回復星座名,獲取感興趣的星座英文 [即將開通]
關鍵詞一
optimistic樂觀、開朗、幽默、活力四射......射手們總是滿滿的正能量,似乎沒有什麼能夠阻擋射手們對快樂的嚮往。只要有TA在,就少不了歡聲笑語。不管在什麼樣的場合,射手們總能營造出愉悅而輕鬆的氛圍。
這一段話,非常適合作為射手們的「籤名檔」。其實,我們每個人,都應當充滿這種積極的力量:
My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world.
這種人生態度,也讓生活也增添了無數機遇和色彩。Winston Churchill這句名言太經典了,你一定讀過:
A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
當然,樂觀不等於盲目而不顧現實。在認清現實的同時,依然保持樂觀與希望,Walt Disney所說的這種強大心態,更為難得。
I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
關鍵詞二
adventurous熱愛冒險、勇於嘗試、敢作敢為......如果有兩條路擺在面前,一條平坦寬闊、熙熙攘攘,另一條窄小崎嶇、人跡罕至。前者,對於射手們來說,太過稀疏平常,甚至有些無聊。射手們的內心,更痴迷於後者。既然非要走一程,為何不讓讓回憶更豐富。
這讓我馬上想起,多年前背過的一句英文,出自美國詩人Robert Frost:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
勇於邁出舒適區(Comfort Zone),我們才有可能收穫更多。把生活當做一場冒險,生活就會賦予我們更多驚喜。美國作家William Feather曾說:
One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure.
多多嘗試、不懼錯誤,在這個過程中,我們的潛力也得以不斷擴展,我們才有機會真正了解自己生命的無限可能:
It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves - in finding themselves.
關鍵詞三
restless不停歇的腳步、不安分的內心......射手們「一直在路上」、「一直在追尋」,所以,射手們的內心,很需要一種寧靜與安詳的頻率。
世事變幻無常,這確實讓我們的內心很難安穩,這很容易理解。但正是變化,造就了進步。如果,從哪一天開始,世事一成不變了,我們的內心肯定會更加不安。美國教育家 Lyman Lloyd Bryson就說過:
We are restless because of incessant changes, but we would be frightened if changes were stopped.
許多事情,我們無力改變。面對這些的時候,我們唯一能做的只有改變自己的心態,保持內心的寧靜平和(serenity)。下面的祈禱,反映出無數現代人的心聲:
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
心如止水,究竟是怎樣的狀態?下一句,與各位共勉:
Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm.
