一千零一夜之620夜:唤醒自己的夜
0001
You Cannot Grow Unless You Are Willing To Change.
除非你愿意做出改变,否则你永远不会成长!
(我知道,改变很难。那就从小处着手吧,但要从现在做起!比如开始这个双语鸡汤之旅。Start small, but start NOW.)
0002
Don't Complain About Anything Unless You're Prepared To Do Something About It
不要抱怨任何事情,除非你已做好解决问题的准备。
(其实,我们偶尔也会怨天忧人,好像不发发牢骚就很不爽。如果是想通过发泄缓解压力,偶尔吐吐槽也未尝不可,但最好还是don't complain about anything or anyone,特别是 don't speak ill of others behind their backs,不要背后说人坏话。Just do your best.)
0003
One Day You'll Look Back And Realize That You Worried Too Much About Things That Don't Really Matter
总有一天,当你回首往昔,你会意识到:你曾经那么在乎的某些事情,其实并不重要。
( 佛家有云:大肚能容,容天下难容之事;笑口常开,笑天下可笑之人。坐看芸芸众生的气度不失为一种融冰融雪的博大胸怀。淡化得失,才能少一些烦恼,多一份超脱。成长,其实跟求佛一样,应追求一种境界。Strong enough to be gentle.)
0004
Never Stop Trying.
Never Stop Believing.
Never give up.
Your day will come.
永远不要放弃努力,
永远不要丧失信心。
只要坚持,
梦想总会照进现实!
(有时候,我们也会沮丧,甚至感到绝望,因为前行中折断了翅膀;但我们不能放弃啊,因为,如果心真的冷了,梦想也就真的变成了幻想!)
把《我心飞翔》I Believe I Can Fly中的一段歌词送给大家:
If I can see it,
Then I can do it
If I just believe it
There's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away.
0005
Deep Conversations With The Right People Are Priceless
跟对的人进行深入对话将让你受益终生!
(跟高手过招,是一种挑战,但更是一种机遇。每一次华山论剑的机会,都值得好好珍惜!不过,话说回来,要上华山,自己得有真功夫。打铁还需自身硬!To be a blacksmith, you need to be tough yourself”。)
0006
Don't Wait For People to Be Kind/Friendly. Show Them How.
不要等待他人变得友善,用你的言行举止告诉他们该怎么做。
(已所欲,先施于人。有时候,对方并非不友善之人,或许是性格的原因,或许受文化的束缚,或许只是不够勇敢,你何不先主动迈出一步呢?俗话说的好:人心都是肉长的。只要你是真心真意,对方就不太可能还铁石心肠了。Treat other people as you hope they will treat you.)
