良好的习惯

  良好的习惯

  习惯真是一种顽强而巨大的力量,它可以主宰人生。因此,人自幼就应该通过完美的教育,去建立一种良好的习惯。

  ——[英]培根

  学会说“不” 

  “不”虽然是个很简单的单词,但学会说“不”却并不容易,对于中国人来说,磨不开面子往往是我们不会说“不”的原因。学会拒绝是一门艺术,而掌握这本艺术最关键的一点就是确立我们做人的原则。一旦超越了这个原则,我们就应该毫不犹豫地说“不”。

  虽然“不”是一个微不足道的字,但它总是不容易被说出口,但是不去说“不”,却经常会给自己带来麻烦。

  当有人让我们离开学校,在应该学习的时间里去闲逛或者胡闹时,我们应该马上说“不”。

  当有人劝说我们在上学的路上玩耍,以致上学迟到,或是打扰老师时,我们应该说“不”。当有些同学希望我们在教室里玩耍或交头接耳时,我们应该说“不”。

  当我们试图使用不礼貌或恶毒的语言时,我们应当时刻牢记上帝一直在注视着我们,我们应当说“不”。

  当我们做了错事,却试图用谎言来加以隐瞒时,我们应当说“不,我们不能说谎,那样做既不道德,又很懦弱。”

  如果有人让我们做一些本来就知道是错误的事情,我们要勇于说“不”。

  如果我们学会说“不”,我们就会避免不少的麻烦,长享平安。

  When to Say No

  Though "No" is a very little word, it is not always easy to say it; and the not doing so, often causes trouble。

  When we are asked to stay away from school, and spend in idleness or mischief the time which ought to be spent in study, we should at once say "No."

  When we are urged to loiter on our way to school, and thus be late, and interrupt our teacher and the school, we should say "No." When some schoolmate wishes us to whisper or play in the schoolroom, we should say "No."

  When we are tempted to use angry or wicked words, we should remember that the eye of God is always upon us, and should say "No."

  When we have done anything wrong, and are tempted to conceal it by falsehood, we should say "No, we can not tell a lie; it is wicked and cowardly."

  If we are asked to do anything which we know to be wrong, we should not fear to say "No."

  If we thus learn to say "No," we shall avoid much trouble, and be always safe。
