学英语的过程中，记忆单词是必不可缺的一个环节。但单纯地去记忆一些孤立的单词总是是枯燥乏味的，而且时间一常比较容易叫人们产生厌烦情绪，进而产生舍弃学习的念头， 即便硬着头皮坚持，但成效总是不佳，结果是功倍事半。
从心理学的角度来讲，人的动机决定着人的行为方法，只有维持强烈的学习动机，大家才容易坚持下来，这是内在的动因。 同时大家也需要外面持续的勉励，这类勉励可以来自朋友、亲人、老师、同学、同事，也可以是来自一些好的书本文章，其中名人名言总是更容易起到勉励有哪些用途，特别是在大家面对失败和挫折的时候。不少获得成功的人都有我们的座右铭，而这类座右铭非常重要有哪些用途就是不断地提醒和鼓励。
在学英语的过程中我非常喜欢读一些名人名言，这类充满着智慧与哲理的精辟语句给我了非常大的启发，我也同时发现一些所谓难记的单词在这种句子里面很容易记住。我把如此的一些单词和名言汇编起来，反复地看，反复地朗诵，既训练了口语，也记住了单词，当然最重要的是鼓励自己在逆境中奋起，培养乐观积极的生活态度。
其实大家的日常天天都需要鼓励，当大家遭到鼓励的时候，大家会更有信心，更相信我们的能力，大家的工作和学习效率也更佳。下面给出20个例句，并对其中出现的难词做适合的讲解。
