的明天。
8. DREAMS Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.
梦想 兰斯顿。休斯 陈采霞译
紧紧抓住梦想，因为一旦梦想消亡，生活就象折断翅膀的小鸟，无法自由翱翔。紧紧抓住梦想，因为一旦梦想离开，生活就会变成贫瘠荒芜的土地，只有冰雪覆盖。
9. THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
Robert Frost
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood，
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler，long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth；
Then took the other， as just as fair，
And having perhaps the better claim，
Because it was grassy and wanted wear；
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same，
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh，I kept the first for another day！
Yet knowing how way leads on to way，
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence：
Two roads diverged in a wood，and I瞈r
I took the one less traveled by，
And that has made all the difference.
没有走过的路
罗伯特。弗罗斯特 陈采霞译
金色的树林路分两条，
遗憾不能两条都到。
孤独的我长久伫立，
极日眺望其中一条，
直到它在灌丛中淹没掉。
然后我公平地选择了另外一条，
或许理由更加充分，
因为它草深需要有人上去走走。
说到有多少人从上面走过
两条路磨损得还真是差不多。
而且那天早晨两条路都静静地躺着，
覆盖在上面的树叶都没有被踩黑，
噢，我把第一条路留给了下一次！
但我知道前方的路变幻莫测，
我怀疑我是否应该回来……
多年以后在某个地方，
我将叹息着讲述这件事：
树林里路分两条，而我——
选择了行人较少的那条，
就这样一切便发生了改变。
10. WHAT IS SUCCESS
Ralph Waldo Emerson
What is success？
To laugh often and love much；
To win the respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children；
To earn the approbation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends；
To appreciate beauty；
To find the best in others；
To give oneself；
To leave the world a little better，
Whether by a healthy child，
A garden patch，
Or a redeemed social condition；
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
And sung with exultation；
To know even one life has breathed easier，
Because you have lived……
This is to have succeeded.
成功的内涵
拉尔夫。沃尔多。爱默生陈采霞译
成功是什么？
笑口常开，爱心永在，
赢得智者的尊重，
孩子们的爱戴；
博得真诚的认可，
容忍损友的背叛；
欣赏美好的东西，
发现别人的可爱。
学会无私地奉献，
给世界增添光彩：
要么培育出健康的孩子，
要么留下花园一块，
亦或是改善社会条件；
尽情娱乐、笑得畅快，
把欢乐的歌唱起来；
甚至知道一个生命活得自在，
因为你的一路走来……
这就是成功的内涵。 .
