寫給自己的一封信
Dear Myself,
親愛的自己，
Life is scary. One day you wake up feeling like you can take over the world, and the next day you wake up feeling like all you want to do is to lay in bed and hide from everything.
生活讓人膽寒。一天醒來你還覺得自己能夠接管世界，隔天起來你就只想在床上躺著，不理世事。
People walk into your life, grab your hand, and lead you the most beautiful path you've known, but sometimes the same people let go of your hand without warning, and you become stranded at a place where you never thought you'ld feel lost.
有人走入你的生活，抓著你的手，向你展示已知的美好人生之路。但同樣是這個(gè)人，在毫無預(yù)警的情況下放開你的手，你被困在當(dāng)下，之前從未想過人生會(huì)如此迷惘。
Let's be honest, sometimes everything is going so great and it seems like nothing could go wrong , but right when you begin to think that, something so horrible comes crashing down and all of a sudden more problems come ricocheting around you and you just feel so hopeless cause it's so bad...
誠然，有時(shí)候一切看起來順風(fēng)順?biāo)?，?dāng)你這樣認(rèn)為的時(shí)候，一些不好的事情就會(huì)接踵而至（福兮禍所伏），一下讓你很難接受，萬念俱灰。
It's so hard to understand why such things happen in life,and I personally wish I had an answer to that "why?" you always ask yourself , but all I can say that is no matter how hard life gets,you have to keep going. The life around you will never stop going on.
生活真是讓人費(fèi)解，一念天堂，一念地獄。我真心希望自己能領(lǐng)悟生活為什么會(huì)這樣。但無論生活怎樣艱難，你也只能熬著。生活一直在繼續(xù)。
I'll be honest and say that sometimes I feel a little bit worried and all I can think is "will I be able to keep up? What if everything goes too fast?" But I realized that being scared and living with that burden of running away from problems only slow me down even more.
老實(shí)說我總是有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心，我所想的就是“我還能不能堅(jiān)持？如果一切都這樣飛速發(fā)展著?”但我意識(shí)到，老是這樣戰(zhàn)戰(zhàn)兢兢，回避問題，反而讓自己更加落后。
And I've come to the point where I believe that because life never stops, I shouldn't stop either. It's okay to take break and to give yourself time to heal, but you cannot give up and you cannot quit.
而且關(guān)鍵在于生活不止，追求不息。停下來休息一會(huì)兒，或是抽點(diǎn)時(shí)間自愈下沒有問題，但是你不能放棄，一定不要放棄。
Keep positive, fill you heart with gratitude for what you already have, and always remind to humble and true to who you are！
你能做的是，保持積極樂觀，常懷感恩之心，保持謙卑，活出真我！
With Love,
愛你的
Your Soul
你的靈魂
堅(jiān)持夢(mèng)想，是的選擇
If you can dream it, you can do it.
夢(mèng)想還是要有的，萬一實(shí)現(xiàn)了呢。
I don’t know what that dream is that you have. I don’t care how disappointing it might be as you’re working toward that dream. But that dream that you’re holding in your mind – it’s possible. Some of you already know that it’s hard. It’s not easy. It’s hard changing your life. In the process of chasing your dreams, you are going to incur a lot of disappointment, a lot of failure, a lot of pain.
我不知道你有什么樣的夢(mèng)。我也不在乎你在逐夢(mèng)之時(shí)它曾令你有多沮喪。但我要告訴你，你心中所堅(jiān)持的那個(gè)夢(mèng)，它是有可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的。你們中有的人應(yīng)該也已經(jīng)知道要實(shí)現(xiàn)它很難。的確并不容易。要改變你的人生，這很難。在逐夢(mèng)的過程中，你們會(huì)遇到各種各樣的困難，沮喪，失敗，痛苦。
There will be moments when you are going to doubt yourself. You’ll say, “Why? Why is this happening to me? I’m just trying to take care of my children, and my mother. I’m not trying to steal or rob from anybody. How did this have to happen to me?” For those of you who have experienced some hardships – don’t give up on your dream. The rough times are gonna come, but they will not stay, they will come to pass.
有時(shí)候你會(huì)懷疑你自己。你會(huì)問：“為什么？為什么這事會(huì)發(fā)生在我身上？我只是想照顧我的孩子，我的母親。我并沒想過要去偷和搶。為什么這事一定要發(fā)生在我身上？”遭遇過困難的你們，請(qǐng)別放棄你們的夢(mèng)。糟糕的日子總會(huì)來，但不會(huì)停留太長，并終究會(huì)過去。
Many of you fail to seek your purpose in life and you should. You dream and then follow it up with a list of all the reasons why the dream is unachievable. You fill your life with excuses and "I can't." Many great companies were conceived from a dream, nurtured in a garage or basement and grew to be traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Why not you? Why not your dream? The only true limits you experience in life are those you create or those you allow others to impose upon you. If you can dream it, you can do it!
你們?cè)S多人在一生中或許會(huì)有找不到人生目標(biāo)的時(shí)候，這很正常。你追求自己的夢(mèng)，跟著出現(xiàn)一大堆告訴你這夢(mèng)不可能實(shí)現(xiàn)的理由。你開始為自己的人生找各種借口，告訴自己“我不行?！?很多大公司都是由一個(gè)夢(mèng)演變而來，從車庫或地下室里發(fā)展成為紐約交易所的上市公司。為什么不是你？為什么不是你的夢(mèng)？你在人生路上所遇到的那些障礙都是你自己設(shè)置的，要么就是你讓他人施加在你身上的。夢(mèng)想還是要有的，萬一實(shí)現(xiàn)了呢！
Dreaming is the easy part. Acting on the dream is harder. Recognize that a dream is a journey. On the simplest level, it takes commitment, time, desire, and courage. But rarely is something great easily realized. Dreaming is recognizing and embracing the potential for greatness and seeking it in all areas of your life. Believe in your dreams and your ability to accomplish them. Keep your dreams in front of you. I'm here to challenge you to reach for your dream. Do not be afraid to dream. Never forget, if you can dream it, you can do it!
有夢(mèng)想很容易，為夢(mèng)而行才難。要知道，一個(gè)夢(mèng)就是一段旅程。最簡單地說，這夢(mèng)需要你做出承諾，付出時(shí)間，堅(jiān)定渴望，以及擁有勇氣。道理很簡單，卻很少有人懂。夢(mèng)就是要你意識(shí)到并擁抱生活中所有可能的美好。相信你的夢(mèng)，相信自己能實(shí)現(xiàn)它。讓它帶領(lǐng)你。不要忘記，夢(mèng)想還是要有的，萬一實(shí)現(xiàn)了呢！
有一種魅力，叫做修養(yǎng)
A person's purest charm comes from his manners.
一個(gè)人最根本的魅力，來自他的修養(yǎng)。
This kind of charm doesn't need any decoration. It comes out of your heart and reaches directly into others' hearts.
這種魅力不需要任何外在的修飾，它發(fā)源于內(nèi)心，也直抵其他人的心。
Spending time with someone who has good manners makes one feel comfortable.
與一個(gè)有教養(yǎng)的人相處，會(huì)讓人覺得舒服。
And isn't comfort what we want the most in our daily life?
而舒服難道不是我們?cè)谏钪凶钕氲玫降臇|西嗎？
People like this know how to stand in others' shoes. They know when they should reach out a helping hand.
這樣的人，知道怎樣站在別人的角度想問題，知道什么時(shí)候應(yīng)該伸出援手。
And what is the most basic manner that one can have?
而一個(gè)人最基本的修養(yǎng)是什么？
It's knowing to respect people.
那就是懂得尊重。
No one can survive in this world all by himself. We all need help sometimes.
沒有誰能獨(dú)立地生活在這個(gè)世界上，我們總會(huì)在某些時(shí)候需要?jiǎng)e人的幫忙。
And it takes respect to make others help you.
而讓別人幫忙的前提，就是尊重。
Respect is the most baseline manner.
尊重，是最基本的修養(yǎng)。
And manner is the last kind of charm which a person can afford to lose.
而修養(yǎng)，是最不可或缺的魅力。
找準(zhǔn)了前進(jìn)方向，真的很幸福
I remember there is a sentence in the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
我記得*《午夜巴塞羅那》中有一句話：
"She doesn't know what she likes but she knows what she doesn't like."
“她并不知道她喜歡什么，她只知道她不喜歡什么?！?BR> This sentence is describing Cristina.
這句話是在形容克里斯蒂娜。
Back then I found this sentence really attractive. But that was when I was a foolish child and didn't know yet how hard life can be.
當(dāng)時(shí)，我覺得這句話真的很有吸引力。但那時(shí)的我只是個(gè)傻里傻氣的孩子，還不知道生活能有多艱難。
Now I find no charm in this expression. I only see confusion and pain in it.
而現(xiàn)在，我已經(jīng)覺得這句話毫無魅力。我只在里面看到了困惑與痛苦。
Not knowing what to do is the greatest suffering in the world.
不知道做什么，這真的是世上的苦難了。
I've suffered it, in my life and in my career.
我承受過這種苦難，在生活中和事業(yè)中都承受過。
The beauty that I once assumed I would find in this state of vacancy never existed. It only seems to be beauty when you see it in someone else's life.
我曾經(jīng)以為這種真空狀態(tài)里蘊(yùn)含的那種美，其實(shí)根本就不存在。它只有在發(fā)生于別人身上的時(shí)候，才看起來是美的。
When it happens to you. Believe me. It's not beautiful at all.
當(dāng)它發(fā)生在你身上時(shí)，相信我，真的一點(diǎn)都不美。
Now I really cherish the goals that I've found or set for myself.
現(xiàn)在，我真的很珍惜那些我為自己找到或者創(chuàng)造的目標(biāo)。
Life can only be happy if you find something to work for.
只有當(dāng)你有奮斗目標(biāo)的時(shí)候，生活才可能幸福。
So search for it when you still have time. End your suffering while you can.
所以，趁你還有時(shí)間，去尋找他們吧。在你還有能力的時(shí)候，結(jié)束掉自己的苦難。
感激之心，改變世界的力量
Gra-ti-tude.
感激。
Savor it on your tongue.
用舌尖輕嘗。
The sound alone instills satisfaction.
僅是聲音便讓人心滿意足。
Feel it in your heart.
用心感受。
Notice a soothing warmth wash over you.
體會(huì)這一襲撫慰身心的暖意。
Gratitude and plentitude. They're the two ends of the same bone. Combined, they're the marrow of miracles. The structure of success.
感激與富足，是一根骨頭的兩端，兩者合并，便會(huì)產(chǎn)生奇跡，構(gòu)筑成功。
When I clear the mental clutter and focus on the present, I'm instantly reminded of how blessed I am.
當(dāng)我把錯(cuò)亂的思緒清空、著眼當(dāng)下的時(shí)候，我突然意識(shí)到我是多么幸福。
Look into your own life. If you scrub away the make-up of illusion and impurities of jealousy — can you see the clarity of grace? Can you understand how treasuring what's right in front of you is worth your time?
仔細(xì)看看自己的生活吧。如果把幻想和嫉妒掃出腦海，你清楚地看到生活的恩賜了嗎？你明白你眼前的一切是多么珍貴、多么值得你花時(shí)間品味了嗎？
Gratitude grounds plentitude in the now. When you honor who you are, what you do, and what you have, your energy will change. You will start to glow. People will be drawn to you because that gratitude glow is rare in our current culture. I'm hoping to bring it back.
感激是讓你在當(dāng)下感到富足的基礎(chǔ)。當(dāng)你熱愛自己、熱愛你所做的事、熱愛你擁有的東西，你的能量就會(huì)改變，你會(huì)開始成長。人們會(huì)被你吸引，因?yàn)檫@種感激散發(fā)的正能量在當(dāng)今的文化里是不可多得的。我很希望能把它帶回到我們的文化中。
It's my desire to kick off a gratitude cascade throughout the world so that we may inspire each other to live our best lives yet.
我希望感激可以如泉涌般流遍世界，這樣我們就可以互相啟發(fā)，活出最富足的人生。
We're here, each and every one of us, because we have a unique gift to share. It's my wish that we're both bold and humble enough to embody our divine potential.
我們每個(gè)人都有一份獨(dú)特的天賦——感激。我希望我們都足夠勇敢、足夠謙遜，能夠把我們這一神圣的潛能發(fā)揮出來。
Imagine where that will take us.
想象一下感激會(huì)帶給我們?cè)鯓拥奈磥戆伞?BR> 人生決不能犯的3個(gè)錯(cuò)誤
One will make a lot of mistakes in his or her life.
一個(gè)人在一生中會(huì)犯很多錯(cuò)誤。
This rule works for everybody.
這個(gè)道理對(duì)每個(gè)人都適用。
No one can avoid it.
沒有人可以避免。
But there are 3 mistakes you should do your best to avoid.
不過，有3中錯(cuò)誤，你真的該盡可能去避免。
The first mistake is to constantly complain about things.
第一種錯(cuò)誤是“一直在抱怨”。
Almost everybody keeps doing it because it seems like that complaining makes us feel good.
幾乎所有人都這么做，因?yàn)楸г顾坪鯐?huì)讓我們感覺很好。
But that's only an illusion .
但這其實(shí)是一種假象。
People who get satisfied with only complaining stop doing anything that actually makes a difference. In the end, these people achieve nothing.
那些僅僅抱怨一下就滿足了的人，是不會(huì)去做真正有用的事情的。最終，他們將一事無成。
The second mistake is to constantly try to outweigh everybody around you.
第二種錯(cuò)誤是“想把身邊的所有人都比下去”。
We can not survive this world alone.
我們沒有辦法只身一人在這個(gè)世界上幸存。
We have to cooperate with others because everybody's own skills and time are limited.
我們必須和別人合作，因?yàn)橐粋€(gè)人自身的技能和時(shí)間都是有限的。
If you take every pitiful chance to prove yourself better than others, you'll only make yourself miserable in the end.
如果你非要抓住每個(gè)可悲的小機(jī)會(huì)去證明自己比身邊的人行，你最終只會(huì)把自己弄得慘不忍睹。
The third mistake is to be kind without any condition.
第三種錯(cuò)誤是“無條件地善良”。
There is too much kindness in this world.
這個(gè)世界上的善良已經(jīng)夠多了。
Some of them are worthless.
其中有一些是沒有價(jià)值的。
What this world doesn't have enough is rationality.
這個(gè)世界缺的，是理智。
Kindness without reasoning is the same as evil.
無條件的善良與*無異。
Have you make any mistake of these 3?
所以你有犯過這3個(gè)錯(cuò)誤中的任何一個(gè)嗎？
If you have, now it's the time to stop.
如果有，是時(shí)候停止了。
珍惜你邂逅的每一個(gè)人
We don't meet people by accident.
我們遇見的人不是偶然。
Every person you meet will have a role in your life, be it big or small. Some will help you grow, some will hurt you, some will inspire you to do better. At the same time, you are playing some role in their lives as well. Know that paths cross for a reason and treat people with significance.
無論大小，你見到的每一個(gè)人將在你的人生中扮演一個(gè)角色。一些人幫助你成長，一些人傷害你，一些人激勵(lì)你做的更好。與此同時(shí)，你也在他們的人生中扮演一定的角色。知道道路不會(huì)無緣無故交錯(cuò)，有意義地對(duì)待別人。
The best teachers are those who don't tell you how to get there but show the way.
的老師，并非授人以魚，而是授人以漁。
There is no better joy then helping people see a vision for themselves, seeing them go to levels higher than they ever would have imagined on their own. But that doesn't mean you have to fix them or enable them; instead, guide them to the source of their own power. Offer them support and motivation as they find their own way and show you what they're capable of. All you have to do is believe in them.
再?zèng)]有比幫助別人自己看到未來、看到他們到達(dá)了他們?cè)瓉硪矝]想到的高度讓人更高興的事了。但這不意味著你不得不更正他們或者武裝他們，取而代之的是，引導(dǎo)他們到達(dá)自己的能力之源。當(dāng)他們找到自己的路并展示給你他們的能力時(shí)，提供給他們幫助和激勵(lì)。你所做的就是相信他們。
Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up.
絕不輕視他人，除非你在幫助他們成長。
We like to think of life as a meritocracy, so it's easy to look down on someone who isn't as successful or accomplished or well educated as you are. But you have no idea how far that person has already climbed or where they will end up. Time could easily reverse your positions, so be sure you treat everyone with dignity.
我們喜歡相信生活是精英統(tǒng)治，所以很容易看低那些還沒有像你一樣成功，或有成就，或受過良好教育的人。但是你不知道那個(gè)人已經(jīng)攀登到哪里或?qū)⒁谀睦锝Y(jié)束。時(shí)間會(huì)很容易地翻轉(zhuǎn)你們的位置，所以一定要尊重地對(duì)待別人。
Appreciate those who have supported you, forgive those who have hurt you, help those who need you.
欣賞那些支持你的人，原諒那些傷害你的人，幫助那些需要你的人。
Business is complicated, life is complex, and leadership is difficult. Treat all people--including yourself--with love and compassion, and you can't go wrong.
生意是復(fù)雜的，生活是難懂的，是難當(dāng)?shù)?。滿懷愛和同情地對(duì)待所有人，包括你自己，這樣你才不會(huì)犯錯(cuò)。
Treat people the way you want to be treated and life will instantly get better.
對(duì)待他人，如同你所希望被對(duì)待的方式，生活也因此更美好。
努力，是一種生活態(tài)度
Trying is an attitude. It has nothing to do with your age.
努力是一種生活態(tài)度，與年齡無關(guān)。
Someone kept pushing his horizon when he was already 45, and he found his dream job the next year.
有的人在45歲的時(shí)候，依舊在挑戰(zhàn)極限，最后在第二年找到了自己夢(mèng)寐以求的工作。
This man's name is Barack Obama.
這個(gè)人，叫貝拉克·奧巴馬。
And his new job was the President of the United States.
而他的新工作，是美國總統(tǒng)。
Another man thought his golden age had already ended when he was 35. So he gave up and accepted the status quo.
有的人在35歲時(shí)就覺得自己的黃金歲月已經(jīng)過去，于是放棄了努力、接受了現(xiàn)狀。
And no one knows his name.
而他的名字，沒有人知道。
No one cares.
也沒有人在乎。
No, trying does not only belong to the young or children.
不，努力不是專屬于年輕人和孩子的東西。
And it has nothing to do with time.
它與時(shí)間無關(guān)。
It's not an obligation put on your shoulder by others. It is the desire for a better self that takes root deeply in your heart. It is a positive life-attitude.
它不是外界對(duì)你的逼迫，而是你自己內(nèi)心對(duì)更進(jìn)一步的渴望，是一種積極向上的生活態(tài)度。
The most horrible thing that can happen in your life is not being unseccessful even though you tried, but that you give up and tell yourself it is precious to be just ordinary.
人生中最可怕的不是碌碌無為，而是你不努力還安慰自己平凡可貴。
時(shí)間再少，也要擠出來讀書
Reading is not just about learning a certain skill.
讀書，不光是去學(xué)習(xí)一門特定的技能。
Nor is it just about learning how to create prettier combination of words.
也不只是為了學(xué)習(xí)怎樣讓文字的組合更優(yōu)美。
Reading is a form of communication which is in a higher rank than mere conversation.
讀書，其實(shí)是一種比對(duì)話更高級(jí)的交流方式。
Many successful people have shared the same kind of wisdom that if you want to become a kind of person you should try your best to spend time with this kind of people.
很多成功人士都曾分享這樣一個(gè)經(jīng)驗(yàn)：如果你想成為怎樣的人，就盡量多和這樣的人呆在一起。
If you want to become someone with good manner, you should try to make friends with people who have good manner.
如果你想成為一個(gè)有涵養(yǎng)的人，就盡力去交一些有涵養(yǎng)的朋友。
If you want to become someone learned, you should try to stay in touch with learned people.
如果你想成為一個(gè)博學(xué)的人，就應(yīng)該去和博學(xué)的人交流。
If you want to become someone successful, you surely should communicate with those who are actually successful.
如果你想成為一個(gè)成功人士，那當(dāng)然應(yīng)該多和真正成功的人交流。
But unfortunately, outstanding people are usually far away from us. If you yourself are not outstanding enough, it's almost impossible for you to reach them.
但遺憾的是，優(yōu)秀的人通常都很遙遠(yuǎn)，如果你自己不夠優(yōu)秀，那你幾乎不可能觸及他們。
And this is what reading is for. A book is the embodiment of a great mind. Through reading you can communicate with those great minds. And this kind of communication is beyond time and space.
這就是讀書的意義了，書是優(yōu)秀靈魂的凝聚，通過讀書，你能和這些偉大靈魂進(jìn)行跨時(shí)空的交流。
Reading can bring you out of the cage of your daily life. It shows you new opportunities that you've never seen.
讀書能讓你跳出生活的桎梏，為你打開前所未有的可能。
For a lot of people, this may be the only method to change their lives.
對(duì)于很多人來說，這可能是他們能改變?nèi)松氖侄巍?BR> No matter how busy you are, don't forget to spare some time to do it.
不管你多么忙碌，都別忘了擠出時(shí)間來做這件事。
If you don't find yourself time to read, you'll eventually find yourself without any time to live the life that you want to live.
如果你不花時(shí)間讀書，那你最終將沒有時(shí)間過你自己的生活。
