　　永不放棄希望

　　Never give up hope 永不放棄希望

　　Life doesn't always give us the joys we want. we don't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don't always get our own way. but don't give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.

　　生活並非總是如你所願。希望有時會落空，夢想有時會破滅，我們不能一切隨心所願。但別放棄希望，因為事物並非一成不變;不同時間，不同場合，你會呈現不同的面貌。

　　Look for the beauty around you--in nature, in others, in yourself--and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind. you can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. it is all around, if you just look for it.

　　處處留心你身邊的美麗：自然中的美，他人的美，你自己的美。請相信，美來自朋友、家庭乃至全人類的融融愛意。一個微笑，一雙援助之手，一個關心的舉止，一句友善的話語，無不傳達著愛。如果你有心去尋找，愛無所不在。
