白領(lǐng)英語晨讀經(jīng)典365 115 Equipment 裝備
Equipment
Figure it out for yourself, my lad. You have got all that the great have had: two arms, two legs, two hands, two eyes, and a brain to use if you'd be wise. With this equipment they all began, so start for the top and say" I can".
Look them over the wise and the great. They take their food from a common plate. With similar knives and forks they use; with similar laces they tie their shoes. The world considers them brave and smart, but you know--- you have got all they had when they made their start.
You can triumph and come to skill; you can be great if you only will. You are well equipped for the fight you choose you have arms and legs and brains to use. And people who have risen, great deeds to do started their lives with no more than you.
You are the handicap you must face. You are the one who must choose your place. You must say where you want to go, and how much you will study the truth to know. God has equipped you for life, but he lets you decide what you want to be.
The courage must come from the soul within; you must furnish the will to win. So figure it out for yourself, my lad; you were born with all the great have had; with your equipment they all began. Get hold of yourself and say" I can".
你會發(fā)現(xiàn)，自己已經(jīng)具備了所有偉人所擁有的：兩條胳膊，兩條腿，兩只手，兩只眼睛以及為你帶來智慧的大腦。這些偉大的人在奮斗之處也只擁有這些。因此，開始為了夢想奮斗吧，告訴你自己：“我行！”。
看看那些偉大睿智的人，他們吃飯用尋常的盤子和刀叉；甚至用類似的方法系鞋帶－－世人皆認(rèn)為他們兼具勇敢與智慧。但你要知道，此刻你已擁有他們拼搏向前的一切。
如果你愿意，你同樣可以取勝，同樣可以偉大。在奮斗的路途上你已擁有最精良的裝備，不斷向前成就偉業(yè)的人在奮斗之初并不比你多多少。
你必須面對的是你自己，僅有你自己可以決定自己的處境。說出自己想要達(dá)到目標(biāo),講出自己掌握的真相。上帝已為你提供了裝備，但方向只能由你自己來決定。
勇氣來自內(nèi)心深處，下定決心取得勝利。所以，自己想想吧，偉人的資本與生俱來。把握好自己，告訴自己：“我行！”。
