译文:成功之我见
“很久以前,有个国王,他的女儿貌美如花。老国王向所有来求婚的男士提出了三个任务作为挑战,而每一项任务都异常艰巨,
几乎不可能完成。一天,来了一位年轻英俊的王子”好了,下面的故事你们都知道了。三项任务在不同的版本中各不相同,但关键部分的情节都如出一辙:王子成功地过关,得到了公主的芳心。而故事的结局也都一样,最后一句都写道:“从此他们幸福地生活在一起。
为什么我们对如此美妙、如此不切实际,而我要说,如此缺乏想象力的东西这么乐此不疲呢这样的故事又如何能够经历几代人的重复我想,因为它是典型的成功的例子。故事的思想性很强,具有代表性。通过故事带给我们的启示,我们认识到了成功定义中的四个步骤;第一,目标的设定,有如故事里美丽的公主;第二,所遇到的困难和挑战,就像三大任务;第三,克服困难的过程,故事中青年经历重重难关可以作为象征;第四,就是成功的果实,如同幸福的婚姻。

人人都说上课发言需用勇气，谁说不是呢。今天老师说了只要没上过台的小组就要挨罚。我们组据差点挨罚了呢!
事情是这样的：我们今天有两节课，第一节课的气氛好不错，有许多小组都上台展示了，为了是这种浓厚的学习气氛更充分的在班内洋溢，老师就在下课的时候说每个小组必须上台，不然就有加罚。这可为难了我们组。
为了不能加罚我们是拼了命的练习，终于上课了。一上课老师就开始进行小组展示，第一个上的是王佩云他们组，说实话他们组展示的还真不错，加入了许多人物对话和动作。
当我们组要向他们组发起挑战时，老师居然没叫我们。接下来一连好几次都是这样。最后我们组生气了，老师让我们交流完第八段后，我们毅然的举起了手，老师叫我们了。我们太兴奋了，以至于兴奋的忘了词。轮到我们的时候我忘了怎莫说。还好因为周老师问大家是不是没准备好。大家说是，所以我们又准备了一会。
这一会为了证明我们是有勇气上台的，所以我们大声自信的说出了那句话，赢得了大家的掌声，还为小组加了一颗星，那一刻我太高兴了。
发言需要勇气，我就是我，是颜色不一样的烟火!

没有确切地想过，到底是从何时开始，就已经踏上了青春的道路，年少的时光不再，开始了另一番的思想与心境。更多地须臾长叹：细水长流终须止，天长地久有尽时，不再相信有什么东西是永垂不朽的。
可是，青春并不应该是这些的。
青春的代名词是澎湃的热血，是洋溢的热情，是努力的拼搏，是无尽的尝试。青春是经得起磨练但经不起消磨的，经得起开发却经不起挥霍。整日的萎靡不振，眼里看见的只是颓废，这些又有什么意义呢再多的抱怨，再多的不满，又能够改变什么呢只是会让自己觉得活的很累很沉重，然后再次的抱怨、不满，如此下去，恶性循环罢了。
其实，我们还年轻，有什么事情是不可能的!曾经那么多的梦想，正该乘着这大好的青春年华，去拼搏、去努力，给所有的梦想一次实现的机会。只要勇敢得向前，努力的付出，即使到最后没能够收获你想要的，过程中的经历也已经足够你去珍藏回忆的。
青春，只赋予你、我一生一次，盛年不重来，一日难再晨，及时当勉励，岁月不待人。最值得高度珍惜的莫过于每一天的价值，把握住今天把握住明天，迎来每天的第一缕阳光。青春时光无价，一刻千金。
或许，在这物欲横流，虚假繁荣的社会里，你想要的只是平平淡淡的生活，“与世无争，恬淡一生”，不想在反反复复中追寻，只做一个平凡的人。我们不能过于片面的去评价说这是对是错，但是平凡并不意味着平庸。我们可以平凡，但绝不可以平庸。
很多年以后，回想起曾经做的事、说过的话，总会觉得是那么的幼稚。年幼的无知，少年的白日梦，蹉跎的岁月中充斥着青春的点点滴滴。或许会悲伤，或许会难过。想说的是，不经历风雨，怎能看见彩虹;想说的是，再多的不舍、留恋也已经是沿途的风景;想说的是，无论是什么，都已经是过去的了，没有必要再去纠结哀伤。
终有一天我们将会进入成年,在青春的路上渐行渐远。但请不要悲伤,因为离开是为了更好的回忆。有人曾说过“人生就像一张有去无回的单程车票，没有彩排，每一场都是现场直播。把握好每次演出便是对人生最好的珍惜。”当我们再次回首往事时，可以很自豪地说：当我们年轻时，我们奋斗过，尽情燃烧过。可以无悔地面对自己，面对未来，不曾有过遗憾!
