  :Move Forward

  With age comes experience and with experience comes knowledge and understanding. No one individual is ever completed with his or her growth. For the wisest of all men has death to face. And with death imminent for all, one will still have to face fear till the very end of one's existence. So to take what one learns through life and to press on towards the goals set will one begin to face new, challenging, and sometimes even exciting new fears. Life will never complete itself until one has completed the life he is given. Therefore it is incredibly irresponsible to merely accept death as the imminent future, settle into a comfort zone naught of challenge, and to merely exist. Could a better definition of waste be drawn?

  It is each and everyone's responsibility to konw who he is. And it is, therefore, each and everyone's responsibility to take what he has as genetic tools to better his life and to better the lives of others. For if all accepted individuality and accepted the individuality of others, then all would have the sympathy for one another.

  This is harmony; the ideal nature of life by which life is then lived. To live in harmony with one another is but a simple step forward in one's thinking.

  Once one has recognized one's individuality, accepted one's fears, and chosen to set goals and move foward with the important aid of hope, will one have truly conquered living life.

  經驗伴隨著年齡增長,知識與寬容伴隨著經驗增長。人的增長空間是無限的,因為最聰明的人也要面對死亡。死亡對每個人來說都不遠。只要人活著,就會有未知的事物去面對。

  所以,一個人終生學習,向目標奮進,就會迎來新的挑戰,有時甚至是新的恐懼。生活從不會自己終結,除非你終結生命。因此,垂手等待死亡,期待一個毫無挑戰的安樂鄉,只是為了活下去,這是對自己的不負責任。還有比被喻為垃圾更好的定義嗎?

  每個人都應當知道自己是誰,而且他應該用自己天生的能力改變自己的生活,以及別人的生活。因為如果每個人都認同個體的存在及其他個體的存在,那麼他就會對其他人有同情之心。

  這就是和諧——生活的最高境界。與他人和諧共處其實是隻要人這麼想就能辦到的。只要一個人認同了他的個體性、接受他的恐懼、選擇了目標、懷著希望奮勇前進,那麼他就真正地戰勝生活了。

  :Grow Great by Dreams

  The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman, "How have you done so much in your lifetime?"

  He replied, "I have dreamed. I have turned my mind loose to imagine what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I awoke in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams real. While other people were saying, 'You can't do that, it is impossible,' I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted." As Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the U.S., said: "We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers."

  They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter's evening. Some of us let these dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true.

  So please, don not let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they are too impossible.

  "Sing your songs, and dream your dreams, hope your hope and pray your prayer."

  曾經有人問一個非常成功的商人:“你是怎樣在有生之年取得這樣的成就呢?”

  他回答:“我做夢。我放飛自己的思想,想象自己想要的東西。然後我就上床,沉思自己的夢想。那個晚上,我就可以夢到自己的夢想。當第二天早上醒來,我就看到了通向夢想的路。當別人對我說:‘你做不到,這不可能’,而我總是堅持實現自己夢想的路。”正如美國第28屆總統伍德魯?威爾遜所說:“我們因為夢想而變得偉大。所有偉人都是夢想家。”

  他們在春天的薄霧或冬夜的篝火裡辨清事物。我們有些人讓夢想消失,但有些人卻培養、保護它們;在生命低潮時仍然培養它們直到看到太陽和光明,而這些只屬於那些真誠希望實現夢想的人們。

  所以,請不要讓別人偷走你的夢想,或者讓他們對你說夢想太遙不可及。

  “唱你的歌,做你的夢,給你的希望以希望,給你的祈禱以祈禱。”

  :Today I begin a new life.

  And I make a solemn oath to myself that nothing will retard my new life's growth. I will lose not a day from these readings for that day cannot be retrieved nor can I substitute another for it. I must not , I will not, break this habit of daily reading from these scrolls and, in truth, the few moments spent each day on this new habit are but a small price to pay for the happiness and success that will be mine.

  As I read and re-read the words in the scrolls to follow, never will I allow the brevity of each scroll nor the simplicity of its words to cause me to treat the scroll's message lightly. Thousands of grapes are pressed to fill one jar with wine, and the grapeskin and pulp are tossed to the birds. So it is with these grapes of wisdom from the ages. Much has been filtered and tossed to the wind.Only the pure truth lies distilled in the words to come. I will drink as instructed and spill not a drop. And the seed of success I will swallow.

  Today my old skin has become as dust. I will walk tall among men and they will know me not , for today I am a new man, with a new life.

  今天,我開始新的生活

  我鄭重地發誓,絕不讓任何事情妨礙我新生命的成長。在閱讀這些讀物的時候,我絕不浪費一天的時間,因為時光一去不返,失去的日子是無法彌補的。我也絕不打破每天閱讀的習慣。事實上,每天在這些新習慣上花費少許時間,相對於可能獲得的愉樂與成功而言,只是微不足道的代價。

  當我閱讀書卷中的字句時,絕不能因為文字的精煉而忽視內容的深沉。一瓶葡萄美酒需要千百顆果子釀製而成,果皮和渣子拋給小鳥。葡萄的智慧代代相傳,有些被過濾,有些被淘汰,隨風飄逝。只有純正的真理才是永恆的。它們就精煉在我要閱讀的文字中。我要依照指示,絕不浪費,飲下成功的種子。

  今天,我的老繭化為塵埃。我在人群中昂首闊步,不會有人認出我來,因為我不再是過去的自己、我已擁有新的生命。
