　　：熱愛生活Love Your Life

　　However difficult your life is, meet it and love it.

　　不論生活如何艱辛,你要正視它、熱愛它。

　　Do not avoid it and call it names1. It is not as bad as you think. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.

　　不要躲避它,更不要用惡言咒罵它。它並不像你想象的那樣壞。也許在你最富有的時候卻是它看起來最貧乏的時候。吹毛求疵的人就算在天堂也能找到缺點。

　　Love your life. Poor sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s house. duanwenw The snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I can only see a quiet mind living as contentedly there, and have as cheerful thoughts, as in a palace.

　　熱愛生活吧!濟貧院的窗戶反射的陽光同富人家窗戶反射的一樣明亮;春天濟貧院門前的積雪也一樣會早早融化。在那裡,我只看到人們像住在宮殿一樣,思想平靜、滿足,心情愉悅。

　　The town’s poor seem to me to live the most independent lives of any. duanwenw Maybe they are simply great enough to receive without doubt. Most think that they are above being supported by the town, but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means, which should be more disreputable4. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn to the old, and return to them.

　　在我看來城鎮中的窮人往往過著最獨立的生活。或許他們只是足夠偉大而可以毫無疑問地接受生活。大多數人以為自己沒有依賴政府救濟來養活;可是事實上他們通常利用了不正當的手段來過活,這是更加不體面的。不要為了過分追求新東西而困擾你自己,無論是朋友或衣服。去找你的老朋友或者舊衣服,迴歸應有的生活。

　　Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

　　東西並未改變,是我們自己變了。賣掉那些不必要的衣服吧,但是要保留你的思想。

　　：再多一點點A Little Bit More

　　Today is an excellent day for small improvements. Whatever is working for you, find a way to improve it just a little. There’s no need to make a huge change, just a small one, something you can do right now.

　　今天就是你可以做改進的極好的一天。無論你在做什麼,找一個方法去做一點點的改進。不用做太大的改變,只要一點點——你現在可以做到的一點點。

　　If you called just one additional customer each day, over the course of the next month you would talk to about 20 new people. duanwenw If you learned just one more new word each day, in the next year you would increase your vocabulary by more than 300 words.

　　如果你每天多給一個顧客打電話的話,一個月下來你會發現你又多認識了差不多二十個人。如果每天多學會一個新詞,過一年,你的詞彙量將會增加300多個。

　　Small improvements can add up over time into big accomplishments. Look around you. duanwenw Consider the work you do each day. Think about how you could do it just a little bit better.

　　小小的改進能夠逐步積累成大的成就。觀察你的周圍。思考你每天所做的工作。想一下你怎麼能做得更好一點。

　　In a marathon race, each step the winner takes is just a little bit longer and a little bit faster than each stride taken by the 100th place finisher. Yet over the course of the race, that small difference adds up in a big way.

　　在馬拉松比賽中,冠軍的每一步都只比第一百名的選手的步伐大一點點、快一點點。但是在比賽過程中,那些小小的不同積累成了巨大的區別。

　　Do just a little bit more today, and tomorrow too, and each day after that. Anyone can make just a small improvement, and that can make a big, big difference.

　　今天、明天、今後的每一天盡力做更多一點點。任何人都能做一點小小的改進,但那小小的改進將會起到非常大、非常大的作用。

　　：代價The Price You Pay

　　The Creator sells us good things at the price of labor, effort, and persistence. We pay for our high ideals, sometimes, with great loneliness.

　　造物主以勞動、努力和持之以恆為價給予我們好的東西。為了崇高的理想有時我們付出孤獨的代價。

　　We pay for life itself through efforts to sustain it, and even more to train it into worthwhile channels and to keep it there. We pay for our sorrow and losses and errors sometimes with anger, sometimes with endurance1 and quiet, or best with tender and hopeful resignation.

　　就是生命本身也是需要付出代價的,我們付出努力使生命延續。甚至,我們付出更多讓生命變成實現價值的手段,並盡力保持這一點。我們為悲傷,失落和錯誤付出代價。有時用憤怒,有時是用忍耐和沉默,或者最好的是用溫柔和順從。

　　But whatever coin we give we know at least that nothing may be had for nothing. duanwenw What do we most desire to buy? Are we able and willing to pay the price?

　　但無論我們付出了什麼,至少我們明白沒有付出就不會收穫。我們最渴望得到的是什麼?我們能夠並且願意為它付出代價嗎?

　　If we choose to buy pleasure, ease, and self-indulgence, somehow we must scrape together the purchase price. We may not eat our cake and have it too.

　　如果我們選擇得到快樂,悠閒和放縱,那我們也要付出相應的代價。魚與熊掌不可兼得。

　　Haven’t you noticed what a high price those who drift through life, trusting to get the rewards of labor and avoid making payments, pay in the end?

　　你沒發現嗎?那些一心期望在生活中不勞而獲的人最終付出了巨大的代價。

　　On one occasion, a lady said to a famous violinist, duanwenw "I would give half my life to be able to play like you do." "That madam," he replied, "is exactly what I have given to do it."

　　某次,一位女士對一位著名小提琴家說:"如果我能彈奏得像您一樣精彩,我寧願獻出我的半生。""太太,"他答到,"這確實就是我所付出的。"
