When Henry ford decided to produce his famous v-8 motor,he chose to build an engine with the entire 0
When Henry ford decided to produce his famous v-8 motor,he chose to build an engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block,and instructed his engineers to produce a design in one for the engine.The design was placed on paper,but the engineers agreed,to a man,that it was simply impossible to cast an eight-cylinder engine-block in one piece.
Ford said,“Produce it anyway.”
“But,” they replied,“It’s impossible!”
“Go ahead.” Ford commanded,“And stay on the job until you succeed,no matter how much time is required.”
The engineers went ahead.There was nothing else for them to do,if they were to remain on the ford staff.Six months passed and nothing happened.Another six months passed,and still nothing happened.The engineers tried every conceivable plan to carry out the orders,but the thing seemed out of the question:“impossible!”
At the end of the year ford checked with his engineers,and again they informed him they had found no way to carry out his orders.
“go right head,” said ford,“I want it,and I’ll have it.”
They went ahead,and then,as if by a stroke of magic,the secret was discovered.
The ford determination had won once more!
This story may not be described with minute accuracy,but the sum and substance of it is correct.Deduce from it,you who wish to think and grow rich,the secret of the ford millions,if you can.You’ll not have to look very far.
Henry ford was successful,because he understood and applied the principles of success.One of these is desire:knowing out the lines in which the secret of his stupendous achievement have been described.If you can do this,if you can lay your finger on the particular group of principles which made Henry ford rich,you can equal his achievements in almost any calling for which you are suited.
亨利福特在要制造有名的v8汽缸引擎汽车时,曾指示他手下的工程师着手设计一种引擎,要把八个汽缸全放在一起.设计的纸上作业完成了,但是工程师们都异口同声地跟福特说,“要把八个汽缸全放在一起,压根是不可能.”

“继续做,”福特说.“我要八汽缸引擎,就一定要做到!”
他们继续努力,然后仿佛如有神助似的,做法出笼了.
福特的决心又打赢了一仗.

亨利福特了解成功的原则,也运用了这些原则,所以他成功了.这些原则中,有一项就是渴望：知道自己要做的是什么.阅读这篇文章时,请牢记这则福特的故事,时时在字里行间寻找他了不起的原因.只要你能做到,能正确无误地指认出福特所运用的原则,就几乎可以在适合自己的任何行业里,和他一样地出类拔萃.
急求读书改变人生的英文例子，就名人故事
很简单的：
凿壁偷光
汉朝时，少年时的匡衡，非常勤奋好学。
由于家里很穷，所以他白天必须干许多活，挣钱糊口。只有晚上，他才能坐下来安心读书。不过，他又买不起蜡烛，天一黑，就无法看书了。匡衡心痛这浪费的时间，内心非常痛苦。
他的邻居家里很富有，一到晚上好几间屋子都点起蜡烛，把屋子照得通亮。匡衡有一天鼓起勇气，对邻居说：“我晚上想读书，可买不起蜡烛，能否借用你们家的一寸之地呢？”邻居一向瞧不起比他们家穷的人，就恶毒地挖苦说：“既然穷得买不起蜡烛，还读什么书呢!”匡衡听后非常气愤，不过他更下定决心，一定要把书读好。
匡衡回到家中，悄悄地在墙上凿了个小洞，邻居家的烛光就从这洞中透过来了。他借着这微弱的光线，如饥似渴地读起书来，渐渐地把家中的书全都读完了。
匡衡读完这些书，深感自己所掌握的知识是远远不够的，他想继续看多一些书的愿望更加迫切了。
附近有个大户人家，有很多藏书。一天，匡衡卷着铺盖出现在大户人家门前。他对主人说：“请您收留我，我给您家里白干活不报酬。只是让我阅读您家的全部书籍就可以了。”主人被他的精神所感动，答应了他借书的要求。
匡衡就是这样勤奋学习的，后来他做了汉元帝的丞相，成为西汉时期有名的学者。
[篇后一语]
这篇寓言写了匡衡少年时读书的两件事，一件是凿壁偷光，一件是借书苦读。他赞扬了匡衡勇于战胜艰苦的条件，勤奋的读书的精神；为我们树立刻苦读书的好榜样。

巴金的读书方法
著名作家巴金的读书方法十分奇特，因为他是在没有书本的情况下进行的。读书而无书的确算得天下一奇了，这到底是怎么回事呢?巴金说：“我第二次住院治疗，每天午睡不到一小时，就下床坐在小沙发上，等候护士同志两点钟来量体温。我坐着，一动也不动，但并没有打瞌睡。我的脑子不肯休息。它在回忆我过去读过的一些书，一些作品，好像它想在我的记忆力完全衰退之前，保留下一点美好的东西。”
原来他的读书法就是静坐在那里回忆曾经读过的书。这样有许多好处：
(1)不受条件限制，可以充分利用时间。巴金列举了两个例子：一个是苏联卫国战争期间，列宁格勒长期被德军包围的时候，有一位少女在日记中写着“某某型，《安娜·卡列尼娜》”一类的句子。当时没有电，也没有蜡烛，整个城市实行灯火管制，她不能读书，而是在黑暗中静坐回忆书中的情节。托尔斯泰的小说帮助她度过了那些恐怖的黑夜。另一个例子是他自己在十年内乱中的亲身经历。他说：“‘文革’期间要是造反派允许我写日记，允许我照自己的意思写日记，我的日记中一定写满了书名。人们会奇怪：我的书房给贴了封条，加上锁，封闭了十年，我从哪里找到那些书来阅读?他们忘了人的脑子里有一个大仓库，里面储存着别人拿不走的东西。”这两个事例说明，在一切不具备正常读书条件的情况下都可以“读书”。
(2)温故而知新。通过回忆，将过去读过的书拿出来一点点地咀嚼，就象牛反刍一样，能进一步消化吸收。每回忆一次都会有新的理解，新的认识，新的收获。
(3)能够不断地从已读过的书中吸取精神力量。巴金说：“我现在跟疾病作斗争，也从各种各样的作品中得到鼓励……即使在病中我没有精神阅读新的作品，过去精神财富的积累也够我这有限余生消耗的。一直到死，人都需要光和热。”

顾炎武自督读书
“天下兴亡，匹夫有责。”这个家喻户晓的名言，是由明末清初的爱国主义思想家、著名学者顾炎武最先提出的。
顾炎武自幼勤学。他6岁启蒙，10岁开始读史书、文学名著。11岁那年，他的祖父蠡源公要求他读完《资治通鉴》，并告诫说：“现在有的人图省事，只浏览一下《纲目》之类的书便以为万事皆了了，我认为这是不足取的。”这番话使顾炎武领悟到，读书做学问是件老老实实的事，必须认真忠实地对待它。顾炎武勤奋治学，他采取了“自督读书”的措施：首先，他给自己规定每天必须读完的卷数；其次，他限定自己每天读完后把所读的书抄写一遍。他读完《资治通鉴》后，一部书就变成了两部书；再次，要求自己每读一本书都要做笔记，写下心得体会。他的一部分读书笔记，后来汇成了著名的《日知录》一书；最后，他在每年春秋两季，都要温习前半年读过的书籍，边默诵，边请人朗读，发现差异，立刻查对。他规定每天这样温课200页，温习不完，决不休息。

毛主席怎样读书？
特殊爱好
几十年来，毛主席一直很忙，可他总是挤出时间，哪怕是分分秒秒，也要用来看书学习。他的中南海故居，简直是书天书地，卧室的书架上，办公桌、饭桌、茶几上，到处都是书，床上除一个人躺卧的位置外，也全都被书占领了。
为了读书，毛主席把一切可以利用的时间都用上了。在游泳下水之前活动身体的几分钟里，有时还要看上几句名人的诗词。游泳上来后，顾不上休息，就又捧起了书本。连上厕所的几分钟时间，他也从不白白地浪费掉。一部重刻宋代淳熙本《昭明文选》和其他一些书刊，就是利用这时间，今天看一点，明天看一点，断断续续看完的。
毛主席外出开会或视察工作，常常一带向箱子书。途中列车震荡颠簸，他全然不顾，总是一手拿着放大镜，一手按着书页，阅读不辍。到了外地，同在北京一样，床上、办公桌上、茶几上、饭桌上都摆放着书，一有空闲就看起来。
毛主席晚年虽重病在身，仍不废阅读。他重读了解放前出版的从延安带到北京的一套精装《鲁迅全集》及其他许多书刊。
有一次，毛主席发烧到39度多，医生不准他看书。他难过地说，我一辈子爱读书，现在你们不让我看书，叫我躺在这里，整天就是吃饭、睡觉，你们知道我是多么地难受啊!工作人员不得已，只好把拿走的书又放在他身边，他这才高兴地笑了。
认真地学，反复地读
毛主席从来反对那种只图书、毛主席从来反对那种只图快、不讲效果的读书方法。他在读韩昌黎诗文全集时，除少数篇章外，都一篇篇仔细琢磨，认真钻研，从词汇、句读、章节到全文意义，哪一方面也不放过。通过反复诵读和吟咏，韩集的大部分诗文他都能流利地背诵。《西游记》、《红楼梦》、《水浒传》、《三国演义》等小说，他从小学的时候就看过，到了六十年代又重新看过。他看过的《红楼梦》的不同版本差不多有十种以上。一部《昭明文选》，他上学时讯，五真正十代读，六十年代读，到了七十年代还读过好几次。他批注的版本，现存的就有三种。
一些马列、哲学方面的书籍，他反复读的遍数就更多了。《联共党史》及李达的《社会学大纲》，他各读了十遍。《共产党宣言》、《资本论》、《列宁选集》等等，他都反复研读过。许多章节和段落还作了批注和勾划。
不动笔墨不看书
几十年来，毛主席每阅读一本书，一篇文章，都在重要的地方划上圈、杠、点等各种符号，在书眉和空白的地方写上许多批语。

英文版名人励志故事篇3：汉斯·克里斯蒂安·安徒生
Born on April 2, 1805, in Odense, Denmark, Andersen was an emotional, yet imaginative, child. His father, a poor shoemaker, died in 1816. With a mother who was very superstitious and unable to read or write, the boy received little education as a child.
安徒生1805年4月2日出生于丹麦欧登塞，他是一个多愁善感而富于 想象力 的孩子。他的父亲是一个贫困的鞋匠，在1816年去世。由于母亲非常迷信而且不会读书写字，这个男孩小时候没受过什么 教育 。
Andersen traveled to Copenhagen. There, he hoped to become an actor or singer. He was lucky enough to spend some time with the Royal Theater, but when his voice changed, he had to leave. Luckily, one of the directors helped him by arranging his education。
14岁，安徒生前往哥本哈根。他希望能在那儿成为一名演员或歌手。他有幸能在皇家剧院待了一段时间，但当他变声以后，他不得不离开。幸运的是，一位导演帮助他，为他安排接受教育。
Andersen gained admission to the University of Copenhagen in 1828, and his literary career began soon afterwards. He hoped to achieve success with poems and plays, and underestimated the kind of stories which have made him famous. Though not particularly fond of children, he had a gift for entertaining them. This led a friend to suggest he write down the stories he invented.
1828年安徒生获准进入哥本哈根大学学习，随后他的文学创作生涯很快就开始了。他原本希望能在诗和戏剧的领域里获得成功，而低估了后来使他成名的那类故事。虽然他不是特别喜欢孩子，却有使孩童快乐的天赋。这一点促使一位朋友建议他写下自己创造的故事。
Many of Andersen's tales are based on folklore, and many are products of his own imagination. All of them are told in a humorous and informal style that children loved from the start. Few serious critics, however, took notice of them when they first appeared.
安徒生的很多故事是以民间 传说 为根据，也有很多是他自己想象力的产物。所有的故事都以孩子们一听就喜欢的诙谐和口语体讲述。然而这些作品最初问世时，几乎没有严肃的评论家注意到它们。
Before his death in 1875, Andersen regularly traveled around Europe, and was enthusiastically welcomed everywhere he went. Because he had always wanted to be famous, he worked hard to gain a reputation in European literary circles. Being a rather vain man, he complained in "The Fairy Tale of My Life" one of three autobiographies he wrote, that people were not interested in his "serious" writing.
安徒生在1875年去世前，定期游历欧洲各地，所到之处他都受到了热烈的欢迎。由于安徒生长久以来一直渴望出名，于是他发奋工作以求能在欧洲文坛获得声望。安徒生是个颇为自命不凡的人，在他所著的三本自传之一的《我童话般的人生》一书中，他抱怨人们对他“严肃”的作品不感兴趣。
Nowadays, of course, Hans Christian Andersen is a household name. Whether he would have liked it or not, millions of children and adults will always be grateful for the magic his stories have brought to their lives.

名人励志的简短英语故事篇2：海伦middot;凯勒
She fought for women's right, crusaded for the causes of workers, promoted equality for minorities, and championed the underprivileged and the oppressed. She also earned several prestigious awards from countries as diverse as Japan, Brazil, and Lebanon. An impressive list of achievements for any human, all this was accomplished by a woman who was blind and deaf.
她为女权而战、投身工人事业、促进弱势团体平等权利、支持受苦和受压迫的人。她还荣获日本、巴西、黎巴嫩等国颁发的几项荣誉大奖。对任何人来说，这都是让人印象深刻的成就，然而这是由一位双眼失明双耳失聪的女人取得的。
Helen Keller was born a healthy child in 1880 in Alabama. Stricken by illness at the tender age of nineteen months, Helen lost her ability to see, hear, and speak. Growing up unable to comprehend the world around her, Helen became wild and unruly, until her parents found help.
1880年，海伦middot;凯勒在美国的阿拉巴马州出生时是个健康的孩子。可在她19个月大时，她得了一场大病，海伦从此失去了视觉、听觉和说话的能力。在成长的过程中，她无法了解周围的一切，变得狂躁而难以管教，最后她的父母只好求助于他人。
They contacted Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, the famous inventor and teacher of the deaf, who introduced them to an institute for the blind in Boston, Massachusetts. A student there, Annie Sullivan, was asked to help. Annie would later become known as the "Miracle Worker."
他们和著名的发明家、聋哑教师亚力山大middot;贝尔博士取得联系之后，被介绍到一家位于马萨诸塞州波士顿的盲人机构。该机构的学生安妮middot;苏利文应邀提供帮助。她就是后来那位著名的“奇迹创造者”。
Annie Sullivan taught Helen how to connect objects with letters by spelling words into Helen's hands. Helen's breakthrough came when Annie held her hand under a water pump while spelling "water" into her other hand repeatedly. Helen suddenly understood, and from then on progressed by leaps and bounds.

Having mastered both the manual and Braille alphabets, Helen became proficient in reading and writing, and began learning how to speak in 1890. Helen entered Radcliffe College and, assisted by Annie Sullivan, graduated cum laude in 1904. She was the first blind-deaf person ever to graduate from college.

Helen Keller spent the rest of her life as a writer, lecturer, and advocate for the deaf and blind and other disadvantaged groups. She traveled to numerous countries on behalf of the disabled, and founded the Helen Keller Endowment Fund for the American Foundation for the Blind in 1930. She died on June 1, 1968, an outstanding example of the unconquerable human spirit.

名人励志的简短英语故事篇3：凯瑟琳middot;格拉罕
It could safely be said of Katherine Graham that few women had a greater infulence on 20th-centllry American history. When she died at the age of 84, peop1e from all walks of life were swift and generous in their eulogies.
我们可以有把握地说，没有几个妇女像凯瑟琳middot;格拉罕对20世纪美国历史有这么大的影响。她84岁去世时，各界人士纷纷赶往悼念，表示敬意。
Katherine Meyer was born in 1917 to a wealthy and fami1y. Her father was a multimillionaire who gave up business and government service to buy the Washington Post in 1933. Katherine shared his love of journalism, and worked on the paper's editing desk for a few years before getting married.
凯瑟琳middot;迈耶 1917年出生在一个富裕的特权家庭。她的父亲是一位大富豪，他放弃了工作和政府部门的职位，在1933年买下了境况不佳的《华盛顿邮报》。凯瑟琳承袭了父亲对新闻的热爱，婚前在这家报社的编辑部工作了数年。
Her husband, Phil Graham, was a bright young lawyer who took over at the Post in 1945. But Phil suffered from manic depression later, which gradually got worse, culminating in his suicide when Katherine was 46. Suddenly, she found herself in control of the Post.
她的丈夫菲尔middot;格拉罕曾是一位很出色的年轻律师，他1945年接管了华盛顿邮报。但后来他被躁狂抑郁症所折磨，病情日渐恶化，最后在凯瑟琳46岁时他自杀身亡。突然间，她感到管理邮报的责任落在了自己身上。
Graham took over the day-to-day running of the paper Skeptics who had doubted her ability to make a success of it were dumbfounded as her enthusiasm and tenacity proved them wrong.
格拉罕接管了邮报每日的运作。当她，以热忱和执着证明了那些曾怀疑她能力不足的人是错误的时候，他们都哑口无言。
Graham was never afraid of making a courageous decision. Against the advice of the Post's lawyers, she sided with her editors and published the Pentagon Papers. The papers were top secret documents about the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. She later remained steadfast in the face of government pressure not to pursue the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.
格拉罕从来不怕果断地作决定。她不听从邮报律师们的劝告，而支持她手下的编辑们，发表了《五角大楼文件》，这些文件是有关美国的最高机密文件。即使面临政府施加的压力，要她不要再追究后来迫使尼克松总统下台的水门事件，她始终立场坚定。
Graham handed over the control of the Post to her son in 1991, when she was 74 years old. By that time, she was often being described as the most powerful woman in America. Whether or not that was true, few would disagree with the assessment of one of her many admirers, that without her, Washington "would have been a much less civilized place."
1991年，葛拉罕74岁时，将掌管邮报的权力移交给了她的儿子。那时，她常被形容为美国最有影响的女人。无论这种说法是否正确，相信多数人都会认同她众多仰慕者之一给予的评价：没有她，华盛顿“就会是远不如现在文明的地方”。

名人成功故事英文篇一：罗纳尔多: 世界球王
Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima was born on 22 September 1976 in a poor suburb of Rio de Janeiro. Like most of his childhood friends, Ronaldo began his soccer career playing barefoot in the streets of his neighborhood. At the age of 14, he joined S?Cristovo soccer club and only two years later became the star of Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte scoring a total of 58 goals in 60 matches and earning himself a reputation for his explosive pace and outstanding finishing skills. His goal-scoring record and unusual agility led him to be included in the Brazilian World Cup winning team the following year. After the World Cup, many top European football clubs were trying to sign him. Many people, including Brazilian football legend Pelé, referred to him as the most promising footballer of his generation.
Since his transfer to Dutch team PSV Eindhoven, Ronaldo s biography is one of success after success. Two Copa América s, a UEFA Cup, a Dutch Cup, a Spanish League Cup, and two awards as best player in the world, all in the space of two years, are some of Ronaldo s impressive achievements. On arrival to Inter-Milan in 1997, Ronaldo became the idol of the local fans who refer to him as “il Fenomeno.”
Since the 98 World Cup he has suffered two serious knee injuries that have severely limited his appearances. Just when people began to wonder whether Ronaldo would be able to continue with his football career, he proved to the world that he still could play. In the World Cup held in Korea and Japan, the magical striker won the Golden Shoe award and tied Pelé's Brazilian record for career World Cup goals with 12.

When Henry ford decided to produce his famous v-8 motor, he chose to build an engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block, and instructed his engineers to produce a design in one for the engine. The design was placed on paper, but the engineers agreed, to a man, that it was simply impossible to cast an eight-cylinder engine-block in one piece.
Ford said, “Produce it anyway.”
“But,” they replied, “It’s impossible!”
“Go ahead.” Ford commanded, “And stay on the job until you succeed, no matter how much time is required.”
The engineers went ahead. There was nothing else for them to do, if they were to remain on the ford staff. Six months passed and nothing happened. Another six months passed, and still nothing happened. The engineers tried every conceivable plan to carry out the orders, but the thing seemed out of the question:“impossible!”
At the end of the year ford checked with his engineers, and again they informed him they had found no way to carry out his orders.
“go right head,” said ford, “I want it, and I’ll have it.”
They went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke of magic, the secret was discovered.
The ford determination had won once more!
