Of all the things that can be stolen from you – your possessions, your youth, your health, your words, your rights – what no one can ever take from you is…
有的東西是可以被偷走的——你的財產(chǎn)、你的青春、你的健康、你的文字、你的權(quán)力——而有的東西是誰也偷不走的……
1. Your uniqueness.
你的獨特性
You are unrepeatable. There is a magic about you that is all your own. Having a low opinion of yourself is not humility, it’s self-destruction. Holding your uniqueness in high regard is not egotism, it’s a necessary precondition to happiness and success. You deserve to wear a smile in your heart. Not because of what you have or what you do, but because of who you are. Yes, you are changing each day, but you are always amazing just as you are.
你是不可復制的。這是你專屬的一種魔力。貶低自己不是謙虛,而是自我毀滅。重視自己的獨特性并不是自負,而是獲得快樂和成功的先決條件。你值得在內(nèi)心綻放出微笑,不是因為你擁有些什么或者做了些什么,而是因為你就是你。是的,你每天都在發(fā)生變化,但你永遠那么驚艷,這就是你。
2. How you feel about yourself.
你對自己的感覺
It takes a long time to learn how to NOT judge yourself through someone else’s eyes, but once you do the world is yours for the taking. We have all been placed on this earth to discover our own life, and we will never be happy or successful if we try to live someone else’s idea of it. So give up worrying too much about what others think of you. What they think isn’t all that important. What is important is how you feel about yourself.
我們需要很長時間才能學會,如何不通過他人的眼光來評價自己。然而你一旦學會,整個世界都在你手中。我們來到這個世界都是為了探尋自己的生活,如果我們試圖按照別人的方式去生活,我們永遠不會獲得快樂和成功。所以別太擔心他人對你的看法。他們的想法沒那么重要。重要的是你如何看待自己。
3. Your intuition.
你的直覺
If you’re thinking just like everyone else, you aren’t really thinking. Follow your intuition. Do what makes sense to you. Never compare your journey to someone else’s. Everyone has their own struggles, their own challenges, and a different path that they chose to get to where they are. Remember, you don’t need to wait for external circumstances to perfectly align in order to show up for the life you’ve been dreaming of. What you’re looking for is already somewhere inside you.
如果你的思維方式總是和他人一樣,你并沒有真正在思考。跟隨你的直覺。做那些對你有意義的事情。永遠不要把你的生命旅程和別人的比較。每個人都會遇到自己的困境和挑戰(zhàn),每個人也都會選擇不同的道路通向目的地。記住,你沒有必要等到萬事俱備才去爭取你夢想中的生活。你所追尋的東西其實已經(jīng)存在你心里的某個地方。
4. Your passion.
你的激情
If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now. Find your passion, whatever it is. Become it, let it become you, and great things will happen FOR you, TO you, and BECAUSE of you. And even if things don’t work out as planned, you’ll still be heading in the right direction. Because nothing you have passion for is ever a waste of time, no matter how it turns out.
如果有那么一個時刻,你應該追隨自己的激情做一些對你重要的事情,那么就是現(xiàn)在了。去發(fā)現(xiàn)你所熱愛的事情,不論是什么。成為這件事的一部分,也讓這件事成為你生活的一部分,然后美好的事情就會因此降臨。即使事情并沒有按計劃那樣進行,你依然朝著正確的方向前進。因為做那些讓你毫無激情的事情就是在浪費時間,不管這些事情能帶來什么結(jié)果。
5. Your determination.
你的決心
When life gives you something that makes you feel afraid, that’s when life gives you a chance to grow strong and be brave. Nothing is permanent in this crazy world, not even your mistakes, failures, or troubles. If you keep your eyes open and your feet moving forward, you’ll eventually find what you need.
當生活中的某些事情讓你感到害怕時,其實也是給你一個機會,讓你變得更堅強更勇敢。在這個瘋狂的世界上,沒有什么東西是永恒的,你的錯誤、失敗和煩惱也不是揮之不去的。只要你擦亮眼睛不斷前進,你最終會找到你需要的東西。
6. Your attitude.
你的態(tài)度
Something nobody can take away from you is the way you choose to respond to what others say and do to you. The last of your freedoms is to choose your attitude in any given circumstance. Choose to be happy and positive. It is not always easy to find happiness in ourselves, but it is always impossible to find it elsewhere. Regardless of the situation we face, our attitude is our choice. So smile as you walk away and move on from negative people and their actions.
有一樣東西是誰也不能從你身上拿走的,那就是你回應他人對你的所作所為的態(tài)度。你最后的一項自由就是選擇以何種態(tài)度應對周圍的環(huán)境。讓自己樂觀積極一些。在自己身上找到快樂并不總是那么容易,但在別處找到快樂就更不可能。不管我們面對怎樣的環(huán)境,我們的態(tài)度就是我們的選擇。所以請遠離那些消極的人和事,微笑著離開。
7. Your ability to spread love and kindness.
你傳播愛和善良的能力
The measure of your life will not be in what you accumulate, but in what you give away. And 99 percent of the time you get what you put in, so give freely. Charity can be in the form of a smile, lending an ear or a helping hand. There are many acts of kindness that don’t cost a cent. Remember, the ultimate goal of all goals is to be happy. If you want to be happy make those around you happy.
衡量生命的標準并不是你得到了什么,而是你給予了什么。99%的情況下你付出什么就會收獲什么,所以請毫無保留地付出吧。慈善的形式有很多,可以是展露微笑,側(cè)耳傾聽或者伸出援手。有許多善舉是不需要花一分錢的。記住,所有目標的終極目標是讓人快樂。如果你想要快樂,就讓周圍的人快樂起來吧。
8. Your hope.
你的希望
It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it. The biggest obstacles that stand between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it, and the faith to believe it’s possible. Hope is the little voice inside your head that whispers “maybe” when it seems like the whole world is shouting “impossible!”
把你壓垮的不是你肩上的重擔,而是你扛起重擔的方式。我們在實現(xiàn)夢想的道路上最大的障礙就是敢于嘗試的決心,和相信美夢成真的信念。希望就是當全世界朝你大喊“不可能”時,在你的頭腦深處依然有一個小聲音在說“有可能”。
9. Your knowledge and life experiences.
你的知識和人生經(jīng)歷
Character and wisdom are sculpted over time. They come with loss, lessons, and triumphs. They come after doubts, second guesses, and unknowns. If there was a definitive path to success, everyone would be on it. The seeds of your success are planted in your past failures. Your best stories will come from overcoming your greatest struggles. Your praises will be birthed from your pains. So keep standing, keep learning, and keep living.
品質(zhì)和智慧是隨時間雕琢而成的。這個過程伴隨著失敗、教訓和成功。你需要經(jīng)歷懷疑、反復猜測和未知才會收獲它們。如果有一條明確的道路通向成功,那就沒有人會失敗了。成功的種子正是在你過去的失敗中播下的。你最棒的經(jīng)歷一定和克服最大的困難有關(guān)。你承受的痛苦里將會孕育贊美。所以挺直腰板,繼續(xù)學習,繼續(xù)生活。
10. Your choice to move on emotionally.
你對待感情的灑脫
Don’t let past relationships and old mistakes ruin your future. Don’t let someone or something that didn’t make it in your life continue to hurt you. If you do, you’re still giving a portion of your life to something that no longer exists – it’s like letting your happiness slip into a black hole. Learn the lesson, release the pain, and move on. Scars remind us of where we have been, not where we are headed.
別讓過去的感情和錯誤毀掉你的未來。別讓那些對你的生活已經(jīng)沒有意義的人或事繼續(xù)傷害你。如果你還這樣做,你就是在讓一些已經(jīng)不存在的東西來瓜分你的生活——就好像放任自己的幸福被黑洞吞噬。吸取教訓,釋放痛苦,然后繼續(xù)前進。傷痕只是用來提醒我們曾在何處,而并非去向何方。?
