第二篇：philosophy of life 人生哲理

Time is life

Time is money; time is life, especially in this modern society of ours. It is important not only to businessmen but to people from all walks of life.

Punctuality is a habit. We can, if we like, get into the habit of doing things at the right time. But it is not easy to do this. Many people have a tendency for being late for one reason or another. No one likes to wait but we often let people wait for us, don’t we?

It is much easier to put things off, and say we will do them tomorrow or next week. Because it is easy to be unpunctual, many of us get into the bad habit of always being late for everything. And once we get into this bad habit, it is every hard to get out of it.

An unpunctual person is an enemy to himself, and a nuisance to everyone else. In school, the boy who is always late and behind with his lessons gets into trouble and learns little. An unpunctual clerk soon will lose his job. And a friend who always keeps you waiting may lose your friendship. The idea of punctuality is very important. You lose out on opportunities, respect and time when you are late.

To be punctual means to do what you should do on time, and a punctual person is in the habit of doing things at the proper time and is never late for his appointments-which is especially important in the current, fast developing society. To a worker, time is productivity. To students, time is knowledge.

时间就是生命

时间就是金钱，时间就是生命，尤其是在我们这样的现代社会。时间不仅对于商来说是很重要的，它对各行各业的人都同样重要。

守时是一种习惯。只要愿意，我们便可养成定时完成任务的习惯。但真正要做到守时却又不是件容易的事。许多人喜欢为迟到找这样或那样的借口。没有人愿意等待，可是我们又常让别人等待，不是吗？

把事情往后拖延或者说明天或下周再做是件容易的事情。不守时比守时更容易做到，所以我们中的许多人养成了做什么都迟到的坏习惯，而一旦我们养成了这种坏习惯，就很难根除了。 不守时的人既是自己的敌人，也使别人感到讨厌。在学校，常迟到或迟交作业的学生经常惹麻烦，成绩也差。不守时的雇员容易被炒，而不守时的朋友则可能会失去别人的友谊。 守时的观念很重要。要不然，你会失去很多机会，失去别人对你的尊重，也会失去因为迟到而耽误的时间。

守时意味着按时做你应该做的事。守时的人有按时做事的习惯，而且约会时绝不迟到。这一点在目前这个高速发展的社会显得尤为重要。对于人来说，时间就是生产力；而对于学生来说，时间就是知识。

Be a Good Student

Perhaps it is everyone’s dream to be a good student at school, but quite a few

Students feel at a loss on how to make it happen. It is easy if you can act on the following points. First of all, make full use of your time and work hard. Don’t put off till tomorrow what should be done today, as time that has passed will never come back. Today’s fast developing society requires adequate knowledge, which presses us to spare no efforts to study. Of course, your hard work will be rewarded one day.

Secondly, use your own judgment and present your point of view. A credulous attitude will only make you take things for granted. With your own judgment you will be able to tell right from

wrong and form your own theories.

Thirdly, set aside enough time for relaxation, entertainment, etc. Don’t ignore the harmful effects of all work and no play. Proper sports will build up your body and improve the efficiency of your studying.

To be a good student is easier said than done, for it requires students to make consistent efforts. But nothing is difficult to a man if he puts this heart into it.

做个好学生

每个人在读书时可能都梦想成为一名好学生，但相当多的人却不知道应该怎样做。如果你按以下几点去做，可能会容易得多。

首先，充分利用时间努力学习。因为时间是一去不复返的，所以不要把今天的事留到明天去做。今天高速发展的社会要求学生掌握大量的知识，所以我们需要不遗余力地学习。当然，你的努力总有一天会得到回报的。

其次，自己要开动脑筋，阐明观点。轻信容易使你将什么事情都当成是理所当然。凭借自己的判断力来，你将能够辨别是非，从而提出自己的理论。

第三，留出足够的时间来放松和娱乐等。不要忽视了只工作不玩耍带来的危害。适当的体育活动将使你体格健壮并提高学习效率。

要做一名好学生，说来容易做来难，因此它需要不懈的努力。但对于一个有心人来说，做什么都不会是难事。

Money isn’t Everything

If young people, struggling to make a life for themselves, were asked what is the most desirable thing to them, one of the most popular answers would be “money-as much as possible”People are materialistic in a market economy. And money is often the standard by which people are judged in such an environment. Usually, those people with more money are considered to be more successful.

So what do people who already rich value most? Is it really a wise thing to value money over other things in life? A wise man does not believe that money should be the thing most cared for in the journey of one’s whole life.

When you are young, there are many things including love which are more valuable and to be cared for than the ownership of money. If you have one billion dollars when you are old, the money will be of little value to you. So rich people often offer a lot of money to schools and homes for old people in poor areas.

Health is the most valuable thing in the world, because without it we can do nothing. Confidence is also crucial, as it can help us to overcome difficulties.

金钱不是万能的

如果问问那些正在为生存而奋斗的年轻人，他们最想要得到的是什么，最常见的回答可能就是“钱——而且越多越好”。在市场经时代，人们往往很重视物质。因此在这样的环境下，钱常被认为是衡量一个人的标准。一般说来，钱越多的人就会被认为是越成功的人。

那么，对于那些相当有钱的人来说，他们最看重的是什么呢？把金钱看得高于一切是否明智呢？明智的人认为金钱不应成为每个人一生旅程中的最大追求。

当你年轻的时候，有许多东西比金钱更值得追求，包括爱情在内。而当你老了的时候，即使

你有10亿美元，它对你也没有什么用处了。因此，有钱人常会把大量的钱损献给贫困地区的学校或老人院。

健康是世界上最有价值的东西，因为一旦没有了健康的身体，你将一事无成。而对于每个人来说自信心也是至关重要的，因为它可以帮助你渡过难关。

Be a Noble Person

Great men are usually presented as the high-achievers of humanity in our history books. Biographies are written, films are made, and the stories are told about their lives. Students are often encouraged to endeavor to emulate such people-often at the cost of their sincerity. What a social disgrace this is! After all, is it really fair and accurate to measure a person’s greatness only by the yardstick of his social standing? When we use such a measure to praise a high-achiever, aren’t we forgetting to consider the nobleness of his heart?

People who are noble at heart can never cheat either themselves or others. They can never make cunning deals to obtain success, or take advantage of others for their own benefit. However, such people are often unfairly branded as a weak minded, slow-witted low-achiever. After all, there are many around us who are not successful politicians, rich industrialists, or Noble Prize winners-like our own parents and some of our friends. These people are not considered“great”in our society. In my estimation, those are the very people who have nurtured the feels of compassion, love and benevolence towards others. I would rather respect these “small”people around me than the “great ”figures whose virtues are extolled in our history books.

做一个高尚的人

我们的史书通常都把伟人描述为道德品质高尚的人。人们为他们写传记、拍电影，讲述有关他们生平的故事，并鼓励学生们尽力去效仿这些伟人，而代价则是他们的真诚。这真是社会耻辱！只靠社会地位的高低来衡量一个人伟大与否是否公平与正确呢？当我们依照这个标准去赞美那些取得了巨大成就的人时，我们是否忘记了考虑他们心灵的高贵呢？

心灵高的人不会欺骗自己和他。他们绝不会靠欺骗的手段去获得成功。他不会为自己利益而利用别人。然而这样的人常被人公平地认为是优柔寡断、反应迟钝、没成就。毕竟，在我们身旁有很多人并不是成功的政治家、富有的企业家或诺贝尔奖的获得者，一如我们的父母和一些朋友。在我们的社会中，他们都算不上“伟人”。但是在我的心目中，就是这些人培养了我对他人的怜悯、热爱及仁爱心。我宁愿尊敬我身旁的这些“小人物”，而不是史书中吹捧的那些所谓品德高尚的“大人物”。

Young but Once

Many young girls like to copy grownups. They wear high-heels, paint their faces, and dress in tight clothes. They willingly let tight clothes suffocate their breathing, high-heels hinder their walking, and make-up mar their natural beauty. They believe that by assuming such burdens, they can be the equal of adults and consider peers who do not wish to behave in the same way as childish.

In fact, to be considered as a grown-up one requires more than just presenting a particular appearance, often attributes are needed, such as maturity of thought-which can only be seasoned by time.

Youth is indeed a very precious gift-and remember-we are only young once. While we still have youth with us, why should we restrict and limit our youth by attempting to be much older than we

really are?

Chances , once lost, may never come again-and youth definitely will not. Once youth is over, real life brings responsibilities, making our life less free and blissful as we are today. As our present tasks in life are light and our hearts are still full of youthful spirits and enthusiasm, we should enjoy and appreciate our youth to the full before it wither away.

珍惜青春

许多年轻的女孩子喜欢模仿大人。她们穿高跟鞋、化妆、穿紧身衣等等。她们愿意让紧身衣服使自己呼吸不畅，穿高跟鞋使自己行走艰难，用化妆品来毁坏自己天生的美丽。她们相信用这些东西可以让自己像成年人一样成熟，并且将那些不想这样打扮自己的同龄人视为“孩子气”。

事实上，要想被看作是成年人，一个人不仅要有成熟的外表，还需要有个人的品质，比如成熟的思想，而思想则只能靠时间来形成。

青春实际上是无价的礼物。要记住，每个人只能年轻一次。当我们还年轻的时候，我们为什么不尽情地享受青春，却想要把自己变得比实际年龄更大呢？

机不可失，青春亦然。一旦青春岁月过去了，现实的生活会让我们承担各种各样的责任，而我们的生活就不会再像今天这样自由与快乐。趁着我们现在的任务很轻松，年轻的心依然充满了青春的活力和热情，我们应该在它枯萎以前，尽情地享受并珍惜青春。
