《The secret to success》

A young man asked Socrates the secret to success, Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning.

They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him toward the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue.

Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breath of air.

Socrates asked, “What did you want the most when you were there?” The boy replied, “Air.” Socrates said, “That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it！”

《An uninhabited island》

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small uninhabited island.

He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. “God how could you do this to me!” he cried.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.

“How did you know I was here?” asked the weary man of his rescuers.

“We saw your smoke signal,” they replied.

It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad.But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering.

Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God.For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it.

《一座孤島》

在一場船難中，唯一的生存者隨著潮水，漂流到一座無人島上。他天天激動地祈禱神救他能夠早日離開此處，回到家鄉(xiāng)。他還每天注視著海上有否可搭救他的人，但卻是除了汪洋一片，什么也沒有。

后來，他決定用那片帶他到小島的木頭造一個簡陋的小木屋，以保護(hù)他在這險惡的環(huán)境中生存，并且保存他所有剩下的東西。但有一天，在他捕完食物后，準(zhǔn)備回小屋時，突然發(fā)現(xiàn)他的小屋竟然陷在熊熊烈火之中， 大火引起的濃煙不斷向天上竄。最悲慘的是：他所有的一切東西，在這一瞬間通通化為烏有了。悲痛的他，氣憤的對天吶喊著：神??！你怎么可以這樣對待我！頓時，眼淚從他的眼角中流出。

第二天一早，他被一艘正靠近小島的船只的鳴笛聲所吵醒。是的，有人來救他了。

到了船上時，他問那些船員說：”你怎么知道我在這里？”

“因為我們看到了信號般的濃煙?！彼麄兓卮鹫f。

人在碰到困難時，很容易會沮喪。不過無論受到折磨或者痛苦，都不用因此失去信心，因為上帝一直在我們心里面做著奇妙的工作。

記住：當(dāng)下一次你的小木屋著火時，那可能只是上帝美妙恩典的表征而已。在所有我們所認(rèn)為負(fù)面的事情，上帝都是有正面答案的。
