第70章 智慧人生(17)

Well, I knew I had big lips. I didn"t know what bee-stung lips were.BBut she said it with such warmth and such kindness that I remember going home from church and staring at myself in the mirror, because Tish Hooker had said that I was pretty, and she was the first person that ever looked at me and had the courage to speak the words,“You are pretty.”

I"d never felt pretty. I knew I was smart, but this stranger, this woman who just came out of nowhere it seemed, was the first person to ever say it to me.And it made me see myself differently from that day forward, Tish Hooker saying,“You have such beautiful bee-stung lips,”and I"ve remembered that my whole life.You never know what kindness you offer today to someone, how that might live with them forever.CSo, if you can be generous enough to say kind, affirming words to those who may long to hear them, you will be a huge success.

AI was a little girl who didn"t think much of herself, but Tish Hooker walked right up to me, as if she knew I needed to hear what she had to say.

我是一个小女孩,并不看重自己,但迪斯·胡克经直朝我走来,好像她知道我需要听到她所说的话。

think much of 看重。例如:His teacher thinks much of him.他的老师十分看重他。

BBut she said it with such warmth and such kindness that I remember going home from church and staring at myself in the mirror, because Tish Hooker had said that I was pretty, and she was the first person that ever looked at me and had the courage to speak the words,“You are pretty.”

但是她说这句话的时候是那么温柔、和蔼,我还记着从教堂回家后一直盯着镜子看。因为迪斯·胡克说我漂亮,她是第一个看着我并有勇气说出“你很漂亮”的人。

本句是含有结果状语从句的复合句。主句是she said it……mirror。其中such……that为结果状语从句。because引导原因状语从句。

CSo, if you can be generous enough to say kind, affirming words to those who may long to hear them, you will be a huge success.

如果你们能够慷慨大方,多说些善意和赞美的话向那些渴望听到它们的人,你们一定会大有所为。

Iong to 渴望。例如:She longed to see her parents when she was abroad.出国时,她非常渴望见到她的父母。

In my career, I"ve had the great honor of meeting and conversing with many of the most accomplished men and women of my generation.They all had one thing in common.They were pursuing their individual visions with energy and enthusiasm.And they were enjoying the heck out of themselves.So follow your bliss, and you will have a rich, full life.Follow after money or power, you may lose it and have nothing.Or worse, you may get the money and power and still have nothing.

It"s like an executive I once knew who confided that he was not fulfilled. He said:“I climbed to the top of the ladder, and suddenly found my ladder was against the wrong wall.”AFind the wall that turns you on, and climb it.It"s that ******.

Now Joseph Campbell said something else about following your bliss that may sound contradictory. He said, and I quote:“BWhere you stumble, there lies your treasure.”Where you stumble, there lies your treasure—what on earth did he mean by that?Doesn"t that contradict following your bliss?I learned what he meant by that when we were establishing Quality as our Number One Priority at Ford.What we found is that to achieve quality in product, or by inference, in a life, you have to look enthusiastically for mistakes.

You might think of it like a space shuttle aimed for the moon. It isn"t a matter of taking aim and firing a straight shot.If these errors go uncorrected, they become more and more exaggerated, and you miss your window of opportunity.

So the faster you recognize, admit and correct your errors, the more precisely you can stay on target. Success is error driven.CWhere you stumble becomes your opportunity to make corrections, to learn and grow.

AFind the wall that turns you on, and climb it.

BWhere you stumble, there lies your treasure—what on earth did he mean by that?

你在哪跌倒,哪就埋着你的财宝。他到底想说什么?

on earth表示究竟,到底的意思。

CWhere you stumble becomes your opportunity to make corrections, to learn and grow.

你摔倒的地方就是你改正错误、学习和成长的地方。

句中where you stumble相当于the place where you stumble,是句子的主语。
