生活。

【句式剖析】

句子主干：...youwillintroducedisciplineintoyourlife.

賞析：

@Once引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句Onceyouknowwhatyouwanttodo,andhowyouintendtocarry

yourplanout；

②賓語從句whatyouwanttodo與howyouintendtocarryyourplanout構(gòu)成并列關(guān)系，充當(dāng)

動詞know的賓語；

③主句youwillintroducedisciplineintoyourlife是主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)。

2.Switchofffromworkcompletelywhenyouarerelaxing,andyouwillbeahappierpersonanda

moreamenablecolleague.

【句式剖析】

賞析：

①本句是由and連接的一個并列句；

②Switchofffromworkcompletelywhenyouarerelaxing是祈使句，動詞原形開頭，其中when

youarerelaxing是時間狀語從句；

(3)youwillbeahappierpersonandamoreamenablecolleague是主系表結(jié)構(gòu)，ahappierperson

與amoreamenablecolleague是并列關(guān)系，由and連接，共同作表語。

西奧多?羅斯福(TheodoreRoosevelt)對生活采取了一種穩(wěn)健的態(tài)度，可以概括為“用

你所擁有的，在你所處的地方，盡你所能"。換言之，當(dāng)你在尋求成功時，利用一切可用的

資源。

西奧多?羅斯福沒有時間放棄或抱怨。他永遠(yuǎn)不會接受有些事情是不可能的。每一項(xiàng)任

務(wù)、每一個目標(biāo)和每一個夢想都可以完成。你所需要做的就是開始。利用你身邊的一切邁出

你的第一步。

不要為不做某事找借口。相反，給出出發(fā)完成任務(wù)的所有理由?？偸怯辛硪环N方法來處

理項(xiàng)目。放棄不是其中之一。

whichaddstoyourself-esteem.

放棄者和抱怨者都不會成功。他們不斷地找到做任何事情的方法。當(dāng)你追求成功時，不

要給自己找借口。相反，挑戰(zhàn)自己。

充分利用你所得到的是對生活的肯定。通過努力找到不同的方式完成任務(wù)或克服障礙來

獲得成功，會讓你感覺良好。你的自信和信心會飆升，你會覺得自己能夠應(yīng)對任何其他問題。

西奧多?羅斯福是自律的偉大倡導(dǎo)者。他認(rèn)為，如果我們不能控制自己的生活，我們怎

么能領(lǐng)導(dǎo)別人呢？當(dāng)你把自律強(qiáng)加于自己時,你就消除了優(yōu)柔寡斷，取而代之的是目標(biāo)明確。

你成為別人的榜樣，這會增加你的自尊心。

強(qiáng)制自律可能需要一定程度的犧牲。晨跑對你的健康有好處，但躺在床上是一個誘人的

選擇。自律使你堅(jiān)持每天早上鍛煉的計(jì)劃。

自律將幫助你更有效地組織思想和計(jì)劃。一旦你知道你想做什么，以及你打算如何實(shí)施

你的計(jì)劃，你就會把紀(jì)律引入你的生活。你將能夠?qū)Ｗ⒂谀愕那斑M(jìn)道路，并知道你有足夠的

接下來，西奧多?羅斯福贊揚(yáng)了自信的好處。對他來說，自信是每個人渴望成功時所需

要的基本素質(zhì)。當(dāng)你相信自己能夠取得成功時，你就會在成功的路上一帆風(fēng)順。

幾千年來，自我信念的力量一直在提升0希臘和羅馬作家知道，如果要取得成功，對自

己的能力有信心是多么重要?？v觀歷史，那些擁有無上自信的人獲得成功的例子比比皆是。

西奧多?羅斯福充滿了自信，這不足為奇。

因此，我們必須做些什么來增強(qiáng)我們的自尊心？首先，從每件事中看到積極的一面。消

極的經(jīng)歷中會有積極的一面。即使是消極的，也有值得學(xué)習(xí)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，可以為未來積累。如果

別人要相信你，那么你必須相信自己。

此外，我們需要感謝我們的成功。每一次小小的成功都會增加我們對自己的正面形象。

為你的成就感到驕傲。

西奧多?羅斯福也談到了失敗。他不太擔(dān)心失敗，而是擔(dān)心我們中的許多人會嘗試成功。

害怕嘗試意味著你永遠(yuǎn)不會知道嘗試的結(jié)果。你可能因?yàn)樘ε露e過了一次精彩的成功。

成功人士將每一次機(jī)會都視為實(shí)現(xiàn)更多目標(biāo)的機(jī)會。他們不擔(dān)心嘗試新事物的后果。相

反，他們擁抱它并從中學(xué)習(xí)。他們無所畏懼地冒險。

西奧多?羅斯福是職業(yè)道德的忠實(shí)信徒。他認(rèn)為，沒有努力，任何有價值的事情都無法

實(shí)現(xiàn)。當(dāng)你在工作時，要全神貫注，認(rèn)真對待你正在做的事情。在完成工作之前，遠(yuǎn)離任何

干擾。

羅斯福還認(rèn)為，閑暇時間對于防止一個人筋疲力盡至關(guān)重要。避免筋疲力盡的風(fēng)險，但

仍要在工作和放松之間保持合理的平衡。過度繁重的工作量會拖累一個人，導(dǎo)致心理健康問

題。因此，工作會受到影響，夢想也會破滅。
