所以|PQ|,|QF|=x0=+.

p22p

p858

由题设得+=p=-2(舍去)或p=2,

2p4p所以C的方程为y2=4x.

(2)依题意知l与坐标轴不垂直,故可设l的方程为x=my+1(m≠0). 代入y2=4x,得y2-4my-4=0. 设A(x1,y1),B(x2,y2), 则y1+y2=4m,y1y2=-4.

故线段的AB的中点为D(2m2+1,2m), |AB|m2+1|y1-y2|=4(m2+1).

又直线l ′的斜率为-m,

所以l ′的方程为x+2m2+3.

m将上式代入y2=4x,

并整理得y2+-4(2m2+3)=0.

m设M(x3,y3),N(x4,y4),

则y3+y4y3y4=-4(2m2+3).

化简得m2-1=0,解得m=1或m=-1, 故所求直线l的方程为x-y-1=0或x+y-1=0.

三、考卷比较

本试卷新课标全国卷Ⅰ相比较,基本相似,具体表现在以下方面: 1. 对学生的考查要求上完全一致。

即在考查基础知识的同时,注重考查能力的原则,确立以能力立意命题的指导思想,将知识、能力和素质融为一体,全面检测考生的数学素养,既考查了考生对中学数学的基础知识、基本技能的掌握程度,又考查了对数学思想方法和数学本质的理解水平,符合考试大纲所提倡的“高考应有较高的信度、效度、必要的区分度和适当的难度”的原则. 2. 试题结构形式大体相同,即选择题12个,每题5分,填空题4 个,每题5分,解答题8个(必做题5个),其中第22,23,24题是三选一题。题型分值完全一样。选择题、填空题考查了复数、三角函数、简易逻辑、概率、解析几何、向量、框图、二项式定理、线性规划等知识点,大部分属于常规题型,是学生在平时训练中常见的类型.解答题中仍涵盖了数列,三角函数,立体何,解析几何,导数等重点内容。

3. 在考查范围上略有不同,如本试卷第3题,是一个积分题,尽管简单,但全国卷已经不考查了。

篇二:名人演讲中英文对照

释放你的创造力

比尔盖茨

I've been an optimist and I supposed that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place.

For as long as I can remember, I've loved learning new things and solving problems. So when I sat down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, I was hooked. It's was a clunky and teletype machine that barely do anything compared to the computer we have today. But it changed my life.

When my friend Paul Allen and I stared Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of "a computer on every desk and in every home," which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators. But we believe that personal computer would change the world. And they have.

And after 30 years, I still inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade.

我天生乐观,坚信人类凭创造力和聪明才智可以让世界日益美妙,这一设想一直根植于我的内心深处。

自从记事起,我就热衷于接触新事物、挑战难题。可想而知,我上七年级时第一次坐在计算机前是何等着迷,如入无我之境。那是一台锵锵作响的旧牌机器,和我们今天拥有的计算机相比,它相当逊色几乎一无所用,但正是它改变了我的生活。

30年前,我和朋友保罗·艾伦创办微软时,我们幻想实现"在每个家庭、在每张办公桌上都有一台计算机",这在大多数的计算机体积如同冰箱的尺寸的年代,听起来有点异想天开。但是我们相信个人电脑将改变世界。今天看来果真如此。30年后,我仍然象上七年级的时候那样为计算机而狂热着迷。

I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness-to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldn't solve on their own. Computer have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the world's knowledge. They're helping us build communicates around the things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.

Like my friend Warren Buffett, I feel particularly lucky to do something every day I love to do. He calls it "tap-dancing to work". My job at Microsoft is as challenging as ever, but what makes me "tap-dancing to the work" is when we show people something new, like a computer that can recognize your handwriting or your speech, or one that can store a lifetime's worth of photos, and the say: "I didn't know you can do that with a pc!"

But for all the cool things that a person can do with a pc, there are lots other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world. There are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet. Every year, for example, millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world.

我相信计算机是我们用来满足好奇心及发明创造的最神奇的工具--有了它们的帮助,甚至是最聪明的人凭自身力量无法应对的难题都将迎刃而解。计算机已经改变了我们的学习方式,为全球各地的孩子们开启了一扇通向大千世界知识的窗户。它可以帮我们围绕我们关注的事物建立"群",让我们和那些对自己重要的人保持密切联系,不管他们身处何方。

就像我的朋友沃伦·布非一样,我为每天都能做自己热爱的事情而感到无比幸运。他称之为"踢踏舞工作"。我在微软的工作永远充满挑战,但使我一直坚持"踢踏舞工作"的是我们向人们展示某些新成果的那些时刻,当他们看到计算机能辨认笔迹、语音或者能存储值得

保留一辈子的照片时就会赞不绝口:"我不敢相信个人电脑竟如此万能"。但是,除了能用电脑做出很酷的事情之外,我们还能通过许多别的方式在工作中发挥自己的创造力和聪明才智,以改善我们的世界。全球仍有许许多多的人连最基本的生存需求都未能解决。举例来说,每年仍有数以万计的人死于那些在发达国家易于预防和治疗的疾病。

I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility tp give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I have committed to improving health and education in a way that can help as many people as possible.

As a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less poignant. or tragic than the death of a child anywhere else. And that doesn't take much to make an immense difference in these children's lives.

我认为,我所拥有的大量财富也使我负有回馈社会的责任。我的妻子梅林达和我致力于为尽可能多的人改善健康和教育.

作为一个父亲,我认为,非洲孩子死去所引起的痛苦和悲伤丝毫不亚于任何其他的孩子的死亡;我认为,使这些孩子们的命运发生翻天地覆的变化并不费太大力气。

I'm still very optimist, and I believe that progress on even the world's toughest problems is possible-and it's happening every day. We're seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostic tools, and new attention paid to the health problems in the developing world.

I'm excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness , creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, we're going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime.

我仍是一个坚定的乐观主义者,我坚信即使世界级难题取得进展都是有可能的--其实每天也都在发生着这种事情。我们看到治疗致命疾病的新药、新的诊断器械不断出现,而且,发展中国家的健康问题进入了人们的视野并日益得到重视。

我为医药、教育,当然还有技术发展的诸多前景而欢欣鼓舞。我相信,凭借人类与生俱来的发明创造能力和不畏艰难、坚忍不拔的品格,在我的有生之年里我们将在所有这些领域都创造出可喜的成就。

Duty, Honor, Country

MacArthur

General Westmoreland, General Grove, distinguished guests, and gentlemen of the Corps! As I was leaving the hotel th

名人演讲视频大全英文

is morning, a doorman asked me, "Where are you bound for, General?" And when I replied, "West Point," he remarked, "Beautiful place. Have you ever been there before?"

No human being could fail to be deeply moved by such a tribute as this [Thayer Award]. Coming from a profession I have served so long, and a people I have loved so well, it fills me with an emotion I cannot express. But this award is not intended primarily to honor a personality, but to symbolize a great moral code -- the code of conduct and chivalry of those who guard this beloved land of culture and ancient descent. That is the animation of this medallion. For all eyes and for all time, it is an expression of the ethics of the American soldier. That I should be integrated in this way with so noble an ideal arouses a sense of pride and yet of humility which will be with me always: Duty, Honor, Country.

Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying points: to build courage when courage seems to fail; to regain faith when there seems to be little cause for faith; to create hope when hope becomes forlorn.

Unhappily, I possess neither that eloquence of diction, that poetry of imagination, nor that brilliance of metaphor to tell you all that they mean. The unbelievers will say they are but words, but a slogan, but a flamboyant phrase. Every pedant, every demagogue, every cynic, every hypocrite, every troublemaker, and I am sorry to say, some others of an entirely different character, will try to downgrade them even to the extent of mockery and ridicule.

But these are some of the things they do. They build your basic character. They mold you for your future roles as the custodians of the nation's defense. They make you strong enough to know when you are weak, and brave enough to face yourself when you are afraid. They teach you to be proud and unbending in honest failure, but humble and gentle in success; not to substitute words for actions, not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stress and spur of difficulty and challenge; to learn to stand up in the storm but to have compassion on those who fall; to master yourself before you seek to master others; to have a heart that is clean, a goal that is high; to learn to laugh, yet never forget how to weep; to reach into the future yet never neglect the past; to be serious yet never to take yourself too seriously; to be modest so that you will remember the simplicity of true greatness, the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength. They give you a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of life, a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of an appetite for adventure over love of ease. They create in your heart the sense of wonder, the unfailing hope of what next, and the joy and inspiration of life. They teach you in this way to be an officer and a gentleman.

And what sort of soldiers are those you are to lead? Are they reliable? Are they brave? Are they capable of victory? Their story is known to all of you. It is the story of the American man-at-arms. My estimate of him was formed on the battlefield many, many years ago, and has never changed. I regarded him then as I regard him now -- as one of the world's noblest figures, not only as one of the finest military characters, but also as one of the most stainless. His name and fame are the birthright of every American citizen. In his youth and strength, his love and loyalty, he gave all that mortality can give.

He needs no eulogy from me or from any other man. He has written his own history and written it in red on his enemy's breast. But when I think of his patience under adversity, of his courage under fire, and of his modesty in victory, I am filled with an emotion of admiration I cannot put into words. He belongs to history as furnishing one of the greatest examples of successful patriotism. He belongs to posterity as the instructor of future generations in the principles of liberty and freedom. He belongs to the present, to us, by his virtues and by his achievements. In 20 campaigns, on a hundred battlefields, around a thousand campfires, I have witnessed that enduring fortitude, that patriotic self-abnegation, and that invincible determination which have carved his statue in the hearts of his people. From one end of the world to the other he

has drained deep the chalice of courage.

As I listened to those songs [of the glee club], in memory's eye I could see those staggering columns of the First World War, bending under soggy packs, on many a weary march from dripping dusk to drizzling dawn, slogging ankle-deep through the mire of shell-shocked roads, to form grimly for the attack, blue-lipped, covered with sludge and mud, chilled by the wind and rain, driving home to their objective, and for many, to the judgment seat of God.

I do not know the dignity of their birth, but I do know the glory of their death.

They died unquestioning, uncomplaining, with faith in their hearts, and on their lips the hope that we would go on to victory.

Always, for them: Duty, Honor, Country; always their blood and sweat and tears, as we sought the way and the light and the truth.

And 20 years after, on the other side of the globe, again the filth of murky foxholes, the stench of ghostly trenches, the slime of dripping dugouts; those boiling suns of relentless heat, those torrential rains of devastating storms; the loneliness and utter desolation of jungle trails; the bitterness of long separation from those they loved and cherished; the deadly pestilence of tropical disease; the horror of stricken areas of war; their resolute and determined defense, their swift and sure attack, their indomitable purpose, their complete and decisive victory -- always victory. Always through the bloody haze of their last reverberating shot, the vision of gaunt, ghastly men reverently following your password of: Duty, Honor, Country.

The code which those words perpetuate embraces the highest moral laws and will stand the test of any ethics or philosophies ever promulgated for the uplift of mankind. Its requirements are for the things that are right, and its restraints are from the things that are wrong.

The soldier, above all other men, is required to practice the greatest act of religious training -- sacrifice.

In battle and in the face of danger and death, he discloses those divine attributes which his Maker gave when he created man in his own image. No physical courage and no brute instinct can take the place of the Divine help which alone can sustain him.

However horrible the incidents of war may be, the soldier who is called upon to offer and to give his life for his country is the noblest development of mankind.

You now face a new world -- a world of change. The thrust into outer space of the satellite, spheres, and missiles mark the beginning of another epoch in the long story of mankind. In the five or more billions of years the scientists tell us it has taken to form the earth, in the three or more billion years of development of the human race, there has never been a more abrupt or staggering evolution. We deal now not with things of this world alone, but with the illimitable

distances and as yet unfathomed mysteries of the universe. We are reaching out for a new and boundless frontier.

We speak in strange terms: of harnessing the cosmic energy; of making winds and tides work for us; of creating unheard synthetic materials to supplement or even replace our old standard basics; to purify sea water for our drink; of mining ocean floors for new fields of wealth and food; of disease preventatives to expand life into the hundreds of years; of controlling the weather for a more equitable distribution of heat and cold, of rain and shine; of space ships to the moon; of the primary target in war, no longer limited to the armed forces of an enemy, but instead to include his civil populations; of ultimate conflict between a united human race and the sinister forces of some other planetary galaxy; of such dreams and fantasies as to make life the most exciting of all time.

And through all this welter of change and development, your mission remains fixed, determined, inviolable: it is to win our wars.

Everything else in your professional career is but corollary to this vital dedication. All other public purposes, all other public projects, all other public needs, great or small, will find others for their accomplishment. But you are the ones who are trained to fight. Yours is the profession of arms, the will to win, the sure knowledge that in war there is no substitute for victory; that if you lose, the nation will be destroyed; that the very obsession of your public service must be: Duty, Honor, Country.

Others will debate the controversial issues, national and international, which divide men's minds; but serene, calm, aloof, you stand as the Nation's war-guardian, as its lifeguard from the raging tides of international conflict, as its gladiator in the arena of battle. For a century and a half you have defended, guarded, and protected its hallowed traditions of liberty and freedom, of right and justice.

Let civilian voices argue the merits or demerits of our processes of government; whether our strength is being sapped by deficit financing, indulged in too long, by federal paternalism grown too mighty, by power groups grown too arrogant, by politics grown too corrupt, by crime grown too rampant, by morals grown too low, by taxes grown too high, by extremists grown too violent; whether our personal liberties are as thorough and complete as they should be. These great national problems are not for your professional participation or military solution. Your guidepost stands out like a ten-fold beacon in the night: Duty, Honor, Country.

You are the leaven which binds together the entire fabric of our national system of defense. From your ranks come the great captains who hold the nation's destiny in their hands the moment the war tocsin sounds. The Long Gray Line has never failed us. Were you to do so, a million ghosts in olive drab, in brown khaki, in blue and gray, would rise from their white crosses thundering those magic words: Duty, Honor, Country.

This does not mean that you are war mongers.

篇三:十大名人英文演讲

1. Steve Jobs

史蒂芬·乔布斯CEO of Apple Computers 苹果电脑CEO Stanford University 斯坦福大学June 12, 2005

2005年6月12日Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary。

记着你总会死去,这是我知道的防止患得患失的最佳办法。赤条条来去无牵挂,还有什么理由不随你的心?!你的时间是有限的,因此不要把时间浪费在过别人的生活上。不要被教条所困——使自己的生活受限于他人的思想成果。不要让他人的意见淹没了你自己内心的声音。最重要的是,要有勇气跟随你的内心与直觉,它们好歹已经知道你真正想让自己成为什么。其他的,都是次要的。

2. David Foster Wallace

Novelist 小说家Kenyon College 肯尼恩学院May 21, 2005

2005年5月21日There are these two young fish swimming along and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys. How's the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”... simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:“This is water。”“This is water。”It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out。

有两条小鱼一起在水里游,碰到一条老鱼迎面游过来。老鱼向他们点点头,并说:“早上好,孩子们。水怎么样?”这两条小鱼继续往前游了一会儿后,其中一条小鱼实在忍不住了,看了一下另一条小鱼,问道:“水到底是什么东西?”……简单的意识;对我们生活中如此真实、如此必不可少、无处不在、无时不在的事物的意识,需要我们一遍一遍地提醒自己:“这是水。”“这是水。”天天都保持意识清醒而鲜活,在成人世界中做到这点,是不可想象地难。

3. Michael Uslan

迈克尔·奥斯兰Movie Producer 电影制片人Indiana University 印第安纳大学May 06, 2006

2006年5月6日You must believe in yourself and in your work. When our first Batman movie broke all those box-office records, I received a phone call from that United Artists exec who, years before, had told me I was out of my mind. Now he said, “Michael, I'm just calling to congratulate you on the success of Batman. I always said you were a visionary。” You see

the point here — don't believe them when they tell you how bad you are or how terrible your ideas are, but also, don't believe them when they tell you how wonderful you are and how great your ideas are. Just believe in yourself and you'll do just fine. And, oh yes, don't then forget to market yourself and your ideas. Use both sides of your brain.You must have a high threshold for frustration. Take it from the guy who was turned down by every studio in Hollywood. You must knock on doors until your knuckles bleed. Doors will slam in your face. You must pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and knock again. It's the only way to achieve your goals in life。

你必须相信你自己,对自己的工作充满信心。当我们的第一部电影《蝙蝠侠》创下史无前例的票房纪录时,我接到了艺术家联合会会长的电话,他在数年之前曾说我疯了。如今他说:“迈克尔,我给你打电话祝贺《蝙蝠侠》的成功。我总说你是一位有远见的人。”你看,关键在这里,当他们说你有多差,你的想法有多糟的时候,不要信他们的话,同时,当他们告诉你你有多么了不起,你的想法多美妙时,也不要相信他们。你就只相信你自己,这样你就能做好。还有,那就是,不要忘记推销你自己和你的想法。左右大脑你都得用。要能经受得住挫败。这是被好莱坞每一家制片厂拒绝过的人的经验。你必须去敲一扇扇的门,直到指关节流血。大门会在你面前砰然关上,你必须重振旗鼓,弹去身上的灰尘,再敲下一扇门。这是实现你人生目标的唯一办法。

1986年5月14日In football we always said that the other team couldn't beat us. We had to be sure that we didn't beat ourselves. And that’s what people have to do, too — make sure they don't beat themselves.... you'll find out that nothing that comes easy is worth a dime. As a matter of fact, I never saw a football player make a tackle with a smile on his face. Never。

在橄榄球场上,我们总是说其他队战胜不了我们。我们必须做到不把自己打垮。所有人也都必须这么做,确保自己不要被自己打垮。……你会发现,来得容易的东西总是一文不值。事实上,我从来没有看到哪位橄榄球运动员是带着微笑完成阻截的。从来没有。

2006年5月17日Number One: Fall in love with the process and the results will follow.Number Two: Do your work.Number Three: Once you're prepared, throw your preparation in the trash.Number Four: You are capable of more than you think.Number Five: Listen.Number Six: Take action.You have a choice. You can either be a passive victim of circumstance or you can be the active hero of your own life. Action is the antidote to apathy and cynicism and despair。

第一,爱上过程,结果自然会来。第二,做你的事。第三,一旦准备好,就付诸行动。第四,你能做的,超出了你的想象。第五,聆听。第六,采取行动。你有一个选择。要么你成为环境的被动受害者,要么你主动成为自己生活的英雄。行动可以消除冷漠、玩世不恭与绝望。

2003年5月17日It doesn't matter whether your dream came true if you spent your whole life sleeping.Ask yourself one question: If I didn't have to do it perfectly, what would I try?Nobody else is paying as much attention to your failures as you are. You're the only one who is obsessed with the importance of your own life. To everyone else, it's just a blip on the radar screen, so just move on。

如果你一生都在睡觉,你的梦想是否实现就无关紧要了。问你自己一个问题:如果我不是必须做得完美,那我还努力什么呢?没有人会像你自己那样对自己的失败那么在意。你是唯一一个能追求自己的生活意义的人。对于其他所有人来说,你只是雷达荧光屏上的一个光点。所以,只管前行吧。

2004年5月16日By all reckoning, the bumblebee is aerodynamically unsound and shouldn't be able to fly. Yet, the little bee gets those wings going like a turbo-jet and flies to every plant its chubby little body can land on to collect all the nectar it can hold. Bumblebees are the most persistent creatures. They don't know they can't fly, so they just keep buzzing around. Never give in to pessimism. Don't know that you can't fly, and you will soar like an eagle. Don't end up regretting what you did not do because you were too lazy or too frightened to soar. Be a bumblebee! And soar to the heavens. You can do it。 无论怎么考量,大黄蜂从空气动力学上讲是不健全、不应该会飞的。但是,这种小蜜蜂却像涡轮喷气飞机一样地展翅飞行,飞到它圆乎乎的身体能够降落的任何植物上去采蜜。大黄蜂最坚韧的生灵,它们不知道自己不能飞,因此它们只管到处嗡嗡地飞个不停。千万不要悲观。不知道你不会飞,你会像鹰一样高高飞翔。不要到头来后悔自己因为太懒或太怕高飞而无所作为。做一只大黄蜂。飞到天上去。你能做到的。

2000年Do one thing at a time. Give each experience all your attention. Try to resist being distracted by other sights and sounds, other thoughts and tasks, and when it is, guide your mind back to what you're doing. I'm not warning against learning many things on many subjects. My warning is against distraction, whether you invite it or just let it happen. In baseball, high-percentage hitters know better: it's “focus” they talk about, and they prize it as much as strength. Psychologists describe skilled rock climbers and tennis players and pianists as going beyond focus, to what they have called a “flow” experience, a sense of absorption with the rock or the ball or the music in which the “me versus it” disappears and there's a kind of oneness with the task that brings a joyful higher awareness, as well as successful performance. I've had these experiences, too little but not too late, and probably you have, too. They are a supreme kind of pleasure. You will have more of them if you do one thing at a time。

一次做一件事情。全力关注你每一次的经历。决不要被别的声色之物和其他想法、任务分心。一旦分心了,引导你的注意力重新回到你做的事情上。我不是在反对学习多个学科的众多知识。我所警告的是分心与干扰,无论是你主动招惹的,还是让它发生的。在棒球场上,得分高的击球员对此有更深体会:他们谈的是“专注”,他们把它看得跟力量一样重要。在心理学家的描述中,高技能的攀岩者、网球运动员、钢琴家已经超越了专注,达到了他们所称的经验之“流”,那是一种跟岩石、网球或音乐融为一体的感觉,“我与它”已然消失,跟任务合二为一,给人以更高水平的愉悦体验,而不仅仅是成功地完成了任务。我有这种体验,虽然很少,但来得还不算迟,或许你也有这种体验。这是一种最高形式的快乐。如果你一次专注于一件事情,你就会有更多这样的体验。

2005年5月13日I worked for a guy named Jack Welch for twenty years at GE. He was, and is, a great mentor as much as a great leader. If I had to isolate the subject he spoke most passionately to me about, over all those years, it is that SELF CONFIDENCE is the most important, the indispensable characteristic of success, the common characteristic shared by great leaders whose talents may have varied widely in most other respects. So, how do you get it? What is the secret to developing your own brand of self-confidence? First, you must resolve to grow intellectually, morally, technically, and professionally every day through your entire work and family life. You need to ask yourself every day: Am I really up to speed or falling behind? Am I still learning? Or am I just doing the same stuff on a different day or as Otis Redding sings, “Sitting on the dock of the bay... watching the tide roll away?” The lust for learning is age-independent. Another important way to build your confidence is to seek out the toughest jobs, the most daunting scientific, engineering or management challenges。

我在通用公司为一个名叫杰克·韦尔奇的家伙工作了20年。他既是一位伟大的领导者,也是一位伟大的导师,过去是,现在也是。如果我必须找出那些年里他充满激情地对我说的最主要的话,那就是:自信是最重要的,它是成功必不可少的,是所有在其他多数方面才能也许大相径庭的伟大领导者的共同特征。如何获得自信?培养你特有的自信的秘诀是什么?首先,你必须下决心每天都通过你的工作和家庭生活去获得智力、道德、技术与专业上的提高。你需要每天问自己:我是在加速前进还是在后退?我还在学习吗?我是在每天重复做同样的事情或就像奥蒂斯·瑞汀所唱的那样,“坐在海湾的码头上,看潮起潮落”?对学习的渴望是不受年龄限制的。培养自信的另一个重要途径是寻找最难做的工作,最棘手的科学、工程或管理方面的难题。

2000年5月19日There are times when you are going to do well, and times when you're going to fail. But neither the doing well, nor the failure is the measure of success. The measure of success is what you think about what you've done. Let me put that another way: The way to be happy is to like yourself and the way to like yourself is to do only things that make you proud. There's that old joke, not very funny, that goes, “No matter where you go, there you are。” That's true. The person who you're with most in life is yourself and if you don't like yourself you're always with somebody you don't like。

有时候你会干得很漂亮,有时候你会失败,但二者都不是衡量成功的标准。衡量成功的标准是你自己对你的所为怎么看。让我换一句话说:让自己幸福的办法是喜欢你自己,喜欢自己的办法是只做让你自己感到骄傲的事情。有一个老笑话,不是很好笑,它是这么说的:“无论你走到哪里,你都在那里。”这是真的。你一生中跟你在一起最多的人是你自己,如果你不喜欢你自己,那你就会总是跟你不喜欢的人在一起。
