The Power of Persistence 

坚持的力量

英文原文

Persistence matters more than talent in most cases. Many people give up halfway because they meet difficulties and feel upset. Talent can give you a quick start, but only persistence can carry you to the final success. We may fail many times on the way to our goals. Instead of complaining about hard situations, we should adjust ourselves and keep moving forward. Every small effort we make will finally pay off.

中文译文

在大多数情况下，坚持比天赋更加重要。很多人因为遭遇困境、心生沮丧而半途放弃。天赋可以让你起步更快，但唯有坚持才能带你走向最终的成功。在奔赴目标的路上，我们可能会经历多次失败。与其抱怨处境艰难，不如调整自我、继续前行。我们付出的每一份微小努力，终有回报。

• persistence n. 坚持，毅力

The Gift of Failure 

失败的馈赠

英文原文

Failure is never something we should fear. It offers us a chance to look back and find our weaknesses. If we regard failure as our enemy, we will lose many chances to improve ourselves. If we learn to accept it wisely, we can draw valuable lessons from it. Top learners do not avoid mistakes. They check what went wrong and try new ways to make progress.

中文译文

失败从来不是我们该惧怕的东西。它给我们机会复盘，找到自身的短板。如果把失败当成敌人，我们会失去很多自我提升的机会；如果学会理性接纳失败，我们就能从中汲取宝贵经验。优秀的学习者不会回避错误，他们会找出问题所在，尝试新方法以求进步。

Learn to Listen 

学会倾听

Good communication is not only about speaking well, but also about listening carefully. When others share their ideas or feelings, listening shows our respect.

Listening is a simple skill that makes us popular.

中文译文

良好的沟通不只在于善于表达，更在于用心倾听。当别人分享想法与感受时，倾听代表着尊重。很多矛盾的产生，仅仅是因为人们急于表达自己，不愿听完别人的话。如果我们学会耐心倾听，就能更好地理解他人，建立更融洽的关系。倾听是一项简单的能力，能让我们收获好人缘。

The Beauty of Silence

Many people believe fun only lies in noisy activities. They avoid silence and fill every minute with sounds. Actually, silence is not boring.

It does not mean loneliness; it is a chance for self-reflection.

中文译文

很多人认为乐趣只藏在热闹的活动里，他们回避安静，让每一分钟都充满声响。事实上安静并不乏味。在静谧时刻，我们梳理思绪、读懂内心、理清想法。安静给我们空间更好地认识自己。安静不等于孤独，它是自我反思的契机。
