合理安排任务，有效利用时间

生活中常常遇到这样的情况，事情一下子冲击过来，压力倍增，这时恨不得能有分身术。那到底该怎样安排任务充分利用时间呢？Take on Tasks One at a Time
一次一个任务
We think we are reducing stress by accomplishing more than one thing at a time, when in fact, we are causing ourselves more stress than ever. Stress-busting tip: leave multitasking to your personal computer. Do one thing at a time, do it well, and move on to the next item on your list. That’s the best way to regain a sense of control over time.

我们自认为同时做几件事可以减轻压力，但事实上，我们是给自己增加更多压力。减压秘诀：在多项任务在你的电脑上列出。每次只做一件事并且把它做好，然后再去做清单上的下一件事。这时你会感觉到自己又能重新掌控时间了。

Make an Effort to Do Less
努力少做些事
Think for a moment about where in your life you are spending valuable time on something that you could possibly live without. Think about getting away from the TV and computer screens that are mental vampires, sucking the life out of us by stealing our time and attention. By doing less and by carefully choosing which activities give you the least amount of benefit for the time commitment they require, you’ll actually end up creating more time in your day.
仔细想一下：你的一生中把多少宝贵的时间花在那些就算没有你也能活下去的事 情上。不妨考虑一下远离诸如电视和电脑等等。它们是精神吸血鬼，偷取了我们的时间和精力，吸干了我们的生命。少做些这样的事，权衡下再选择那些能使你在一 定的时间内获益最多的活动，那么你就在一天中创造更多的时间了。

Scale Down Your Priorities
按优先级逐级做事
Make a list of four things that you would like to accomplish today. Keep the list with you and stay with each item until you have completed it. Then go to the next item on your list and repeat the process. Keep doing this until you’ve gotten to the end of your list. Most of us place overwhelming demands on ourselves, or we expect far too little of ourselves. The goal is to hit the “sweet spot,” where our expectations of what we can accomplish in any given 24-hour period are in line with reality. If you’re afraid that you won’t accomplish all four things, well, that’s why they invented tomorrow!
列一个清单，上面包括你今天要完成的四件事。把这份清单 带在身上，每完成一个项目，就划掉。然后继续清单上的下一个项目并重复以上过程。持续这样直到你把清单上的所有项目都完成。我们大多数人都对自己要求太 多，或者对自己期望太低。我们的目标就是达到“甜蜜点”：现实中我们做到了期望中的在24小时内完成的事。如果你害怕自己完成不了所有的事的话，这就是明 天之所以存在的原因了。

Clear Out the Clutter
清除杂物
When our homes, our workplaces, and our vehicles have a sense of orderliness to them, we actually feel more peaceful and less stressed out. We’ve all gone through the agony of trying to rush out the door when we can’t find our car keys, wallet, or purse! Keeping your personal space clutter-free makes it easier to manage your time when you’re in a hurry.
当我们的家庭，工作环境和汽车都整齐有序时，我们会感到更平和，压力也会更小点。我们都经历过找不到汽车钥匙，皮夹或钱包时想奔出门的痛苦。把个人空间弄得整齐一点，这可以让你在忙乱之中更好地掌握自己的时间。

Replenish Your Body with Rest
注意休息
Most of us constantly have our fingers on the fast-forward button, when we really need to hit the pause button for a while. Every time we add another activity or responsibility to our lives, we generally take the time for that activity out of our sleep. We can only carry on not sleeping enough for a while before it catches up with us, causing all sorts of health disorders, including a terrible sense of frustration and stress.
当我们确实需要休息片刻的时候，我们中的大多数都在快速前进中。每次我们生活中增加了一个新任务或责任时，我们通常会为了完成它而不惜牺牲自己的睡眠时间。在完成之前，我们总是少睡觉也要把它们尽力完成。结果，导致了各种健康紊乱，其中就包括严重的沮丧感和压力。
Learn about the most common sleep thieves and discover strategies for getting the good night’s sleep you deserve.
向那些一下常见的偸睡者学习下吧，寻找一些方法使自己获得应有的睡眠吧。

Think Positively About Time
积极乐观地看待时间
We all know how weeds can overtake a garden, so it is our job constantly to notice and uproot any negative thoughts in the garden that is our mind. As a result, positive thoughts can take root, bloom, and create the beauty that we need in order to enjoy our lives to the fullest. If you hear yourself saying, “I don’t have enough time,” then say, and preferably out loud, “I have all the time I need for all the things I need to do.” A declaration like that has a relaxing and liberating effect on every cell in your body, which relieves tension.
我们都知道种子是 如何成长为一片花园，所以我们的工作就是不断地发现并连根拔起我们心灵花园中负面的思想。这样，积极的思想能够生根，发芽并创造出我们所需的美丽，从而我 们能充分的享受生活。如果你听到自己说，“我没足够的时间，”然后，大声说出，“我有足够的时间做我需要做的事！”这样的一种宣告可以放松并解放你体内的 每一个细胞，从而缓和压力。

学英语要像练武术一样

True mastery of any skill takes a lifetime.
对任何技能的掌握都需要一生的刻苦操练。
中国的每一人几乎都看过很多武打片，武打片里几乎都有同样的故事：全家被杀，走头无路，躲进深山，苦练武功。冬练三九、夏练三伏，君子报仇十年不晚！最 后，成功复仇，故事圆满结束。每次我看武打片最感兴趣的就是他们整个自我锻造的过程。苦练基本功，一招一式都仔细揣摩，反复操练，直至出神入化。这和学英 语是完全一个道理！
回想我的一生，有很多这样的经历。我曾经约同学一起在一棵大苹果树上练了两个多月英语。我们躲在茂密的树里面，坐在树叉上，闻着苹果树香，忘记外面精彩的时间，彻底安静下来，一心想着一口流利的英语。由于每天都能从树中传出喊英语的声音，人们把这棵树叫英语树！
亲爱的朋友们，请打印或抄下下面这段精彩文章，找个公园或风景秀丽的地方，去疯狂操练吧！带上家人和朋友，共享快乐成长时光！
The only way to master a marital art is to practice each move over an over until you can perform it precisely. It takes the same dedicated effort and practice to become a fluent English speaker.

The only way to ever really master English is to practice each word, each syllable and each individual sound until you can pronounce it exactly right. There is no shortcut to becoming a master.

True mastery of any skill takes a lifetime.

新东方名师 – 赵丽

赵丽不仅仅是在教学上严格要求自己，在其他方面都努力做到最好。对她而言只要努力没有办不到的事情，她有自己的人生格言：十分和十二分原则，即，当别人要 求你十分的东西，你给他十二分的东西，你的人生肯定是向上的；当别人付出十分的努力得到一件东西，你付出十二分，那你肯定比他先得到。这句话听起来很容 易，但真正能做到的人不多。按赵丽的话说：“一个人做一件事情，只有专注、认真才能成功，只有钻进‘牛角尖’中，才会见到‘牛角尖’中别样的风景。”

学习外语需要-重塑理念

一般来说许多人对英语学习方法特别感兴趣，我也是，但是事实上专注于投机取巧而忽略本质上的学习是注定要挫败的 – 英语学习没有捷径，只有努力程度。正如钱钟书先生所说：“在学习上没有任何捷径可走，即使是绝顶聪明的人，也要下最笨的功夫。” 是的，难以理解，但这是事实。

你努力了没有。看着别人能轻松地听懂英语广播、说一口流利的美语，羡慕得要死，却不知道原因，还归咎于天赋和客观。大凡，学英语有所成者、英语专业者对所谓的方法并不太在意，在意的只是花了多少时间去听写说。是的，太难，但是45岁的钟道隆却可以5：30起床，11点钟睡觉，先后听坏十几部收 录机，一年后成为翻译！你呢？如果真的不想学好英语就罢了，如果想，我只想说：人是要有点精神的。你也行！只是不够努力。时间就象海绵里的水，只 要愿意去挤总还是有的。人的一生就是这么一回事，你可以打牌，玩麻将，也可以努力、尽全力去干成自己喜欢的事。前者简单，后者难为。因为难，所以可贵，才 对得起生活，对得起自己。外国人说，人要是不努力奋斗芝麻也榨不出香油——-做什么事既然要做就要尽力去做，做好—–这就叫性格！许多时候 我们抱怨，闷闷不乐，却从不想一想我够努力了没有？在失去某些东西的努力奋斗中，我们体会到了另一种快乐—奋斗。正所 谓：Pain past is pleasure.
去努力吧，如果你没有成功，是勤奋不够。人，不是一具行尸走肉，人人都有渴求，却总是放弃不了短暂的欢娱与温柔，终铸成一生的遗恨与忧愁！长在同一片蓝天下，别人能，我为什么不能？！

马克思说得好：“在科学上没有平坦的大路可走，只有不畏劳苦在崎岖小路上攀登的人才有希望达到光辉的顶点。”

大量实践，以量变求质变。

要有时间观念 – “一寸光阴一寸金，寸金难买寸光阴。”

要以最普通的心态来看待自己，要有“笨鸟先飞”的心态 – 钱钟书先生说：“越是聪明人，越要懂得下笨功夫”。

机会对每个人都是平等的，所以要抓住机遇 – 机不可失，时不再来。

哈佛图书馆的二十条训言

3）觉得为时已晚的时候，恰恰是最早的时候。
4）勿将今日之事拖到明日。
5）学习时的苦痛是暂时的，未学到的痛苦是终生的。
6）学习这件事，不是缺乏时间，而是缺乏努力。
7）幸福或许不排名次，但成功必排名次。
8）学习并不是人生的全部。但既然连人生的一部分 – 学习也无法征服，还能做什么呢？
9）请享受无法回避的痛苦。
10）只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。
11）谁也不能随随便便成功，它来自彻底的自我管理和毅力。
12）时间在流逝。
13) 现在流的口水，将成为明天的眼泪。

16) 投资未来的人，是忠于现实的人。
17) 受教育程度代表收入。
18) 一天过完，不会再来。
19) 即使现在，对手也不停地翻动书页。
20) 没有艰辛，便无所获。

榜样激励我前行

钟道隆先生是我若干年前就开始崇拜的，因为他的《英语逆向学习法》，还有他45岁开始学英语、14个月后当翻译的经历。我记住了钟先生最喜欢的那句名言——“绝顶聪明的人偏要下最笨的功夫”。

新东方的老师和他们的讲座，可能的确是影响了无数学生：他们对苦难的坚强，对目标的坚持，对生命的坚信。 俞大哥的自传体书我读过，所以对他的演讲内容并不陌生，但那个演讲却依然让我感动。因为，一个不停懈追求成功的人，他的经历即使被诉说千遍万遍，仍然闪烁着耀眼的光——只要这世界上存在一个奋斗成功的例子，我们就没有任何借口来为自己的不优秀来开脱。

李阳去 年的现场讲座，我听了一场。李阳有无数个让人深刻的表情和无数句让人难忘的表白，我记住其中的一句：成功就是简单的事情重复做，直到成功！

梦想有多远，你就能飞多远

她很伤心，从臂弯里抬起头，告诉我，她父亲说那些教练讲得不对。他们根本不懂得梦想的力量。她父亲说，如果她真地有心去代表一个好的大学打篮球，如果她真的想获得奖学金，任何东西也不能阻止她，除非她自己没有这个心。

第二年，当她和她的球队去参加北加利福尼亚州冠军赛时，她被一位大学的招生人员看中了。那所大学真地为她提供了一份全额资助的奖学金。父亲又一次跟她说：“如果梦想远大，就一定可以克服艰难险阻。”

I used to watch her from my kitchen window, she seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during recess. A sea of children, and yet to me, she stood out from them all.

I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could.

I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. She would practice dribbling and shooting over and over again, sometimes until dark. One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly in my eyes and without a moment of hesitation she said,”I want to go to college. The only way I can go is if I get a scholarship. I like basketball. I decided that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” Then she smiled and ran towards the court to recap the routine I had seen over and over again.

Well, I had to give it to her— she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her varsity team to victory.

One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head cradled in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,” came to a soft reply. “I’m just too short.” The coach told her that at”5′5″ she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team– much less offered a scholarship– so she should stop dreaming about college.

She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet.She lifted her head from her hands and told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just didn’t understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a good college, if she truly wanted a scholarship, that nothing could stop her except one thing– her own attitude. He told her again,” if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.”

The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was seen by a college recruiter. She was indeed offered a scholarship, a full ride, to a Division I, NCAA women’s basketball team. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked toward for all those years.

It’s true: If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.

Don’t Quit

When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow.

Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.

Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
