Where there is a will, there is a way.有志者事竟成。接下来分享初中英语励志美文短篇,供参考。
I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.
I will never consider defeat and I will remove from my vocabulary such words and phrases as quit, cannot, unable, impossible, out of the question, improbable, failure, unworkable, hopeless, and retreat; for they are the words of fools. I will avoid despair but if this disease of the mind should infect me then I will work on in despair. I will toil and I will endure. I will ignore the obstacles at my feet and keep mine eyes on the goals above my head, for I know that where dry desert ends, green grass grows.
I will remember the ancient law of averages and I will bend it to my good. I will persist with knowledge that each failure to sell will increase my chance for success at the next attempt. Each nay I hear will bring me closer to the sound of yea. Each frown I meet only prepares me for the smile to come. Each misfortune I encounter will carry in it the seed of tomorrow's good luck. I must have the night to appreciate the day. I must fail often to succeed only once.

Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what's next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

at every turn we come across its mystery. at each new level we become more of the person we were meant to become. in lonely times, when we pass through a storm of disappointment, we find our faith is unshaken, our strength still strong.
believe in your faith. set the vision before your eyes. write down your most sincere dreams and when the opportunity comes, step into your dream. it may take one season or more, but the result is the same. make big dreams and then go out and make them realities. the highest hopes of the dreamer are revealed with every step taken in their journey to the impossible. for a season we must protect the dream so that it can grow quietly on the inside. but if we tenderly care for our deepest expectations, slowly but surely the dream will become new life.
dreaming is an act of faith. the light of your expectations will cast off the shadows of a disbelieving world. god has given us the dreamer as a gift to light an unbelieving world.
find your treasure within and cherish2 it. tomorrow is waiting for you to take the first step.
