A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him toward the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” The boy replied, “Air.” Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it. There is no other secret.” 一個年輕人向蘇格拉底詢問成功的秘訣，蘇格拉底讓年輕人第二天早晨到河邊 見他。

He grew up doing what prairie chicken do-scratching at the dirt for food and flying short distances with a noisy fluttering of wings. It was a dreary life. Gradually the eagle grew older and bitter. One day he and his prairie chicken friend saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains."Oh, I wish I could fly like that!" said the eagle. The chicken replied, "Don't give it another thought. That's the mighty eagle, the king of all birds-you could never be like him!" And the eagle didn't give it another thought.

生活非常沉悶，漸漸地鷹長大了，也越來越苦惱。有一天，他和他的山雞朋友看見一只美麗的鳥在天空翱翔，飛的比山還高。
“哦，我要能飛的那么高該多好啊！”鷹說。山雞回答說，“不要想了，那是兇猛無比的鷹，鳥中之王---你不可能像他一樣！”于是鷹放棄了那個念頭。
他繼續咯咯地叫，不停的抱怨生活。最后他死了，依然認為自己是一只山雞。
朋友們，你們天生就是雄鷹。造物主有意把你造就成一只雄鷹，所以不要聽信山雞的話！（3）孤島上的故事，痛苦有時是上天的恩典The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited * prayed feverishly for God to rescue him,and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed *ted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few * then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the * worst had happened; everything was * was stunned with grief and anger. “God how could you do this to me!” he * the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the * had come to rescue him.“How did you know I was here?” asked the weary man of his rescuers. “We saw your smoke signal,” they * is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad.

他天天激動地祈禱神救他能夠早日離開此處，回到家鄉。他還每天注視著海上有否可搭救他的人，但卻是除了汪洋一片，什么也沒有。
后來，他決定用那片帶他到小島的木頭造一個簡陋的小木屋，以保護他在這險惡的環境中生存，并且保存他所有剩下的東西。但有一天，在他捕完食物后，準備回小屋時，突然發現他的小屋竟然陷在熊熊烈火之中，大火引起的濃煙不斷向天上竄。
悲痛的他，氣憤的對天吶喊著：神啊！你怎么可以這樣對待我！頓時，眼淚從他的眼角中流出。最悲慘的是：他所有的一切東西，在這一瞬間通通化為烏有了。
第二天一早，他被一艘正靠近小島的船只的鳴笛聲所吵醒。是的，有人來救他了。
到了船上時，他問那些船員說：「你怎么知道我在這里？」「因為我們看到了信號般的濃煙。」他們回答說。
人在碰到困難時，很容易會沮喪。不過無論受到折磨或者痛苦，都不用因此失去信心，因為上帝一直在我們心里面做著奇妙的工作。
記住：當下一次你的小木屋著火。

5.含哲理的英語簡單小故事
She had been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful brown haired, freckle-faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth it has no time to flow down the spout. We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We waited, some patiently, others 4)irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day. Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in. "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said. "What?" Mom asked. "Let's run through the rain!" She repeated. "No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied. This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain." "We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said. "No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm." "This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?" "Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!" The entire crowd stopped dead silent. I swear you couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. Time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith. "Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said. Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case. They got soaked. But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing. Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories. So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories every day! To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. I hope you still take the time to run through the rain. Run Through the Rain 雨中的記憶 她和媽媽剛在沃爾瑪購完物。
這個天真的小女孩應該6歲大了，頭發是美麗的棕色，臉上有雀斑。外面下著傾盆大雨。
雨水溢滿了檐槽，來不及排走，就迫不及待地涌向了大地。 我們都站在沃爾瑪門口的遮篷下。
大家在等待，有的人很耐心，也有人煩躁，因為老天在給他們本已忙碌的一天添亂。雨天總引起我的遐思。
我出神地聽著、看著老天洗刷沖走這世界的污垢和塵埃，孩時無憂無慮地在雨中奔跑玩水的記憶洶涌而至，暫時緩解了我這一天的焦慮。 小女孩甜美的聲音打破了這令人昏昏欲睡的氣氛，“媽媽，我們在雨里跑吧，”她說。
“什么？”母親問。 “我們在雨里跑吧，”她重復。
“不，親愛的，我們等雨小一點再走，”母親回答說。 過了一會小女孩又說：“媽媽，我們跑出去吧。”
“這樣的話我們會濕透的，”母親說。 “不會的，媽媽。
你今天早上不是這樣說的。”小女孩一邊說一邊拉著母親的手。
“今天早上？我什么時候說過我們淋雨不會濕啊？” “你不記得了嗎？你和爸爸談他的癌癥時，你不是說‘如果上帝讓我們闖過這一關，那我們就沒有什么過不去了。’” 人群一片寂靜。
我發誓，除了雨聲，你什么都聽不到。我們都靜靜地站著。
接下來的幾分鐘沒有一個人走動。母親停了一下，在想著應該說些什么。
有人也許會對此一笑了之，或者責備這孩子的不懂事，有人甚至不把她的話放在心上。但這卻是一個小孩子一生中需要被肯定的時候。
若受到鼓舞，此時孩子單純的信任就會發展成為堅定的信念。“親愛的，你說得對，我們跑過去吧。
如果淋濕了，那也許是因為我們的確需要沖洗一下了，”母親說。然后她們就沖出去了。
我們站在那里，笑著看她們飛快地跑過停著的汽車。他們把購物袋高舉過頭想擋擋雨，但還是濕透了。
好幾個人像孩子般尖叫著，大笑著，也跟著沖了出去，奔向自己的車子。當然，我也這樣做了，跑了出去，淋濕了。
我也需要接受洗禮。環境或其他人可以奪去你的物質財富，搶走你的金錢，帶走你的健康，但沒有人可以帶走你珍。

英文哲理故事：財富、成功和愛Wealth Success and LoveA woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She did not recognize them. She said, "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat." "Is the man of the house home?", they asked. "No", she replied, "He's out." "Then we cannot come in", they replied. In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened. "Go tell them I am home and invite them in!" The woman went out and invited the men in. "We do not go into a House together," they replied. "Why is that?" she asked. One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, "and he is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home." The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!", he said. "Since that is the case, let us invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!" His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?" Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Wouldn't it be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love." "Let us heed our daughter-in-law's advice," said the husband to his wife. "Go out and invite Love to be our guest." The woman went out and asked the three old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest." Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other two also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, Why are you coming in?" The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would have stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever He goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success！"三個白須飄然的老人坐在婦人家院前歇腳，三人中，一個是“財富”，一個是“成功”，一個是“愛”。
婦人邀請他們進屋，三個老者笑呵呵地謝了她，身子卻沒動。 婦人惑然。
三個老人說：“我們不能同時進屋呀！不過，你可以去和你的家人商量，看你們最需要我們中的哪一個。” 婦人便進屋把老人的話說了。
丈夫驚喜道：“既然如此，我們就邀請財富老人吧，請他進來，讓我們的屋里裝滿財富！” 婦人不同意：“親愛的，我們為什么不邀請成功老人呢？做一切事情都能成功，那感覺會有多好！” 這時候，兒媳插嘴進來，說：“我們還是邀請愛吧，讓我們的家時時處處都充滿愛。” “那我們就聽兒媳的吧！”一對夫婦朝兒媳點點頭。
于是婦人出門，邀請愛的老人進屋作客。誰知愛的老人起身，成功老人和財富老人也都跟在后面。
婦人感到驚訝：“我們邀請的是‘愛’，你們兩位怎么也一起來了？” 三個老人樂了：“哪里有愛，哪里就有財富和成功！” 上帝的咖啡God's Coffee一群事業有成的同學回去看望他們的大學老師，很快他們開始抱怨生活和工作中的壓力。A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life.老師去廚房為客人們準備咖啡，回來時端著一大壺咖啡和各式各樣的杯子，這些杯子有陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有的普通，有的昂貴，有的精致，老師讓大家隨意享用。
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchenand returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking,some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the coffee.等每個人都端起一杯咖啡，老師說話了：你們注意到嗎：所有好看昂貴的杯子都被用了，剩下那些樸素便宜的杯子。你們都只想要最好的，這很正常，這恰恰是你們的問題和壓力所在。
杯子不會讓咖啡的質量變得更好，很多時候，只是讓它變得更貴一些，甚至，有時候，讓人忽略了到底我們在喝什么。你們真正想要的其實是咖啡，不是杯子，但你們有意識地去拿那些最好的杯子，隨后開始打量其他人手上的杯子。
想想吧：生活好比咖啡，工作、金錢和社會地位都只是杯子，只是生活的容器，而我們擁有的杯子既無法定義、也無法改變我們生活的質量。有時，由于我們只關心杯子，我們甚至不能夠好好品嘗上帝賜予我們的咖啡。
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.
