胡敏教授感悟人生的名言(上)

1.一个人要想取得点成绩，你所从事的领域要么是别人做过的，你应想方设法比别人做得更好，要么是别人没有做过的，你必须重新开辟一个新的领域。

If you wish to achieve a certain degree of success, you must strive to excel others who are working in the field you have devoted yourself to. If nobody is working in that field, you must make an extra effort to open up new territory.

2.在机会面前有五种人，第一种人创造机会，第二种人寻找机会，第三种人等待机会，第四种人错过机会，第五种人漠视机会。我们如果做不了第一种人，至少也要主动去寻找机会。

When it comes to opportunity, there are five types of people. One type creates opportunity. The second seeks opportunity. The third waits for opportunity to come. The fourth fumbles opportunity. The fifth ignores opportunity. If you can't be the first type of person, then at least try to be like the second type, and actively seek opportunity.

3.在任何时候，我都要求自己不要作无原则的攀比。如果比的话，一个前提，学别人的优点和长项，而不是跟人比具体的财富和智慧。多数时候，我只跟自己作纵向的比较，自己的今天和昨天相比是否有所进步，而明天是否会超越今天，永远挑战自己，超越自己。

I always make sure that I do not heedlessly compare myself with something beyond my reach. If I do make such a comparison, I make sure that I study that person?s advantages and strong points, and not compare my situation with that person?s overall talents and wisdom. Most of the time, I simply compare my own course of development: Have I made progress today compared with yesterday, and will I do better tomorrow than today? In this way, I continually challenge myself and surpass myself.

4.凭真诚与勤奋赢得尊重，用激情与理性打造未来

Rely on sincerity and diligence to win respect.

Use passion and rationality to forge the future.

5.成功的人生如同登高，一步一步地拾级而上，这中间会有一个个关键的转折点。每当我们走了一段路碰壁了，这一个个转折点又把我们带上了一段段崭新的道路。有时候，转折点就存在于不经意的瞬间，而更多的时候，需要我们付出巨大的努力，人生轨迹才会出现转折。

Success in life is like climbing a height: It has to be done step by step. In the course of this there are certain crucial turning points. Every time we encounter a wall while walking along a stretch of road, we turn into a brand?new stretch of road. Sometimes, a turning point can appear out of nowhere, but most of the time in our lives turning points are only reached as the result of a great deal of hard work.

6.只要不因为失败而从此消沉，失败并不可怕。相反，年轻时的失败和挫折是一笔宝贵的财富，有了它，我们会深刻地体会到成功之路的崎岖坎坷，真正地考验自己持之以恒的毅力，更重要的是从中汲取继续奋斗的巨大动力。忍受失败是重新振作的力量源泉。

So long as we are not discouraged by setbacks, setbacks are not to be feared. On the contrary, setbacks and failures in one?s young days are valuable treasures. We can understand how full of twists and turns the road to success is, and truly test our perseverance and determination. But even more important is that you will be able to draw on a gigantic driving force enabling you to struggle continuously. Being able to bear up under defeat is the source of the renewal of vigor and strength.

9.只有有危机意识的人才能生存、发展和壮大。

Only a person with a sense of crisis can survive, develop and grow sturdy.

7. 猴子原则：猴子喜欢吃香蕉。第一个人走过来，扛了两袋世界上最好的苹果和桔子，猴子大怒，喝道：“你给我滚！”第二个人过来了，带了两袋世界上最好的苹果，最好的桔子以及最好的香蕉，猴子在袋子里翻了半天，看到的都是苹果和桔子，正准备发火，终于在袋子底下看到了香蕉，也就不发怒了，但是它对第二个人没有任何感激之情。第三个人来了，一边唱，一边跳，两只手里各拿着一支还没有熟透的小香蕉，猴子一看，特别高兴，扑过去迎接他的到来。猴子需要什么，你就给它什么。

The Monkey Principle: There was a monkey who liked to eat bananas. The first person who passed by was carrying a bag of the best apples in the world and a bag of the best oranges in the world. Enraged, the monkey screamed, “Get out of here!” The second person who passed by was also carrying a bag of the best apples in the world and a bag of the best oranges in the world. But the bags also contained the best bananas in the world. The monkey searched the bags, and when he could find nothing but apples and oranges, was about to lose his temper, when he suddenly discovered the bananas at the bottom of the bags. So he didn?t get angry, but he did not regard the second man with any friendliness. A third man passed by, singing and cavorting. In each hand he held a small, unripe banana. When the monkey saw the bananas he was delighted, and ran gleefully to welcome the third man. Don?t give the monkey what he doesn?t like.

8.我们每个人都有缺点和优点，我们千万不能用放大镜看别人的缺点，而应该拿放大镜看别人的优点。

Each one of us has shortcomings and merits. We should never use a magnifying glass to look at other people?s faults; instead we should use a magnifying glass to view their strong points.
