生活總是有著這樣或那樣的不如意，只要積極面對，就沒有什麼過不去的，以下是小編整理的經典勵志英語美文閱讀，歡迎參考閱讀!

　　積極看待每一天 To Be Positive Towards Every Day

If your life feels like it is lacking the power that you want and the motivation that you need, sometimes all you have to do is shift your point of view. By training your thoughts to concentrate on the bright side of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through on your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance. Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Don't leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not necessarily control over situations, but the ability to deal with whatever comes your way. Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your "worry hours" into "productive hours". Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved in. You will see beautiful things happen when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you adopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it an important part of your world.

如果你覺得心有餘力不足，覺得缺乏前進的動力，有時候你只需要改變思維的角度。試著訓練自己的思想朝好的一面看，這樣你就會汲取實現目標的動力，而不會因為消極沉淪停滯不前。一旦變換看問題的角度，你的生活會豁然開朗，幸福快樂會接踵而來。別交出掌握命運的主動權，也別指望局面會不可思議的好轉。你必須與內心希望與熱情步調一致。建立自信，敢於與困難短兵相接，而非繞道而行。記住，力量不是駕馭局勢的法寶，無堅不摧的能力才是最重要的。 請堅信，美好的降臨並非不可能，失誤也許是成功的前奏。將惶恐化作信任，學會超越擔憂和疑慮。讓“誠惶誠恐”的時光變得“富有成效”。不要揮霍浪費精力，將它投到有意義的事情中去。當你下意識品嚐生命的歡愉時，美好就會出現。當你積極地看待生活，並以此作為你的日常準則時，你就會找到快樂的真諦。

　　保持快樂 Be Happy

“The days that make us happy make us wise.”----John Masefield

快樂的日子使人睿智。” --- 約翰梅斯菲爾德

when I first read this line by England’s Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it.

第一次讀到英國桂冠詩人梅斯菲爾德的這行詩時，我感到十分震驚。他想表達什麼意思？我以前從未對此仔細考慮，總是認定這行詩反過來才正確。但他冷靜而又胸有成竹的表達引起了我的注意，令我無法忘懷。

Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear.

終於，我似乎領會了他的意思，並意識到這行詩意義深遠。快樂帶來的睿智存在於敏銳的洞察力之間，不會因憂慮而含混迷惑，也不會因絕望和厭倦而黯然模糊，更不會因恐懼而造成盲點。

Active happiness---not mere satisfaction or contentment ---often comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it. The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.

積極的快樂 – 並非單純的滿意或知足 – 通常不期而至，就像四月裡突然下起的春雨，或是花蕾的突然綻放。然後，你就會發覺與快樂結伴而來的究竟是何種智慧。草地更為青翠，鳥吟更為甜美，朋友的缺點也變得更能讓人理解，寬容。快樂就像是一副眼鏡，可以矯正你的`精神視力。

Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall. Happy, the wall crumbles.

快樂的視野並不僅限於你周圍的事物。當你不快樂時，你的思維陷入情感上的悲哀，你的眼界就像是被一道牆給阻隔了，而當你快樂時，這道牆就會砰然倒塌。

The long vista is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about you----people, thoughts, emotions, pressures---are now fitted into the larger scene. Everything assumes a fairer proportion. And here is the beginning of wisdom.

你的眼界變得更為寬廣。你腳下的大地，你身邊的世界，包括人，思想，情感和壓力，現在都融入了更為廣闊的景象之中，其間每件事物的比例都更加合理。而這就是睿智的起始。

　　青春 Youth

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

青春不是年華，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹脣、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢巨集的想象，炙熱的戀情；青春是生命的深泉在湧流。

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，進取壓倒苟安。如此銳氣，二十後生而有之，六旬男子則更多見。年歲有加，並非垂老，理想丟棄，方墮暮年。

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹廢必致靈魂。憂煩，惶恐，喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.

無論年屆花甲，抑或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇蹟之誘惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一臺天線，只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的訊號，你就青春永駐，風華常存。

When your aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you’ve grown old, even at 20; but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there’s hope you may die young at 80.

一旦天線下降，銳氣便被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，即使年方二十，實已垂垂老矣；然則只要樹起天線，捕捉樂觀訊號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺年輕。

　　一位天使這樣說 An Angel Wrote

An angel wrote:

Many people will walk in and out of your life,

but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head;

To handle others, use your heart.

Anger is only one letter short of danger.

If someone betrays you once, it's his fault;

If he betrarys you twice, it's your fault.

Great minds discuss ideas;

Average minds discuss events;

Small minds discuss people.

God gives every bird it's food,

But He does not throw it into it's nest.

He who loses money, loses much;

He who loses a friend, loses more;

He who loses faith, loses all.

Beautiful young people are acts of nature,

But beautiful old people are works of art.

Learn from the mistakes of others.

You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.

The tongue weights practically nothing,

But so few people can hold it.

Friends, you and me...

you brought another friend...

and then there were3...

we started our group...

Our circle of friends... and like that circle...

there is no beginning or end...

一位天使這樣說：

許多朋友進出你的生命，

但是隻有真正的朋友會在你的心中留下腳印。

要操控自己，用你的腦﹔

要指揮別人，用你的心。

生氣和危險只有一字之差。

如果別人背叛你一次，那是他的錯﹔

如果他背叛你二次，那是你的錯。

心胸遠大的人談理想﹔

一般的人批評事情﹔

心胸狹小的人道人長短。

上帝給每隻小鳥喂她的食物，

但是他不會把食物丟到她的巢。

失去金錢的人，失去很多﹔

失去朋友的人，失去更多﹔

失去信心的人，失去所有。

美麗的年輕人是天然形成，

美麗的老年人才是藝術作品。

從別人所犯的錯誤中學習。

你不能活得那麼長足以經歷這一切。

舌頭的重量微不足道，

但少有人可控制它。

你和我是朋友……

你帶來另一位朋友……

我們就有三個朋友……

我們開始成為一個小組……

就像一個圈圈……

沒有開始也沒有結束……

　　做你想做的夢 Dream What You Dream of

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

在一生有多少這樣的時刻：我們對一個人朝思暮想，只想一把把他們從夢中拉出來，真切的擁抱一回！

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

一扇通往幸福的門關閉了，另一扇幸福之門打開了，可有多少次啊，我們徘徊在那扇關閉的門前，卻忽略了那扇早已為我們開啟的新的幸福之門。

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

不要以貌取人，外貌可能會欺騙你；不要追逐財富，財富會消失的。去尋找那個讓你笑口常開的人吧，一個微笑就可以使暗淡的日子豁然開朗。去追尋那個令你心靈愉悅的人吧！

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

做你想做的夢，去你想去的地方，成為你想成為的人，因為你只有一次生命和一次機會去做你想做的事情。

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

願幸福與你永伴，使你親切可愛；願你歷經磨難，使你堅韌不拔；願你痛徹心肺，使你通情達理，願你充滿希望，使你幸福快樂。

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

世界上最幸福的人並不一定擁有最好的東西，他們只是最充分利用、珍惜了他們生命中的一切。

Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

愛始於微笑，育於親吻，終於流淚。

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

五彩繽紛的明天常常建立在對過去的遺忘之上。只有對過去的失敗和傷痛不再耿耿於懷，生活才會變得更加美好。

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

當你呱呱落地、啼哭不已時，周圍的人卻笑逐顏開；要認真的生活，只有這樣，當你走到生命的盡頭時，你才會含笑而眠，而周圍的人卻痛哭不已。
