经典名人名言：胡敏教授的求索感悟和人生哲言

.一个人要想取得点成绩，你所从事的领域要么是别人做过的，你应想方设法比别人做得更好，要么是别人没有做过的，你必须重新开辟一个新的领域。
If you wish to achieve a certain degree of success, you must strive to excel others who are working in the field you have devoted yourself to. If nobody is working in that field, you must make an extra effort to open up new territory.
2.在机会面前有五种人，第一种人创造机会，第二种人寻找机会，第三种人等待机会，第四种人错过机会，第五种人漠视机会。我们如果做不了第一种人，至少也要主动去寻找机会。
When it comes to opportunity, there are five types of people. One type creates opportunity. The second seeks opportunity. The third waits for opportunity to come. The fourth fumbles opportunity. The fifth ignores opportunity. If you can?t be the first type of person, then at least try to be like the second type, and actively seek opportunity.
3.在任何时候，我都要求自己不要作无原则的攀比。如果比的话，一个前提，学别人的优点和长项，而不是跟人比具体的财富和智慧。多数时候，我只跟自己作纵向的比较，自己的今天和昨天相比是否有所进步，而明天是否会超越今天，永远挑战自己，超越自己。
I always make sure that I do not heedlessly compare myself with something beyond my reach. If I do make such a comparison, I make sure that I study that person?s advantages and strong points, and not compare my situation with that person?s overall talents and wisdom. Most of the time, I simply compare my own course of development: Have I made progress today compared with yesterday, and will I do better tomorrow than today? In this way, I continually challenge myself and surpass myself.
4.凭真诚与勤奋赢得尊重
用激情与理性打造未来
Rely on sincerity and diligence to win respect.
Use passion and rationality to forge the future.
5.成功的人生如同登高，一步一步地拾级而上，这中间会有一个个关键的转折点。每当我们走了一段路碰壁了，这一个个转折点又把我们带上了一段段崭新的道路。有时候，转折点就存在于不经意的瞬间，而更多的时候，需要我们付出巨大的努力，人生轨迹才会出现转折。
十大策略?Success in life is like climbing a height: It has to be done step by step. In the course of this there are certain crucial turning points. Every time we encounter a wall while walking along a stretch of road, we turn into a brand?new stretch of road. Sometimes, a turning point can appear out of nowhere, but most of the time in our lives turning points are only reached as the result of a great deal of hard work.
6.只要不因为失败而从此消沉，失败并不可怕。相反，年轻时的失败和挫折是一笔宝贵的财富，有了它，我们会深刻地体会到成功之路的崎岖坎坷，真正地考验自己持之以恒的毅力，更重要的是从中汲取继续奋斗的巨大动力。忍受失败是重新振作的力量源泉。
So long as we are not discouraged by setbacks, setbacks are not to be feared. On the contrary, setbacks and failures in one?s young days are valuable treasures. We can understand how full of twists and turns the road to success is, and truly test our perseverance and determination. But even more important is that you will be able to draw on a gigantic driving force enabling you to struggle continuously. Being able to bear up under defeat is the source of the renewal of vigor and strength.
7. 猴子原则：猴子喜欢吃香蕉。第一个人走过来，扛了两袋世界上最好的苹果和桔子，猴子大怒，喝道：“你给我滚！”第二个人过来了，带了两袋世界上最好的苹果，最好的桔子以及最好的香蕉，猴子在袋子里翻了半天，看到的都是苹果和桔子，正准备发火，终于在袋子底下看到了香蕉，也就不发怒了，但是它对第二个人没有任何感激之情。第三个人来了，一边唱，一边跳，两只手里各拿着一支还没有熟透的小香蕉，猴子一看，特别高兴，扑过去迎接他的到来。猴子需要什么，你就给它什么。
The Monkey Principle: There was a monkey who liked to eat bananas. The first person who passed by was carrying a bag of the best apples in the world and a bag of the best oranges in the world. Enraged, the monkey screamed, “Get out of here!” The second person who passed by was also carrying a bag of the best apples in the world and a bag of the best oranges in the world. But the bags also contained the best bananas in the world. The monkey searched the bags, and when he could find nothing but apples and oranges, was about to lose his temper, when he suddenly discovered the bananas at the bottom of the bags. So he didn?t get angry, but he did not regard the second man with any friendliness. A third man passed by, singing and cavorting. In each hand he held a small, unripe banana. When the monkey saw the bananas he was delighted, and ran gleefully to welcome the third man. Don?t give the monkey what he doesn?t like.
8.我们每个人都有缺点和优点，我们千万不能用放大镜看别人的缺点，而应该拿放大镜看别人的优点。
Each one of us has shortcomings and merits. We should never use a magnifying glass to look at other people?s faults; instead we should use a magnifying glass to view their strong points.
9.只有有危机意识的人才能生存、发展和壮大。
Only a person with a sense of crisis can survive, develop and grow sturdy.

Improve your method of study, better your composite skills, enhance your English capability and raise the level of your professional life.
11.学英语成功的人经验都是一样的，不成功的人会各找各的借口。学外语最有效的方法就是复习、复习、再复习你曾经学习的材料。任何时候、任何地方你都不能以任何理由放弃英语学习。
People who are successful in their English studies all have the same experience; the unsuccessful ones have a variety of excuses. The most effective way to learn a foreign language is to revise, revise and revise again the material you have learned. No matter the time or the place, there can be no reason for laying aside your English studies.
12. 事情做好了，钱就赚到了。英语学好了，分数就上去了。
Do your work well, and the money will earn itself. Genuinely learn English, and your scores will go up.

Be steadfast in work and life, and be diligent in writing and teaching .
14.有许多人总是把双眼盯着远方的风景，往往却忽略了身边的精彩。
There are many people who, with their gaze fixed on the scenery in the distance, often fail to see the splendor that is right beside them.
15.我实干，故我在。
I work, therefore I am.
16.永远保持18岁的心态，因为18岁有天真、淳朴、阳光的心灵，同时享有成年人的一切权利，还有对知识充满饥渴的大脑以及对生活、对未来的如火激情。
Always preserve the mentality of an 18?year?old. Because at 18 you have an innocent, pristine and sunny spirit, and at the same time you enjoy all the rights of an adult. Besides, you have a brain with an overwhelming hunger and thirst for knowledge, and you have a burning enthusiasm for life and the future.
17.如果世界上仅有一种东西让你感动，那一定是真诚；如果世界上仅有一种方式能获得成功，那一定是用心。
If there is only one thing in the world that stirs your emotions, let that be sincerity. If there is only one way in the world that will enable you to achieve success, let that be diligence.
18.做人要做到：真诚、真实、真干。
Try to be a person who is sincere, honest and hard working.

20.每个人都有自己的潜力，每个人都有自己的特长。
Everyone has a hidden talent and we are all good at something.
21.假如明天早晨醒来，突然发现我失去了一切，变得一无所有，但我坚信用我的智慧和双手一定能创造一切。
If I wake up tomorrow morning to find that I have lost everything, I will have the utmost confidence that I will be able to re?create everything relying just on my wisdom and my two hands.
22.放下架子，永远虚心地向周围的人学习，得到实惠的是你自己。
Discard all conceit, and always be prepared to learn humbly from the people around you — you will be the one to benefit!
23.把自己放得越低，你在人们心目中的地位就越高。
The lower you put yourself, the higher will your position be in other people?s esteem.
24.要学会放弃，要知道放弃的背后意味着什么。每一次放弃，一定是进一步地超越自我。
Learn to let go. Learn the meaning of letting go. Each time you let go, you are sure to come closer to self?fulfilment.
25.不要指望人生道路或事业的选择能一锤定音。也许你第一次选择时以为是那样，而选择后你发觉并非那样，这时你得果断地进行再次选择。“选择”本身不是惟一，目标才是惟一的。
Don?t expect the choices you make in your career or profession to be exactly right the first time. You might think you?ve made the right choice the first time, but later find out that it isn?t so. In that case, you must revise your choice without hesitation. There can be more than one“choice”,but only one goal!
26.与其固守包围圈内被世俗与庸碌舒服地蚕食，不如奋力一搏突围而出，去更新人生价值、提升事业品位。
Rather than comfortably nibbled away by conventions and commonplaces in a familiar environment, it is far better to struggle to break out of it, bring new value to your life, and raise your professional standing.
27.选定方向，永不回头。
Choose your goal and never turn back.
28.在人生的任何一个角落都一样，想要别人倾听你的声音，就得凭实干取得业绩，凭实力引起注意。
In any walk of life, if you want other people to take notice of you, you can only do it by relying on solid achievements and sound abililty.
29.人生的道路是无限的，成功的定义是无限的，每个人的潜能也是无限的，只要我们相信自己，坚持自己，不断地创造和寻找机会，极限将被突破，卓越就在眼前，人生终将辉煌。
The road of life is endless. The definition of ambition is boundless. Each individual?s potential is limitless. So long as we believe in ourselves,make ourselves firm, are continuously creative and are constantly on the lookout for opportunities, limits will be broken through, remarkable achievements will be made and life will become splendid.
