假如你已经找到工作，并且有了一个良好的开端，我对你的建议就是：要志存高远。
assuming that"假定……"。例如：Assuming that there is no such person，you have a serious problem.假设没有这么个人，那你的问题就严重了。
B The concerns which faiI are those which have scattered their capitaI，which means that they have scattered their brains aIso.
失败的企业是那些分散了资源，因而意味着分散了精力的企业。
本句的骨干结构为：The concerns……are those……。
C To summarize what I have said：aim for the highest；never enter a bar room；do not touch Iiquor，or if at aII onIy at meaIs；never specuIate；never indorse beyond your surpIus cash fund；concentrate；put aII your eggs in one basket，and watch that basket；expenditure aIways with in revenue；IastIy，be not impatient，for as Emerson says，"no one can cheat you out of uItimate success but yourseIves."
我把所说的话归纳如下：要志在顶峰；千万不要涉足酒吧，不要沾酒，或者仅在用餐时喝点酒；千万不要投机；签署支付的款项时，千万不要超过盈余的现金储备；集中精力；把所有鸡蛋放进一只篮子并照管好那只篮子；支出永远小于收入；最后，不要失去耐心，因为正如爱默生所说：“除了你自己以外，没有人能哄骗你离开最后的成功。”
本句话虽然长，但是作为总结性的语言却显得文采卓越，作文中可以借鉴。

Last week，my granddaughter started kindergarten，and，as is conventional，I wished her success.I was lying.What I actually wish for her is failure.I believe in the power of failure.
[A]Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do，or doing something correctly the first time，which can often be a probIematical victory.First-time success is usually a fluke.First-time failure，by contrast，is expected；it is the natural order of things.
Failure is how we learn.I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column.Each week I am aware that one column is going to be the worst column of the week.I don't set out to write it；I try my best every day.[B]Still，every week，one column is inferior to the others，sometimes spectacuIarIy so.
I have learned to cherish that column.A successful column usually means that I am treading on familiar ground，going with the tricks that work，preaching to the choir or dressing up popular sentiments in fancy words.Often in my inferior columns，I am trying to pull off something I've never done before，something I'm not even sure can be done.
My younger daughter is a trapeze artist.She spent three years putting together an act.She did it successfully for years with the Cirque du Soleil.There was no reason for her to change the act-but she did anyway.[C]She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored；and if she was bored，there was no point in subjecting her body to all that stress.So she changed the act.She risked failure and profound public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.And if she can do that 15 feet in the air，we all should be able to do it.
My granddaughter is a perfectionist，probably too much of one.She will feel her failures，and I will want to comfort her.But I will also，I hope，remind her of what she learned，and how she can do whatever it is better next time.I probably won't tell her that failure is a good thing，because that's not a lesson you can learn when you're five.I hope I can tell her，though，that it's not the end of the world.Indeed，with luck，it is the beginning.

A Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do，or doing something correctly the first time，which can often be a problematical victory.
成功只是证明你能够做你已经知道自己会做的事情，或是第一次就能正确地做某件事情，而这通常是一次有问题的成功。
本句话中出现两个that引导的从句，但第一个that引导的是宾语从句，第二个引导的是定语从句。
B StiII，every week，one coIumn is inferior to the others，sometimes spectacuIarIy so.
但每周都还是会有一个专栏比其他的差，有时候差距还挺大。
be inferior to劣于，次于。例如：Its expression in China is inferior to that in abroad.它在中国的表现远不如在国外成熟。
C She said she was no Ionger Iearning anything new and she was bored；and if she was bored，there was no point in subjecting her body to aII that stress.
她说，她没有再学到新东西，腻烦了。既然她已经腻烦了，继续让她的躯体承受那些压力也就不再有任何意义。
here was no point in doing sth.做……没有意义。例如：There's no point in saying whose fault it was，because we can't do anything about it now.现在说是谁的错已经没有意义了，因为我们已经不能改变什么。

一个人如果不善于通过阅读以形成自己丰富的精神世界，那么这样的人是软弱的。因为他的脑子是饥饿的，提供不了生存的动力。肚子饿了，可以通过食物填补。脑子饿了，就要通过阅读给养。因此，如果你不愿成为无知的人，那就别让你的脑子饿着。

If you are hungry，what do you do？Grab a piece of your favorite meal and stay quiet after that？Just like your stomach，even your mind is hungry.But it never lets you know，because you keep it busy thinking about your dream lover，favorite star and many such absurd things.So it silently began to heed to your needs and never let itself grow.When mind Iooses its freedom to grow，creativity gets a full stop.[A]This might be the reason why we all sometimes think"What happens next？""Why can't I think？""Why am I always given the difficult problems？"Well this is the aftermath of our own karma of using our brain for thinking of not-so-worthy things.Hunger of the mind can be actually satiated through extensive reading.
