为你读英语美文 · 往期回顾 | 第69期主播：严喆，John录制地点：柏林，2015年2月John McAuley是严喆在大连读本科时的外教。2015年，严喆前往柏林留学，当时定居香港的John到柏林游玩，在严喆的邀请下，John录制了这期节目The Daffodil Principle。这篇文章，是大学时，John推荐给严喆的。9年过去了，随着生活阅历的的增加，再次读起这篇文章，对“水仙花法则“有了更深的感触：Learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time—often just one baby step at a time—and learning to love the doing, learning to use the accumulation of time. When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.那就是，懂得向我们的目标迈进，只求一步一个脚印——懂通常一次就一小步——懂得去热爱正在做的事，懂得利用时间的积累。当我们把时间的碎片叠加，再加上每天的一点努力，我们会发现我们也能成就辉煌。我们也能改变这个世界。9年过去了，John 72岁，回到了纽约。他将再一次做客“为你读英语美文”，为我们带来美文，就在下期，敬请期待哦。The Daffodil Principle《水仙花法则》Several times my daughter had telephoned me to say, "Dad, you must come to see the daffodils before they are over. "I wanted to go, but it was a two-hour drive from Laguna to Lake Arrowhead.好几次了，我女儿打电话来说： “爸爸，你务必得在那些水仙花凋谢之前来看看它们。”我是想去，可从拉古娜到箭头湖要开两个小时的车。"I will come next Tuesday, "I promised, a little reluctantly, after her third call.“那我下周二去吧。”在她第三次打来电话时，我极不情愿地答应道。Next Tuesday dawned cold and rainy. Still, I had promised, and so I reluctantly drove there.到了那个周二，清晨很冷又下着雨，不过既然答应了， 我还是开车去了。When I finally walked into Carolyn's house, I was welcomed by the joyful sounds of happy children. I delightedly hugged and greeted my grandchildren.等我终于到了卡罗琳家，拥抱问候过我的外孙们，说:"Forget the daffodils, Carolyn! The road is invisible in the clouds and fog, there is nothing in the world except you and these children that I want to see badly enough to drive another inch! "“卡罗琳，别想那水仙了！天阴又有雾，路都看不清。这世上除了你和这些孩子，没有什么能让我为想去看他们再开一步车了！”My daughter smiled calmly and said, "We drive in this all the time, dad."女儿平静地笑着说：“爸爸，我们一直都在这种天气里开车 的呀！”"Well, you won't get me back on the road until it clears, and then I'm heading for home! "I told her.“那反正你甭想让我再开车上路了，除非天晴了，然后我就直接开车回家！”我重申道。"But first we're going to see the daffodils. It's just a few blocks," Carolyn said. "I'll drive. I'm used to this."“但首先我们要去看水仙花。就几个街区而已，”卡罗琳说。“我来开。我已经习惯了。”"Carolyn," I said, "please turn around."“卡罗琳，”说，“请你掉头回去。”"It's all right, dad, I promise. You will never forgive yourself if you miss this experience."“没事的，爸爸，我保证。如果你错过了这次经历，你永远不会原谅自己的。”After about 20 minutes, we turned onto a small gravel road and I saw a small church. On the far side of the church, I saw a hand-lettered sign that read, Daffodil Garden.大概过了 20分钟，我们转到了一条碎石小路上，我看到一个小教堂。在教堂的稍远一侧，我看见一个手写的牌子，上面写着：“水仙花园”。We got out of the car and each took a child's hand, and I followed Carolyn down the path. Then, as we turned a corner of the path, and I looked up and gasped. 我们走下车，一人领着一个孩子。我跟着卡罗琳顺小道而行， 转到小道的一角，我抬头一看，惊住了。Before me lay the most glorious sight. It looked as though someone had taken a great vat of gold and poured it over the mountain peak and its surrounding slopes. The flowers were planted in majestic, swirling patterns, great ribbons and swathes of deep orange, creamy white, lemon yellow, salmon pink, and saffron and butter yellow. Each different-colored variety was planted in large groups so that it swirled and flowed like its own river with its own unique hue. There were five acres of flowers.在我面前是极为壮观的景象，看上去仿佛有人把一大缸金子倾倒下来，覆盖了峰顶和山坡。那些花栽种成宏伟的漩涡图案——宽宽窄窄的条纹有很多颜色，有深橘、白、柠檬黄、橙红、番红和乳黄。每种不同色系的 多种颜色种植为一组，这样看上去每组都用自己独特的色调一圈 圈地在自己的河流中流淌。那有五亩花。"Who did this?" I asked Carolyn. “这是谁种的呢？”我问卡罗琳。"Just one woman," Carolyn answered. "She lives on the property. That's her home." Carolyn pointed to a well-kept A-frame house, small and modestly sitting in the midst of all that glory. We walked up to the house. On the patio, we saw a poster, said, "Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking”, that was the headline.“就一个女人，”卡罗琳回答， “她就以这片花为生。那是她的家。”卡罗琳指着一个整修得很好的A字形房子，在一片壮丽的景象当中，这房子看起来小而朴素。我走到房子跟前，在院子里我看到一张海报，标题是“答案我知道你要问的这些问题”。The first answer was a simple one. "50,000 bulbs," it read.第一个答案很简单，写着：“50,000株”。The second answer was, "One at a time, by one woman. Two hands, two feet, and very little brain."第二个答案是：“一次种一株，一个女人，两只手，两只脚，不需多动脑。”The third answer was, "Began in 1958."第三个答案是：“开始于1958年”For me, that moment was a life-changing experience. I thought of this woman whom I had never met, who, whom more than 35 years before, had begun—one bulb at a time—to bring her vision of beauty and joy to an obscure mountain top.对于我，那一刻是一次改变生活的经历。我在琢磨这个我从未谋面的女人，她在35年前，开始一次种一株——给她自己带来了美的景象和花满山顶的快乐。Planting one bulb at a time, year after year, this unknown woman had forever changed the world in which she lived. One day at a time, she had created something of extraordinary magnificence, beauty, and inspiration.就这样一次种一株，年复一年，这个不知名的女人永远地 改变了她所居住的世界，她创造了无法形容的壮丽、美好和感动。The principle her daffodil garden taught is one of the greatest principles of celebration. That is, learning to move toward our goals and desires one step at a time—often just one baby step at a time—and learning to love the doing, learning to use the accumulation of time.在这个水仙花园中得出的定律是值得庆祝的最伟大的定律之一。那就是，懂得向我们的目标迈进，只求一步一个脚印——懂通常一次就一小步——懂得去热爱正在做的事，懂得利用时间的积累。When we multiply tiny pieces of time with small increments of daily effort, we too will find we can accomplish magnificent things. We can change the world.当我们把时间的碎片叠加，再加上每天的一点努力，我们会发现我们也能成就辉煌。我们也能改变这个世界。"It makes me sad in a way," I admitted to Carolyn. " What might I have accomplished if I had thought of a wonderful goal thirty-five or forty years ago and had worked away at it ‘one bulb at a time' through all those years? Just think what I might have been able to achieve!"“ 这让我在某种意义上有点丧气。”我跟卡罗琳说，“ 如果我35年前有一个宏伟的目标，然后也像这样“一次种一株”地做下去，这些年我会有什么成就呢？想想我到底能做成什么！”My daughter summed up the message of the day in her usual direct way. "Start tomorrow," she said.女儿直截了当地总结了那天的收获。她说：“从明天开始。”She was right. It's so pointless to think of the lost hours of yesterdays. The way to make learning a lesson of celebration instead of a cause for regret is to only ask, "How can I put this to use today?"她是对的。追忆昨天失去的时光是毫无意义的。吸取成功经验，而非悔不当初的方法是只问：“我今天怎么过好今天？”Use the Daffodil Principle. 运用水仙花原理Stop waiting.....停止等待….Until your car or home is paid offUntil you get a new car or homeUntil your kids leave the houseUntil you go back to schoolUntil you finish schoolUntil you clean the houseUntil you organize the garageUntil you clean off your deskUntil you lose 10 lbs.Until you gain 10 lbs.Until you get marriedUntil you get a divorceUntil you have kidsUntil the kids go to schoolUntil you retireUntil summerUntil springUntil winterUntil fallUntil you die...直到你的车贷房贷还清直到你有了新车或新家直到你的孩子离开家直到你回到学校直到你完成学业直到你打扫完房子直到你整理好车库直到你把桌子清理干净直到你减掉10磅。直到你体重增加10磅。直到你结婚直到你离婚直到你有了孩子直到孩子们上学直到你退休直到夏天直到春天直到冬天直到秋天直到你逝去…There is no better time than right now to be happy.Happiness is a journey, not a destination.So work like you don't need money.Love like you've never been hurt.Dance like no one's watching.没有比现在更幸福的时刻。幸福是一段旅程，而不是目的地。所以像不需要钱一样工作。爱，就像你从未受过伤害。跳舞，就像没人在看一样。Wishing you a beautiful, daffodil day!愿你有一个美丽的水仙花日！▎背景音乐広橋真紀子 - Some Day My Prince Will Come広橋真紀子 - 花によせて石进 - 花的微笑特别感谢：严喆，后期制作：永清文章，音乐，图片非商业用途，版权归作者或版权方所有我们生活在世界各地，从事不同职业，和你分享我们喜欢的美文。我们的公众号是： “为你读英语美文”。

Ten years ago, Diego Maradona stunned the world as he arrived in the UAE to manage club team Al Wasl. In this series, Paul Radley, sportswriter for The National, and football correspondent John McAuley will be looking back at the time when Maradona mania arrived in the UAE. Subscribe to this five-part special to hear the story in full. Produced by Ayesha Khan and Arthur Eddyson.

In stark contrast to his gilded playing career, Diego Maradona never won a trophy as a manager. His spells in charge of teams were only ever brief, and often ended in turmoil. And yet those who played for him during his time in the UAE remember him with deep affection. They describe a manager full of empathy, warmth, and charisma, who would back them - even when all was lost. In Episode 4 of our podcast series, hosts John McAuley and Paul Radley hear from a number of players who were managed by Maradona at Al Wasl and Fujairah. The question to each of them was a simple one: what was it like to be coached by one of the most effervescent characters in all of sport? Subscribe to this five-part special to hear the story in full. Produced by Ayesha Khan and Arthur Eddyson.

Diego Maradona is, for many, the greatest footballer to have ever played the game. So what made him so good? In 1982, when aged 22, he moved from Boca Juniors to Barcelona for a world-record $7.6 million fee. During his two years at Camp Nou, Maradona was a constant thorn in the side of arch-rivals Real Madrid, even helping Barcelona defeat the old enemy in the 1983 Copa del Rey final. He would spend two spells at Boca, returning in 1995 following an ignominious exit from the World Cup the previous summer. Two years later, he brought down the curtain on his professional career with a 2-1 victory away to bitter rivals River Plate. That wasn't technically when Maradona hung up his boots, though. In 2011, he arrived in the UAE to manage Al Wasl, and was a regular on the 5-aside or 7-aside pitch. Apparently, he treated those games as anything but recreational. In Episode 3 of our podcast series looking at the Maradona's time in the country, hosts Paul Radley and John McAuley speak to a former opponent at Real Madrid, an ex-teammate at Boca, and even a close friend who was tasked with organising the weekly “friendly” matches in Dubai. True to form, they attest to the fact the World Cup winner could be a handful on and off the pitch. Subscribe to this five-part special to hear the story in full. Produced by Ayesha Khan and Arthur Eddyson.

Diego Maradona was a magnet for news throughout his career, and his relationship with the media rarely ran smooth. When he came to Dubai a decade ago to manage Al Wasl, the glare of the limelight might have been less harsh than it had been for him in Buenos Aires, Barcelona or Naples. And yet he still managed to find his way into scrapes. From kicking supporters of his own team, wading into the stands to remonstrate with opposition fans, and fostering fierce rivalries both near and far, Maradona frequently vented his fury. In Episode 2 of our podcast series looking at his time in the country, hosts Paul Radley and John McAuley speak to those tasked with trying to keep track of El Diego's escapades in Emirates. Subscribe to this five-part special to hear the story in full. Produced by Ayesha Khan and Arthur Eddyson.

It marks one of the most extraordinary developments in UAE sport, a moment that carried Emirati football beyond its borders and to the world. Ten years ago, in May 2011, Diego Maradona was announced as the new manager of Al Wasl, a Dubai-based club fourth in the nascent UAE Pro League. The previous summer, Maradona had coached Argentina at the World Cup in South Africa, aiming to lead his country to football's greatest prize, just as he did most famously as a player in 1986. Now he was appointed head coach at Wasl, a decorated club in the UAE top flight but without a trophy in four seasons. Maradona signed a two-year contract, promising to restore his new employers to former glory. It did not quite work out that way, but Fifa's joint player of the century would go on to make Dubai his home for the best part of the next decade. To commemorate that remarkable period, The National has created a podcast series entitled “Diego Maradona: The Dubai Years”, with insight from some of the people who knew best the colourful Argentine during his time here. In Episode 1, hosts Paul Radley and John McAuley detail the whirlwind moment Maradona was considered as Wasl manager, what it meant for UAE football, his arrival in the Emirates, and that first press conference in which the World Cup winner set the stage for what became a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Subscribe to this five-part special to hear the story in full. Produced by Ayesha Khan and Arthur Eddyson.

On our penultimate episode of 2020 we remember the life of Diego Maradona as John McAuley, from The National, joins us to reflect on his time coaching in the UAE and to also discuss the re-appointment of Bert van Marwijk as UAE national team coach. Plus we continue the reflective mood by casting our minds back to the Miracle of Hanoi - Filipino football's defining achievement - with two people who were in Hanoi, journalist Cedelf Tupas and captain of the Azkals that night Aly Borromeo.

First a camper, then summer staff and now Muskoka Woods Summer Camp Director, Paul Cade talks with John McAuley about stretching your boundaries in a safe environment builds into your life for years. 

How does being a guest and the staff at Muskoka Woods help shape a young man to become mayor? Long-time Muskoka Woods guest and then staff, Iain Lovatt joins John McAuley on the podcast where he shares how his time at Muskoka Woods shaped the way he approaches his current role as mayor of Whitchurch-Stouffville, a growing town of 50,000 located just 20 minutes north of Toronto.

When I first started this podcast my goal wasn’t to be an advertisement for Muskoka Woods. My goal was to find people who were living interesting lives and making interesting decisions. Naturally the low hanging fruit for me was to reach out to my friends. As I made my list of people I wanted to interview, there was a large number of friends from Muskoka Woods over the years who just happened to be living really interesting lives. I figured I would start with them and like anything you have in common with friends the subject of the camp came up – every time. Leading me to start calling this the Muskoka Woods Series. I thought it would be great to cap off the Muskoka woods series with the CEO of Muskoka woods John McAuley and have him speak to his own story but also the stories of the former staff members making an impact outside of camp. I’ve known Johnny for over 30 years now, he was my counsellor as well as an occasional adversary to my desire to “bend” the rules at camp. But he saw something in me and eventually became a mentor of sorts for me over the years. Originally from Belfast, Northern Ireland, John McAuley began his career as a Counter-Terrorism police officer in the Royal Ulster Constabulary before moving to Canada in 1987. For over 25 years, John has served as the President & CEO of Muskoka Woods, a Christian youth development organization that operates a in the Muskoka region of Canada. John’s passion is the mentoring, coaching and spiritual direction of those in the throes of leadership. He has been married to Lori for over 25 years and they are the proud parents of Jake and Kasi, as well Tux the Wonder Dog. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/no-ordinarylife/support

Children in famine, victimstortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, andthe whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what humanlife should be.痛苦的呼号的回声在我心中回荡，饥饿的儿童，被压迫者折磨的受害者，被儿女视为可厌负担的无助的老人，以及充满孤寂、贫穷和痛苦的整个世界，都是对人类应有生活的嘲讽。Ilong to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.我渴望减轻这些不幸，但是我无能为力，而且我自己也深受其害。Thishas been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it againif the chance were offered me.这就是我的一生，我觉得它值得活。如果有机会的话，我还乐意再活一次。 录制：John，策划：严喆，制作：永清文字，音乐，图片非商业用途，版权归作者或版权方所有▎节目首发，背景音乐，图文资料，更多推送敬请关注微信公众号：为你读英语美文，ID：readenglishforyou 

Today we will be looking at what's involved with on farm processing from what's a typical day like to what equipment is needed to what are some of the advantages of processing on farm. Overall, it's an in-depth look at on farm poultry processing from someone who does it, and does it really well.

You've never farmed before. And you've never really thought about farming before. Taking the offer means that you would need to drop out of college to commit to the apprenticeship. And so would you future wife, because you're also engaged. She isn't from a farming family or background either. So it's you two, in college for something that isn't ag related, dropping out out college to take an apprentice ship on a farm. What would you do? Most people would say tell me more. Well, this is a farm raising chickens on grass. And this farm is located in Swoope, VA and it's run by a farmer named Joel Salatin. What would you do? Would you and your wife drop out of college to accept the invitation to be apprentices or not? A lot of people would say yes. But it's 2016. What if you got this same offer in 1996 when very few people outside of the area knew who Joel Salatin was, it's 1996 when pastured poultry wasn't a thing, and it's 1996 and you are going to be the second ever apprentice on Joel's farm. It's not the same slam dunk answer that it might be for many of you as it is today. That's the exact question that my guest, John McAuley was faced with back in 1996. To quit school and farm, or not. Let's find out how that played out. Learn more at permaculturevoices.com/134 Support the show at permaculturevoices.com/support

[gallery columns="4" size="medium" ids="249,253,252,251"] North Carolina producer John McAuley (Healthy Hen Farms) joins the show to talk about his pastured broiler operation, marketing frozen chicken, and some lessons learned in the brooder.  John focuses on pasture-raised broilers and turkeys and expects to raise approximately 8,000 birds in 2016. John started his pastured poultry career in the mid 1990's as Polyface's second apprentice. He wanted to share some of his perspective on selling frozen chicken (an episode 30 topic). We also check in on his operation in general. Here's some of what we cover: Lessons of building on leased land. Why John ended the wholesale egg business.  Why he says, pick one thing and do that one thing well. John shares his modifications to the Salatin style daily move pen in terms of size, ventilation, and construction. Healthy Hen Farms sells 100% of its chicken frozen as a way to compensate with the logistical nightmare of selling fresh, whole birds. Going all frozen has completely changed Healthy Hen Farm's business. He's able to make deliveries all year round while collapsing the production season. Currently processing 120-130 birds per hour. John talks about his new brooder design and why the QC Supply game bird drinkers is one of the best things about the brooder.
