Stealing a Bell with One's Ears PluggedDuring the last days of State of Fan (Chu Dynasty), there was a thief who came upon a bell. He wanted to steal it, but it was too heavy to cart away. So he decided to break the bell into pieces. When he hit the bell with the hammer, the bell rang loudly. Not wanting others to hear the noises, he covered up his ears. By logic, not wanting others to hear the noises is understandable.To accomplish this by covering one's own ears, so one cannot hear himself, is absurd。
2.英文勵志故事及解釋
A boy found an eagle's egg and he put it in the nest of a prairie chicken. The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. 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. He went on cackling and complaining about life. He died thinking he was a prairie chicken. My friends, you too were born an eagle. The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don't listen to the prairie chickens！ 一個小男孩發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只老鷹下的蛋，把它放進(jìn)了一只山雞的窩里。
鷹被孵出來了，但他以為自己是一只山雞。漸漸的他長大了，卻做著山雞所做的事---從泥土里尋找食物，做短距離的飛翔，翅膀還啪啪作響。
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??！”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(xù)咯咯地叫，不停的抱怨生活。最后他死了，依然認(rèn)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！ As fruit needs not only sunshine but cold nights and chilling showers to ripen it, so character needs not only joy but trial and difficulty to mellow it. (Hugh Black, American writer) 水果不僅需要陽光，也需要涼夜。

This is extremely powerful; by focusing on potential positives instead of failures, you open yourself up to opportunities for success and achievement. This is exemplified in his quote, “You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.”Focusing on the right things is one of the keys to accelerating your success. Scanning for positives out of a situation makes us happier and productive, making us more likely to succeed. By focusing on the potential positives and expecting great things, this motivates our body and mind on doing the things that could make it happen. In the case of many successful athletes and businesspeople, strong self-belief is a key to their success.Don't Fear Failure, Embrace It“I've never been afraid to fail.”Along with processing setbacks and failure as fuel and motivation, Michael chose to embrace failure itself instead of fearing it. This is a great ethos: if failure happens, it happens. It's only terrible if you process it as terrible. Jordan describes fear as an 'illusion' that he overcome. Fearing failure itself limits your potential success.Michael said in an interview that he had no disappointments in his playing career. He said there were things that were negative, but he always took them as a positive because it's a great learning experience and without them, other great things wouldn't have happened.Stick To The Basics“The minute you get away from fundamentals – whether its proper technique, work ethic or mental preparation – the bottom can fall out of your game, your schoolwork, your job, whatever you're doing.”Michael said to stick to the fundamentals and don't get lost in the details. He always tried to find an edge at whatever he worked at and part of that was never losing sight of the basics.Another important Jordan quote says never to try and skip over anything basic: “If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you.” The message is great: if you try to cut corners or think you're beyond doing something that seems basic then you will not be rewarded. To be successful everyone has to stick to certain fundamentals or they will stray from productive habits and focus too much on things that don't matter.太多了，我不確定你要不要中文翻譯，要的話，可以追問，我可以翻譯的，請采納我吧。

The soldier, who was watching the passengers coming in, quickly took the notice off the seat beside himself and in this way succeededin having the company of the girl during the whole trip. 英語幽默：士兵坐飛機(jī)有美女陪伴的高招 由于生意方面的事，羅賓遜先生得出趟門。因為有點緊急，他決定坐飛機(jī)。
