双语英语故事:风雨中的雄鹰 The Eagle in a Storm

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?

The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm.While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it.

The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher.It rises on the winds that bring the storm.

When the storms of life come upon us-and all of us will experience them-we can rise above them by setting our belief that we can make it.The storms do not have to overcome us.We can allow our inner power to lift us above them.

We can enable ourselves to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.

Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.

双语英语故事:风雨中的雄鹰

你知道吗？鹰在暴风雨爆发之前就知道暴风雨要来了。

鹰会飞到一个很高的地方，等待着暴风雨的来临。当暴风雨袭来的时候，它会展开翅膀，这样暴风就可以把它拖起，将它置于暴雨之上。当暴风雨肆虐的时候，鹰已经翱翔于暴雨之上了。

鹰没有躲避暴风雨，它只是利用暴风雨让它飞得更高，它飞翔在带来暴风雨的飓风之上。

当生活中的暴风雨降临的时候——这是我们每个人都要经历的——可以坚定我们的必胜信念，这样我们就可以凌驾于暴风雨之上。暴风雨并不一定会摧毁我们，反而我们内部的能量可以让我们凌驾于暴风雨之上。

在生活中，我们可以驾驭那些带来疾病、灾难、失败、失望的暴风雨。我们可以翱翔在暴风雨之上。

请记住，把你压垮的不是生活中的重担，而是我们对待它们的 态度。
