关于人生的英文美文1

It took me being observant and honest to see I didn’t belong. It took
studying the aesthetics in photos taken by my friends and knowing something
wasn’t quite right. It’s a lack of pride you know would be there if you were
just prettier, or sexier. It’s that you simply know that no matter what you do,
sans literal plastic surgery, you will never belong to a certain club.

But here is where I throw you a curve ball: my being unattractive hasn’t
stopped me from living the other side’s life. Most people never figure out how
to navigate this world I live in. I will just tell you I rejected the rules of
the beautiful, and learned how to make them work for me.

I decided I would shoot out of my league. I made friends and dated people I
shouldn’t be allowed to date. I stepped over the line. I surrounded myself with
individuals who are more educated, prettier or smarter than me, even in the face
of people saying, quite literally, “they are out of your league.”

I may not technically be the smartest or most beautiful person, but I run
with those who are. I become by association, even a touch of such, even at a
lower rank – beautiful. I buck the system.

To do so, yes, means you may be painfully aware of what you are and will
never be. You will be defined by what you have the nerve to aim at being. In
doing so, you will challenge and question what smart is. You will not be
generic, or predictable. Attractive is only what we define it to be. Don’t
pigeonhole yourself so quickly. Live the life you want to live – even if you
didn’t win the genetic lottery.

When I was seven years old, I would put my school book bag on both my
shoulders and had it sit plumb in the middle of my back, as backpacks were made
to do.

One morning, when it was so frigid outside you could barely muster getting
out of bed, my older brother joined me at the bus stop, and told me I was
wearing my backpack wrong. He grabbed it, tossed it over my right shoulder with
both straps on the same side and said, “There, that’s better.”

Then he said, “You’re not pretty, so you have to try harder. OK?”

I stayed smiling because even at a young age, I understood the importance
of pretending to not have emotions. In my household, it was a matter of
survival. But what he said crushed me.

Soon thereafter, I started picking up on the signs one receives when they
aren’t attractive. This was made more complicated because I had a lot of friends
and people who, for the most part, liked me. I was good at sports. I had various
musical talents and up until life completely fell apart at home, I was a good
student. I was also a fighter so people didn’t dare make fun of me overtly, at
least before growth spurts kicked in and the playing field was still even.

Mostly, I paid for not being conventionally attractive by being ignored or
not included in “moments” – the many moments attractive people experience.

Many times, I walked into a room with all of my friends and witnessed them
receiving compliments – everyone except me. It’s not that people look at you
say, “My god, you’re incredibly ugly. Tell me, how do you not kill yourself?”
It’s how you can stand next to an attractive person and the people around you,
even the unattractive ones themselves, will say, “Wow, your friend is pretty.
Look at her, have you ever seen a girl so pretty?”

“Joe, did you book your ticket yet?” I asked.

“No. I changed my mind. I’m not going to go.”

“What? You aren’t going to Australia? We’ve been planning this vacation for
months!”

“Yeah, I don’t feel like it. We’ll go some other time.”

Over the coming weeks, I attempted to get my friend to reconsider, but to
no avail. When Joe changed his mind, he changed his mind. Our trip to Australia
– our big post-college adventure – was off. And none of my friends wanted to
replace him. If I wanted to travel, it would have to be on my own.

It’s a pattern that has repeated itself over the years. While a few people
have joined me along the way. But when it comes down to the wire, something
always comes up, they’re suddenly too busy, or they get cold feet and change
their mind.

It’s taught me that if I wait for others, I’ll never go anywhere.

But there are places I want to go, people to see, experiences to have, and
food to try — and only so much time to accomplish it all.

So I refuse to wait – I won’t let others keep me from realizing my
dreams.

It can bescary traveling alone – especially when you’ve never done it
before. But, to me, growing old without experiencing everything you want from
life is scarier.

If you’ve been putting off a trip because you’re waiting for someone to go
with – stop. Just go. Don’t let others hold you back from your dreams. Trust me,
along the way you’ll make plenty of friends – from other solo travelers who
thought “Screw it, if I don’t go, I’ll never go” to locals interested in meeting
new people. You’re never alone when you travel.

More than that, solo travel gives you ultimate freedom. You wake up and
it’s just you – what you want, where you want, when you want. In that freedom
and infinite space of possibility, you meet yourself. You hit the limits of what
you like and don’t like. There’s no one to pull you in any one direction or
override your reasons. Want sushi? Get sushi. Want to leave? Leave. Want to try
bungee jumping? Go for it.

It’s sink or swim and you have to learn how to survive – who to trust, how
to make friends, how to find your way around alone. That’s the greatest reward
of solo travel – the personal growth. Each time you go away, you learn to become
a little more independent, confident, and in tune with your emotions and
desires.

Solo travel is not for everyone. Some people return home soon after
departing, others cry for weeks before embracing it, and some just embrace it
right away. But you’ll never learn that if you don’t travel once by yourself.
Whether a weekend away, a two-week vacation or trip around the world, try it at
least once.

Don’t wait for people or hold back from living your dreams. You could be
waiting a long time until someone finally says “yes.” There’s only now and if
you don’t go, you’ll regret it.

Because if I hadn’t stopped waiting, I’d still be in my cubicle, trying to
convince Joe to go to Australia, and wondering if I’d ever get to see the
world.

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer (contractor)
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 contractor 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 usedinferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end
his career.

When the carpenter finished his work and the builder came to inspect the
house, the contractor 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 withdignity. The plaque on the wall says,
"Life is a do-it-yourself project."

Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your
attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your
attitudes and the choices you make today.

Once upon a time a psychology professor walked around on a stage while
teaching stress management principles to an auditorium filled with students.

As she raised a glass of water, with a smile on her face, the professor
asked, “How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?”

Students shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple
pounds.

She replied, “From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass
doesn’t matter. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the
longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.”

As the class shook their heads in agreement, she continued, “Your stresses
and worries in life are very much like this glass of water.”

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses and worries. No
matter what happens during the day, as early inthe evening as you can, put all
your burdens down.
