佳言人生

　　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 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 irrevocably scuffed , marked, nicked , damaged or even shattered . they will never be the same. 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 you would cling 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 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.

　　don t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you ve been, but also where you are going.

　　把生活想象成一个在空中抛接五只球的游戏。这五只球被你分别称为：工作、家庭、健康、友谊和精神。你努力不让它们从空中掉下来。你马上就发现惟有工作是一个橡皮球。如果你将它掉到地上，它还会弹回来。但其它四只球——家庭、健康、朋友和精神都是玻璃的。如果你把任何一个掉到地上，便会不可挽回地留下疤痕、裂缝、受损甚至摔得粉碎。它们永远也无法恢复原样。你必须懂得这一点并在生活中努力保持平衡。

　　怎样做到这一点呢?

　　不要总拿自己与别人比从而贬低自身的价值。正因为我们彼此的差异不同，我们才会各有千秋。

　　别人认为重要，并不能作为你确定目标的根据。只有你自己知道，什么东西对你最好。

　　与你内心最贴近的东西，切莫等闲视之。要像坚守生命一样坚守住它们，因为失去它们，生活就会毫无意义。

　　不要耽于过去或未来，而让生命从指间悄悄溜走。一次只活一天，活在今日，你就充实地活过生命中的每一天。如果你还可以付出，就不要轻言放弃。在你停止努力那一刻之前，什么都没有真正结束。

　　正因为我们都不完美，我们才会彼此需要。

　　不要害怕遭遇风险。只有通过冒险，我们才能学会如何变得勇敢。

　　别说真爱难求，而将爱拒之门于生活之外。获得爱的捷径是给予爱，失去爱的捷径是扼住爱，而守住爱的捷径是给爱插上翅膀。

　　不要一生奔忙，匆匆而过，以至于忘了自己从何而来，往何而去。

　　不要忘记一个人最大的感情需要是得到别人的理解。
