优美的文字于细微处传达出美感，并浸润着人们的心灵。通过英语美文,不仅能够感受语言之美,领悟语言之用，还能产生学习语言的兴趣。下面是我给大家整理的，供大家参阅!

：变成不可少的人物

无论你只是位员工或公司老板，多付出一点点都可使你 成为公司里不可少的人物：你为公司提供其他人无法提供的 服务。也许其他人具备更多的知识、技术或声望，但是，只有 你能提供公司不可缺少的服务。也许还有其他公司能提供公 关专业服务，但如果你能容忍在半夜二点时被叫醒，并且以"愿意做"的态度提供服务时、则客户们将会记住你并会给你 高度评价。

Whether you are an employee or the head of your own company,going the extra mile makes you indispensable to others.You do for them what no one else does.There may be others with more knowledge,skill,or prestige,but you are the only one who provides something absolutely necessary.There may be seven other companies providing public relations expertise,but if you are the one who can be called upon at two in the morning with a can-do attitude when a disaster strikes,people will remember and value that.

有位在电影人才经纪公司任职的年轻人，是该公司惟一 愿意每天，甚至每个小时，听一位脾气古怪的电影明星抱怨的 人。当这位明星生气罢工时，也是由这位年轻人(不是导演， 制作人或录像室老板)去说服她回来工作，并因而使得招片能 赶上进度，并为电影公司省下好几百万美金，他使自己成为照 顾重要明星的不可缺少的人。

One young man,working for a movie talent agency,was the only person willing to listen to a cantankerous star complain about her problems hour after hour,day after day.No one else took the time.When she threw a tantrum on the set studio,or her agent,was the only one to persuade her to go back to work.The movie went back on schedule,and millions of dollars were saved.He had made himself indispensable by befriending that important client.

除非你能成为某人或某团体不可或缺的人物，否则你的 所得将永远无法超过一般的水平。你应使你自己的地位，变 得重要到无人能取代你的地步，能使自己变得比别人强，并且 服务中有多付出一点点的精神及具积极进取心的人，便可自 己决定自己的薪水。

You will never command more than average compensation until you become indispensable to somebody or some group.Make yourself so useful that it would be extremely difficult,if not impossible,to replace you.People who have pulled themselves out of the crowd and have included the priceless ingredients of going the extra mile and personal initiative in their service virtually write their own paychecks.

：处事方法A—B—C

As an airport skycap checked through a customer at curbside, he accidentally knocked over themans luggage.

一个机场行李搬运员在航站楼边帮一个旅客搬行李时无意 中撞翻了这个人的箱包。

He quickly collected the fallen bags and apologized for the mishap. Unappeased, the travelerburst into an angry tirade, raging and swearing at the skycap for his clumsiness.

他赶快收拾起掉落的行李，并且为他的 过失道歉。然而那个旅客一点不领情，他大发脾气，言辞激烈， 粗暴地骂那个行李员笨拙。

Throughout the travelers rant, the baggage handler simply apologized and smiled. The angryman continued to berate the skycap, until he finally headed off to catch his plane.

叫骂过程中，那个行李员始终都是微 笑道歉。那个暴怒的旅客一直不停地训斥那个行李员，直到最后 他去赶飞机。

Even then the baggage handler remained calm and passively smiled.

即使这样，那个行李员依然保持着平静和微笑。

The next customer in line witnessed the incident and marveled at the skycaps professionalismand control.

排队等候的另一位顾客目睹了整个事件，对行李员的职业 水准和控制力赞叹不已。

"I have never seen such restraint and humility," he said. "How do you keep your cool whensomebody is attacking you so viciously?"

"我从没见过如此的克制与谦卑。"他说， "当别人这么恶毒的攻击你时，你是怎么保持冷静的?"

"Its easy," the skycap answered. "Hes going to Denver, but his bags are going to Detroit."

"很简单。"行李员答道："他要去丹佛，但是他的行李会 去底特律。"

That is certainly ONE way of managing attitudes, but here is a more constructive approach.Have you heard of the A-B-C method of managing your attitude? Its simple and effective.

这当然是一种处事的态度，但我们还有更富建设性的方法。你听说过一个叫"A-B-C"的处事方法吗?这是个简单而 有效的方法。

"A" stands for the "Activating Event." Lets say you get stuck in traffic. The traffic jam is theactivating event.

"A"表示"引发亊件"。比如说你遇到交通堵塞，塞车就是 那个引发事件。

"B" stands for your "Belief System." You believe that traffic is only getting worse and youll havemore and more days like this ahead.

"B"表示你的"信念系统"。你相信交通会越来越糟，以后 像这样的日子会越来越多，

"C" stands for the "Consequence of the Event." You become angry. You want to honk yourhorn. Your stomach is tied in knots and you bang the dashboard with your fist.

"C"代表"事件结果"。你开始生气，你想要鸣汽车喇叭, 你的胃扭成了一团，你用拳头使劲砸仪表盘。

The problem is...most people jump directly from "A" to "C." They get stuck in traffic and becomeangry. They think the traffic jam made them upset. They dont realize that they didnt HAVE toget angry. They skipped an important step!

问题是......很多人会从"A"直接跳到"C"。他们遇到塞车 就暴怒，他们认为塞车让他们难受，他们认识不到他们根本没必 要愤怒，他们漏掉了最重要的一步。

Lets try it again:

我们来再试一追：

"A" - you get stuck in traffic.

"A" 一你遇到塞车。

"B" - you believe that you were given some unexpected and extra time to spend in solitude,to listen to a great tape or to plan your day.

"B" 一一你认为你得到了意外的或额外的时间可以一个人^ 待会儿，听听动听的音乐，或者计划一下一天的时间，

"C" - the consequence is that you feel gratitude for the gift of time.

"C"——结果就是你会感激这份时间的礼物。

I have a friend who is fond of saying, "A traffic jam has no power to make us angry. It juststops our car." He is aware that between the activating event and the consequence issomething that we control: our beliefs about what is happening.

我有个朋友总喜欢说："塞车本身没有让我们发怒的鹰力， 它只是让车子停下来而已。"他知道在引发事件和结果之间的东 西是我们所能控制的，即对于正在发生的事情的看法。

The next time you have a problem -- at home or at work, big or small -- decide to manage yourattitude toward it. Practice the A-B-C method.

下次你遇到问题——无论在家里还是在单位，也无论大 小——先决定你对这件事要采取什么态度。

You probably cant change "A," the activating event. But try changing "B," your beliefs aboutthe problem. When you change your beliefs, you also change "C," the consequences of thesituation.

试试这个"A-B-C" 法，也许你改变不了 "A"，那个引发事件，但是试着把握"B"， 你对这个问题的信念。当你改变了信念，你也就改变了 "C"， 亊情的结果。

Its as simple as A-B-C. Manage your beliefs, and youll manage to be a lot happier!

像A-B-C—样简单，掌握了你的信念，你就能获得更多的 快乐!

：赢得有利的注意

需要你付出的人，总是会给你一些回报，你可能不是能满 足客户要求的惟一供应者，你应如何使消费者特别注意你呢? 其中的窍门就在于提供物超所值的服务。

People who need your work have things to offer you.You probably are not the only person capable of providing what they need.What will distinguish you from the crowd? The attention you generate by doing more than you are being paid to do.

有天早晨，史瓦布来到他所经营的一家钢铁工厂，看到有 一位公司的储备速记员也在那里。当史瓦布问他为什么这么 早来公司时，这位储备速记员说他是来看看史瓦布先生是否 有什么急的信件或电报要处理。他比其他员工早到了好几个 小时来上班。

Early one morning Charles Schwab arrived at one of the steel mills he managed.There, in the dawns faint light, was a clerk from the companys stenography pool.When Schwab wondered what he was doing there were any letters or telegrams Schwab wanted sent right away.It would be hours before the rest of the staff arrived.

史瓦布向这位员工说了声"谢谢"，并告诉他晚一点会需要他的帮忙。当天晚上史瓦布回到办公室时，身边多了一位私入助理，而他就是在早上令史瓦布印象深刻的那位储备速记员。

Schwab thanked the fellow and told him he might need him later that day.And he did.That night,as Schwab headed back to the main office,he tool along his new personal assistant,the fellow who had gotten his attention so early in the morning.

这位年轻人吸引史瓦布的地方，并非他的速记能力，而是 他愿意多付出一点点的进取心。

It wasnt the fact that this young man was an extraordinary stenographer that got him attention.It was his habit of showing his personal initiative in going the extra mile.
