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 ones self;
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.
成功的內(nèi)涵
拉爾夫·沃爾多·愛默生陳采霞譯
成功是什么？
笑口常開，愛心永在，
贏得智者的尊重，
孩子們的愛戴；
博得真誠的認(rèn)可，
容忍損友的背叛；
欣賞美好的東西，
發(fā)現(xiàn)別人的可愛。
學(xué)會無私地奉獻(xiàn)，
給世界增添光彩：
要么培育出健康的孩子，
要么留下花園一塊，
亦或是改善社會條件；
盡情娛樂、笑得暢快，
把歡樂的歌唱起來；
甚至知道一個(gè)生命活得自在，
因?yàn)槟愕囊宦纷邅怼?BR>這就是成功的內(nèi)涵。
