I now believe that—in my case—one child was God’s will for me。 I’ve rejected the condemnation。 Nevertheless; I had to grieve that I’d never have the houseful of children I’d always wanted。
说出你的想法
佚名
你是否曾逃避过某种局面,并希望用不同的方式来处理呢?有时候,你是否觉得自己的权利被忽视?你能否回想起发脾气,以及没人理解你的意见的时候?如果,你对其中任何一个问题回答“是的”的话,你可能在坚定自信的表达方面受到了挑战。坚定自信的表达是能够以双方相互尊重的方式,清晰地说出你的看法和感受。它不会侵犯别人的权利,也不会因结果而愧疚。坚定自信的表达以天赋人权为前提,不是建立在地位或成就上。你有权利表达自己的观点,有权利承担自己的责任,并拒绝承担他人的责任。能否进行“有价值”的交流,关键在于你如何支配自己的这些权利。
当沟通的双方——说者和听者都受到尊重时,交流才有价值。主要的沟通方式有三种:消极被动的接受、坚定自信的交流、强迫他人接受。三者的差异性在于交流双方和信息质量不同。消极接受使你的表达和被认可的能力降低,强迫他人接受,是为了导致某种结果,而施加了其他的力量,不是建立在互相尊重的基础上。只有坚定自信的交流才使双方都受到尊重,才能进行有价值的交流。
一个人需要有一定程度的自信、自我肯定和自知之明,才能进行坚定自信的交流。自信,是要从内心凸现,而不是伪装出来的。它发自内心,不依赖于任何人。自我肯定,即相信自己的价值,相信自己是生活中美好事物的承载者。自知之明,源于自我控制,它能通过自身评定获知自己的优缺点。对于一个自信并自知的人,坚定自信的表达是一个很自然的过程。从本质上说,在你向他人证明自己之前,必须有自信。
Self…assertion
Anonymous
Have you ever walked away from a situation and wished you handled it differently? At times; do you feel that others overlook your rights? Can you recall losing your temper and not getting your point across effectively? If you have answered “yes” to any of these questions; you may feel challenged in the area of assertiveness。 Assertiveness is the ability to clearly represent your thoughts and feelings in a mutually respectful way。 It does not infringe on the rights of others or rely on guilt for results。 Assertiveness starts with the premise that each human being is given rights that do not depend on status or performance。 You have the right to express your perspective。 You have the right to assume personal responsibility and to decline responsibility for others。 How you govern yourself in relation to these rights is important for “valued” munication。
munication is valued when both parties; the sender and the receiver; are respected。 There are three primary styles of munication: passive; assertive; and aggressive。 The difference between passive; assertive; and aggressive munication rests with the exchange between parties and quality of the message。 Passiveness diminishes your capacity to be heard and validated。 Aggressiveness exerts differential power to promote a certain end result that is not based on mutual respect。 Only assertiveness respectfully engages both parties for valued munication。
In order to achieve assertive munication; one needs a level of self…confidence; self…worth; and self…awareness。 Self…confidence is projected; not performed。 It has to radiate from within and does not rely on others。 Self…worth es from believing that you are a worthwhile individual who deserves the best that life has to offer。 Self…awareness develops from personal monitoring。 One learns of strengths and weaknesses by making internal assessments。 Self…assertion is a natural process for individuals who are confident and aware。 In essence; you must have confidence within before you can demonstrate it in the midst of others。

坚持不懈,直到成功(1)
佚名
在东方,挑选小公牛去竞技场格斗有一定的程序。每只小公牛都被带进场地,向手持长矛刺它们的斗牛士发起攻击。小公牛的勇敢程度以它所表现出的可以忍受矛刃刺痛的次数来衡量。我从中意识到——生活里,我每天都经历着类似的测试。如果我坚持下去、不断尝试、勇往向前,就能获得成功。
我并不是为了失败才来到这个世界的,我的血管里流淌的也不是失败的血液。我不是一只任人宰割的羔羊,而是一头决不与羊群为伍的猛狮。我不愿听到弱者的哭泣和抱怨,因为他们的脆弱会影响到我。让他们加入羔羊的行列吧!失败者的屠宰场不是我的宿命。
生活的犒赏不会出现在旅途的起点附近,而往往在旅程的终点。我不知道要走多远才能到达目的地。走到第一千步,我仍然可能遭遇失败,然而成功就在下一个拐弯处;如果我不转过去,我永远也不会知道它离我有多近。通常;我都会再前行一步;如果还没成功,我还会再向前一步,然后再往前一步。事实上,每一步也并非那么困难。
因此,我认为,每天的努力就好比往大橡树上砍一刀。最开始的一击也许对大树没有任何影响,第二刀也是这样,第三刀还是这样。每一刀似乎都没什么效果,都可以忽略。但这小小的一刀刀累积起来,大橡树终将倒掉。同样,我们也可以把今天所做的努力比作冲刷山岭的雨滴、蚕食老虎的蚂蚁、照亮地球的星星和建造金字塔的奴隶。我要一砖一瓦地垒筑起自己的城堡,因为我知道,小小的努力,只要坚持下去,也能成就伟业。
我决不会考虑失败,我要从我的字典里去掉这些愚蠢的词和短语:放弃、无法、不能够、不会发生、不可能、没有可能性、失败、难以实行、无望和退却等。我会尽量摆脱失望的控制,即使染上这种思想疾病,我也将在绝望中继续前进。我要挥洒汗水,不停劳作,忍受一切磨难痛苦。我会全身心向着目标前行,藐视所有阻障,因为我坚信,沙漠尽头必有绿洲。
我将牢记古老的平均律,并为我所用。我相信,每一次失败都增加了成功的胜算,每一次否定都是肯定的砝码,每一次失败都是成功的前奏,每一次不幸都预示着明天的好运。只有经历过黑夜,才能欣赏到白昼的明亮;只有历经了多次的失败,才能取得最终的成功。
我将努力,努力,再努力。我将视每一个障碍为成功路上的一个小小延误,是对我的职业的一种挑战。我将坚持下去,像水手一样不断提高自己的技能,乘风破浪,勇往直前。
我不会因昨日的成功而骄傲自大,因为这是失败的祸根。不论昨日的一切是好是坏,我都将忘记,满怀自信地迎接新一轮太阳的升起,我相信这将是最美好的一天。只要一息尚存,我就要坚持到底。因为我已经知道了成功的最大秘诀:只要坚持到底,我就一定会获得成功。
坚持下去,定会成功。
… 心灵小语

I Will Persist Until I Succeed
Anonymous
In the Orient young bulls are tested for the fight arena in a certain manner。 Each is brought to the ring and allowed to attack a picador who pricks them with a lance。 The bravery of each bull is then rated with care according to the number of times he demonstrates his willingness to charge in spite of the sting of the blade。 Henceforth will I recognize that each day I am tested by life in like manner。 If I persist; if I continue to try; if I continue to charge forward; I will succeed。
坚持不懈,直到成功(2)
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 plain; for their disease is contagious。 Let them join the sheep。 The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny。
The prizes of life are at the end of each journey; not near the beginning; and it is not given to me to know how many steps are necessary in order to reach my goal。 Failure I may still encounter at the thousandth step; yet success hides behind the next bend in the road。 Never will I know how close it lies unless I turn the corner。 Always will I take another step。 If that is of no avail I will take another; and yet another。 In truth; one step at a time is not too difficult。
Henceforth; I will consider each day’s effort as but one blow of my blade against a mighty oak。 The first blow may cause not a tremor in the wood ; nor the second; nor the third。 Each
