以下是小編整理的哲理類英語美文欣賞： 嘗試不同，希望對你有所感觸。

　　When we first read the following story, we had justbegun teaching a course called "The Million DollarForum," a course designed to teach people toaccelerate their income up to levels of a milliondollars a year or more. Early on we discovered peopleget locked into a rut of trying harder without tryingsmarter. Trying harder doesn't always work.Sometimes we need to do something radicallydifferent to achieve greater levels of success. Weneed to break out of our paradigm prisons, ourhabit patterns and our comfort zones.

　　I'm sitting in a quiet room at the Milcroft Inn, a peaceful little place hidden back among thepine trees about an hour out of Toronto. It's just past noon, late July, and I'm listening to thedesperate sounds of a life-or-death struggle going on a few feet away.

　　There's a small fly burning out the last of its short life's energies in a futile attempt to flythrough the glass of the windowpane. The whining wings tell the poignant story of the fly'sstrategy: Try harder.

　　But it's not working.

　　The frenzied effort offers no hope for survival. Ironically, the struggle is part of the trap. It isimpossible for the fly to try hard enough to succeed at breaking through the glass.Nevertheless, this little insect has staked its life on reaching its goal through raw effort anddetermination.

　　This fly is doomed. It will die there on the windowsill.

　　Across the room, ten steps away, the door is open. Ten seconds of flying time and this smallcreature could reach the outside world it seeks. With only a fraction of the effort now beingwasted, it could be free of this self-imposed trap. The breakthrough possibility is there. Itwould be so easy.

　　Why doesn't the fly another approach, something dramatically different? How did it get solocked in on the idea that this particular route and determined effort offer the most promisefor success? What logic is there in continuing until death to seek a breakthrough with more ofthe same?

　　No doubt this approach makes sense to the fly. Regrettably, it's an idea that will kill.

　　Trying harder isn't necessarily the solution to achieving more. It may not offer any real promisefor getting what you want out of life. Sometimes, in fact, it's a big part of the problem.

　　If you stake your hopes for a breakthrough on trying harder than ever, you may kill yourchances for success.
