演说的艺术(英文版)
在这个世界上,有很多人意识到自己因这样或那样的缺陷和不足导致无法成功,比如有人承认自己智商不高,有人认为自己情商不够,有人确定自己能力不行,还有人觉得自己运气不佳……但是却很少有人承认自己不会说话,更难以相信自己不成功或实现不了梦想的原因之一就是——“不会在公众面前说话”……有美国著名评论家在描述《演说的艺术》一书作者时,这样描述过一番令人震撼的场景:虽然美国大城市有四成多人处于失业状态,需要靠救济生活,可当晚仍有两千多人被一份广告所吸引,涌向宾夕法尼亚饭店。原来,他们是来听一场戴尔·卡耐基作家所做的最现代、最实用的“为人处世技巧”的讲座。这一讲座每个季度都在纽约举办,而且是场场爆满,人数多得数不过来,其中很多人都是商界和技术领域的专业人士。原因在哪里呢?读读这本读起来一点都不难的书吧。答案就在眼前。Sidetracked
If middle school were a race, Joseph Friedman wouldn't even be in last place—he'd be on the sidelines. With an overactive mind and phobias of everything from hard-boiled eggs to gargoyles, he struggles to understand his classes, let alone his fellow classmates. So he spends most of his time avoiding school bully Charlie Kastner and hiding out in the Resource Room, a safe place for misfit kids like him. But then, on the first day of seventh grade, two important things happen. First, his Resource Room teacher encourages (i.e., practically forces) him to join the school track team, and second, he meets Heather, a crazy-fast runner who isn't going to be pushed around by Charlie Kastner or anybody else. With a new friend and a new team, Joseph finds himself off the sidelines and in the race (quite literally) for the first time. Is he a good runner? Well, no, he's terrible. But the funny thing about running is, once you're in the race, anything can happen.The Moon and Sixpence 月亮与六便士(VI)(英文版)
