In Life，We are Happiest When... 生活中我们最幸福时……
·stuart·A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. All had wonderful time.
The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later，the wife came to the husband with a proposal，“I read in a magazine，a while ago，about how we can strengthen our marriage，”she offered，“Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then，we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”
The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.
The next morning，at the breakfast table，they decided that they would go over their lists.
“I’ll start，”offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages，in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances，she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband’s eyes.
“What’s wrong?”she asked.“Nothing，”the husband replied，“keep reading your list.”
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.
“Now，you read your list and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists.”She said happily.
Quietly the husband stated，“I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don’t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn’t want to try and change anything about you.”
The wife，touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her，turned her head and wept.
In life，there are enough times when we are disappointed，depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty，light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad，disappointing or annoying when we can look around us，and see the wondrous things before us?斯图亚特
一个男人与他的女朋友举行了一场盛大的结婚典礼。
所有的亲朋好友都来参加，分享他们的喜悦，对他们表示祝贺，大家过得很愉快。
身着雪白婚纱的新娘楚楚动人，穿着黑色礼服的新郎英俊潇洒。大家都看得出来。他们彼此相爱着。
数月后，妻子提议道：“我刚在杂志上看到一篇文章，讲的是如何增进夫妻感情。”她说，“我们各自在纸上罗列出对方的小缺点，然后一起找出解决的办法，这样，会使我们的婚姻生活更融洽。”
丈夫很赞成。于是，他们各自在房间里想对方的缺点。那天余下的时间，他们都在想这个问题，同时也把所想的写了下来。
第二天早上，吃早餐时，他们决定谈谈彼此的缺点。“我先来吧。”妻子说。她拿出单子，上面都写满了，足有三页纸。开始念丈夫的小毛病时，她注意到他的眼角湿润了。“怎么了？”她问道。“没什么，”丈夫答道，“继续念啊。”
妻子接着念，念完这三张纸后，她把单子整齐地放在桌上，两手交叉放在上面。“现在，该你了。你念完后，我们就来谈谈这些缺点吧。”妻子开心地说道。
丈夫平静地说：“我什么也没写。我觉得你这样已经很完美了，你很可爱，很迷人，我不想让你为我改变什么。”
丈夫的诚实，深沉的爱与包容，深深地触动了她，她转过头去哭了起来。
生活中，很多时候，我们都会感到失望、沮丧和厌烦，但我们不必刻意去寻找这些负面的事情。我们拥有一个奇妙的世界，充满美、光明和希望。当我们环顾四周，就可以发觉这些美好，那又何必把光阴耗费在找寻不快、失落和烦恼上呢？Practising&Exercise 实战提升篇实用句型We can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.我们一起找出解决的办法，这样会使我们的婚姻生活更融洽。①这里是how引导的宾语从句。②talk about谈论，谈到，类似的表达还有talk with与……交谈；talk over商讨，讨论等固定搭配。翻译行不行1.事实上，你这么做是对的。(in fact)2.他一时想不出一个合适的回答。(come up with)3.世界充满爱。(be full of)
Don’t Work for Money 不做有才华的穷人
·Patty Hansen·The world is filled with smart，talented，educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago，my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is，great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $ 100，000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors，dentists and chiropractors struggle financially. All this time，I thought that when they graduated，the dollars would pour in. It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one skill away from great wealth.”What this phrase means is that most people need only to learn and master one more skill and their income would jump exponentially. I have mentioned before that financial intelligence is a synergy of accounting，investing ，marketing and law.Combine those four technical skills and making money with money is easier. When it comes to money，the only skill most people know is to work hard.
When I graduated from the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy in 1969，my educated dad was happy. Standard Oil of California had hired me for its oil-tanker fleet. I had a great career ahead of me，yet I resigned after six months with the company and joined the Marine Corps to learn how to fly. My educated dad was devastated. Rich dad congratulated me.
Job security meant everything to my educated dad. Learning meant everything to my rich dad.Educated dad thought I went to school to learn to be a ship’s officer. Rich dad knew that I went to school to study international trade. So as a student，I made cargo runs，navigating large freighters，oil tankers and passenger ships to the Far East and the South Pacific. While most of my classmates，including Mike，were partying at their fraternity houses，I was studying trade，people and cultures in Japan，Thailand，Singapore，Hong Kong，Vietnam，Korea and the Philippines. I also was partying，but it was not in any frat house. I grew up rapidly.
There is an old cliché that goes，“Job is an acronym for Just over Broke.”And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people. Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers“live within their means”. They work and they pay the bills. Instead I recommend to young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn. Look down the road at what skills they want to acquire before choosing a specific profession and before getting trapped in the“Rat Race”. Once people are trapped in the lifelong process of bill paying，they become like those little hamsters running around in those little metal wheels. Their little furry legs are spinning furiously，the wheel is turning furiously，but come tomorrow morning，they’ll still be in the same cage: great job.
When I ask the classes I teach，“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?”Almost all the students raise their hands. I then ask，“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?”The answer is obvious：McDonald’s is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. The world is filled with talented poor people. All too often，they’re poor or struggle financially or earn less than they are capable of，not because of what they know but because of what they do not know. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.帕迪·汉森
世界上到处都是精明能干、才华横溢、学富五车以及极具天赋之人，我们每天都会见到他们。几天前，我的汽车运转不灵了。我把它开进了维修厂，一位年轻的机械工只用了几分钟就把它修好了。他仅凭倾听发动机的声音就能确定哪儿有毛病，这让我惊奇不已。然而遗憾的是，光有非凡才华是不够的。
我常常吃惊，为什么有才华的人却只有微薄的收入。前几天我听说，只有不到5％的美国人年收入在十万美元以上。一位精通药品贸易的商务顾问曾经告诉我，有许多医生、牙医和按摩师生活拮据。以前我总以为他们一毕业，财源便会滚滚而来。这位商务顾问告诉了我一句话：“想发大财，他们还差一项技能。”这句话的意思是说，大部分人还需多学习并掌握一项技能，他们的收入才能呈指数倍增长。以前我提到过，财商是会计、投资、市场营销和法律方面的能力综合。将上述四种专业技能结合起来，以钱生钱就会更容易。说到钱，大部分人所知的唯一技能就是拼命工作。
1969年，我从美国海运学院毕业了。我那有学识的爸爸十分高兴，因为加州标准石油公司录用我为它的油轮队工作。尽管我的未来前程远大，但我还是在六个月后辞职离开了这家公司，加入海军陆战队去学习飞行。对此我那有学识的爸爸非常伤心，而富爸爸则为我做出的决定表示祝贺。
对于有学识的爸爸来说，稳定的工作就是一切。而对于富爸爸来说，学习才是一切。有学识的爸爸以为我上学是为了做一名船长，而富爸爸明白我上学是为了学习国际贸易。因此，在做学生时，我跑过货运、为前往远东及南太平洋的大型货轮、油轮和客轮导航。当我的大部分同班同学，包括迈克，在他们的联谊会会堂举办晚会的时候，我正在日本、泰国、新加坡、中国香港、越南、韩国和菲律宾学习贸易、人际关系和文化。我也参加晚会，但不去任何联谊会，我迅速地成熟起来了。
常言道，“工作(job)就是‘比破产强一点(Just Over Broke)’的缩写”。然而不幸的是，这句话确实适用于千百万人，因为学校没有把财商看作是一种才智，大部分工人都“量入为出”：干活挣钱，支付账单。相反，我劝告年轻人在寻找工作时要看看能从中学到什么，而不是只看能挣到多少。在选择某种特定职业之前或是陷入“老鼠赛跑(激烈的竞争)”之前，要好好掂量自己到底需要获得什么技能。人们一旦为支付账单而整天疲于奔命，那么就和那些在小铁轮里不停奔跑转圈的小老鼠一样了。老鼠的小毛腿跑得飞快，小铁轮也转得飞快，可到了第二天早上，他们发现自己依然困在同一个老鼠笼里，那就是：重要的工作。
当我在自己教授的班级上问到“你们当中有多少人做的汉堡包能比麦当劳更好”时，几乎所有的学生都举起了手。我接着问：“如果你们当中大部分人都能做出比麦当劳更好的汉堡包，那为什么麦当劳比你们更能赚钱？”答案是显而易见的：麦当劳拥有一套出色的运营体系。许多才华横溢的人之所以贫穷，就是因为他们只是专心于做更好的汉堡包，而对运营体系几乎一无所知。世界上到处都是有才华的穷人。在很多情况下，他们之所以贫穷、生活拮据或者收入与其能力不相符，不是因为他们已知的东西而是因为他们未知的东西。他们只将注意力集中在提高和完善做汉堡包的技术上，却不注意提高有关汉堡包的销售和送货技能。Practising&Exercise 实战提升篇实用句型When it comes to money，the only skill most people know is to work hard.说到钱，大部分人所知的唯一技能就是拼命工作。①it 在这里没有任何意义，只作形式上的成分。②When it comes to 说到，类似的表达还有speaking of 谈到;considering of考虑到等固定搭配。翻译行不行1.火车准时进站了。(pull into)2.他注视着我。(focus on)3.召之即来，来之能战，战之能胜。(be capable of )
What will Matter? 什么才重要？
·Bud Tenney·Ready or not，some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises，no days，no hours or minutes. All the things you collected，whether treasured or forgotten，will pass to someone else.
Your wealth，fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges，resentments，frustrations，and jealousies will finally disappear.
So，too，your hopes，ambitions，plans，and to-do lists will all expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won’t matter where you came from，or on what side of the tracks you lived.
It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Your gender，skin color，ethnicity will be irrelevant.
So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought，but what you built；not what you got，but what you gave.
What will matter is not your success，but your significance.
What will matter is not what you learned，but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity，compassion，courage and sacrifice that enriched，empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence，but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew，but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered，by whom and for what.
Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident.
It’s not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.巴德·坦尼
无论是否准备好，总有一天它都会走到尽头。那里没有日出，没有白天，没有小时和分钟。你收集的所有东西，不管你珍惜或忘记与否，它们都将流入他人手中。
不管是你得到的或是你欠别人的，可你的财产、名誉和权势也都会变成和你毫不相干的东西。
你的怨恨、愤慨、挫折和妒忌最终也将消失。
因此，你的希望、抱负、计划以及行动日程表也将全部结束。当初看得比较重的成功得失也会消失。
你来自何方，住在穷人区还是富人区也都不重要了。
你昔日的漂亮与辉煌也都不重要了，你的性别、肤色、种族地位也将消失。
因此，什么重要呢？怎么衡量你有生之年的价值呢？
重要的不是你买了什么，而是你创造了什么；不是你得到了什么，而是你给予了什么。
重要的不是你成功了，而是你生命的意义。
重要的不是你学到了什么，而是你传授了什么。
重要的是每个行动之中都有正直和勇气的气概，伟大的同情心和牺牲精神，并且鼓励他人遵从榜样。
重要的不是你的能力，而是你的性格。
重要的不是你认识多少人，而是在你离开后，别人会认为是个永远的损失。
重要的不是你想念谁，而是爱你的人想念你。
重要的是别人会记你多长时间，谁记着你，为什么记着你。
过一种有意义的生活不是偶然的。
那不是环境的问题，而是选择的问题。
选择有意义的人生吧！Practising&Exercise 实战提升篇实用句型Ready or not ，some day it will all come to an end .无论是否准备好，总有一天它都会走到尽头。①Ready or not是状语从句No matter you are ready or not的省略形式。②come to涉及，达成，类似的表达还有come on进展，逐渐开始；come out出现，出版；come up开始，发生，被提出等固定搭配。翻译行不行1.会议终于结束了。(come to an end )2.这不是你的错，而是他的问题(not...but...)3.我偶然遇到了她。(by accident)
You’re Awesome 令人敬畏的你
·Anonymous·Consider...YOU.In all time before now and in all time to come，there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You’re better than one in a million，or a billion，or a gazillion...
You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!
You’re amazing! You’re awesome! And by the way，TAG，you’re it. As amazing and awesome as you already are，you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsy of nature，but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don’t become“beautiful”just by virtue of the aging process.
Real beauty comes from learning，growing，and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly，and sometimes painfully，by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.
Paint a Masterpiece.
God gives every bird its food，but he doesn’t throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go，whatever you want to do，it’s truly up to you.佚名
试想一下……你空前绝后！无论过去还是将来都不会有一个和你完全一样的人。在整个历史和宇宙中。你也是独一无二的。噢！想想吧，你是一百万人、十亿人、一兆人中……最好的。
在浩渺的大千世界中，你绝无仅有！
你令人惊异！令人敬畏！没错，这就是你。生来不同凡响、卓越的你，还可以更加强大。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇迹，美丽的老人是艺术家的杰作。而你却不会随着年龄的增长而自然变得“美丽”。
真正的美丽源于生命中不断地学习、成长和关爱。这就是生命的艺术。你可以选择等候命运的安排，缓慢地、有时甚至是痛苦地学习。你也可以选择使自己快速成长，如饥似渴地享用生活提供的一切。你就是用今天的画笔绘制未来宏伟蓝图的艺术家。
创作一幅杰作吧。
上帝给了鸟儿食物，但并未把它们扔进鸟巢。不论你想去哪里，要做什么，决定权在你自己。Practising&Exercise 实战提升篇实用句型You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.你就是用今天的画笔绘制未来宏伟蓝图的艺术家。①that引导的定语从句在这里修饰限定the artist。②paint即可作名词，也可作动词，类似的词还有 fool ; knight ; group; widow等。翻译行不行1.恰似你的温柔。(just like)2.凭借财富而行使权力的人。(by virtue of)3.你应该把实情告诉他。(want to )
Our Pursuit of Happiness 我们对幸福的追求
·Anonymous·We chase after it，when it is waiting all about us.
“Are you happy?”I asked my brother，Ian，one day.“Yes. No. It depends on what you mean，”he said.
“Then tell me，”I asked，“when was the last time you think you were happy?”
“April 1967，”he said.
It served me right for putting a serious question to someone who has joked his way through life. But Ian’s answer reminded me that when we think about happiness，we usually think of something extraordinary，a pinnacle of sheer delight—and those pinnacles seem to get rarer the older we get.
For a child，happiness has a magical quality. I remember making hide-outs in newly cut hay，playing cops and robbers in the woods，getting a speaking part in the school play. Of course，kids also experience lows，but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.
In the teenage years the concept of happiness changes. Suddenly it’s conditional on such things as excitement，love，popularity and whether that zit will clear up before prom night. I can still feel the agony of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to. But I also recall the ecstasy of being plucked from obscurity at another event to dance with a John Travolta look-alike.
In adulthood the things that bring profound joy—birth，love，marriage also—bring responsibility and the risk of loss. Love may not last，sex isn’t always good，loved ones die. For adults，happiness is complicated.
My dictionary defines happy as“lucky”or“fortunate，”but I think a better definition of happiness is“the capacity for enjoyment.”The more we can enjoy what we have，the happier we are.It’s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved，the company of friends，the freedom to live where we please，and even good health.
I added up my little moments of pleasure yesterday. First there was sheer bliss when I shut the last lunch-box and had the house to myself. Then I spent an uninterrupted morning writing，which I love. When the kids came home，I enjoyed their noise after the quiet of the day.
Later，peace descended again，and my husband and I enjoyed another pleasure—intimacy. Sometimes just the knowledge that he wants me can bring me joy.
You never know where happiness will turn up next. When I asked friends what made them happy，some mentioned seemingly insignificant moments.“I hate shopping，”one friend said.“but there’s a clerk who always chats and really cheers me up.”Another friend loves the telephone“Every time it rings，I know someone is thinking about me.”
I get a thrill from driving. One day I stopped to let a school bus turn onto a side road. The driver grinned and gave me the thumbs up sign. We were two allies in a world of mad motorists. It made me smile.
We all experience moments like these. Too few of us register them as happiness.
Psychologists tell us that to be happy we need a blend of enjoyable leisure time and satisfying work. I doubt that my great-grandmother，who raised 14 children and took in washing，had much of either. She did have a network of close friends and family，and maybe this was what fulfilled her. If she was happy with what she had，perhaps it was because she didn’t expect life to be very different.
We，on the other hand，with so many choices and such pressure to succeed in every area，have turned happiness into one more thing we“gotta have.”We’re so self-conscious about our“right”to it that it’s making us miserable. So we chase it and equate it with wealth and success，without noticing that the people who have those things aren’t necessarily happier.
While happiness may be more complex for us，the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn’t about what happens to us — it’s about how we perceive what happens to us. It’s the knack of finding a positive for every negative，and viewing a setback as a challenge. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have，but enjoying what we do possess.佚名
我们四处追逐幸福，而幸福其实就在我们身边。
一天。我问哥哥伊恩：“你感到幸福吗？”他回答说：“可以说幸福，也可以说不幸福，这要看你指什么了。”“那你告诉我，”我说，“最近一次你感到幸福是什么时候？”“1967年4月，”他答道。
我真不该对一个游戏生活的人提出这么严肃的问题。但伊恩的回答却给了我一个启示：我们想到的幸福时刻通常是一些非同寻常的事，一种纯粹的快乐——但是随着年龄的增长，这种快乐好像越来越少了。
对一个孩子来说，幸福有着梦幻般的色彩。记得我曾在新鲜的干草丛中捉迷藏；在树林里玩“警察与小偷”；在学校的戏剧里扮演有台词的角色。当然，孩子也有情绪低落的时候。但是，因为赢得一场比赛，或得了一辆新单车，他们会毫不掩饰地快乐到极点。
到了青少年时期，幸福观逐渐转变。突然间，幸福就建立在激动、爱情、名气甚至是脸上的青春痘能否在晚会前消失这样的事上。我清楚地记得大家都去参加一个舞会，而我未被邀请时的痛苦。但也记得，在另一次活动中，我意外地与一个貌似约翰·特拉沃尔塔的人共舞时的兴奋。
成年后，心灵深处最令人喜悦的是生育、爱情和婚姻。所有这些同时也带来了责任和丧失。爱情可能会消逝。性爱也不总是如意，心爱的人可能会死去。对于成人来说，幸福很复杂。
字典里幸福的定义是“幸运”或“好运”，但我认为幸福更好的定义是“感受快乐的能力”。更多地享受我们拥有的一切，我们就能更多地享受幸福。但是，爱与被爱，友人相伴，简单的生活，甚至健康的体魄，这些细碎的快乐却很容易被我们忽视。
我合计了一下昨日的幸福时光，首先我准备好了最后一个午餐饭盒，独享整个房间，感受无比的幸福。然后，整个早上，我都在写作而无人打扰，这是我乐于做的。孩子们回到家，我又享受着寂静一天后的热闹。
不久，再次恢复宁静，我和丈夫享受另一种快乐——亲热。有时候只要想到他需要我，就能给我带来快乐。
你永远不会知道幸福下一次会在什么时候出现。当我问起朋友，什么能给他们带来幸福时，有些人会提到一些看似微不足道的小事。“我讨厌购物，”一个朋友说，“但有一个健谈的售货员的确令我很开心。”另一个朋友喜欢接电话，“每次电话一响，我就知道有人想我了。”
我喜欢开车的刺激。一天，我停下来，让一辆学校班车拐到路边。那个司机咧嘴一笑，会意地竖起大拇指。在一个充满飚车党的世界，我们俩结成了同盟。这让我很开心。
我们都有过类似的经历。但很少有人能意识到这就是幸福。
心理学家告诉我们，幸福既需要愉快的休闲时间，也需要满意的工作。我的曾祖母让我很疑惑，她养育了14个孩子，还要给别人洗衣服，看起来，她并没有休闲的时间，也没有满意的工作。但她有几个亲密的朋友和和睦的家。或许，这已使她很满足了。如果说她因自己拥有的一切感到幸福，或许是因为她并不希望生活是另一番样子。
另一方面，我们因为有太多的选择及想在各个领域成功的压力，让我们把幸福变成“必须得到”的一种东西。我们自私地以为我们有“权”得到它，这也是我们痛苦的根源。所以我们去追求幸福，并将它同财富和成功联系起来，而没有意识到拥有财富和成功的人并不一定更幸福。
对我们来说，幸福是复杂多样的，但获得幸福的方式却是相同的。幸福不是发生在我们周围的事——而是我们如何去看待周围发生的事。这是变不利为有利，化挫折为激励的秘诀。幸福并非是乞求我们未得到的，而是享受我们此刻所拥有的一切。Practising&Exercise 实战提升篇实用句型She did have a network of close friends and family，and maybe this was what fulfilled her.她有几个亲密的朋友和和睦的家庭，或许，这已使她很满足了。①did 在这里起强调作用，可翻译为“确实”。②a network of一些，类似的表达还有a crowd of许多；a number of一些等固定搭配。翻译行不行1.在精力充沛的年轻时代，他从未停止对自己梦想的追求。(chase after)2.他把座位让给了一位老人。(give up)3.塞翁失马，安知非福；塞翁得马，安知非祸。(on the other hand)
Five Balls of Life 生命中的五个球
·Meade·In a university commencement address several years ago，Brian Dyson，CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises，spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments:
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them work，family，health，friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it，it will bounce back.
But the other four balls family，health，friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these，they will be irrevocably scuffed，marked，nicked，damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life，for without them，life is meaningless.
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time，you live ALL the days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it；the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly；and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been，but also where you are going.
Don’t forget，a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless，a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
Life is not a race，but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
