美文背诵1. Life GoalsThe future is always unknown to us. But to some extent, we can foresee what will most likely be. We can strive for the best. So in the future, I want to be somebody. I believe that a young man who expects to be somebody often turns out to be one. Lots of great people, like scholars or public speakers or scientists, all had strong wishes or ideals when they were young. Although in striving toward my ideal, I may encounter certain difficulties and failures, I should not give up or lose hope because nothing is too easy. I believe as long as I try, I will have a bright future.2. Choose OptimismIf you expect something to turn out badly, it probably will.Pessimism is seldom disappointing. But the same principle also works in reverse. If you expect good things to happen, they usually do! There seems to be a natural cause-and-effect relationship between optimism and success.Optimism diverts our attention away from negativism and channels it into positive, constructive thinking. When you’re an optimist, you’re more concerned with problem-solving than with useless complaining about issues. In fact, without optimism, issues as big and ongoing as poverty have no hope of solution. It takes a dreamer---someone with hopelessly optimistic ideas, great persistence, and unlimited confidence---to tackle a problem that big. It’s your choice.3. Always have dreamsYou should be a dreamer yourself. If you don’t have a dream, a plan, a wish, how can you know where you want to go? Maybe some of your dreams are unrealistic and impossible, but as long as you work hard, your dreams may come true one day.Dreams, in one way, are not expensive. They don’t cost any money. Even the poorest person in the world can have all the dreams he desires. But in another way, they are expensive, for we have to work and sacrifice to make our dreams come true.Dreams can come true, but even if they can’t, life will be a more beautiful dream deep in our hearts. If we can dream it, we can do it. If we stop dreaming, we will close the door to success.I hope you will always be a dreamer, a poet, a seeker of rainbows after storms.4. Be thoughtfulBeing thoughtful simply means thinking of others before yourself. What you say or do will have an effect on others. So it is important that you think before you say or do anything. In this way, you can avoid hurting other’s feelings. Moreover, a thoughtless act or remark can spoil a perfect relationship.Remember these rules. If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. Likewise, if you think what you do will hurt others, don’t do it. After all, what goes around comes around.5. Strive for balance in your lifeDon't undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift: that's why we call it " The Present"Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would to your life, for without them, life is meaningless.Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.6. A lesson in lifeEverything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck.Illness, injure, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to who you open your heart to.If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people who you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Hold your head up because you have every right to.Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either.7. The power of loveThe power of love can lift our spirits, brighten an otherwise dark and dreary day. When we are receptive, love can change us. The power of love can heal the wounds of a soul. Love can smooth out our rough spots, and make us better people. Love can bring a never-ending joy to our lives. Share love, experience love, be healed by love and then look around for others to lift up and help. As more people turn from the material things, focus inward and let love flow through them, the world will be changed one heart at a time.8.BoldnessOur biggest fear is fear itself. And the greatest antidote to this madness is to face our fears with boldness. Boldness releases powerful forces into the universe and attracts the most amazing responses. Whenever we act courageously and give it all we’ve got, our bodies go into emergency standby. This state of emergency unlocks many underused powers that we all possess. You aremuch more than you think you are.。
