美文欣賞：雙語美文：傾聽與責任，是人生重要一課
1. Take accountability for your mistakes. If you find yourself blaming others, look for your part and take ownership.
2. Sometimes life puts you through circumstances that show you who's really there for you. Focus on the ones who are there and who love and support you, rather than the ones that aren't, or can't be.
3. Listening is so much more important than talking. You already know what you know when you open your mouth. When you open your ears that’s when true learning takes place.
4. Our energy is one of our greatest resources, so it's important to be careful who surrounds us. It's okay to close the door on negativity. You'll soon see how this preserves your positive energy.
5. Travel makes you richer - even if it's not far from home. Opening your eyes to the world and all the wonders in it will enrich the quality of your life.
6. The older we get, the faster time goes: the only way to slow it down is to be grateful for each moment.
7. Be patient with the world around you, give others the benefit of the doubt, for you are the one who suffers most when you're irritated.
8. Comparing yourself to others is the fastest way to put limitations on your potential. Stick with competing with the person you were yesterday.
9. It is inevitable that bad things will happen, to you or to someone equally undeserving of pain. These moments are meant to measure our reactions to the event, and that's where you'll see how strength is truly defined.
10. Support your friends dreams and encourage them whenever you can. An added benefit is that you'll be happy to be surrounded by people who love their lives.
11. If you want things to change, start by changing yourself.
12. If you genuinely don't want to do something or go somewhere, be honest. No one wants to spend time with you when you wish you were somewhere else.
13. Follow your dreams. Don't be afraid of them...or what other people think of them. Give it all you've got and you can never fail.
14. Tell people your dreams, as often as they are willing to listen. Goals become more tangible when we say them aloud.
15. Align yourself with like-minded people, people who motivate and inspire you, and those that make you feel genuinely happy when they are around. Treat them with love and respect.
16. Be a role model: let your actions and your words be unified. Be someone you'd look up to.
曾經有一位偉大的蘇菲派（伊斯蘭神秘主義派別的總稱）聖人。在他生命快結束時，有人讓他說說他的老師。聖人說：“既然你問了，我就給你講講我的三位老師。”
這三個人中有一個是小偷。
曾經有一次我在沙漠中迷路了，后來我找到一條路，走到村子時已經很晚了。所有店門都關了，外面一個人都沒有。最后我發現有一個人正在牆上挖洞，我問他我能否找到一個歇腳的地方，他說這麼晚了很難找到待的地方，但如果我願意和小偷待在一起的話我可以和他一起。然后我和他一起待了一個月。
每天晚上他都跟我說：“我要去工作了，你可以休息祈禱。”他回來時我會問他：“你今天有收獲嗎？”他回答說：“今晚沒有收獲，但明天我會再試試，上天保佑。”甚至在每天都很失望的時候，他也從未失去希望，總是很開心。
我冥想好多年仍沒進展時，有好多次我都很絕望，看不到一絲希望，我想過要放棄所有，但我會突然想起那個小偷的話：“上天保佑，明天夢想就能實現。”
第二位老師是一只狗
有一次我沿著河邊走，看見一只狗很渴。每次這只狗看向水里想要喝水時，它都會看見自己的倒影，很害怕。看著自己的倒影狗就叫著跑開。但它實在太渴了，還得回來。這樣重復了好多次，但最終雖然仍然恐懼，但它跳進了河里。
看到這些，我知道了這是上帝的暗示，意思是一個人要戰勝所有恐懼勇往直前。
第三位老師是一個小男孩
我走進一個小鎮時看到一個小孩儿手里拿著一支點燃的蠟燭。我問他：“這支蠟燭是你自己點的嗎？”他說：“是的，先生。”我說：“有時蠟燭不亮，有時卻亮，你能告訴我光亮是從哪里來的嗎？”小男孩笑著把蠟燭吹滅了，說：“你看見光亮消失了吧？你能告訴我它去哪儿了嗎？”
小男孩繼續說道：“好吧，我告訴你它回到了來的地方。”我的自負蕩然無存，那時我想自己多愚蠢啊。從那時起，我放下了自己所有的小聰明。
我沒有老師，但這不代表我沒有在學習。我把整個宇宙、所有存在都視為自己的老師。
道理：在這個世界上，有很多東西值得學習，你可以從很多事情上學到東西。你要找到自己的老師，學會如何去學習。
