初中英语优秀作文范例：值得思考的事情
Something worth thinking aboutHow many times have you heard the expression that most people spend more
time planning their vacation than they do planning their lives. I would expand
that expression by adding that most people spend more time "thinking" about
their vacation than they do thinking about what's important in their life.
While rest and relaxation are a must in living a balanced life, it's not
what we were created to do. After all, the Master Creator took his R&R (Rest
and Recreation) on the seventh day, only after six days of "definitely directed
thought."
Wallace D. Wattles, wrote "There is no labor from which most people shrink
as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought; it is the hardestwork
in the world." And yet it is the first and primary labor of achievement.
My friend Mike Litman wrote an outstanding article for his ezine this week.
It's called "The Millionaire Composite" and it analyzes one of the big
differences between super-successful people and everyone else. He writes "I
recently visited with a Real Estate Multi Millionaire Mogul. What did I see next
to his desk? His vision statement, along with a list of what he values in
life---hand written.
"A few months back, I interviewed an individual who has sold over a billion
dollars worth of products on television. He told me that he reads his life and
business vision and goals daily, and that he TAKES TIME to visualize exactly
what he wants to create-EACH NIGHT before falling asleep."
What is your life's purpose or your personal mission statement? Is it
written down? Do you review it and think about it often? Is your life organized
around your purpose and a set of goals that support that purpose?
Without purpose and goals - definitely directed thought - you are like the
proverbial "ship without a rudder." There is power in your purpose and in your
goals. It is the power that takes you over obstacles, the fuel that propels you
toward the life you envision.
One of my favorite passages of James Allen is one he wrote in "The Mastery
of Destiny":
"All successful people are people of purpose. They hold fast to an idea, a
project, a plan, and will not let it go; they cherish it, brood upon it, tend
and develop it; and when assailed by difficulties, they refuse to be beguiled
into surrender; indeed, the intensity of the purpose increases with the growing
magnitude of the obstacles encountered." And that's worth thinking about.
