六、THE VALUE OF TIME
  　　  Katharine Sun
  　　 
  　　 
  　　  To realize the value of one year:
  　　  Ask a student who has failed a final exam.
  　　  To realize the value of one month:
  　　  Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby.
  　　  To realize the value of one week:
  　　  Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper.
  　　  To realize the value of one hour:
  　　  Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
  　　  To realize the value of one minute:
  　　  Ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane.
  　　  To realize the value of one second:
  　　  Ask a person who has survived an accident.
  　　  To realaize the value of one millisecond:
  　　  Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics.
  　　  Time waits for no one.
  　　  Treasure every moment you have.

    　　    七、TODAY IS A NEW DAY
    　　    Donna Levine
    　　   
    　　   
    　　    Your tomorrows are as bright
    　　    as you want to make them.
    　　    There is no reason to carry
    　　    the darkness of the past
    　　    with you into today.
    　　    Today is a wonderful new experience，
    　　    full of every possibility to make
    　　    your life exactly what you want it to be.
    　　    Today is the beginning of new happiness,
    　　    new directions and new relationships.
    　　    Today is the day to remind yourself
    　　    that you posses the power
    　　    and strength you need
    　　    to bring contentment, love and joy into your life.
    　　    Today is the day to understand yourself
    　　    and to give yourself the love
    　　    and the patience that you need.
    　　    Today is the day to move forward
    　　    towards your bright tomorrow.
　　        

    　　    八、DREAMS
    　　    Langston Hughes
    　　   
    　　   
    　　    Hold fast to dreams
    　　    For if dreams die
    　　    Life is a broken?winged bird
    　　    That cannot fly.
    　　   
    　　    Hold fast to dreams
    　　    For when dreams go
    　　    Life is a barren field
    　　    Frozen with snow.
    　　
   
    　　    九、THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
    　　    Robert Frost
    　　   
    　　   
    　　    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
    　　    And sorry I could not travel both
    　　    And be one traveler, long I stood
    　　    And looked down one as far as I could
    　　    To where it bent in the undergrowth;
    　　   
    　　    Then took the other, as just as fair,
    　　    And having perhaps the better claim,
    　　    Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
    　　    Though as for that the passing there
    　　    Had worn them really about the same,
    　　   
    　　    And both that morning equally lay
    　　    In leaves no step had trodden black.
    　　    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    　　    Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
    　　    I doubted if I should ever come back.
    　　   
    　　    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    　　    Somewhere ages and ages hence:
    　　    Two roads diverged in a wood, and I?
    　　    I took the one less traveled by,
    　　    And that has made all the difference.   
　　    
　　
       十、WHAT IS SUCCESS
　　Ralph Waldo Emerson
　　
　　
　　What is success?
　　To laugh often and love much;
　　To win the respect of intelligent people
　　And the affection of children;
　　To earn the approbation of honest critics
　　And endure the betrayal of false friends;
　　To appreciate beauty;
　　To find the best in others;
　　To give one?s self;
　　To leave the world a little better,
　　Whether by a healthy child,
　　A garden patch,
　　Or a redeemed social condition;
　　To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
　　And sung with exultation;
　　To know even one life has breathed easier，
　　Because you have lived...
　　This is to have succeeded.
