Long ago in a small, faraway village, there was a place known as the House of 1000 Mirrors. A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his GREat surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."
All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
很久以前的一个很远的小村庄里，有一个以"千镜屋"而著名的地方。一个乐观的小狗听说了这个地方并决定去参观。当来到这个地方，他蹦蹦跳欢恰快的上了台阶，来到房门口，他高高竖起耳朵，欢快地摇着尾巴，从门口往里张望，他惊奇地看到有1000只欢乐的小狗像他一样快的摇尾巴。他灿烂地微笑着，回报他的是1000张热情，友好的灿烂笑脸。离开时他心想："这是一个精彩的地主，我一定要经常来参观。"
在这个村里还有另一只想参观"千镜屋"的小狗，他不及第一只小狗乐观，他慢吞吞地爬上台阶，然后耷拉着脑袋往屋子里看。一看到有1000只小狗不友好地盯着他，他便开始冲他们狂吠，镜中的1000只小狗也冲着他狂吠，把他给吓坏了，他在离开时心想："这是一个恐怖的地方，我再也不会来了。"
世界上所有的脸都是镜子，在你所遇见的人的脸上你看到反射出来的是什么?

人生哲理故事之二《钉子》
有一个男孩有著很坏的脾气，于是他的父亲就给了他一袋钉子；并且告诉他，每当他发脾气的时候就钉一根钉子在后院的围篱上。
第一天，这个男孩钉下了37根钉子。慢慢地每天钉下的数量减少了。
他发现控制自己的脾气要比钉下那些钉子来得容易些。
终于有一天这个男孩再也不会失去耐性乱发脾气，他告诉他的父亲这件事，父亲告诉他，现在开始每当他能控制自己的脾气的时候，就拔出一根钉子。
一天天地过去了，最后男孩告诉他的父亲，他终于把所有钉子都拔出来了。
父亲握着他的手来到后院说：你做得很好，我的好孩子。但是看看那些围篱上的洞，这些围篱将永远不能回复成从前。你生气的时候说的话将像这些钉子一样留下疤痕。如果你拿刀子捅别人一刀，不管你说了多少次对不起，那个伤口将永远存在。话语的伤痛就像真实的伤痛一样令人无法承受。
注：人与人之间常常因为一些彼此无法释怀的坚持，而造成永远的伤害。如果我们都能从自己做起，开始宽容地看待他人，相信你一定能收到许多意想不到的结果....帮别人开启一扇窗，也就是让自己看到更完整的天空....
French Enlightenment thinkers cloth closure once said: "Genius is the long-term persistence." Our country has a well-known mathematician Hua said: "The governance of knowledge, to do research work, we must persevere ... ..." Indeed, no matter what we do, it is necessary to the success of perseverance and the spirit of perseverance are essential.
Darwin, such as day two studies biology, irrespective of the waves in the wind urgent investigation of ocean-going ship, or the primitive conditions at the laboratory, he has always been persistent, finally found the laws of biological evolution. Mendeleev have in all aspects of the research object to him, the study still insist, and finally developed a complete periodic table. Faraday's law of electromagnetic inction have put forward, the discovery of the laws of Mendelian inheritance, which is not the same as the result of long-term persistence? It can be seen, where in science are making up with the spirit of perseverance.
Scientific research in the case, The same is true of other aspects. Goethe-sixties perseverance and finally to create a giant macro chapter for "Faust"; Beethoven after hearing persistent, and ultimately create a great "Symphony of destiny"; it can be seen, whether in the scientific, literary, artistic or any other aspect, it is necessary to the success of perseverance are essential.
Such a person, a nation, a country even more so. Eight-year war, the Chinese people always persevere, even in the most difficult times did not give up, eventually defeated the invaders, and achieved victory.
To sum up, no matter who, no matter what, to be successful we must persevere, we are also students. The primary school stage, our main task is to study the knowledge, to acquire new skills. As Marx said, "In science there is no flat on the road to go", and so in the course of our study, the spirit of perseverance is essential. It can be said that a student, in order to score in the study made, it is necessary to persevere in the pursuit of knowledge; a student, only the pursuit of knowledge with a spirit of perseverance in order to succeed in learning.
Students, when you difficult to live a successful mix of pace, when the failure of progressive ambition hurt you, when the burden of weight when you breathless, not to retreat, not to give up, do not hesitate, we must persevere, because only insist can lead to unremitting success.
法国启蒙思想家布封曾说过：“天才就是长期的坚持不懈。”我国著名数学家华罗庚也曾说：“治学问，做研究工作，必须持之以恒……”的确，无论我们干什么事，要取得成功，坚持不懈的毅力和持之以恒的精神都是必不可少的。
达尔文二十年如一日研究生物学，无论在风急浪高的远洋考察船上，还是在条件简陋的实验室里，他始终坚持不懈，最终发现了生物进化的规律。门捷列夫在各方面人士都反对他的研究的情况下，仍坚持研究，终于制定了完备的元素周期表。还有法拉第电磁感应定律的提出，孟德尔遗传规律的发现，哪一样不是长期坚持不懈的结果?由此可见，凡在科学上有所建树者都是具有持之以恒的精神的。
科学研究如此，其它方面也是如此。歌德六十年坚持不懈，最终创作出了宏篇巨作《浮士德》;贝多芬失聪后依然坚持不懈，最终创作出了伟大的《命运交响曲》;由此可见，无论是在科学、文学、艺术或是其它任何方面，要取得成功，坚持不懈的毅力都是必不可少的。
一个人如此，一个民族、一个国家更是如此。八年抗战，中国人民始终坚持不懈，即使在最困难的时刻也未放弃，最终打败了侵略者，取得了胜利。
综上所述，无论什么人，无论干什么，要取得成功就必须坚持不懈，我们学生也是如此。小学阶段，我们的主要任务是学习知识，掌握技能。正如马克思所说，“在科学上没有平坦的大路可走”，因此，在我们学习的过程中，坚持不懈的精神就是必不可少的。可以这么说，一个学生，要想在学习上取得成绩，就必须对知识坚持不懈的追求;一个学生，只有具备了坚持不懈追求知识的精神，才能在学习上取得成功。
同学们，当困难拌住你成功脚步的时候，当失败挫伤你进取雄心的时候，当负担压得你喘不过气的时候，不要退缩，不要放弃，不要裹足不前，一定要坚持下去，因为只有坚持不懈才能通向成功。
希望对你有帮助

The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

Will Give It to the Lord Myself
An old man put a dollar on the Salvation Army drum and asked a young man on the left:
"What do you do with the money?"
"Give it to the Lord."
"How old are you,young man?"
"Twenty-one."
"I am eighty-nine," said the old man as he recovered his dollar from the drum. "You don't need to bother. I will more likely see the Lord before you do, and I will give it to the Lord myself."
我将亲手把它交给上帝
一个老人把一美圆放在救世军(基督教的一种传教组织,编制仿部队形式)军鼓上后，向左边的一个年轻人问道，
“你用钱来做些什么？”
“把它（钱）交给上帝。”
“你多大了，年轻人？”
“21岁。”
“我已经89了”，老人边说边把鼓上的钱收回。“你不用担心这个了，看起来我更加有可能比你先去见上帝，我将自己亲手把它交给上帝。”
（这则故事大概的意思是救世军在向百姓筹集捐款时发生的。年轻人应该是救世军的一员）
A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the st.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the st and eat them.
Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
【译文】
一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。
他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。”
他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。
不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。

The Thirsty Pigeon口渴的鸽子
A PIGEON, oppressed by excessive thirst, saw a goblet of water painted on a signboard. Not supposing it to be only a picture, she flew towards it with a loud whir and unwittingly dashed against the signboard, jarring herself terribly. Having broken her wings by the blow, she fell to the ground, and was caught by one of the bystanders.
Zeal should not outrun discretion.
有只鸽子口渴得很难受，看见画板上画着一个水瓶，以为是真的。他立刻呼呼地猛飞过 去，不料一头碰撞在画板上，折断了翅膀，摔在地上，被人轻易地捉住了。
这是说，有些人想急于得到所需的东西，一时冲动，草率从事，就会身遭不幸。
The Raven and the Swan乌鸦和天鹅
A RAVEN saw a Swan and desired to secure for himself the same beautiful plumage. Supposing that the Swan's splendid white color arose from his washing in the water in which he swam, the Raven left the altars in the neighborhood where he picked up his living, and took up residence in the lakes and pools. But cleansing his feathers as often as he would, he could not change their color, while through want of food he perished.
Change of habit cannot alter Nature.
乌鸦非常羡慕天鹅洁白的羽毛。他猜想天鹅一定是经常洗澡，羽毛才变得如此洁白无 瑕。于是，他毅然离开了他赖以生存的祭坛，来到江湖边。他天天洗刷自己的羽毛，不但一 点都没洗白，反而因缺少食物饥饿而死。
这故事是说，人的本性不会随着生活方式的改变而改变。
The Goat and the Goatherd 山羊与牧羊人
A GOATHERD had sought to bring back a stray goat to his flock. He whistled and sounded his horn in vain; the straggler paid no attention to the summons. At last the Goatherd threw a stone, and breaking its horn, begged the Goat not to tell his master. The Goat replied, "Why, you silly fellow, the horn will speak though I be silent."
Do not attempt to hide things which cannot be hid.
很多山羊被牧羊人赶到羊圈里。有一只山羊不知在吃什么好东西，单独落在后面。牧羊 人拿起一块石头扔了过去，正巧打断了山羊的一只角。牧羊人吓得请求山羊不要告诉主人， 山羊说：“即使我不说，又怎能隐瞒下去呢？我的角已断了，这是十分明显的事实。”
这故事说明，明显的罪状是无法隐瞒的。
The Miser守财奴
A MISER sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."
有个守财奴变卖了他所有的家产，换回了金块，并秘密地埋在一个地方。他每天走去看 看他的宝藏。有个在附近放羊的牧人留心观察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿走了。 守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后， 说道：“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。去拿一 块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。这样与你拥有 真正的金块效果没什么不同。依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。”
这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。
The Wolf and the Lamb 狼与小羊
WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf , "You feed in my pasture."

I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."
The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
一只小羊在河边喝水，狼见到后，便想找一个名正言顺的借口吃掉他。于是他跑到上游，恶狠狠地说小羊把河水搅浑浊了，使他喝不到清水。小羊回答说，他仅仅站在河边喝水，并且又在下游，根本不可能把上游的水搅浑。狼见此计不成，又说道：“我父亲去年被你骂过。”小羊说，那时他还没有出生。狼对他说：“不管你怎样辩解，反正我不会放过 你。”
这说明，对恶人做任何正当的辩解也是无效的。
The Bat and the Weasels蝙蝠与黄鼠狼
A BAT who fell upon the ground and was caught by a Weasel pleaded to be spared his life. The Weasel refused, saying that he was by nature the enemy of all birds. The Bat assured him that he was not a bird, but a mouse, and thus was set free. Shortly afterwards the Bat again fell to the ground and was caught by another Weasel, whom he likewise entreated not to eat him. The Weasel said that he had a special hostility to mice. The Bat assured him that he was not a mouse, but a bat, and thus a second time escaped.
It is wise to turn circumstances to good account.
蝙蝠掉落在地上，被黄鼠狼叼去，他请求饶命。黄鼠狼说绝不会放过他，自己生来痛恨鸟类。蝙蝠说他是老鼠，不是鸟，便被放了。后来蝙蝠又掉落了下来，被另一只黄鼠狼叼住，他再三请求不要吃他。这只黄鼠狼说他恨一切鼠类。蝙蝠改口说自己是鸟类，并非老 鼠，又被放了。这样，蝙蝠两次改变了自己的名字，终于死里逃生。
这故事说明，我们遇事要随机应变方能避免危险。

AN ASS having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.
驴子听见蚱蜢唱歌，被美妙动听的歌声所打动，自己也想能发出同样悦耳动听的声音，便 羡慕地问他们吃些什么，才能发出如此美妙的声音来。蚱蜢答道：“吃露水。”驴子便也只吃露水，没多久就饿死了。
这个故事告诉人们不要企望非份之物
