　　：人生的四季

　　Our journey on earth consists, like the year, of four seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter.

　　我們在世間的旅程，就像年輪一樣，包含著春夏秋冬四個季節。

　　Life is only loaned to us, and as with everything borrowed, must someday be returned. We are only here for a short stay, and have many tasks. We must contend with pain in order to achieve peace, accept problems if we are to reach success, and shed tears if we are to share laughter. duanwenw We have many lessons to learn. Each and every moment of life is an important one.

　　生命僅僅是我們暫時借來的，如同所有借來的東西，總有一天得還回去。我們在此只是短暫地停留，並有很多工需要完成。想要獲得安寧，我們必須忍受痛苦;想要獲得成功，我們就必須面對種種困難;想要分享歡笑，就得流下淚水。我們有很多課程要學習。生命中的每一個時刻都舉足輕重。

　　In spring, everything grows fresh and new. Lilacs blossom, and the maple and oak trees produce new leaves. It is a time when we are as if newly born into the world.

　　春天是萬物復甦的季節。丁香開花了，楓樹和橡樹也都吐露新的枝葉。這就好像我們剛剛來到這世上。

　　You are now entering the summer of your life. Everything is now in full bloom. The trees and flowers proudly display all their beauty and elegance. This season doesn’t seem as if it will end, yet it slips by before you know it.

　　然後，你會步入人生的夏天。萬物都處於繁茂的時刻。花草樹木自豪地展示著它們的美麗與優雅。這樣的季節看起來不會結束，但卻在你不經意的時候悄然劃過。

　　The fall is next, when the leaves drop to the ground, and the farmers gather their crops and reap the rewards of their labor. The harvest moon is full and round, and slightly misted by a passing cloud. This is the most satisfying of the four seasons.

　　接下來就是秋天了。樹木的葉子都落了，農民們忙著收穫莊稼，收穫他們的勞動成果。月兒圓圓的，還被偶爾經過的雲蒙上一層薄薄的輕霧。這是最令人感到滿足的一個季節。

　　Then all too quickly the winter of your life is upon you, and everything is barren. However, duanwenw there is a peaceful sort of beauty in the wintertime. If you allow your spirit to be free, you will remain youthful longer than you thought possible.

　　然後，很快地，生命就會面臨人生的冬天，此時萬物皆荒涼。然而，冬季卻有一種平和的美。如果你肯放飛心靈，你肯定會比想象中的自己更加年輕。

　　Is winter truly the season to end all seasons?

　　冬天真的是四季的尾聲嗎?

　　：生而為贏

　　Each human being is new and unique — something that has never existed before. Each person has a unique way of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and thinking, and a unique capacity for success.

　　凡人皆生而為新，前所未有之存在。人皆有其獨特審視、聆聽、觸控、品味及思考之方式和獨一無二的獲得成功的能力。

　　The words “winner” and “loser” have many meanings. When we refer to a person as a winner, we do not mean someone who makes someone else lose. duanwenw To us, a winner is someone who responds faithfully by being dependable, trustworthy and sincere, both as an individual and as a member of a society.

　　“成功者”與“失敗者”含義頗多。但凡成功者我們並非指令他人失意者。於我們而言，成功者必須守信於人，值得信賴，態度誠懇，無論作為個人還是社會的一員。

　　Winners do not dedicate their lives to what they imagine they should be; rather, they are themselves and do not use their energy to put on a performance, maintain pretence or control others. They are aware that there is a difference between being loving and acting loving, between being stupid and acting stupid, and between being knowledgeable and acting knowledgeable. Winners do not need to hide behind masks.

　　成功者做事不侷限於某種信條，奉行自我而不潛心於表演、偽裝自己或操控他人。他們明瞭真愛與偽愛、愚蠢與裝傻、博學與賣弄的區別。

　　Winners are not afraid to use their own knowledge. They can separate facts from opinions, and don’t pretend to have all the answers. They listen to others, evaluate what they say, but come to their own conclusions.

　　成功者無須帶有假面具。成功者無畏於用其所學去思考。他們能明辨事實與觀點，但不佯裝無所不曉。他們聽取、權衡他人意見，但有自己的結論。

　　Winners do not play “helpless”, nor do they play the “blame game”. They take responsibility for their own lives. They don’t give others a false authority over them. Winners are their own bosses.

　　成功者既不假裝“無助”，亦不責備他人。他們對自己的生命獨擔責任，不以虛偽的權威姿態凌駕於他人之上。他們主宰自己。

　　A winner cares about the world and its people. A winner is not separated from the general problems of society, duanwenw but is concerned, kind-hearted and willing to improve the quality of life. In the face of hard times, a winner works to make the world a better place.

　　成功者心憂天下，對於社會的普遍問題，從不置身事外，而是有一顆關注的心、同情的心，全身心致力於提高人生的質量。即使處境艱難，成功者總是努力令世界更美好。

　　：心靈的一課

　　才能就是相信自己，相信自己的力量。Talents are that you believe in yourself and in your ability.

　　A lesson in "heart" comes from my little 10-year-old daughter, Sarah, who was born with a muscle missing in her foot and wears a brace all the time. She came home on beautiful spring day to tell me she had competed in "field day"——that's where they have lots of races and other competitive events.

　　這心靈的一課來自於我10歲的女兒莎拉。她的腳上天生就少了一塊肌肉，總是要戴腿箍。在美麗春季的一天，她回來告訴我她參加了“田徑節”，田徑節上有很多跑步比賽以及其他各種專案。

　　Because of her leg support, my mind raced as i tried to think of encouragement for my Sarah, duanwenw things I could say to her about not letting this get her down——but before I could get a word out, she said,

　　由於她的腿有問題，我的心劇烈地跳動著，我想對莎拉說些鼓勵的話，希望這件事不會讓她太沮喪。但還不等我開口，莎拉就說了：

　　"Daddy, I won two of the races!"

　　“爸爸，我贏了兩場比賽!”

　　I couldn't believe it! And then Sarah said,

　　我簡直覺得難以置信，可莎拉接著說：

　　"I had an advantage."

　　“我有一個優勢。”

　　Ah, I knew it, I thought she must have been given a head start——some kind of physical advantage. But again, before I could say anything, she said,

　　“啊，我知道了。”我想，她肯定被批准領先起跑了，這種來自生理上的優勢。但還是未等我開口，莎拉又說了：

　　"Daddy, I didn't get a head start——My advantage was I had to try harder!"

　　“爸爸，我沒有先跑，我的優勢就是，我必須更加的努力!”
