为您找到与life is all about choice相关的共200个结果:
Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, "If I were any better, I'd be twins!" He was a natural motivator.
If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation. Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, "I don' t get it. You can' t be positive all the time. How do you do it?"
Michael replied, each morning I wake up and say to myself 'Mike, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or you can choose to be in a bad mood.' I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life."
"Yeah, right. It isn't that easy." I protested.
"Yes it is, " Michael said. "Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people will affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line is: It's your choice how you live life. " I reflected on what Michael said.
Soon thereafter, I left the big enterprise that I had worked in for years to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often though about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it. Several years later, I heard Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower.
After l8 hours of surgery, and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the accident. When I asked him how he was, he replied, "If I were any better, I'd be twins. Wanna see my scars?" I declined to see his wounds, but did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.
"The first thing that went through my mind was the well being of my soon-to-born daughter," Michael replied. "Then, as I lay on the ground, remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die. I chose to live." "Weren't you scared? Did you lose consciousness?" I asked. Michael continued, "... the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the operation room and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, l read 'He's a dead man.' I knew I needed to take action." "What did you do?" I asked. "Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me" said Michael. "She asked me if I was allergic to anything. 'Yes,' I said. The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled", 'Gravity'" Over their laughter, I told them, 'I'm choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead'."
Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude.
I learned from him that every day we have a choice to live fully. Attitude is everything.

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.
When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to inspect the house and handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."
What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.
Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Who could say it more clearly? Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a vegetable, I decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it slipped from my hands and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles, rolled everywhere. I tried to use a broom, but with each swipe the peas rolled across the kitchen, bounced off the wall on the other side and rolled in another direction.
My mental state at the time was fragile. Losing a spouse is an unbearable pain. I got on my hands and knees and pulled them into a pile to dispose of. I was half laughing and half crying as I collected them. I could see the humor in what happened, but it doesn't take much for a person dealing with grief to break down.
For the next week, every time I was in the kitchen, I would find a pea that had escaped my first cleanup. In a corner, behind a table leg, in the frays at the end of a mat, or hidden under a heater, they kept turning up. Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean, and found a dozen or so petrified peas hidden underneath.
At the time I found those few remaining peas, I was in a new relationship with a wonderful woman I met in a widow/widower support group. After we married, I was reminded of those peas under the refrigerator. I realized my life had been like that bag of frozen peas. It shattered. My wife was gone. I was in a new city with a busy job and a son having trouble adjusting to his new surroundings and the loss of his mother. I was a wreck. I was a bag of spilled, frozen peas. My life had come apart and scattered.
When life gets you down; when everything you know comes apart; when you think you can never get through the tough times, remember, it is just a bag of scattered, frozen peas. The peas can be collected and life will move on. You will find all the peas. First the easy peas come together in a pile. You pick them up and start to move on. Later, you find the smaller, harder-to-find peas. When you pull all the peas together, life will be whole again.
The life you know can be scattered at any time. You will move on, but how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, or will you pick them up one-by-one and put your life back together?
How will you collect your peas?

这个忙碌的社会盛行抄袭、复制,这看似最便捷的方法加快了我们的工作“效率”和行动步伐。就连个人生活也不例外,我们习惯了从他人失败或成功的经历上收获经验,祈求少走些弯路。
我们都有过这样的经历,我们的选择都没有遵照自己最感兴趣的角度出发,但却无计可施。表面上每件事情都还不错,但是内心里却翻江倒海不能平静,但同时用别的借口搪塞自己,告诫自己别去犯傻了。
然而,没有人知道哪条是正道,变或不变,只有你自己才知道原因和答案。
“Choosing is the byname of freedom. 自由别名乃选择。”
内心的需求与选择比众人习以为常的选择更趋合理。别说你没有机会或运气不够,你现在有的是热情,缺的是信念而已,冒一点点险,作些细微的改变。机会是你迈出的第一步,而运气,是后来的事情。

in a university commencement address several years ago, brian dyson, ceo of coca cola enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments:
几年前,在一所大学的开幕典礼中,可口可乐的首席执行官布赖恩?戴森讲到工作与其他义务的关系:
imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. you name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. you will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. if you drop it, it will bounce back.
想象生命是一场不停丢掷五个球于空中的游戏。这五个球分别为工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵,而且你很努力地掷着这五个球,不让它们落地。很快地你会了解工作是一个橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它,它还是会弹回来。
but the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. if you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. they will never be the same. you must understand that and strive for balance in your life. how?
但是家庭、健康、朋友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。一旦你失手落下,它们可能会少了一角,留下无法挽回的记号、刻痕、损坏甚至碎落一地。它们将永远不会跟以前一样。你必须了解这个道理,并且为平衡你的生命而努力。但要怎么才做得到呢?
don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. it is because we are different that each of us is special.
别拿自己和他人比较,这只会降低了你原有的价值。因为我们都是独一无二的,因为我们每一个人都很特别。
don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. only you know what is best for you.
别人认为重要的事不一定是你的目标。只有你才知道什么最适合你。
don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
不要将贴近你的心的人、事物视为理所当然的存在。你必须将他们视为你的生命一般好好地抓牢他们。没有他们,生命将失去意义。
don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. by living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
别让你的生命总在依恋过去种种或是寄望未来中逝去。如果你活在每个当下,你就活出了生命中的每一天。
don’t give up when you still have something to give. nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
当你还能给予的时候别轻言放弃。只要你不放弃,就有无限延伸的可能。
don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. it is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.
别害怕承认你并非完美。正因如此,我们才得以藉由这脆弱的细丝紧密地串绑在一起。
don’t be afraid to encounter risks. it is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
别害怕遇到危险。正因如此,我们才得以藉由这些机会学习勇敢。
don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. the quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
别以爱太难找到作为借口而紧闭你的心扉。最迅速找到爱的方法就是给予你的爱;最快速失去爱的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱不放;维持爱的最好方式就是给爱一双翅膀。
don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
莫要匆忙地度过你的一生,那匆忙让你忘了曾经到过哪里,也让你忘了你要去哪里。
don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
莫忘记,人类情感上最大的需要是感恩。
don’t be afraid to learn. knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
莫害怕学习。知识没有重量,它是可以随意携带的珍宝。
don’t use time or words carelessly. neither can be retrieved.
莫漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或口无遮拦。时间与言词两者都是一放便收不回来。
life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
生命不是一场赛跑, 而是一步一个脚印的旅程。
yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift: that’s why we call it ‘the present’.
过去已成历史,未来充满未知。今天是份礼物:那就是我们称之为“现在”的原因。

富足是一种生活方式。它不是偶尔买来、从架子上拿下来、抹去灰尘用上一两次然后又放回到架子上的东西。
富足是一种哲学,它体现于你的生理机能和价值观之中,并带有自己的一套信仰。无论走路、睡觉、洗澡你都会感觉到它,你就要维护并照顾它。
富足并不一定需要金钱。许多人拥有金钱所能买到的一切,但却内心空虚。富足源自内心,其中包含一些重要的自我成分,比如爱、关心、善良和温柔、体贴与同情。富足是一种生存状态,它向外发散,像处于众多星球之间的太阳那样发光发亮。
来自富足的光亮不允许黑暗的出现或存在。除非选择允许它存在。真正的富足不给谎言或通常玩的游戏留有空间,因为富足已经把空间填得太满了。这可能是一个挑战,因为我们仍然需要为了让别人看见而发光。
富足是看到人们的天赋,而不是他们的缺陷。所有的事物都要看其天赋而不是缺陷。
从知道自己的富足是什么时候开始,填满空间,全身心投入生活。你的选择已经告诉了你。例如:教授能够了解队员并激发其潜力,那是他们的天赋;顾问和客服专业人事通常能够提供很多成功且很具实用性的案例;行政助理和虚拟助理熟识协调配合和时间管理的技巧。富足充盈于你的四周以及你的内心。明白富足的内容,爱本色的自己,不要为自己缺少的或是能变得更好的方面爱自己,而是为此时此刻的富足而爱自己。
要处于你已经拥有的事物的富足状态。我保证她们就在那儿,深藏不露却从未远离。将其看成空气,吸入体内,因为它们是你的。放开暂时并不富足的东西。把你富足的所有天赋写在橱柜里的鞋盒子上,如果需要就每天早上拉开橱柜,知道你的天赋都在那儿。
你需要学会信任自己的富足。当你开始处于自己富足的空间之内时,你所需要的东西都会在你需要是出现。这就是更高的力量设置这个宇宙运转的方式。要相信宇宙的能量。知道这一点会让你在其力量面前保持谦卑,但也会让你的光亮闪耀在所有需要的地方。只有处于富足的状态,就是做你自己。

Professor Green - Read All About It (feat. Emeli Sandé)
Lyrics:
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it
Oh
Nothing to hide
Stifle and smother
Strife made me tougher
Never mumbled or shy to trouble
I rise above all
Expectations to get rep
Ain't never begged yet
When I wanted to get pence, hustle,
To be, I'm exactly what my neck says
Saying I tried to cash in on my Dad's death,
I wanted to vent 'stead I said nothing at all
After all you were never kin to me,
Family is something that you never been to me,
In fact making it harder for me to see my father was the only thing that
You ever did for me
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
As a kid I looked up to you,
Only thing was I never saw enough of you
Last thing I said to you was I hated you,
I loved you but now it's too late to say to you
Just didn't know what to do and how to deal with it,
Even now deep down I still live it
To think, I used to blame me,
I wonder what I did to you to make you hate me
I wasn't even 5, life's a journey and mine wasn't an easy ride
You never even got to see me rap,
I just wish you woulda reached out,
I wish you woulda been round when I been down
I wish that you could see me now,
Wherever you are I really hope you find peace
But know that if I ever have kids,
Unlike you I'll never let them be without me
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
Everything I have, I give to you
In every one of these lines I sing to you
My job's more like public service
My life just became yours to read and interpret
If you heard it it'd come across a lot different at times
I throw fits when I read how they word things
You see me smile
Now you're gonna have to see me hurtin'
Coz pretending everything is alright when it ain't, really isn't working
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid
They can read all about it, read all about it, oh
I ain't censoring myself for nobody
I'm the only thing I can be,
All that is good, all that is bad, all that is, me
I wanna sing, I wanna shout
I wanna scream till the words dry out
So put it in all of the papers, I'm not afraid

The Afters - Life is Beautiful
Lyrics:
Through the window
I see you waiting
You are smiling
Cause I'm coming
Your eyes are a story
An ocean of memories
Pictures of faces and places
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all
All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Living and dying
Laughing or crying
If we have the whole world or have nothing
I know there are long nights
But we'll make it
With every sunrise comes a new light
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all
All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
A father's love
A wedding dance
New Year's dreams
A toast with friends
A soldier coming home from war
The faith the hope of so much more
A brand new life, a mother's prayer
Shooting stars, ocean air
A lover's kiss, and hard goodbyes
Fireworks, Christmas lights
These are things that make us feel alive
These are the times that make us realize
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
These are the times that make us realize

以下是小编整理的情感类英语美文欣赏:Five Balls Of Life, 希望使你的心灵有所触动。
This was written by the CEO of Coca-Cola Brian G.Dyson.It was used as Georgia Tech'sCommencement Address:
Imagine life as a game in which you are jugglingsome five balls in the air. You name them work,family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keepingall of these in the air. You will soon understand thatwork is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounceback.But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop oneof these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They willnever be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are differentthat each of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best foryou.
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be yourlife, for without them, life is meaningless.
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living yourlife one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment youstop trying.
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us toeach together.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receivelove is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keeplove is to give it wings.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where youare going.
Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift: that’s why we call it ‘ThePresent’.

下面是读文网小编整理的英语美文:Five Balls Of Life ,欢迎大家阅读!
This was written by the CEO of Coca-Cola Brian G. Dyson.It was used as Georgia Tech'sCommencement Address:
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work,family, health, friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soonunderstand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.But the other fourballs family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will beirrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are differentthat each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best foryou.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be yourlife, for without them, life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living yourlife one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment youstop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us toeach together.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receivelove is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keeplove is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where youare going.
Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is a gift: that's why we call it 'ThePresent'.

It takes only a minute to get crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to lovesomeone. But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go forsomeone who makes you smile. Because it only takes a smile to make a dark day seem bright.Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Maybe we meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meetthe right person. We will know how to be grateful for that gift.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don'tknow what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love will not provide assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expectlove in return; Just wait for it to grow in their hearts. But if it doesn't, be content. It grew inyours.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick themfrom your dreams and hug them for real!
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enoughsorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most ofeverything that comes along their way.
Happiness are for those who cry, those who have searched, and those who have tried becauseonly they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments:
几年前的大学毕业典礼演讲,可口可乐的首席执行官布赖恩戴森,谈到了工作与其他事情的关系。
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
想象生活是一个游戏,在游戏里面你向空中抛接五只球。你把它们命名为工作,家庭,健康,朋友和精神。你把它们全都保持在天空上。你会很快就明白工作就像是一个橡皮球。如果你不幸失手弄掉它,它是会反弹回来的。但是另外四个球,家庭、健康、朋友和精神是由玻璃做成的。如果你不幸失手弄掉它们中的任何一个,它们会有不可恢复的磨损、记号、刻痕、损坏甚至会碎落一地。它们将会永远不再像以前一样。你一定要明白这个道理并且努力平衡你的生活。如何?
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
不要通过与他人对比而破坏你的价值。因为我们都是不同的,每个人都是特别的。
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
