| [00:00.00]The Greatest Hitter 最伟大的击球员 [00:05.72]A little boy was overheard talking to himself [00:10.87]as he strutted through the backyard, [00:12.96]wearing his baseball cap and toting a ball and bat. [00:15.68]"I’m the greatest hitter in the world," [00:18.95]he announced. [00:20.05]Then, he tossed the ball into the air, [00:22.14]swung at it, [00:23.24]and missed. [00:24.12]"Strike One!" [00:25.08]he yelled. [00:25.85]Undaunted, [00:27.50]he picked up the ball and said again, [00:29.89]"I’m the greatest hitter in the world!" [00:32.86]He tossed the ball into the air. [00:34.92]When it came down he swung again and missed. [00:37.89]"Strike Two!" [00:38.88]he cried out. [00:39.95]The boy then paused a moment to examine his bat [00:43.37]]and ball carefully. [00:44.65]He spit on his hands and rubbed them together. [00:47.51]He straightened his cap and said once more, [00:50.12]"I’m the greatest hitter in the world!" [00:53.72]Again he tossed the ball up in the air and swung at it. [00:57.00]He missed. [00:57.87]"Strike Three!" [00:59.08]"Wow!" he exclaimed. [01:02.14]"I’m the greatest pitcher in the world!" [01:04.33]Your attitude determines how circumstances impact your life. [01:09.04]The little boy’s circumstances hadn’t changed, [01:11.98]but his optimistic attitude prompted him to give an encouraging [01:16.02]meaning to what had happened. [01:17.78]What difficult time are you going through right now? [01:21.61]Can you do something to change it? [01:23.80]If you can, don’t wait another day— [01:26.08]make the needed changes. [01:27.74]If you can’t change the circumstance, [01:30.58]however, change your attitude— [01:32.87]you’ll discover that circumstances won’t have the last word. [01:37.02]The world is so constructed that [01:39.88]if you wish to enjoy its pleasures, [01:41.51]you must also endure its pains. [01:43.70]Like it or not, you cannot have one without the other. [01:47.08]Success is not measured by what you accomplish. [01:49.84]It’s measured by the opposition you encounter [01:52.88]and the courage with which you maintain your struggle against the odds. [01:56.82]You’ll find all things are difficult before they are easy. [02:01.10]The greater your obstacles, [02:03.05]the more glory in overcoming them. [02:04.93]So, make up your mind before you start [02:07.86]that sacrifice is part of the package. [02:10.73]You’ve got to go through the negative before you get to the positive. [02:14.44]The highway to success is a toll road. |
