勵誌的英語小短文帶翻譯如下：
勵誌小短文1：Happiness Is a State of Mind.
Every day of your life, it is important to take the time to “smell the roses” — to appreciate the experiences that lead to happiness. This is part of being truly happy.
Happiness is a state of mind. It starts with accepting where you are, knowing where you are going and planning to enjoy every moment along the way.?
You know how to be happy, and feel that you have enough time or money or love or whatever you need to achieve your goals. And just feeling that you have enough of everything means that you do indeed have enough.
You have to choose to be happy, and focus upon being happy, in order to be happy. If you instead focus upon knowing that you will be happy if you achieve something, you will never be happy, as you have not learned to “smell the roses”.?
The irony is that when you are happy, you are inevitably more productive, and far more likely to achieve what everything-seekers are seeking.
翻譯：幸福是壹種思考狀態。
在妳生活中的每壹天，花些時間“聞聞身邊的玫瑰”是十分重要的 —— 停下腳步，品味那些帶給妳幸福的經歷。這是真正快樂的壹部分。
幸福是壹種思考狀態。當妳開始接受自己現在的生活狀態，知曉妳將來如何發展，並已做好準備享受這過程中的每個瞬間時，幸福便已悄悄來到妳身邊。妳知道如何才能幸福，並感到自己擁有充裕的時間和金錢，足夠的愛，和其他任何能夠幫助妳達成目標的東西。當妳感到自己已擁有壹切，這才是真正的知足。
如果妳想幸福，就必須去選擇它。妳需要專註於幸福這件事本身，以使幸福降臨。但如果妳總是想著，妳若能完成某件事就會變得很幸福，那麽妳將永遠無法得到幸福，因為妳沒有學會“聞聞身邊的玫瑰”。而諷刺的是，當妳感到幸福美滿，妳將不可避免地更加富有成就，並更有可能比那些“執著於得到壹切的人”擁有更多。
勵誌小短文2：Look Within to Find Happiness.
How often do you hear people say “I will be happy when …”such as “When I get that thing, I will be happy,” “I will be happy when I pass the exam” and “I would be happy if I had more money”. I have heard these things before and I am sure that I will hear them again.
Many people want to believe that finding happiness is all about finding or getting something that they want. However, not many people have ever found long-term happiness by achieving a goal. There will always be another thing that they want. There will always be another exam or another dollar.
To break this vicious cycle, we must find our happiness somewhere else —within ourselves. In other words, happiness is completely an inside job. The key to finding happiness is to understand that happiness is a choice rather than the result of an experience. We have been given everything
We need to be happy. Allow yourself to choose happiness. If life was perfect, would you be happy? Life is perfect because we create it with our choices. Since we can create life, we can create happiness and choose how much better our lives can get!
Only when we can accept that life is perfect as it is, and that our lives are the sum total of everything that has happened up to this moment, can we accept the joy and the happiness we deserve.
翻譯：快樂在妳心裏。
“等我得到那個東西就會開心”,”等我通過那次考試就會開心”,”等我有更多的錢就會開心”,諸如此類的”等……的時候就會開心”話,妳聽過不少次吧？我聽過這樣話,而且相信以後還會聽到。
許多人都相信,找到幸福就等於找到或得到他們的心儀之物。然而,很多人並沒有在目標實現之後就獲得長久的幸福。這是因為人們總想要得到更多的東西,總還要走入考場,總還要賺更多的錢。
為了打破這種惡性循環,我們必須在其他地方找到幸福——那就是在我們的內心世界裏。換句話說,幸福是心靈的產物。得到幸福的關鍵就在於要懂得幸福是壹種選擇,而不是經歷的結果。
我們已經擁有獲得幸福所需要的壹切。去選擇自己的幸福吧！倘若生活是完美的,妳會覺得幸福嗎？人生之所以完美就因為它是我們通過選擇創造出來的。既然我們能創造生活,我們就能創造幸福,並選擇更美好的人生！
我們只有在接受生活原本就很完美,並且生活就是此刻所經歷之事的全部之時,我們才能得到我們應得的那份喜悅與幸福。
勵誌小短文3：Conquer Fears.
To conquer our fears, we must go past them.
To fear is natural; to go past them is heroic. Fear is a normal part of life, symbolizing that there are new, extraordinary things to come across and face.?
To be able to seethese things before they happen is a sign of wisdom. Fear is nothing out of the ordinary. To admit that we are fearing is to prove that we value our life.
And men should pay attention to the call of fears. To truly be a leader or someone who is heroic and brave, we should focus on getting past these fears. And it is frightful for people to go through life ignoring fears, because they may often forget their heart and step into life without responsibility.
To be born is to live. To live is to fear. To fear is to be challenged. To accept our fears is to be mature. It needs bravery, maturity and vitality to face our fears, accept the challenges and hope for the best.
翻譯：克服恐懼。
若想克服恐懼,我們就必須要敢於正視它們。
恐懼是壹件很自然的事,但克服恐懼卻是壹種英勇的行為。恐懼是日常生活中不可或缺的壹部分,它意味著我們要去面對和處理層出不窮的、意想不到的事情。能夠預知將要發生的事情是壹種智慧。恐懼並不是什麽稀奇事兒,而且承認恐懼是證明我們珍視生命的有力證據。
人人都應該對恐懼的到來有先見之明。要想成為真正的佼佼者或者英勇之人,我們就必須集中精力去正視恐懼。那些在生活中忽視恐懼的人是非常可怕的,因為他們不僅常常違背自己的心意,而且在缺少責任心中茍且偷生。
生者為生,生來為懼,懼為應站,迎懼者諳事理。要想正視恐懼、接受挑戰、憧憬美好未來,那就要具備大無畏的勇氣、成熟的心智與頑強的生命力。
