　　：一切剛剛開始

　　"We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite…”

　　“我們正在讀一本書的第一章第一行，這本書的頁數是無限的……”

　　I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just as a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.

　　我不知道是誰寫的，可我很喜歡這句話，它提醒我們未來是由自己創造的。我們可以把神祕、不可知的未來塑造成我們想象中的任何模樣，猶如雕刻家將未成形的石頭刻成雕像。

　　We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.

　　我們每個人都像是農夫。灑下良種將有豐收，播下劣種或生滿野草便將毀去收成。沒有耕耘則會一無所獲。

　　I want the future to be better than the past. I don't want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the remainder of our lives.

　　我希望未來比過去更加美好，希望未來不會沾染歷史的錯誤與過失。我們都應舉目向前，因我們的餘生要用未來書寫。

　　The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. duanwenw Everything we do will affect it. Each day brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our business, if we only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.

　　往昔已逝，靜如止水;我們無法再作改變。而前方的未來正生機勃勃;我們所做的每一件事都將會影響著它。只要我們認識到這些，無論是在家中還是在工作上，每天我們的面前都會展現出新的天地。在人類致力開拓的每一片領域上，我們正站在進步的起跑點。

　　：快樂在你心裡

　　How often do you hear people say "I will be happy when ..."such as "When I get that thing, I will be happy," "I will be happy when I pass the exam" and "I would be happy if I had more money". I have heard these things before and I am sure that I will hear them again.

　　"等我得到那個東西就會開心","等我通過那次考試就會開心","等我有更多的錢就會開心",諸如此類的"等……的時候就會開心"話,你聽過不少次吧?我聽過這樣話,而且相信以後還會聽到。

　　Many people want to believe that finding happiness is all about finding or getting something that they want. However, not many people have ever found long-term happiness by achieving a goal. There will always be another thing that they want. There will always be another exam or another dollar.

　　許多人都相信,找到幸福就等於找到或得到他們的心儀之物。然而,很多人並沒有在目標實現之後就獲得長久的幸福。這是因為人們總想要得到更多的東西,總還要走入考場,總還要賺更多的錢。

　　To break this vicious cycle, we must find our happiness somewhere else —within ourselves. In other words, happiness is completely an inside job. The key to finding happiness is to understand that happiness is a choice rather than the result of an experience. We have been given duanwenw everything

　　為了打破這種惡性迴圈,我們必須在其他地方找到幸福——那就是在我們的內心世界裡。換句話說,幸福是心靈的產物。得到幸福的關鍵就在於要懂得幸福是一種選擇,而不是經歷的結果。

　　We need to be happy. Allow yourself to choose happiness. If life was perfect, would you be happy? Life is perfect because we create it with our choices. Since we can create life, we can create happiness and choose how much better our lives can get!

　　我們已經擁有獲得幸福所需要的一切。去選擇自己的幸福吧!倘若生活是完美的,你會覺得幸福嗎?人生之所以完美就因為它是我們通過選擇創造出來的。既然我們能創造生活,我們就能創造幸福,並選擇更美好的人生!

　　Only when we can accept that life is perfect as it is, and that our lives are the sum total of everything that has happened up to this moment, can we accept the joy and the happiness we deserve.

　　我們只有在接受生活原本就很完美,並且生活就是此刻所經歷之事的全部之時,我們才能得到我們應得的那份喜悅與幸福。

　　：決定過你的理想生活

　　What is your most ideal day? Do you know exactly how you want to live your life for the next five days, five weeks, five months or five years? When was the last best day of your life? When is the next?

　　你最理想的一天生活是怎樣的?你知道你想怎樣度過接下來的五天、五週、五個月甚至五年嗎?你度過的最後一個美好的一天是什麼時候?下一個美好的一天又將何時到來?

　　The best day of our lives is today. The past is no longer here. We cannot enjoy it any longer. To dwell on the past is to waste the opportunity to enjoy the present. The future is a promise, a time that will not come because what we have is only today. When tomorrow comes, it will not be tomorrow any more; it becomes your today. You cannot enjoy tomorrow unless you know how to enjoy your today. If you are to live thirty more years, you are going to experience 10,950 todays. But every day that passes without your notice is a day cut off from your life. Your life is a day shorter every new day.

　　在我們的生活中,今天是最美好的。過去已經消逝,我們無法再享受它。沉溺於過去只會糟蹋了享受現在的機會。未來是一句承諾,一段尚未來到的時光,因為我們擁有的只是現在。當明天到來,它也即將不再是明天,而變成你的今天。只有當你懂得如何珍視今天,你才能學會如何享受明天。如果你還有三十年的光陰,你將經歷10950個今天。但每一個逝去卻得不到你注意的日子都是生命的一天損失。每一個嶄新的一天都意味著生命隨之減少一天。

　　Each day is a decision to live. Today is a gift; this is why it is called the "present". How you use this day is up to you. At each new day, you decide whether to unwrap that gift, or let it stay in the corner and spoil. Each day is a decision to live your ideal life.

　　每天都是一次生活的選擇。今天是一份禮物,這也正是為什麼它被稱作"禮物"***英文中,"現在"一詞也有"禮物"的意思***。你將如何利用這一天是你的選擇。每天,你都要作出選擇:是拆開這份禮物,還是把它留在牆角,毀掉它。每天都是一次通往理想生活的抉擇。
