励志英语文章： Six Way to Turn Desires into Gold

　　励志英语文章： Six Way to Turn Desires into Gold

　　The method by which desire for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps, these:

　　First: fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter.)

　　Second: determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.")

　　Third: establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

　　Forth: create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are read or not, to put this plan into action.

　　Fifth: write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

　　Sixth: read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read--see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

　　It is important that you follow the instructions described in these six steps. It is especially important that you observe, and follow the instructions in the sixth paragraph. You may complain that it is impossible for you to "see yourself in possession of money" before you actually have it. Here is where a burning desire will come to you aid. If you truly desire money so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it. The object is to want money, and to become so determined to have it that you convince yourself you will have it.

　　化渴望为财富的六大步骤

　　化渴望为财富的方法，包含了如下的六大实际步骤：

　　第一：牢记你所渴望金钱的“确切”数目。光是说：“我要很多钱。”这样子是不够的。对其额度要非常肯定。(确定性之必要，有其心理学上的缘由，随后的章节会加以说明。)

　　第二：决定一下，你要“付出”什么以求报偿。(天底下是没有“不劳而获”这种事的。

　　第三：设定你想“拥有”所渴望金钱的确切日期。

　　第四：草拟实现渴望的确切计划，并且“立即”行动，不论你准备妥当与否，都要将计划付诸实施。

　　第五：简单明了地写下你想获得的金钱数目，及获得这笔 钱的时限。说明你打算凭什么去取得这笔钱，并详加描述你累 聚这笔钱的计划。

　　第六：一天朗诵两遍你写好的告白，早晨起床时念一遍，晚上睡觉前念一遍。念的时候，要有如亲见目睹一般，实际体会真正拥有这笔钱时的感觉。

　　遵行这六大步骤的指示是非常重要的。你有必要切实遵照这六个段落的指示，并奉行不渝。你可能会嘀咕，你又没有真正拥有这笔钱，要“目睹自己实际拥有这笔钱，” 似乎不太可能。这就该是沸腾的渴望派上用场的时刻了。如果你真的热切 渴望要有钱，你的渴望会变成魂牵梦萦的迫切企求，要让自己 有如置身其境也就易如反掌了。你的目标就是想要有钱，并且要坚定不移，坚定到你相信自己会拥有这笔钱的地步。

　　一篇励志英语文章：Hanover Square (追忆似水年华)

　　Can it really be sixty-two years ago that I first saw you?

　　It is truly a lifetime, I know. But as I gaze into your eyes now, it seems like only yesterday that I first saw you, in that small café in Hanover Square.

　　From the moment I saw you smile, as you opened the door for that young mother and her newborn baby. I knew. I knew that I wanted to share the rest of my life with you.

　　I still think of how foolish I must have looked, as I gazed at you, that first time. I remember watching you intently, as you took off your hat and loosely shook your short dark hair with your fingers. I felt myself becoming immersed in your every detail, as you placed your hat on the table and cupped your hands around the hot cup of tea, gently blowing the steam away with your pouted lips.

　　From that moment, everything seemed to make perfect sense to me. The people in the café and the busy street outside all disappeared into a hazy blur. All I could see was you.

　　All through my life I have relived that very first day. Many, many times I have sat and thought about that the first day, and how for a few fleeting moments I am there, feeling again what is like to know true love for the very first time. It pleases me that I can still have those feelings now after all those years, and I know I will always have them to comfort me.

　　Not even as I shook and trembled uncontrollably in the trenches, did I forget your face. I would sit huddled into the wet mud, terrified, as the hails of bullets and mortars crashed down around me. I would clutch my rifle tightly to my heart, and think again of that very first day we met. I would cry out in fear, as the noise of war beat down around me. But, as I thought of you and saw you smiling back at me, everything around me would be become silent, and I would be with you again for a few precious moments, far from the death and destruction. It would not be until I opened my eyes once again, that I would see and hear the carnage of the war around me.

　　I cannot tell you how strong my love for you was back then, when I returned to you on leave in the September, feeling battered, bruised and fragile. We held each other so tight I thought we would burst. I asked you to marry me the very same day and I whooped with joy when you looked deep into my eyes and said "yes" to being my bride.

　　I'm looking at our wedding photo now, the one on our dressing table, next to your jewellery box. I think of how young and innocent we were back then. I remember being on the church steps grinning like a Cheshire cat, when you said how dashing and handsome I looked in my uniform. The photo is old and faded now, but when I look at it, I only see the bright vibrant colors of our youth. I can still remember every detail of the pretty wedding dress your mother made for you, with its fine delicate lace and pretty pearls. If I concentrate hard enough, I can smell the sweetness of your wedding bouquet as you held it so proudly for everyone to see.

　　I remember being so over enjoyed, when a year later, you gently held my hand to your waist and whispered in my ear that we were going to be a family.

　　I know both our children love you dearly; they are outside the door now, waiting.

　　Do you remember how I panicked like a mad man when Jonathon was born? I can still picture you laughing and smiling at me now, as I clumsily held him for the very first time in my arms. I watched as your laughter faded into tears, as I stared at him and cried my own tears of joy.

　　Sarah and Tom arrived this morning with little Tessie. Can you remember how we both hugged each other tightly when we saw our tiny granddaughter for the first time? I can't believe she will be eight next month. I am trying not to cry, my love, as I tell you how beautiful she looks today in her pretty dress and red shiny shoes, she reminds me so much of you that first day we met. She has her hair cut short now, just like yours was all those years ago. When I met her at the door her smile wrapped around me like a warm glove, just like yours used to do, my darling.

　　I know you are tired, my dear, and I must let you go. But I love you so much it hurts to do so.

　　As we grew old together, I would tease you that you had not changed since we first met. But it is true, my darling. I do not see the wrinkles and grey hair that other people see. When I look at you now, I only see your sweet tender lips and youthful sparkling eyes as we sat and had our first picnic next to that small stream, and chased each other around that big old oak tree. I remember wishing those first few days together would last forever. Do you remember how exciting and wonderful those days were?

　　I must go now, my darling. Our children are waiting outside. They want to say goodbye to you.

　　I wipe the tears away from my eyes and bend my frail old legs down to the floor, so that I can kneel beside you. I lean close to you and take hold of your hand and kiss your tender lips for the very last time.

　　Sleep peacefully my dear.

　　I am sad that you had to leave me, but please don't worry. I am content, knowing I will be with you soon. I am too old and too empty now to live much longer without you.

　　I know it won't be long before we meet again in that small café in Hanover Square.

　　Goodbye, my darling wife.
