很多年以前我在逛书店时无意发现一张书签上的这首诗,从此它就一直在艰难的时刻陪伴着我。希望它也能给你一些动力。
Don't Quit
Author Unknown
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road your trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and its turns,
As everyone of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about
When they might have won, had they stuck it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up
When he might have captured the victors cup;
And he learned too late when the night came down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when your hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit!
没能找到中文译文,所以自己瞎翻一下
不要放弃!
当事情变糟,就像常常会发生的那样
当你在路上艰难跋涉,似乎永远都是上坡
当你手头拮据,却又债台高筑
当你想微笑,但却不得不叹气
当压力似乎让你直不起腰来——
歇息一下,如果你必须,但是请你不要放弃。
生活以它的迂回曲折恶作剧着
就像我们每一个都不时领教过的
许多失败会突然出现
在你似乎会成功的时候,伸出他们的荆棘
不要放弃,就算你的速度非常之慢
成功也许就在你下一次的努力中。
许多时候,奋斗者中途放弃
就在他即将握住胜利之杯的时候;
当夜幕降临,意识到这一点已为时过晚
他曾经是如此接近这荣耀的金冠
成功就躲在失败的里面
它是疑虑的乌云周围的银边
你永远没法判断你离它有多近
它也许就在你身边却装得遥不可及;
所以,坚持战斗吧,就算你被最重地打击
恰恰是当一切陷入谷底的时刻,你最不能放弃!
