努力保持生活的平衡 (文摘)

  Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.  You name them-work , family, health, friends and spirit and you`re  keeping all of 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, they will be irrvocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.

  想象生命是一種往空中拋五個球的遊戲，你把這五個球分別取名為：工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心靈，而且你要努力不讓它們落地。你很快會了解到工作是一個橡皮球。如果你讓它落地了，它還是會反彈起來。但是，家庭、健康、朋友和心靈這四個球是用玻璃做成的。如果你讓它們掉到地上，它們將會不可避免地遭到磨損，留下印記、劃痕，摔破甚至碎落一地。它們將永遠不會跟以前一樣。

  You must understand that and strive for balance in your life . How?
  Don`t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with 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 they were 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 to each together.
  Don`t be afraid to encounter risks. 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 to hold it too tightly , and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
  不要以真愛難求為借口而緊閉心扉。找到愛最快的方法就是給予你的愛；失去愛最快的方法就是緊緊地守著你的愛不放；維係愛的最好方式就是給愛一雙翅膀。
  Don`t run through 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.
  不要忘記，人類最大的情感需要是被人欣賞。
  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 a Mystery   And Today is Gift....that`s why we call it The Present.
  生活不是一場賽跑，而是每一步都需體味的旅程。昨天已成曆史，明天還未可知，而今天則是一份禮物：那就是我們為什麽稱它為"當下"。
