I will laugh at the world.
No living creature can laugh except man. Trees may bleed when they are wounded, and beasts in the field will cry in pain and hunger, yet only I have the gift of laughter and it is mine to use whenever I choose. Henceforth I will cultivate the habit of laughter.
I will smile and my digestion will improve; I will chuckle and my burdens will be lightened; I will laugh and my life will be lengthened for this is the great secret of long life and now it is mine.
I will laugh at the world.
And most of all, I will laugh at myself for man is most comical when he takes himself too seriously. Never will I fall into this trap of the mind. For though I be nature's greatest miracle am I not still a mere grain tossed about by the winds of time? Do I truly know whence I came or whither I am bound? Will my concern for this day not seem foolish ten years hence? Why should I permit the petty happenings of today to disturb me? What can take place before this sun sets which will not seem insignificant in the river of centuries?
I will laugh at the world.
And how can I laugh when confronted with man or deed which offends me so as to bring forth my tears or my curses? Four words I will train myself to say until they become a habit so strong that immediately they will appear in my mind whenever good humor threatens to depart from me. These words, passed down from the ancients, will carry me through every adversity and maintain my life in balance. These four words are: This too shall pass.
I will laugh at the world.
For all worldly things shall indeed pass. When I am heavy with heartache I shall console myself that this too shall pass; when I am puffed with success I shall warn myself that this too shall pass. When I am strangled in poverty I shall tell myself that this too shall pass; when I am burdened with wealth I shall tell myself that this too shall pass. Yea, verily, where is he who built the pyramid? Is he not buried within its stone? And will the pyramid, one day, not also be buried under sand? If all things shall pass why should I be of concern for today?
I will laugh at the world.
I will paint this day with laughter; I will frame this night in song. Never will I labor to be happy; rather will I remain too busy to be sad. I will enjoy today's happiness today. It is not grain to be stored in a box. It is not wine to be saved in a jar. It cannot be saved for the morrow. It must be sown and reaped on the same day and this I will do, henceforth.
I will laugh at the world.
And with my laughter all things will be reduced to their proper size. I will laugh at my failures and they will vanish in clouds of new dreams; I will laugh at my successes and they will shrink to their true value. I will laugh at evil and it will die untasted; I will laugh at goodness and it will thrive and abound. Each day will be triumphant only when my smiles bring forth smiles from others and this l do in selfishness, for those on whom l flown are those who purchase not my goods.
I will laugh at the world.
Henceforth will l shed only tears of sweat, for those of sadness or remorse or frustration are of no value in the market place whilst each smile can be exchanged for gold and each kind word, spoken from my heart, can build a castle.
Never will l allow myself to become so important, so wise, so dignified, so powerful, that I forget how to laugh at myself and my world. In this matter I will always remain as a child, for only as a child am I given the ability to look up to others; and so long as I 1ook up to another I will never grow too long for my cot.
I will laugh at the world.
And so long as I can laugh never will I be poor. This, then, is one of nature's greatest gifts, and l will waste it no more. Only with laughter and happiness can l truly become a success. Only with laughter and happiness can I enjoy the fruits of my labor. Were it not so, far better would it be to fail, for happiness is the wine that sharpens the taste of the meal. To enjoy success I must have happiness, and laughter will be the maiden who serves me.
I will be happy.
I will be successful.
I will be the greatest salesman the world has ever known.
我會(huì)笑的世界。
除了人以外，任何生物都不能笑。當(dāng)他們受傷的時(shí)候，樹(shù)木可能會(huì)流血，田野里的野獸也會(huì)在痛苦和饑餓中哭泣，但我卻擁有歡笑的天賦，當(dāng)我選擇時(shí)，它是我的。從今往后，我要培養(yǎng)笑的習(xí)慣。
我會(huì)微笑，我的消化能力會(huì)提高；我會(huì)笑，能減輕我的負(fù)擔(dān)；我會(huì)笑，我的生命將得以延長(zhǎng)，這是長(zhǎng)壽的杰出的秘密，現(xiàn)在是我的。
我會(huì)笑的世界。
最重要的是，我會(huì)嘲笑自己的人是最滑稽的時(shí)候，他太把自己當(dāng)回事。我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)陷入這個(gè)頭腦的陷阱。雖然我是自然界最偉大的奇跡，但我不是一個(gè)單純的谷物，是因?yàn)闀r(shí)間的風(fēng)嗎？我真不知道我是何時(shí)、何處，我一定？這一天我會(huì)不會(huì)擔(dān)心十年后會(huì)不會(huì)這樣？我為什么要允許今天發(fā)生的瑣碎事情來(lái)打擾我？什么可以在這太陽(yáng)下山之前，這將在幾個(gè)世紀(jì)中似乎微不足道的地方？
我會(huì)笑的世界。
我怎么能笑著面對(duì)的人或事冒犯了我，使我的眼淚和我的詛咒？我要訓(xùn)練自己的四個(gè)字，直到他們成為一個(gè)習(xí)慣如此強(qiáng)烈，他們立即就會(huì)出現(xiàn)在我的腦海中，每當(dāng)良好的幽默威脅離開(kāi)我。這些話，從古人傳下來(lái)，將帶我度過(guò)難關(guān)，保持我的生活平衡。這四個(gè)字是：這太過(guò)了。
我會(huì)笑的世界。
因?yàn)槭篱g萬(wàn)物都要經(jīng)過(guò)。當(dāng)我感到心痛的時(shí)候，我會(huì)安慰自己，這樣也會(huì)過(guò)去；當(dāng)我成功時(shí)，我會(huì)提醒自己，這太過(guò)了。當(dāng)我貧窮時(shí)，我會(huì)告訴自己，這太過(guò)了，當(dāng)我背負(fù)著財(cái)富的時(shí)候，我會(huì)告訴自己，這太過(guò)了。真的，他在哪里建造金字塔？他不是埋在石頭中嗎？而且將金字塔，一天，也不會(huì)被掩埋在沙子之下？如果一切都會(huì)過(guò)去，我為什么要關(guān)注今天呢？
我會(huì)笑的世界。
我將用笑聲描繪這一天，我將在這首歌的夜晚里。我決不讓自己快樂(lè)，我寧愿讓自己忙得不開(kāi)心。我將享受今天的快樂(lè)。它不是谷物儲(chǔ)存在一個(gè)盒子里。在一個(gè)罐子里儲(chǔ)存的不是酒。它不能被保存為明天。它必須在同一天播種和收獲，我會(huì)去做，從今以后。
我會(huì)笑的世界。
和我的笑聲所有的事情都將減少到適當(dāng)?shù)拇笮?。我?huì)嘲笑我的失敗，他們會(huì)消失在新夢(mèng)想的云彩里，我會(huì)嘲笑我的成功，他們會(huì)萎縮到真正的價(jià)值。我笑邪惡，它們遠(yuǎn)我而去；我笑善良，它們發(fā)揚(yáng)光大。每一天都將是勝利的，只有當(dāng)我的微笑從別人身上帶來(lái)微笑，而這我才是自私，因?yàn)槟切┪业娜耸悄切┎毁I(mǎi)我的東西的人。
我會(huì)笑的世界。
從今往后，我只為那些悲傷、悔恨、挫折的人灑下眼淚，在市場(chǎng)上沒(méi)有任何價(jià)值，而每一個(gè)微笑都可以?xún)稉Q為黃金，每一種話語(yǔ)，都可以從我的心靈中，建造一座城堡。
永遠(yuǎn)不要讓自己變得如此重要，如此聰明，如此有尊嚴(yán)，如此強(qiáng)大，以至于我忘記了自己和我的世界。在這個(gè)問(wèn)題上我將永遠(yuǎn)作為一個(gè)孩子，只有作為一個(gè)孩子，我才能尊敬別人；只要我周?chē)牧硪粋€(gè)我不會(huì)自以為是。
我會(huì)笑的世界。
只要我能笑，我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)貧窮。這是大自然最偉大的禮物之一，我將不再浪費(fèi)它。只有笑和幸福才能真正成為一個(gè)成功。只有笑聲和快樂(lè)才能享受我的勞動(dòng)成果。如果不是這樣，我會(huì)失敗，因?yàn)榭鞓?lè)是美酒佳釀的味道。要享受成功，我必須擁有快樂(lè)，歡笑將成為為我服務(wù)的少女。
我會(huì)快樂(lè)。
我會(huì)成功。
我將成為世界上最偉大的推銷(xiāo)員。
