My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors.I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition. Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath.The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace.Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms.At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents. So it has been.So it must be with this generation of Americans. That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood.Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred.Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age.Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businees shuttered.Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet. These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics.Le measurable but no le profound is a sapping of confidence acro our landthey will be met. On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord. On this day, we come to proclaim an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things.The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, paed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happine. In reaffirming the greatne of our nation, we understand that greatne is never a given.It must be earned.Our journey has never been one of short-cuts or settling for le.It has not been the path for the faint-heartedsome celebrated but more often men and women obscure in their labor, who have carried us up the long, rugged path towards prosperity and freedom. For us, they packed up their few worldly poeions and traveled acro oceans in search of a new life. For us, they toiled in sweatshops and settled the West; endured the lash of the whip and plowed the hard earth. For us, they fought and died, in places like Concord and Gettysburg; Normandy and Khe Sanh. Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life.They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction. This is the journey we continue today.We remain the most prosperous, powerful nation on Earth.Our workers are no le productive than when this crisis began.Our minds are no le inventive, our goods and services no le needed than they were last week or last month or last year.Our capacity remains undiminished.But our time of standing pat, of protecting narrow interests and putting off unpleasant decisionsnot only to create new jobs, but to lay a new foundation for growth.We will build the roads and bridges, the electric grids and digital lines that feed our commerce and bind us together.We will restore science to its rightful place, and wield technology’s wonders to raise health care’s quality and lower its cost.We will harne the sun and the winds and the soil to fuel our cars and run our factories.And we will transform our schools and colleges and universities to meet the demands of a new age.All this we can do.And all this we will do. Now, there are some who question the scale of our ambitionsthat the stale political arguments that have consumed us for so long no longer apply.The question we ask today is not whether our government is too big or too small, but whether it worksto spend wisely, reform bad habits, and do our busine in the light of dayand that a nation cannot prosper long when it favors only the prosperous.The succe of our economy has always depended not just on the size of our Gro Domestic Product, but on the reach of our prosperity; on our ability to extend opportunity to every willing hearteven greater cooperation and understanding between nations.We will begin to responsibly leave Iraq to its people, and forge a hard-earned peace in Afghanistan.With old friends and former foes, we will work tirelely to leen the nuclear threat, and roll back the specter of a warming planet.We will not apologize for our way of life, nor will we waver in its defense, and for those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents, we say to you now that our spirit is stronger and cannot be broken; you cannot outlast us, and we will defeat you.

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakne.We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindusknow that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dient, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist. To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds.And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world’s resources without regard to effect.For the world has changed, and we must change with it. As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains.They have something to tell us today, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages.We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingne to find meaning in something greater than themselves.And yet, at this momentit is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all. For as much as government can do and must do, it is ultimately the faith and determination of the American people upon which this nation relies.It is the kindne to take in a stranger when the levees break, the selflene of workers who would rather cut their hours than see a friend lose their job which sees us through our darkest hours.It is the firefighter’s courage to storm a stairway filled with smoke, but also a parent’s willingne to nurture a child, that finally decides our fate. Our challenges may be new.The instruments with which we meet them may be new.But those values upon which our succe dependsthese things are old.These things are true.They have been the quiet force of progre throughout our history.What is demanded then is a return to these truths.What is required of us now is a new era of responsibilitythe knowledge that God calls on us to shape an uncertain destiny. This is the meaning of our liberty and our creeda character of a stubborn refusal of a widow lady.A cold afternoon, just after the old lady in front of the office, she would like to advise the general manager, \"the dead heart.\" She opened the door, found a very neat clean up clean.She felt dirty wearing clogs to go into a very inappropriate, is hesitant, a young girl smiling and walked to.Girl did not hesitate to take off their old slippers to wear, and then pro-granddaughter of the same arm as the old lady upstairs slowly.Girl with a body temperature wearing slippers, the old lady in an instant change in the firm not to sell the original site.
The old lady did not know the girl, and she saw an old lady was neither to busine customers, not to key personnel in government inspections.Given every consideration and care for visitors, perhaps only the needs of career, but I prefer to believe that she is a person for any kind of love.
Love has nothing to do with the authority, the authority of high, but love is not divided into high and low social status, love is a kind of equal pay when the attitudes and behavior; love has nothing to do with mercy, compaion, with that in the end still look down the mean, and the love from十二分sincere, there is no hypocrisy and affectation.And love, and sometimes unexpected forces will play.( \"Yangcheng Evening News\")
爱心的力量
日本一家事务所想购买一块地皮，但被地皮的主人—一位性格倔强的孀居老太太一口拒绝。一个天寒地冻的下午，老太太恰好经过这家事务所的门前，她想顺便劝总经理“死了这条心”。她推开门，发现里面收拾得十分整齐干净。她觉得自己穿着脏木屐走进去很不合适，正犹豫不决时，一位年轻的姑娘笑容满面地迎上来。姑娘毫不犹豫地脱下自己的拖鞋给老太太穿，然后像亲孙女一样搀扶着老太太慢慢上楼。穿着带有姑娘体温的拖鞋，老太太在瞬间改变了坚决不卖地皮的初衷。
姑娘并不认识老太太，而且她一眼就看出老太太既不是来洽谈业务的客户，更不是来视察的政府大员。给予每一位来访者体贴和关怀，也许仅仅是职业的需要，但我宁愿相信她是出于善待任何一个人的爱心。
爱心与权威无关，权威高高在上，而爱心没有高低贵贱之分，爱心付出时是一种平等的态度和行为；爱心也与怜悯无关，怜悯到底仍带着一点俯视的意味，而爱心来自十二分的真诚，没有丝毫虚伪和做作。而爱心，有时会起到意想不到的力量。

心灵释荷
著名画家张大千先生是个大胡子，浓密的胡须铺垂近腹。据说有一人见此，顿生好奇，问：张先生，睡觉时，您的胡子是放在被子上面还是搁在里头的?”
大千先生一愣：“这„„我也不清楚。是啊，我怎么没在意这个呢?这样吧，明天再告诉你。”
晚上就寝，大千先生将胡子撂在被子外头，好像不太对头；收进被子里面，又觉不自然。折腾了半宿，都不妥当。这一下他自己也犯愁了，以前这可不是什么问题呀，现在怎么成了件头痛的事呢?
大千先生的烦恼源于平常熟视无睹的小事引起了他的关注。生活中，心累通常是人为地在自己的思想上加压造成的。我们凡事太在意了，太在意邻里无意的评足，太在意同事间的小磨擦，太在意上司偶尔的责骂，太在意爱人一时的赌气。人生总会有烦心事，睁开两眼历历在目，闭上双眸空无一物，倘若凡事都记取，怎能不让人负重前行！
透视琐事、忘却不幸、藐视挫折，这何尝不是一种心灵的释荷、人生的升华呢。
My experience in childhood! Childhood,I will never deny that many people consider it as the happie st period of timeof thier lifetime.Those happy-go-lucky little guys never ha ve any presure from work or family.They don’t know the meaning of \"pro blem\".The world in their innocent eyes is full of color,dreams and ilus ion.Without a doubt,most of us must have had interesting and unforgetful adv entures.However,we also have to be conscious that not everybody has a good m emory about his/her childhood.Every single person’s life is different. There are uncountable things to talk about the childhood.For instance, our mischievious acts,our first times and so on.Well,what can I talk about m y childhood?I must confe that I don’t remember very clear about the thing s that happened when I was still a child,maybe my brain doesn’t work very h ard.Going to the topic,I think I can use two words to decribe my childhood-- simple and common.According to my memory,there were not many interesting and special events during that period of time,but it doesn’t mean that I don’ t have anything to share with you.There are two things that I remember the m ost even if I didn’t experience so many excitng adventures as others did. The first one is when I was in the second grade of primary school,I wa s a very rebeld girl.After cla,I used to go out to have fun instead of doi ng homework.Whenever the teacher asked why I didn’t hand my hoemwork on,my reason was this\"I have forgotten to do it!\"Cause of my bad discipl ine,my mother was called to the teachers’ office.What a shame!I was so scared!T he teachers and my mother talked to me for a long time.They made me understa nd that I had to be responsible of my acts,that doing homework was not just a duty,at the same time it could help me to review what I’ve studied.Since that,I have never rejected to do my homework anymore.I’ve always wanted my parents to be poud of me.I have benn taught by this experience.
