15、nse to show the changes.Thank You读一本好书，就是和许多高尚的人谈话读书时，我愿在每一个美好思想的面前停留，就像在每一条真理面前停留一样。书籍是在时代的波涛中航行的思想之船，它小心翼翼地把珍贵的货物运送给一代又一代。好的书籍是最贵重的珍宝是唯一不死的东西。书籍使人们成为宇宙的主人。书中横卧着整个过去的灵书不仅是生活，而且是现在、过去和未来文化生活的源泉。书籍把我们引入最美好的社会，使我们认识各个时代的伟大智者。书籍便是这种改造灵魂的工具。人类所需要的，是富有启发性的养料。而阅读，则正是这种养料。不敢妄为些子事，只因曾读数行书。只是对于一件事情很长时间很热心地去考

16、虑罢了。只要愿意学习，就一定能够学会一个爱书的人，他必定不致缺少一个忠实的朋友一个良好的导师一个可爱的伴侣一个优婉的安慰者。读书当将破万卷；求知不叫一疑存。读书如吃饭，善吃者长精神，不善吃者长疾瘤。读书不趁早，后来徒悔懊。 读书是易事，思索是难事，但两者缺一，便全无用处。 读书何所求?将以通事理。伟大的成绩和辛勤劳动是成正比例的，有一分劳动就有一分收获，日积月累，从少到多，奇迹就可以创造出来。敏而好学，不耻下问。不学，则不明古道，而能政治太平者未之有也。 若不抽出时间来创造自己想要的生活，你最终将不得不花费大量的时间来应付自己不想要的生活。社会上要想分出层次，只有一个办法，那就是竞争，你必须努

17、力，否则结局就是被压在社会的底层。身后还有那么多期许的目光，怎么可以轻易放弃。什么叫做失败？失败是到达较佳境地的第一步。什么时候也不要放弃希望，越是险恶的环境越要燃起希望的意志。生活呆以是甜的，也可以是苦的，但不能是没味的。你可以胜利，也可以失败，但你不能屈服。 人生四然：来是偶然，去是必然，尽其当然，顺其自然。人生舞台的大幕随时都可能拉开，关键是你愿意表演，还是选择躲避。人生最精彩的不是实现梦想的一瞬间，而是坚持梦想的过程。人与人之间的差距，是天生就这么大，还是因为不能狠下心来逼自己日出东海落西山，愁也一天，喜也一天；遇事不钻牛角尖，人也舒坦，心也舒坦。如果你坚信自己最优秀，那么你就最聪明。

18、如果你真心选择去做一件事，那么全世界都是帮助你的。头脑是日用品，而不是装饰品。我要的未来，要靠我自己去拼。想成功就要和成功者的思想、脚步和时间重叠。想干的人永远在找方法，不想干的人永远在找理由。要感谢痛苦与挫折，它是我们的功课，我们要从中训练，然后突破，这样才能真正解脱。要纠正别人之前，先反省自己有没有犯错。也许终点只有绝望和失败，但这绝不是停止前行的理由。一个人的快乐，不是因为他拥有的多，而是因为他计较的少。一个人只有亲眼看到自己伤疤的时候才知道什么是痛，什么是对与错。一个一味沉溺于往事的人，是不能张开双臂去拥抱今天的。一切事无法追求完美，唯有追求尽力而为。这样心无压力，出来的结果反而会更好

19、有人说，世界上最美的是梦，最长的是路；最易做的是梦，最难走的是路。愿你像那石灰，别人越是浇你冷水，你越是沸腾。真正懂得微笑的人，总是容易获得比别人更多的机会。如果缺少破土面出并与风雪拼搏的勇气，种子的前途并不比落叶美妙一分。生活会辜负努力的人，但不会一直辜负努力的人。失败的历程也是成功的历程。时间会告诉你一切真相。有些事情，要等到你渐渐清醒了，才明白它是个错误；有些东西，要等到你真正放下了，才知道它的沉重。实现自己既定的目标，必须能耐得住寂寞单干。输在犹豫，赢在行动。树苗如果因为怕痛而拒绝修剪，那就永远不会成材。13.在我们的生活中，如果没有了书籍，就好像小鸟在天空中飞翔时断了翅膀一样，永远不能前进。战士的意志要象礁石一样坚定，战士的性格要像和风一样温柔。站起来的次数能够比跌倒的次数多一次，你就是强者。真正的爱，应该超越生命的长度、心灵的宽度、灵魂的深度。真正的强者不是没有眼泪的人，而是含着眼泪奔跑的人。只会幻想而不行动的人，永远也体会不到收获果实时的喜悦。志坚智达言信行果，失败的尽头是成功努力的终点是辉煌。志在峰巅的攀登者，不会陶醉在沿途的某个脚印之中竹根即使被埋在地下无人得见，也决然不会停止探索而力争冒出新笋。总要有一个人要赢，为什么不能是我。最坚固的捆绑是习惯。最可怕的不是有人比你优秀，而是比你优秀的人还比你更努力。最有希望的成功者，并不是才干
