i have a few candles stored in a drawer in my dining room. they’re meant for romantic dinners and special occasions, but since the arrival of our three children they have lain unnoticed among the napkins and other things. they are waiting to be taken out and lit to share their glow with anyone who will take the time to bask in their brilliance.

are not our souls like those candles, patiently waiting for someone to come and let us be ourselves? we are all waiting for our own moments to shine; we each have a special light, unmatched by any other.

candles are made up of wax and a wick; we have bodies, but our essence lies in our minds and souls. candles are unique in their colors, shapes and designs. our life histories and experiences are the backdrops of who we are, but our minds are like candle wicks, and make our passions flame. unlike the candles in my drawer, who get used or not used depending on my whims, we control our own thoughts, and how brightly we will burn or dimly we will shine.

is your soul candle dimmed by circumstance or lack of passion and direction? is it hidden in a drawer of stress, worry or resentment? make a choice to let yourself shine the way you were meant to shine.

在我餐厅的抽屉里放着几根蜡烛。它们会用于浪漫的晚餐和一些特殊的场合，但是自从我的三个孩子出生之后，它们便被遗忘在餐巾纸和其他杂物之间了。它们一直在等待着被拿出抽屉，被点亮，以和任何一个愿意花费时间去感受它们温暖的人分享那些光亮。

我们的灵魂不也像蜡烛么?耐心地等待有人来发掘我们，让我们发光发亮。我们一直等待着发光发亮的一刻;我们都有自己独特的光亮，是别人所不能匹及的。

蜡烛由蜡状物和蜡烛心组合而成;人类有肉体，而我们的本质却存在于精神和灵魂中。蜡烛有它们独一无二的颜色、形状和图案。我们生命的历史和经历是决定我们是谁的大背景，但是只有我们的心灵才是蜡烛心，使热情形成火焰。与在抽屉里等着别人一时的兴致来决定是否被点燃的蜡烛不同，我们可以决定自己的思想，决定自己能够发光发亮还是黯淡无光。

你心中的那支蜡烛是否因环境或者缺少激情，没有方向感而黯淡无光?它是否藏匿于压力、担忧和怨恨的抽屉里?做出选择吧，以自己注定的方式去发光。

today i am very glad to be here to share with you my ideas of success. what is success? it is what everyone is longing for.sometimes success would be rather simple. winning a game is success; getting a high grade in the exam is success; making a new friend is success; even now i am standing here giving my speech is somehow also success.

however, as a person's whole life is concerned, success becomes very complicated. is fortune success? is fame success? is high social status success? no, i donsquo;t think so. i believe success is the realization of people's hopes and ideals.nowadays, in the modern society there are many people who are regarded as the successful. and the most obvious characteristics of them are money, high position and luxurious life. so most people believe that s success and all that they do is for this purpose. but the problem is wether it is real success. we all know there are always more money, higher position and better condition in front of us. if we keep chasing them, where is the end? what will satisfy us at last? therefore, we can see, to get the real success we must need something inside, which is the realization of people's hopes and ideals.

different people have different ideas about success; cause people's hopes and ideas vary from one another. but i am sure every success is dear to everybody, cause it is not easy to come by, cause in the process of our striving for success, we got both our body and soul tempted, meanwhile we are enlightened by the most valuable qualities of human beings: love, patient, courage and sense of responsibility. these are the best treasures. so now i am very proud that i have this opportunity to stand here speaking to all of you. it is my success, cause i raise up to challenge my hope.

what is success? everyone has his own interpretation as i do. but i am sure every success leads to an ever-brighter future. so ladies and gentlemen, believe in our hopes, believe in ourselves, we, every one of us, can make a successful life!

wish you all good success!

it is not easy to think positive thoughts when the world around you appears to be so negative。 in fact，it can be as difficult as anything you’ve ever done。 however，it is absolutely possible to fill your mind with positive thoughts no matter what the environment is。 doing so makes you powerful like nothing else can。

to think positively is to alignyourselfwith1 the truth that you’re immersed2 in limitless，growing abundance。 to think positively is to pleasantly accept that your life is full of meaningful and unique achievements。

instead of placing a judgement on your situation，apply your most positive purposes to that situation。 instead of seeing the world as negative，see yourself as a powerful agent of the positive possibilities。

if you find yourself giving in to negativity，you are selling yourself short。 the moment you feel the slightest pain of a negative thought，stop and remind yourself how powerful you are。 do the intentional work of keeping your thoughts positive。 because whatever you always think is where your life will surely and steadily go。

当你周围的人或物都看似消极时，让你持有乐观思想并非是件容易的事。实际上，这和你做过的任何一件事一样难。然而，无论身处怎样的环境，用乐观的思想填充你的大脑是完全可能的。这样做会使你变得无比强大。

乐观地思考就是在证明一个事实――你的生活正处于日益丰盈的状态。乐观地思考也是在欣然理解一个事实――你的生活充满着意义深远、与众不一样的成就。

不要只顾着对你所处的形势作出评价，要把你的进取目标付诸于实际。不要只看到世界的消极一面，要看到自我能够创造进取可能性的强大力量。

如果你发现自我正向消极屈服，那么你就是在轻视自我。在你感受到消极思想所带来的一丝疼痛的那一刻，停下来吧，提醒自我你是多么强大。做一些有利于塑造进取思想的事情，因为你的思想正引领着你生活稳步前行的方向。

he values americans live by may seem strange to you. as a result, you might find their actions confusing, even unbelievable. this is my opinion about american value. whether you agree with me or not - or is willing to accept as valid any generalizations about americans - my observations are thought-provoking.

americans do not believe in the power of fate, and they look at people who do as being backward, primitive, or na-iv-e. in the american context, to be "fatalistic" is to be superstitious, lazy, or unwilling to take initiative. everyone should have control over whatever in the environment might potentially affect him or her. the problems of one's life are not seen as having resulted from bad luck as much as having come from one's lazineand unwillingneto take responsibility in pursuing a better life.

in the american mind, change is seen as indisputably good, leading to development, improvement, progress. many older, more traditional cultures consider change disruptive and destructive; they value stability, continuity, tradition, and ancient heritage - none of which are considered very important in the united states.

time is of utmost importance to most americans. it is something to be on, kept, filled, saved, used, spent, wasted, lost, gained, planned, given, even killed. americans are more concerned with getting things accomplished on time than they are with developing interpersonal relations. their lives seem controlled by the little machines they wear on their wrists, cutting their discussions off abruptly to make their next appointment on time. this philosophy has enabled americans to be extremely productive, and productivity is highly valued in their country.

equality is so cherished in the u.s. that it is seen as having a religious basis. americans believe that all people are created equal and that all should have an equal opportunity to succeed. this concept of equality is strange to seven-eighths of the world which views status and authority as desirable, even if they happen to be near the bottom of the social order. since americans like to treat foreigners "just like anybody else", newcomers to the u.s. should realize that no insult or personal indignity is intended if they are treated in a lethan-deferential manner by waiters in restaurants, clerks in stores and hotels, taxi drivers, and other service personnel.

americans view themselves as highly individualistic in their thoughts and actions. they resist being thought of as representatives of any homogeneous group. when they do join groups, they believe they are special. just a little different from other members of the same group. in the u.s. you will find people freely expressing a variety of opinions anywhere and anytime. yet, in spite of this independence, almost all americans end up voting for one of their two major political parties. individualism leads to privacy, which americans see as desirable. the word privacy does not exist in many non-western languages. if it does, it is likely to have a negative connotation, suggesting lonelineor forced isolation. it is not uncommon for americans to say, and almost to believe: "if i don't have half an hour a day to myself, i go stark-raving mad!"

americans take credit only for what they accomplish as individuals. they get no credit for having been born into a rich family but pride themselves in having climbed the ladder of success, to whatever level, all by themselves. in an english-language dictionary, there are more than 100 composite words that have the word "self" as a prefix: self-aware. self-confident, self-conscious, self-contented, self-control, self-criticism, self-deception, self-defeating, self-denial. the equivalent of these words cannot be found in most other languages. it is an indicator of how highly americans regard the self-made man or woman.
