2、oup problems must first be solved by the individual himself.Now each one of us, whether we publicly admit it or not, has a deeply spiritual side.Not one of us can conceal it-scratch the surface and its always there.So first of all-and underlying all my credo-I believe in God and in an orderly univer

3、se.As a mortal, passing through this life for just a limited period of time, I believe that happiness is a truly basic objective-happiness for ones self and, hopefully, happiness for others.It hasnt taken too much living on my part to discover that real happiness, which sounds so selfish and so self

4、-centered, is never achieved merely by selfish materialism-it can only have depth and real satisfaction if it is bound up with unselfishness-with a consideration for others.Service is the very essence of it.It has been said that “service is the rent we pay for our place on earth.” That kind of servi

5、ce brings the true happiness that we all seek.The antithesis of all this is selfishness, which is outstandingly the greatest world-wide vice.It seems though all the world had the “gimmies,” selfishly grasping for power, and more and more, at national levels, with individuals selfishly struggling for

6、 material things at their own level.Each one of us needs a sense of humor with its balancing factor of a sense of proportion.I believe a sense of humor brings poise and a start towards understanding.My credo embraces a joyous approach for me toward my fellow man and for collective groups towards eac

7、h other.I want none of that grim hellfire-and-brimstone stuff that flourished in the early days of our country-a religion of frightening fear of the hereafter.Why, even their old church pews were as unfortable as straitjackets! A joyous approach towards living even cheers you yourself-to say nothing

8、 of its warmth that eases the burdens of others.Now I believe that brotherhood can grow from this to help destroy forever the seeds of friction and injustice that stem from group minority prejudices.If only each one of us can develop a sound philosophy and work out a course of conduct as individuals

9、, then I believe that we can solve our world problems at the international level.Thomas Mann once gave this challenging definition-I e: “War is only a cowardly escape from the problems of peace.” End e.With faith and good will in our hearts and with peace in our souls and minds, surely we can leave

10、this world the better for our having lived in it.最新英语美文朗读篇二Man Is Like a Fruit Treeby Elmer H.BobstOnce, while taking my boat down the inland waterway to Florida, I decided to tie up at Georgetown, South Carolina, for the night and visit with an old friend.As we approached the Esso dock, I saw him t

11、hrough my binoculars standing there awaiting us.Tall and straight as an arrow he stood, facing a cold, perating wind - truly a picture of a sturdy man, even though in his eighties.Yes, the man was our elder statesman, Bernard Baruch.He loaded us into his station wagon and we were off to his famous H

12、obcaw Barony for dinner.We sat and talked in the great living room where many notables and statesmen, including Roosevelt and Churchill, have sat and taken their cues.In his eighty-second year, still a human dynamo, Mr.Baruch talked not of the past but of present problems and the future, deploring o

13、ur ignorance of history, economics and psychology.His only reference to the past was to tell me, with the wonderful sparkle in his eyes, that he was only able to get eight quail out of the ten shots the day before.What is the secret of this great man's value to the world? The answer is his insat

14、iable desire to keep being productive.Another friend of mine, the head of one of our largest corporations, a great steel pany, is approaching his middle seventies, and he is still a great leader.He, too, never talks of the past.Instead, he tackles the problems of each day in his stride, brims with p

15、lans for the future and, incidentally, shoots in the low seventies on any golf course.He is a happy man because he is productive.Two of the hardest things to acplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly.Recently, I walked into th

16、e locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round.It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes.But a half dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables, talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them.These same men can b

17、e found there day after day, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the munity.If material prosperity were the chief requisites for happiness, then each one should have been happy.Yet, it seemed to me, something very impo

18、rtant was missing, else there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through Scotch and soda.They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased.When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying.And it is even so with man.What is the answer to a lon

19、g and happy e_istence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eyes while I was thumbing through my Bible.The words were few but they became indelibly impressed on my mind: “In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat thy bread.”To me that

20、has been a challenge from my earliest recollections.In fact, the battle of life, of e_istence, is a challenge to everyone.The immortal words of St.Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me.At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight - have

21、 finished the course - I have kept the faith.最新英语美文朗读篇三A New Look from Borrowed TimeBy Ralph RichmondJust ten years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor with a stethoscope.“Yes,” he said, “there is a lesion in the left, upper lobe.You have a moderately advanced case.” I listened, stunned, as he

22、continued, “Youll have to give up work at once and go to bed.Later on, well see.” He gave no assurances.Feeling like a man who in mid-career has suddenly been placed under sentence of death with an indefinite reprieve, I left the doctors office, walked over to the park, and sat down on a bench, perh

23、aps, as I then told myself, for the last time.I needed to think.In the ne_t three days, I cleared up my affairs; then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, but the months.2 ½ years and many dashed hopes later, I left my bed and began the long climb back.

24、It was another year before I made it.I speak of this e_perience because these years that past so slowly taught me what to value and what to believe.They said to me: Take time, before time takes you.I realize now that this world Im living in is not my oyster to be opened but my opportunity to be gras

25、ped.Each day, to me, is a precious entity.The sun es up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours-not to pass, but to fill.Ive learned to appreciate those little, all-important things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on running water, the music of the wind

26、in my favorite pine tree.I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered freshness of childhood.How well, for instance, I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed.It was almost more than I could bear.It was like regaining ones citizenship in a world one had nearly lost.Frequently, I sit back and say to myself, Let me make note of this moment Im living right now, because in it Im well, happy, hard at work doing
