英语美文：奋勇向前
英语课
Move Forward
With age comes experience and with experience comes knowledge and understanding. No one individual is ever completed with his or her growth. For the wisest of all men has death to face. And with death imminent 1 for all, one will still have to face fear till the very end of one's existence. So to take what one learns through life and to press on towards the goals set will one begin to face new, challenging, and sometimes even exciting new fears. Life will never complete itself until one has completed the life he is given. Therefore it is incredibly irresponsible to merely accept death as the imminent future, settle into a comfort zone naught 2 of challenge, and to merely exist. Could a better definition of waste be drawn 3?
It is each and everyone's responsibility to konw who he is. And it is, therefore, each and everyone's responsibility to take what he has as genetic 4 tools to better his life and to better the lives of others. For if all accepted individuality and accepted the individuality of others, then all would have the sympathy for one another.
This is harmony; the ideal nature of life by which life is then lived. To live in harmony with one another is but a simple step forward in one's thinking.
Once one has recognized one's individuality, accepted one's fears, and chosen to set goals and move foward with the important aid of hope, will one have truly conquered living life.

经验伴随着年龄增长，知识与宽容伴随着经验增长。人的增长空间是无限的，因为最聪明的人也要面对死亡。死亡对每个人来说都不远。只要人活着，就会有未知的事物去面对。
所以，一个人终生学习，向目标奋进，就会迎来新的挑战，有时甚至是新的恐惧。生活从不会自己终结，除非你终结生命。因此，垂手等待死亡，期待一个毫无挑战的安乐乡，只是为了活下去，这是对自己的不负责任。还有比被喻为垃圾更好的定义吗？
每个人都应当知道自己是谁，而且他应该用自己天生的能力改变自己的生活，以及别人的生活。因为如果每个人都认同个体的存在及其他个体的存在，那么他就会对其他人有同情之心。
这就是和谐——生活的最高境界。与他人和谐共处其实是只要人这么想就能办到的。只要一个人认同了他的个体性、接受他的恐惧、选择了目标、怀着希望奋勇前进，那么他就真正地战胜生活了。
