in the matter of courage we all have our limits. there never was a hero who did not have his bounds. i suppose it may be said of nelson and all the others whose courage has been advertised that there came times in their lives when their bravery knew it had come to its limit.
i have found mine a good many times. sometimes this was expected--often it was unexpected. i know a man who is not afraid to sleep with a rattle-snake, but you could not get him to sleep with a safety-razor.
i never had the courage to talk across a long, narrow room. i should be at the end of the room facing all the audience. if i attempt to talk across a room i find myself turning this way and that, and thus at alternate periods i have part of the audience behind me. you ought never to have any part of the audience behind you; you never can tell what they are going to do.
i'll sit down.

在勇氣問題上,人人都有極限。從來就沒有膽大包天的英雄好漢。我想,可以說,納爾遜和所有那些被大量宣傳的勇士,一生中都有勇氣達(dá)到極限的時(shí)候。
我就多次發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的勇氣到了極限。有時(shí)是意料之中的——經(jīng)常是出乎意料的。我認(rèn)識一個(gè)人.此君不怕與響尾蛇同寢,可你無法讓他與保安剃刀共眠。
我從來就沒有勇氣在狹長房間的中央發(fā)表講話。我得站在房間的一頭,面對全體聽眾。如果我試圖站在房間中央講話,我就會不斷地轉(zhuǎn)身,這樣,就不斷有部分聽眾在我背后。你們永遠(yuǎn)不能讓自己背后有聽眾;你們永遠(yuǎn)鬧不清他們要干什么。
different people have different career outlooks. some people want to become civil servants; some people hope to start their own business; some people dream of being freelancers, and so on.
however, my ideal job is teaching. firstly, i’m told that teachers have a high income. with the high income, i can open a training school to help the children in poor families with their education. secondly, teachers always have summer and winter holidays, thus i will have more free time to relax myself. more importantly, teachers are angels to students, who can pass on the knowledge to students as well as help them develop their hobbies and interests. i can’t imagine how happy i will feel when i see my students become elites.
in order to be a qualified teacher, i should read more books to acquire more knowledge, and train my patience and improve my communication and handwriting abilities.
不同的人有著不同的職業(yè)愿景。有些人想要做公務(wù)員,有的人想自己創(chuàng)業(yè),有的人夢想成為自由職業(yè)者等等。
然而,我的理想是教書。首先,我被告知老師的工資很高。若有很高的工資,那我就能開個(gè)培訓(xùn)學(xué)校來幫助那些貧困家庭的孩子。第二,老師有著寒暑假兩個(gè)長假期,如此我將有時(shí)間放松。更重要的是,對學(xué)生來說老師就是天使,傳授孩子們知識幫助他們培養(yǎng)自己的興趣愛好。我無法想象如果我的學(xué)生都成為人才,我會多么的開心。
為了成為一名合格的老師,我會讀更多的'知識從中汲取更多知識,鍛煉自己的耐心,提高自己的交際能力并提高自己的書寫水平。
now i think at this point it's important for me to say that i actually love extroverts. i always like to say some of my best friends are extroverts, including my beloved husband. and we all fall at different points, of course, along the introvert/extrovert spectrum. even carl jung, the psychologist who first popularized these terms, said that there's no such thing as a pure introvert or a pure extrovert. he said that such a man would be in a lunatic asylum, if he existed at all. and some people fall smack in the middle of the introvert/extrovert spectrum, and we call these people ambiverts. and i often think that they have the best of all worlds. but many of us do recognize ourselves as one type or the other.
and what i'm saying is that culturally we need a much better balance. we need more of a yin and yang between these two types. this is especially important when it comes to creativity and to productivity, because when psychologists look at the lives of the most creative people, what they find are people who are very good at exchanging ideas and advancing ideas, but who also have a serious streak of introversion in them.
and this is because solitude is a crucial ingredient often to creativity. so darwin, he took long walks alone in the woods and emphatically turned down dinner party invitations. theodor geisel, better known as dr. seuss, he dreamed up many of his amazing creations in a lonely bell tower office that he had in the back of his house in la jolla, california. and he was actually afraid to meet the young children who read his books for fear that they were expecting him this kind of jolly santa claus-like figure and would be disappointed with his more reserved persona. steve wozniak invented the first apple computer sitting alone in his cubical in hewlett-packard where he was working at the time. and he says that he never would have become such an expert in the first place had he not been too introverted to leave the house when he was growing up.
now of course, this does not mean that we should all stop collaborating -- and case in point, is steve wozniak famously coming together with steve jobs to start apple computer -- but it does mean that solitude matters and that for some people it is the air that they breathe. and in fact, we have known for centuries about the transcendent power of solitude. it's only recently that we've strangely begun to forget it. if you look at most of the world's major religions, you will find seekers -- moses, jesus, buddha, muhammad -- seekers who are going off by themselves alone to the wilderness where they then have profound epiphanies and revelations that they then bring back to the rest of the community. so no wilderness, no revelations.
