Many people say that they owe much of their success to the cultivation of certain good habits in their early life. In forming good habits and achieving success we should focus on four points, that is, honesty, industry, enthusiasm and thrift.
“Honesty is the best policy.” This is a proverb to which we must pay attention. There are so many temptations in the society that with a little carelessness we may go astray. But as long as we are honest to others they will be honest to as in return..
Industry gives everyone, no matter you’re a man or woman, a boy or a girl, proper work to do. Wasting time doing nothing is to ruin oneself.
Enthusiasm is a great force. One’s soul will expand if one devotes oneself to a noble cause. We met although there are tremendous difficulties before head, we can leave nothing unaccomplished with enthusiasm.
There are many proverbs which set forth the advantages of thrift. Since we live in the world where “money is a very powerful thing”, we should always try to save a portion of our earnings for future.
These are the four keys to which we must pay attention. It is only through this way that we can achieve success.
譯文：許多人都說他們的成功歸因于在早年就養(yǎng)成了良好的習(xí)慣。依我看，要養(yǎng)成良好的習(xí)慣，我們必須注意四點(diǎn)，那就是誠(chéng)實(shí)、勤勉、熱心和節(jié)儉。
“誠(chéng)實(shí)為最上策”。這是一句我們必須專心記住的諺語。人在社會(huì)中會(huì)面臨種種誘惑，如果我們稍有不慎，就會(huì)走上歧途。但是，只要我們誠(chéng)實(shí)，別人就不會(huì)對(duì)我們不誠(chéng)實(shí)。
勤勉能使每個(gè)男人和女人，每個(gè)男孩和女孩都得到適當(dāng)?shù)墓ぷ髯�。什么事也不做�?huì)使自己毀滅。
熱心是一個(gè)很大的動(dòng)力。假使一個(gè)人專心從事一件高尚的事業(yè)，他的心胸就會(huì)開闊。我們前進(jìn)的道路上困難重重，但是如果我們有熱心，有什么事不能完成呢？
有許多格言都是陳述節(jié)儉的好處的。我們既然生在這“金錢萬能”的世界，我們必須經(jīng)常積攢下一部分錢作為將來的用途。
這是我們必須注意到的四要點(diǎn)。只有照著這種方法去做，我們才能找到成功之路。 |
