［佳作介绍］克林顿的人性魅力
[color=deeppink][fly]比尔克林顿的《我的人生》能登上全美畅销榜是有一定理由的。[/fly]原来只被他的年轻能力所感染，读过他的自传后真的被他的人性魅力所打动，对他的政治传奇只是粗粗略过，也许应了一句话：
看小人物有无大志，看大人物小节如何
以下内容主要摘录主要是在他从政之前的部分，能打动我心或有同感的一些生活感想
致谢
To my mother, who gave me a love of life To Hillary, who gave me a life of love
To Chelsea, who gave joy and meaning to it all
And to the memory of my grandfather, who taught me to look up to people others looked down on, because we’re not so different after all
读过的一本书
How to Get Control of Your Time and Your Life, by Alan Lakein. The book’s main point was the necessity of listing short-, medium-, and long-term life goals, then categorizing them in order of their importance
读过这本书后所列出的最重要的人生理想，其中之一导致了我的人生这本书的诞生
I wanted to be a good man, have a good marriage and children, have good friends, make a successful political life, and write a great book
可怜的遗腹子
He drowned, only twenty-eight years old, married two years and eight months, only seven months of which he had spent with Mother
幸运的孩子
I came to realize how fortunate I had been. For all their own demons, my grandparents and my mother always made me feel I was the most important person in the world to them. Most children will make it if they have just one person who makes them feel that way. I had three
人生感想
I learned a lot from the stories my uncle, aunts, and grandparents told me: that no one is perfect but most people are good; that people can’t be judged only by their worst or weakest moments; that harsh judgments can make hypocrites of us all; that a lot of life is just showing up and hanging on; that laughter is often the best, and sometimes the only, response to pain. Perhaps most important, I learned that everyone has a story—of dreams and nightmares, hope and heartache, love and loss, courage and fear, sacrifice and selfishness. All my life I’ve been interested in other people’s stories. I’ve wanted to know them, understand them, feel them. When I grew up and got into politics, I always felt the main point of my work was to give people a chance to have better stories
职业理想1
Much has been made of that brief encounter and its impact on my life. My mother said she knew when I came home that I was determined to go into politics
职业理想2
But deep down I probably felt as Abraham Lincoln did when he wrote as a young man, “I will study and get ready, and perhaps my chance will come
职业理想3
In my sixteenth year I decided I wanted to be in public life as an elected official. I loved music and thought I could be very good, but I knew I would never be John Coltrane or Stan Getz. I was interested in medicine and thought I could be a fine doctor, but I knew I would never be Michael DeBakey. But I knew I could be great in public service. I was fascinated by people, politics, and policy, and I thought I could make it without family wealth, or connections, or establishment southern positions on race and other issues. Of course it was improbable, but isn’t that what America is all about?
强烈同感
I started crying during the speech and wept for a good while after Dr. King finished. He had said everything I believed, far better than I ever could. More than anything I ever experienced, except perhaps the power of my grandfather’s example, that speech steeled my determination to do whatever I could for the rest of my life to make Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream come true
妈妈教导的处世哲学
It was she who taught me to get up every day and keep going; to look for the best in people even when they saw the worst in me; to be grateful for every day and greet it with a smile; to believe I could do or be anything I put my mind to if I were willing to make the requisite effort; to believe that, in the end, love and kindness would prevail over cruelty and selfishness.
社会价值观公平和歧视
Although our university has from the beginning been open to people of all faiths, and one of the greatest Georgetown presidents, Father Patrick Healy, was from 1874 to 1882 the first African-American president of a predominantly white university, the Yard was all male, almost all Catholic, and all white.
