Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them: Work, Family, Health, Friends, Spirit. And you're keeping all these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will
bounce back. But the other four balls-family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered They will never be the same. You must understand that and
strive for奋斗, 争取 balance in your life.
How?
Don't
undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would to your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop
trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this
fragile thread that binds us each together.
Don't be afraid to It is by
taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by
saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is hold it too
tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't run though life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words
carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is mystery and Today is a gift: that's why we call it "The Present".
想象生活是一场比赛,就像你在空中耍弄五个球一样,它们分别是:工作、家庭、健康、朋友以及灵魂,你必须同时在空中丢接这五个球,而且不能让任何一个球落地。你很快就会发现工作是一个橡皮球,如果它掉在地上,它会再反弹回去,但是其它四个球:家庭、健康、朋友和灵魂是玻璃制成的,如果你让这四个球其中任何一个落下来,它就免不了会磨损、会有显著的缺口、会损坏、甚至会摔得粉碎,它们将不能恢复成原先的样子了。因此,你应该明白这一点,还要在生活中要设法使它们得到平衡。
但这要怎么做呢?
1.不要贬低了自己的价值去与他人做比较,因为每个人都是不同的,每个人都有自己的独特之处。
2.不要将别人认为重要的事,订为你自己要达成的目标,只有你自己知道你最需要的是什么。
3.不要将最贴心的事物视为理所当然,要珍惜生活中所拥有的一切,因为一旦失去了它们,你的生活将失去意义。
4.不要总活在过去或只是为了憧憬未来而让你的生命从指端滑落。把握好眼前的,你将每天过着充实的生活。
5.不要轻言放弃,当你还可以给予时;在你停止尝试之前,没有任何事情已经真正结束了。
6.不要害怕承认自己还不够完美,因为这是将我们联结在一起的微弱联系。
7.不要害怕面遇到风险,我们在尝试中将学会勇敢。
8.不要说真爱难寻,而将它排除于你的生活之外。接受爱的最快方法是给予,将爱抓得太紧将会很快失去它,而保持爱的最好方法是给它自由。
9.不要匆忙的过生活而忘了自己曾经历过的种种事物,以及自己未来的方向。
10.不要忘了,一个人最伟大的情感需要是得到他人的欣赏。
11.不要惧怕学习,知识是没有重量的,是一笔你永远可以轻易携带的财富。
12.不要随意挥霍时间或话语,这两样事物是无法收回的。
生活不是一场竞赛,但是在这条路上,每一步都能会令你回味无穷。
昨天已成为历史,明天仍然是个未知数,而今天则是一份礼物,这就是我们称它为"今天"的原因。
