这是我在初三做英语阅读练习时遇到的一篇短文。时至今日，它依然激励着我……
Have you ever complained why life is so tiring? Does the sky sometimes seem dark to you? Are your studies sometimes not succeful? Well, friends, cheer up and smile all the time.If you see the world with your warm heart, you’ll find that the whole world smiles to you.
While in school, sometimes you are tired of your leons, but have you ever noticed the happySmile on your teacher’s face when you did a good job?
One day it is fine.Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain.Maybe you would feel very sad and start complaining about the weather.But dear friends, why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will have a good harvest.
Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can’t be avoided.I think failure is not terrible, and the terrible thing is that we are afraid of it and give up hope.When we face failure, we must be confident in ourselves, draw a useful leon from it and try our best to finish what we have decided to do.As a popular saying goes, “Failure is the mother of succe.”
Attitude decides everything.With an optimistic attitude life is easy and pleasant.Let’s smile to what we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
这是后来在网上查到的原文。
Smile and the world smiles to you!
Have you ever complained why life is so dull and boring? Does the sky always seem gray to you? Are your efforts always in vain? Well, friend, cheer up and remain smile.Remember that attitude determines everything.
Every day when you go to school, do you ever notice how green the gra is or how beautiful the dew on the gra looks? And isn’t it just like a piece of diamond on the green crown of nature? Do you ever notice how colorful the flowers are? They are shaking in the gentle wind.Aren’t they like a group of pretty butterflies waving their wings? Do you ever notice the voice of the lovely birds? Isn’t it like a beautiful song they sing for you?
In fact, what it matters is not that the world is short of colors, but that we are short of hearts with which we can find the beauty.Dear friend, observe the world with your warm heart and positive attitude.You’ll find that the whole world smiles to you.
One day it is fine.Just before you want to go out, it suddenly starts to rain.Maybe you would feel very sad and start casting spells over the sky.But, dear friend, why don’t you sit down and listen to the free concert that the nature offers you? “ding dong , ding dong....” The melody (旋律) of the rain sounds like a couple holding their wedding in a church.And with the timely rain, crops in the fields will grow better and better and farmers will hug a good harvest.It is clear again after the rain and a bright rainbow now is hanging over in the sky with bright colors.So change your attitude and the world will present another face.
When you meet with storms in life and it hurts you deeply, what should you do? Will you lose heart or do nothing but complain? Friend, don’t deal with it like that.Whatever you do, there are always two poible results: succe or failure.Although everyone wants to succeed in what he tries to do, sometimes failure can’t be avoided.When faced with failure, we must stand up, draw
a useful leon from it and try our best to fulfill what we are determined to do.As a popular saying goes, “Failure teaches succe”.In my opinion, what really counts is not the failure itself but the proper attitude we should take after it.Failure is not terrible.The terrible thing is that we are frightened of it and give in.So hold a proper attitude towards failure, and you’ll find that failure is indeed a very precious gift.
Attitude determines everything.So life is not hard and failure, not terrible either.Let’s smile to whatever we meet and the whole world will smile to us.
