一、TODAY IS A NEW DAY

------ Donna Levine

Your tomorrows are as bright

as you want to make them.

There is no reason to carry

the darkness of the past

with you into today.

Today is a wonderful new experience，

full of every possibility to make

your life exactly what you want it to be.

Today is the beginning of new happiness,

new directions and new relationships.

Today is the day to remind yourself

that you posses the power

and strength you need

to bring contentment, love and joy into your life.

Today is the day to understand yourself

and to give yourself the love

and the patience that you need.

Today is the day to move forward

towards your bright tomorrow.

今天是新的一天

唐那·莱文 陈采霞译

你的明天充满阳光，

如你心中所想。

你没有理由，

把昨天的黑暗，

带到今天。

今天是美妙的全新体验，

有那么多种可能，

使你的生活如你所愿。

今天开始有新的幸福，

新的方向和新的伙伴。

今天你要提醒自己，

你有足够的能力和力量，

把满意、爱情和欢乐带进你的生活。

今天你要了解自己，

给自己足够的爱心和耐心。

今天你会勇往直前，

奔向那灿烂的明天。

WHAT IS SUCCESS

------ Ralph Waldo Emerson

What is success?

To laugh often and love much;

To win the respect of intelligent people

And the affection of children;

To earn the approbation of honest critics

And endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To give one's self;

To leave the world a little better,

Whether by a healthy child,

A garden patch,

Or a redeemed social condition;

To have played and laughed with enthusiasm

And sung with exultation;

To know even one life has breathed easier，

Because you have lived...

This is to have succeeded.

成功的内涵

拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生 陈采霞译

成功是什么?

笑口常开，爱心永在，

赢得智者的尊重，

孩子们的爱戴;

博得真诚的认可，

容忍损友的背叛;

欣赏美好的东西，

发现别人的可爱。

学会无私地奉献，

给世界增添光彩：

要么培育出健康的孩子，

要么留下花园一块，

亦或是改善社会条件;

尽情娱乐、笑得畅快，

把欢乐的歌唱起来;

甚至知道一个生命活得自在，

因为你的一路走来……

这就是成功的内涵。

三、ON CHANGES

-------Irene Dunlap

Change is the only absolute

in the world,

the only thing

that you can depend on.

Nothing stays the same.

Tomorrow will come,

bringing with it

new beginnings and sometimes

unexpected endings.

You can hold on to the past

and get left in the dust;

or, you can choose to

jump on the ride of life

and live a new adventure

with perseverance

and an open mind.

论变化

艾琳·邓莱普 陈采霞译

变化是世界上

惟一绝对的东西，

是惟一

你能相信的事情。

没有什么能一成不变，

明天将来临，

它会带来

新的开始，并且有时

还会带来意想不到的结局。

你可以抓住过去，

蒙受遗弃;

或者，你可以选择

跃上生命之车

进行一次新的冒险，

凭借坚持不懈

和广阔的胸怀。

四、FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE

Neil Simon

Don't listen to those who say,

“It's not done that way.”

Maybe it's not, but maybe you will.

Don't listen to those who say,

“You're taking too big a chance.”

Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor,

and it would surely be rubbed out by today.

Most importantly, don't listen

When the little voice of fear inside of you

rear its ugly head and says,

“They're all smarter than you out there.

They're more talented,

They're taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connections...”

I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you,

Not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others,

But with the strength of conviction

That you can move others by your own efforts,

And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live,

The chances are you'll be a person worthy of your own respect.

走自己的路

尼尔·西蒙 陈采霞译

别听那些人的话，

“这事不能那么做。”

也许是不能那么做，可是也许你就会那么做。

别听那些人的话，

“你这个险冒得太大了。”

米开朗琪罗可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作过画，

到今天肯定已经被抹掉了。

最重要的是，

当你心中恐惧的声音，

抬起它丑陋的头说，

“那边那些人都比你聪明，

他们更有才华，

他们更高大、皮肤更白、更漂亮、更幸运，

并且认识各种各样的人…”

你可千万别理会。

我坚信只要选择一条你感兴趣的路，

不排除爱情、敏锐以及与别人的合作，

而是坚定地认为，

通过你自身的努力能够感动他人，

不把成功或者失败作为你生活的标准，

那么你就可能成为值得自己敬佩的人。
