《Today I begin a new life》

 

Today I shed my old skin which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediority.

 

Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.

 

Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard,for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me,generation upon generation.

 

Today I will savor the taste of grapes from these vines and verily I will swallow the seed of success buried in each and new life will sprout within me.

 

The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those who have failed, were they piled one atop another, would cast a shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth.

 

Yet I will not fail, as the others, for in my hands I now hold the charts which will guide through perilous waters to shores which only yesterday seemed but a dream.

 

Failure no longer will be my payment for struggle. Just as nature made no provision for my body to tolerate pain neither has it made any provision for my life to suffer failure. Failure, like pain, is alien to my life. In the past I accepted it as I accepted pain. Now I reject it and I am prepared for wisdom and principles which will guide me out of the shadows into the sunlight of wealth, position, and happiness far beyond my most extravagant dreams until even the golden apples in the Garden of Hesperides will seem no more than my just reward.

 

Time teaches all things to him who lives forever but I have not the luxury of eternity. Yet within my allotted time I must practice the art of patience for nature acts never in haste. To create the olive, king of all trees, a hundred years is required. An onion plant is old in nine weeks. I have lived as an onion plant. It has not pleased me. Now I wouldst become the greatest of olive trees and, in truth, the greatest of salesman.

 

And how will this be accomplished? For I have neither the knowledge nor the experience to achieve the greatness and already I have stumbled in ignorance and fallen into pools of self-pity. The answer is simple. I will commence my journey unencumbered with either the weight of unnecessary knowledge or the handicap of meaningless experience. Nature already has supplied me with knowledge and instinct far greater than any beast in the forest and the value of experience is overrated, usually by old men who nod wisely and speak stupidly.

 

In truth, experience teaches thoroughly yet her course of instruction devours men's years so the value of her lessons diminishes with the time necessary to acquire her special wisdom. The end finds it wasted on dead men. Furthermore, experience is comparable to fashion; an action that proved successful today will be unworkable and impractical tomorrow.

 

Only principles endure and these I now possess, for the laws that will lead me to greatness are contained in the words of these scrolls. What they will teach me is more to prevent failure than to gain success, for what is success other than a state of mind? Which two, among a thouand wise men, will define success in the same words; yet failure is always described but one way. Failure is man's inability to reach his goals in life, whatever they may be.

 

In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have successed lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Thus, the first law I will obey, which precedeth all others is --I will form good habits and become their slave.

 

As a child I was slave to my impulses; now I am slave to my habits, as are all grown men. I have surrendered my free will to the years of accumulated habits and the past deeds of my life have already marked out a path which threatens to imprison my future. My actions are ruled by appetite, passion, prejudice, greed, love, fear, environment, habit, and the worst of these tyrants is habit. Therefore, if I must be a slave to habit let me be a slave to good habits. My bad habits must be destroyed and new furrows prepared for good seed.

 

I will form good habits and become their slave. 

 

And how will I accomplish this difficult feat? Through these scrolls, it will be done, for each scroll contains a principle which will drive a bad habit from my life and replace it with one which will bring me closer to success. For it is another of nature's laws that only a habit can subdue another habit. So, in order for these written words to perform their chosen task, I must discipline myself with the first of my new habits which is as follows:

 

I will read each scroll for thirty days in this prescribed manner, before I proceed to the next scroll.

 

First, I will read the words in silence when I arise. Then, I will read the words in silence after I have partaken of my midday meal. Last, I will read the words again just before I retire at day's end, and most important, on this occasion I will read the words aloud.

 

On the next day I will repeat this procedure, and I will continue in like manner for thirty days. Then, I will turn to the next scroll and repeat this procedure for another thirty days. I will continue in this manner until I have lived with each scroll for thirty days and my reading has become habit.

 

And what will be accomplished with this habit? Herein lies the hidden secret of all man's accomplishments. As I repeat the words daily they will soon become a part of my active mind, but more important, they will also seep into my other mind, that mysterious source which never sleeps, which creates my dreams, and often makes me act in ways I do not comprehend.

 

As the words of these scrolls are consumed by my mysterious mind I will begin to awake, each morning, with a vitality I have never known before. My vigor will increase, my enthusiasm will rise, my desire to meet the world will overcome every fear I once knew at sunrise, and I will be happier than I ever believed it possible to be in this world of strife and sorrow.

 

Eventually I will find myself reacting to all situations which confront me as I was commanded in the scrolls to react, and soon these actions and reactions will become easy to perform, for any act with practice becomes easy.

 

Thus a new and good habit is born, for when an act becomes easy through constant repetiton it becomes a pleasure to perform and if it is a pleasure to perform it is man's nature to perform it often. When I perform it often it becomes a habit and I become its slave and since it is a good habit this is my will.

 

Today I begin a new life.

 

And I make a solemn oath to myself that nothing will retard my new life's growth. I will lose not a day from these readings for that day cannot be retrieved nor can I substitute another for it. I must not , I will not, break this habit of daily reading from these scrolls and, in truth, the few moments spent each day on this new habit are but a small price to pay for the happiness and success that will be mine.

 

As I read and re-read the words in the scrolls to follow, never will I allow the brevity of each scroll nor the simplicity of its words to cause me to treat the scroll's message lightly. Thousands of grapes are pressed to fill one jar with wine, and the grapeskin and pulp are tossed to the birds. So it is with these grapes of wisdom from the ages. Much has been filtered and tossed to the wind.Only the pure truth lies distilled in the words to come. I will drink as instructed and spill not a drop. And the seed of success I will swallow.

 

Today my old skin has become as dust. I will walk tall among men and they will know me not , for today I am a new man, with a new life.

 

《今天，我天始新的生活》

 

今天，我爬出满是失败创伤的老茧。

 

今天，我重新来到这个世上，我出生在葡萄园中，国内的葡萄任人享用。

 

今天，我要从最高最密的藤上摘下智慧的果实，这葡萄藤是好几代前的智者种下的。

 

今天，我要品尝葡萄的美味，还要吞下每一位成功的种子，让新生命在我心里萌牙。

 

我选择的道路充满机遇，也有辛酸与绝望．失败的同伴数不胜数，叠在一起，比金字塔还高。

 

然而，我不会像他们一样失败，因为我手中持有航海图，可以领我越过汹涌的大海，抵达梦中的彼岸．

 

    失败不再是我奋斗的代价．它和痛苦都将从我的生命中消失。失败和我，就像水火一样，互不相容。我不再像过去一样接受它们。我要在智慧的指引下，走出失败的阴影，步入富足、健康、快乐的乐园，这些都超出了我以往的梦想． 我要是能长生不老，就可以学到一切，但我不能永生，所以，在有限的人生里，我必须学会忍耐的艺术，因为大自然的行为一向是从容不迫的．造物主创造树中之王橄摊树需要一百年的时间，而洋葱经过短短的九个星期就会枯老．我不留恋从前那种洋葱式的生活，我要成为万树之王——橄榄树，成为现实生活中最伟大的推销员．

 

    怎么可能？我既没有渊博的知识，又没有丰富的经验，况且，我曾一度跌入愚昧与自怜的深渊．答案很简单。我不会让所谓的知识或者经验妨碍我的行程．造物生已经赐予我足够的知识和本能，这份天赋是其它生物望尘莫及的。经验的价值往往被高估了，人老的时候开口讲的多是糊涂话．说实在的，经验确实能教给我们很多东西，只是这需要花费太长的时间．等到人们获得智慧的时候，其价值已随着时间的消逝而减少了．结果往往是这样，经验丰富了，人也余生无多．经验和时尚有关，适合某一时代的行为,并不寻味着在今天仍然行得通。

 

    只有原则是持久的，而我现在正拥有了这些原则．这些可以指引我走向成功的原则全写在这几张羊皮卷里．它教我如何避免失败，而不只是获得成功，因为成功更是一种精神状态．人们对于成功的定义，见仁见智，而失败却往往只有一种解释:失败就是一个人没能达到他的人生目标，不论这些目标是什么。

 

    事实上，成功与失败的最大分野，来自不同的习惯。好习惯是开启成员的钥匙，坏习惯则是一扇向失败敞开的门。因此，我首先要做的便是养成良好的习惯，全心全意去实行。

 

    小时候．我常会感情用事，长大成人了，我要用良好的习惯代替一时的冲动。我的自由意志屈服于多年养成的恶习，它们威胁着我的前途。我的行为受到品味、情感、偏见、欲望、爱、恐惧、环境和习惯的影响，其中最厉害的就是习惯。因此．如果我必须受习惯支配的话，那就让我受好习惯的支配。那些坏习惯必须戒除，我要在新的田地里播种好的种子。 我要养成良好的习惯，全心全意去实行。

 

    这不是轻而易举的事情，要怎样才能做到呢，靠这些羊皮卷就能做到。因为每～卷里都写着一个原则，可以摒除—项坏习惯，换取一个好习惯，使人进步，走向成功。这也是自然法则之一，只有一种习惯才能抑制另一种习惯。所以，为了走好我选择的道路，我必须养成的第一个习惯

 

    每张羊皮卷用三十天的时间阅读，然后再进人下一卷。 清晨即起，默默诵读；午饭之后，再次默读；夜晚睡前，高声朗读。

 

    第二天的情形完全一样。这样重复三十天后，就可以打开下一卷了。每一卷都依照同样的方法读上三十天，久而久之，它们就成为一种习惯了。

 

    这些习惯有什么好处呢？这里隐含着人类成功的秘诀。当我每天重复这些话的时候，它何成了我精神活动的一部分，更重要的是，它们渗入我的心灵。拥是个神秘的世界，永不静止，创造梦境，在不知不觉中影响我的行为。

 

    当这些羊皮卷上的文字，被我奇妙的心灵完全吸收之后，我每天都会充满活力地醒来。我从来没有这样精力充沛过。我更有活力，更有热情，要向世界挑战的欲望克服了一切恐惧与不安。在这个充满争斗和悲伤的世界里，我竟然比以前更快活。 最后，我会发现自己有了应付一切情况的办法。不久，这些办法就能运用自如．因为，任何方法，只要多练习，就会变得简单易行。

 

    经过多次重复，一种看似复杂的行为就变得轻而易举，实行起来，就会有无限的乐趣，有了乐趣，出于人之天性，我就更乐意常去实行。于是，一种好的习惯便诞生了．习惯成为自然。既是一种好的习惯，也就是我的意原。

 

   今天，我天始新的生活．

 

   我郑重地发誓，绝不让任何事情妨碍我新生命的成长。在阅读这些羊卷的时候，我绝不浪费一天的时间，因为时光一去不返，失去的日子是无法弥补的。我也绝不打破每天阅读的习惯。事实上，每天在这些新习惯上花费少许时间，相对于可能获得的愉乐与成功而言，只是微不足道的代价。 当我阅读羊皮卷中的字句时，绝不能出为文字的精炼而忽视内容的深沉。一瓶葡萄美酒需要千百颗果子酿制而成，果皮和渣子抛给小鸟。葡萄的智慧代代相传，有些被过滤，有些被淘汰，随风飘逝。只有纯正的真理才是永恒的。它们就精炼在我要阅读的文字中。我要依照指示，绝不浪费，饮下成功的种子。

 

   今天，我的老茧化为尘埃。我在人群中昂首阔步，不会有人认出我来，因为我不再是过去的自己、我已拥有新的生命。  

 

第二篇：

 

How often do you hear people say "I will be happy when ..."such as "When I get that thing, I will be happy," "I will be happy when I pass the exam" and "I would be happy if I had more money". I have heard these things before and I am sure that I will hear them again.

"等我得到那个东西就会开心","等我通过那次考试就会开心","等我有更多的钱就会开心",诸如此类的"等……的时候就会开心"话,你听过不少次吧？我听过这样话,而且相信以后还会听到。

 

Many people want to believe that finding happiness is all about finding or getting something that they want. However, not many people have ever found long-term happiness by achieving a goal. There will always be another thing that they want. There will always be another exam or another dollar.

许多人都相信,找到幸福就等于找到或得到他们的心仪之物。然而,很多人并没有在目标实现之后就获得长久的幸福。这是因为人们总想要得到更多的东西,总还要走入考场,总还要赚更多的钱。

 

To break this vicious cycle, we must find our happiness somewhere else —within ourselves. In other words, happiness is completely an inside job. The key to finding happiness is to understand that happiness is a choice rather than the result of an experience. We have been given duanwenw.com everything

为了打破这种恶性循环,我们必须在其他地方找到幸福——那就是在我们的内心世界里。换句话说,幸福是心灵的产物。得到幸福的关键就在于要懂得幸福是一种选择,而不是经历的结果。

 

We need to be happy. Allow yourself to choose happiness. If life was perfect, would you be happy? Life is perfect because we create it with our choices. Since we can create life, we can create happiness and choose how much better our lives can get!

我们已经拥有获得幸福所需要的一切。去选择自己的幸福吧！倘若生活是完美的,你会觉得幸福吗？人生之所以完美就因为它是我们通过选择创造出来的。既然我们能创造生活,我们就能创造幸福,并选择更美好的人生！

 

Only when we can accept that life is perfect as it is, and that our lives are the sum total of everything that has happened up to this moment, can we accept the joy and the happiness we deserve.

我们只有在接受生活原本就很完美,并且生活就是此刻所经历之事的全部之时,我们才能得到我们应得的那份喜悦与幸福。

 

第三篇：

 

幸福是一种思考状态Happiness Is a State of Mind

Every day of your life, it is important to take the time to “smell the roses” — to appreciate the experiences that lead to happiness. This is part of being truly happy.

在你生活中的每一天，花些时间“闻闻身边的玫瑰”是十分重要的 —— 停下脚步，品味那些带给你幸福的经历。这是真正快乐的一部分。

Happiness is a state of mind. It starts with accepting where you are, knowing where you are going and planning to enjoy every moment along the way. You know how to be happy, and feel that you have enough time or money or love or whatever you need to achieve your goals. And just feeling that you have enough of everything means that you do indeed have enough.

幸福是一种思考状态。当你开始接受自己现在的生活状态，知晓你将来如何发展，并已做好准备享受这过程中的每个瞬间时，幸福便已悄悄来到你身边。你知道如何才能幸福，并感到自己拥有充裕的时间和金钱，足够的爱，和其他任何能够帮助你达成目标的东西。当你感到自己已拥有一切，这才是真正的知足。

You have to choose to be happy, and focus upon being happy, in order to be happy. If you instead focus upon knowing that you will be happy if you achieve something, you will never be happy, as you have not learned to “smell the roses”. The irony is that when you are happy, you are inevitably more productive, and far more likely to achieve what everything-seekers are seeking.

如果你想幸福，就必须去选择它。你需要专注于幸福这件事本身，以使幸福降临。但如果你总是想着，你若能完成某件事就会变得很幸福，那么你将永远无法得到幸福，因为你没有学会“闻闻身边的玫瑰”。而讽刺的是，当你感到幸福美满，你将不可避免地更加富有成就，并更有可能比那些“执着于得到一切的人”拥有更多。

 

第四篇：

 

Who are we? That is the first question. It’s a question that’s almost impossible to answer.

我们到底是谁？这是我们要解答的第一个问题，是一个几乎回答不了的问题

But we all agree that one’s busy or daily self is not quite one’s real self. We’re quite sure that we’ve lost something in the course of just making our living.。

但是我们都同意这一点，那个每天在日常生活中奔忙的自己，并不是我们真实的自己。我们都很清楚，我们在为生计奔波的过程中失去了某些东西。

A crowd is watching a person running about looking for something in a field, and a wise man asks, “What has that person lost?” Someone may guess a watch, another a diamond ring. When everyone has guessed, the wise man who like everyone else there has no idea, says, “I’ll tell you one thing for sure. He’s lost some breath.”

当一群人看着一个人在田野中奔跑着寻找某个东西时，智者向他们出了一个谜题：“那个人到底丢失了什么？”有个人认为是一块手表，另一个人认为是一枚钻石戒指。其他人也有不同的答案，智者也不知道那个人丢失了什么，但他却说：“我可以明确地告诉你们一件事，他丢失了一些生命力。”

And no one can deny that he’s right. The point is that we often forget our true selves in pursuit of things that are external1 to us, like a bird forgetting its own danger in pursuit of a mantis, which in turn forgets its own danger in pursuit of some other prey.

没有人认为智者所言是错的。其实我们经常在为生计奔波时忘记了我们自己，就像一只鸟在捕捉螳螂时忘记了自己的安危，相应地，螳螂在捕捉它的猎物时也忘记了自己的安危。

 

第五篇：

 

What is your most ideal day? Do you know exactly how you want to live your life for the next five days, five weeks, five months or five years? When was the last best day of your life? When is the next?

你最理想的一天生活是怎样的？你知道你想怎样度过接下来的五天、五周、五个月甚至五年吗？你度过的最后一个美好的一天是什么时候？下一个美好的一天又将何时到来？

The best day of our lives is today. The past is no longer here. We cannot enjoy it any longer. To dwell on the past is to waste the opportunity to enjoy the present. The future is a promise, a time that will not come because what we have is only today. When tomorrow comes, it will not be tomorrow any more; it becomes your today. You cannot enjoy tomorrow unless you know how to enjoy your today. If you are to live thirty more years, you are going to experience 10,950 todays. But every day that passes without your notice is a day cut off from your life. Your life is a day shorter every new day.

在我们的生活中,今天是最美好的。过去已经消逝,我们无法再享受它。沉溺于过去只会糟蹋了享受现在的机会。未来是一句承诺,一段尚未来到的时光,因为我们拥有的只是现在。当明天到来,它也即将不再是明天,而变成你的今天。只有当你懂得如何珍视今天,你才能学会如何享受明天。如果你还有三十年的光阴,你将经历10950个今天。但每一个逝去却得不到你注意的日子都是生命的一天损失。每一个崭新的一天都意味着生命随之减少一天。

Each day is a decision to live. Today is a gift; this is why it is called the "present". How you use this day is up to you. At each new day, you decide whether to unwrap that gift, or let it stay in the corner and spoil. Each day is a decision to live your ideal life.

每天都是一次生活的选择。今天是一份礼物,这也正是为什么它被称作"礼物"(英文中,"现在"一词也有"礼物"的意思)。你将如何利用这一天是你的选择。每天,你都要作出选择:是拆开这份礼物,还是把它留在墙角,毁掉它。每天都是一次通往理想生活的抉择。

第六篇：

 

How you feel, how you react and how much stress you have in your life is in direct relation to how you think.

你的感觉、你对外界事物的反应以及你所能承受的压力直接影响到你的想法。

Some people let random circumstances predict their day and actually end up creating stress for themselves. For example, when they go to make coffee and find there is none left, they may start the day by thinking, "Oh, this isn’t going to be a good day." Then, for the rest of the day, they duanwenw.com allow minor inconveniences, unexplained challenges or other less ideal events to reinforce their negative thought. And they end up having a stressful day.

有些人很轻易地被周遭的事物影响自己一天的心情,结果只会徒生烦恼。例如,有些人冲咖啡时发现咖啡没有了,他们就会以"今天会是不幸的一天"这样的想法开始一天的生活。然后,在这一整天的时光里,他们放任小小的不便、莫名的质疑或者其它不太顺心的小插曲加重自己的消极思想。最后,他们一天都过得极其郁闷。

?Look forward to your day and don’t let negative thoughts control it. Change how you interpret or react to life’s events. If you run out of coffee, change your thoughts to, "If this is the worst thing that could happen to me today, then the rest of my day will be great."

以积极的心态去期待每一天的生活,不要让消极的思想主宰你。换个角度去理解和对待生活中的各种意外事件。若咖啡没有了,你可以转念一想:"如果这就是今天能发生的最糟糕的事情,那么我的后半天肯定会过得无比美妙。"

If you continually have negative thoughts, then you are allowing only negative events to be your companion for the rest of the day. And, when something good does occur, you won’t even recognize it.

如果你一直受消极思想影响,那么你一整天看任何事都会是消极的。即使有好的事情发生,你也不会意识到。

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.

你的幸福感取决于你的思想境界。

 

第七篇：

 

The candles themselves were nothing, but as one candle was used to light another in a dark room, the room would grow brighter.

蜡烛本身看似不起眼,但如果点燃两根蜡烛,而非一根,黑暗的房间顿时会变得更加明亮

Then as each lighted candle was used to light others, the dark room would begin to glow with a wonderful brightness. In the end, as every single candle was lit, the room was bathed in the glorious, shining light of not only fire but also love and joy. It doesn’t matter how tiny a candle you may think your life is. You can use it to shine a little light and love in this world. It doesn’t matter how brief your candle flickers are and how small your flame burns right now. You can feed it, build it and watch it grow. You may think you’re your life is a tiny candle now, but you can turn it into a powerful bonfire if you would like.

接下来,如果用一根点燃的蜡烛点亮其它蜡烛,黑暗的房间便会格外明亮。最后,当全部蜡烛都被点燃时,整个房间就会被明亮、灿烂的光线所笼罩。这光线并非全部源于烛焰,还源于爱与欢乐。即便你觉得自己的人生只是一根纤弱的蜡烛,你也可以用它给世界带来光与爱。即便现在你的烛焰只能闪烁片刻,即便现在你的烛光是那么微弱,你也可以努力让蜡烛燃烧得更加旺盛。也许你认为自己的生命好比一根微小的蜡烛,其实,只要你愿意,你就可以将这根微小的蜡烛变成一堆熊熊的篝火。

Light your candle today. Then use it to light all candles around you. Share your loving, joyful fire with everyone you know and everyone you meet. Feed your fire with goodness and watch it cast out all the darkness of the world.

赶快点燃自己的那根蜡烛吧！用它去点亮你身边的所有蜡烛。与你身边的每一个人分享充满爱与欢乐的烛焰。让友善使你的烛光更加灿烂,并静观它去驱逐世间的黑暗。

 

第八篇：

 

To conquer our fears, we must go past them.

若想克服恐惧,我们就必须要敢于正视它们。

To fear is natural; to go past them is heroic. Fear is a normal part of life, symbolizing that there are new, extraordinary things to come across and face. To be able to see these things before they happen is a sign of wisdom. Fear is nothing out of the ordinary. To admit that we are fearing is to prove that we value our life.

恐惧是一件很自然的事,但克服恐惧却是一种英勇的行为。恐惧是日常生活中不可或缺的一部分,它意味着我们要去面对和处理层出不穷的、意想不到的事情。能够预知将要发生的事情是一种智慧。恐惧并不是什么稀奇事儿,而且承认恐惧是证明我们珍视生命的有力证据。

And men should pay attention to the call of fears. To truly be a leader or someone who is heroic and brave, we should focus on getting past these fears. And it is frightful for people to go through life ignoring fears, because they may often forget their heart and step into life without responsibility.

人人都应该对恐惧的到来有先见之明。要想成为真正的佼佼者或者英勇之人,我们就必须集中精力去正视恐惧。那些在生活中忽视恐惧的人是非常可怕的,因为他们不仅常常违背自己的心意,而且在缺少责任心中苟且偷生。

To be born is to live. To live is to fear. To fear is to be challenged. To accept our fears is to be mature. It needs bravery, maturity and vitality to face our fears, accept the challenges and hope for the best.

生者为生,生来为惧,惧为应站,迎惧者谙事理。要想正视恐惧、接受挑战、憧憬美好未来,那就要具备大无畏的勇气、成熟的心智与顽强的生命力。

 

第九篇：

 

Don’t allow your troubles to get the best of you. Instead, allow those troubles to make the best of you.

不要被烦恼击败,相反,要让这些烦恼磨练出更优秀的你

Don’t tire yourself out fighting against the challenges. Instead, find new energy by embracing1 those challenges and working through them to create real value.

不要因与挑战作斗争而身心疲惫,相反,要在接受挑战、战胜挑战的过程中找到活力去创造真正的价值。

Always remind yourself that discour-agement is nothing more than a response you’ve chosen. When you find that you’ve chosen to let it be, you can just as surely choose to let it go.

时常提醒自己,气馁只不过是你自己的选择。当你发现是你选择了气馁,你当然也可以选择不这样。

Replace discouragement with determin-ation. It is your life’s energy, and you can point it in whatever direction you choose. Your most powerful response is not based only on what has already happened. Your most powerful response also takes into account what you wish to make happen next.

用决心消除气馁,这就是你生命的活力,是放之四海而皆准的。你最有力的反应不仅仅受所发生的事情的影响,而且与你期待发生的事情有一定关联。

?Look forward, and envision in great detail the future you desire. Then gather all your energy, and step forward to make it be.

向前看,详尽地展望你所期盼的未来。然后集中你所有的精力,努力前进,让梦想成真

 

第十篇：

 

Life is not about just getting by. Life is about reaching ever higher, building one achievement on top of another, and creating real, meaningful value in each moment.

生活并不是过得去就行,而是需要我们每时每刻都有所超越,不断取得成就,并且创造真正的、有意义的价值。

A common stone on the ground does a great job of just getting by. You, on the other hand, are destined1 for much more spectacular things. Yes, indeed, you will certainly meet a number of challenges when you make the effort to raise your world even a little bit higher. The good thing is, you are superbly equipped to thrive on those challenges.

地上的一块普通的石子只是躺在那里就做得很好了。然而,你注定是要做大事的。是的,当你努力提升自己时,你的确会遇到许多困难,哪怕只是提升一点点。幸运的是,你有能力战胜那些挑战。

If life seems unsuccessful, it’s not because of the challenges or limitations that stand in your way. It’s because you refuse to see the exceptional opportunities that those challenges represent.

如果生活看起来并不是一帆风顺的,那并不是因为你前方的道路上有挑战或阻碍,而是因为你没有看到那些挑战中蕴藏的良机。

This is your precious and unique life, and it is absolutely worth all the trouble and effort you must go through to make it great. Within you at this moment are beautiful dreams, and you can begin to live in the direction of those dreams whenever you choose.

这是你所珍爱的、独一无二的生活。为了让它变得更美好,经历困难、付出努力都是值得的。此刻,你的内心充满着美好的梦想,只要你选择,你就可以朝着梦想的方向生活。

Let go of the false security of just getting by, and get yourself into focus on a purpose that will bring your life gloriously to life. Your very own pathway to success is just one quick step away.

摒弃生活只要过得去就行这样的错误观点,全心投入一个目标——让你的生活更加精彩。成功之路离你仅一步之遥。
