A Ball to Roll Around 滚球

滚球

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what red color is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity can do strange things to people.

4岁那年在大西洋城，我从货场一辆火车上摔下来，头先着地，于是双目失明。现在我已经32岁了。我还模糊地记得阳光是多么灿烂，红色是多么鲜艳。能恢复视觉固然好，但灾难也能对人产生奇妙的作用。

It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.

有一天我突然想到，倘若我不是盲人，我或许不会变得像现在这样热爱生活。现在我相信生活，但我不能肯定如果自己是明眼人，会不会像现在这样深深地相信生活。这并不意味着我宁愿成为盲人，而只是意味着失去视力使我更加珍惜自己其他的能力。

Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was bewildered and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me —a potential to live, you might call it ——which I didn’t see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.

我认为，生活要求人不断地自我调整以适应现实。人愈能及时地进行调整，他的个人世界便愈有意义。调整决非易事。我曾感到茫然害怕，但我很幸运，父母和老师在我身上发现了某种东西——可以称之为活下去的潜力吧——而我自己却没有发现。他们激励我誓与失明拼搏到底。

The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn’t been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down a unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

我必须学会的最艰难的一课就是相信自己，这是基本条件。如做不到这一点，我的精神就会崩溃，只能坐在前门廊的摇椅中度过余生。相信自己并不仅仅指支持我独自走下陌生的楼梯的那种自信，那是一部分。我指的是大事：是坚信自己虽然有缺陷，却是一个真正的有进取心的人;坚信在芸芸众生错综复杂的格局当中，自有我可以安身立命的一席之地。

It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball, I thought he was mocking me and I was hurt. “I can’t use this,” I said. “Take it with you,” he urged me,” and roll it around. “The words stuck in my head.” Roll it around!” By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.

我花了很长时间才树立并不断加强这一信念。这要从最简单的事做起。有一次一个人给我一个室内玩的棒球，我以为他在嘲笑我，心里很难受。“我不能使这个。”我说。“你拿去，”他竭力劝我，“在地上滚。”他的话在我脑子里生了根。“在地上滚!” 滚球使我听见它朝哪儿滚动。我马上想到一个我曾认为不可能达到的目标：打棒球。在费城的奥弗布鲁克盲人学校，我发明了一种很受人欢迎的棒球游戏，我们称它为地面球。

All my life I have set ahead of is a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

我这一辈子给自己树立了一系列目标，然后努力去达到，一次一个。我必须了解自己能力有限，若开始就知道某个目标根本达不到却硬要去实现，那不会有任何好处，因为那只会带来失败的苦果。我有时也失败过，但一般来说总有进步。

Do You Know Your Perception?

你知道你的知觉吗?

Perception is a subjective experience. As we know, everyone has different feeling about the same thing, like the same expression show in the video, but it create different feeling in audience’s heart. What we think we see is actually filtered through our own mind’s eye.

知觉是一种主观体验。正如我们所知, 对于件事每个人都有不同的感觉,正如从视频中看到的一样,但它在观众的心中创造了不同的感觉。我们认为我们看到的实际上是透过自己的心眼。

We see the world through own mind’s eye. Usually, there will be many different views for one thing. Of course, we are not vision scientist, we don’t need spend much time to do a lot of research on it.

我们通过自己的心眼看世界。通常,对于同一件事会有很多不同的看法。当然,我们不是视觉科学家,我们不需要花太多时间去做大量的研究。

However, did you ever think a minute in your mind that can we use it on our study, work and life?

但是,你在你的头脑中有没想过一分钟我们是否可以使用它在我们的学习,工作和生活吗?

If our eyes only can see prize, why don’t you praise yourself appropriately? On the one hand, you can keep on your objective, continue to pursue your dream. On the other hand, it can make you feel easier to achieve it. Moreover, it can give you a colorful and meaningful life.

如果我们的眼睛只能看到奖赏,你为什么不适当赞美自己呢?一方面,你可以坚持你的目标,继续追求自己的梦想。另一方面,它可以使你感到更容易实现。此外,它可以给你一个丰富多彩的而有意义的生活。

Most of time, we cannot wait for others giving our prize, but we can give it to ourselves. At least, this is one of the best ways to live your life. Life always not easy, but it’s always up to you whether optimistic or pessimistic. Therefore, try to love yourself and praise yourself more. At least, show the prize to your eyes.

大多数时间,我们不能等待别人给我们赞美,但我们可以自己给自己。至少,这是一个最好的过你自己的生活的方式之一。生活总是不容易,但是它始终是取决于你是否乐观或悲观。因此,试着爱自己,赞美自己。至少, 让你的眼睛看见赞美。

For students, don’t so pessimistic to your grades in school. Try your best is ok. But it not means you can give up your dream. On the contrary, insist your dream and achieve it, don’t let it go because of the cruel reality. Hence, show your gift to your eyes instead of your weakness.

对于学生, 对你在学校的成绩不要太悲观。尽你最大的努力就可以了。但这并不意味着你可以放弃你的梦想。相反,坚持你的梦想并实现它,不要因为残酷的现实而让它失去。因此,展示你的天赋而不是你的弱点给你的眼睛。

After graduation, maybe you will become a manager or boss. Try to use the perception theory, it most likely will bring mutual benefit to your employees, customers and your company.

毕业后,也许你会成为一个经理或老板。尝试用认知理论,它最有可能会给员工,客户和你的公司带来互利。

As for the family, we can live a harmonious life by praising family members more often as well. Don’t trouble difficult relationship between family members anymore. So, be generous to praise!

对于家庭,我们可以过上和谐的生活通过经常称赞家人。不要再因为家庭成员之不随和的的关系而烦恼。所以,慷慨的赞美!

In short, you should try to use the perception theory instead only droved by it unconsciously. Don’t waste such an important resource, which god gives you without pay.

简而言之,你应该尝试使用感知理论而不是只被它无意识地驱动。不要浪费这一重要的神赐予给你的不用钱的资源。

I Wish You Enough 知足常乐，尽享人生

At an airport I overheard a father and daughter during their last moments together. Her flight was ready for boarding and they were standing near the departure gate. They hugged and he said, "I love you, I wish you enough." She in turn said, "Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy."

在机场我无意中听到父女俩在最后分别时刻的谈话。女儿正准备上飞机，他们站在飞机门附近。他们拥抱着，父亲说：“我爱你，我希望你能知足常乐，尽享人生。”女儿回答说：“爸爸，我们在一起生活了这么长时间我已经很知足了，您给我的爱也够了，我也希望你能知足常乐，尽享人生，爸爸!”

They kissed goodbye and she left. The man walked over towards the window near where I was seated. I could see that he wanted and needed to cry.

吻别后，女儿走了。父亲朝着我座位附近的窗子走过来，我可以看出他忍不住要哭。

I tried not to intrude upon his privacy, but he welcomed me by asking, "Have you ever said goodbye to someone knowing that it would be forever?"

我尽力不触及他的隐私，但他却向我打招呼，问：“你曾经有过明知是永别却还对某人说再见的经历吗?”

"Yes, I have." Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all that my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were numbered, I took the time to tell him, face to face, how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was going through.

“我有过这种经历。”这句话让我想起我曾为父亲为我所做的一切向他表示过我的爱和感激。知道他在世的日子不多后，我特意当面对他说他对我有多么重要。所以我理解这个人此时的感受。

"Forgive me for asking, but why is this goodbye forever?" I asked.

“请原谅我问一句，为什么是永别呢?”我问。

"I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral," he said.

“我老了，她又住的那么远。我的未来生活充满挑战。实际上，她再回来的时候便是参加我的葬礼了。”他说。

"I heard you say 'I wish you enough' May I ask what that means?"

“我听到你说‘我希望你知足常乐，尽享人生’，那是什么意思?”

He began to smile. "That is a wish that has been handed down through the generations. My parents used to say it to everyone."

他露出微笑。“那个愿望是我们家代代相传的。我的父母过去常对每个人说。”

The man paused a moment, then looked up, as if trying to remember the details.

那人顿了一下，抬了抬头，像是在尽力回想其中的细节。

"When we say I wish you enough, we want the other persons to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them."

“我们对人们说知足常乐，尽享人生，就是希望对方的生活里充满幸事，支撑他们走下去。”

He then turned to me and shared the following, as if he were reciting it from memory:

他转向我，对我说了下面这些话，像是在背诵：

I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright.

我希望你有足够的阳光让你乐观。

I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.

我希望你有足够的雨水让你更加感激阳光。

I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirits up.

我希望你有足够的幸福使你情绪激昂。

I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger.

我希望你有足够的痛苦感受生命中微小的欢乐带来的幸福。

I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.

我希望你得到更多，满足你的需要。

I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

我希望你失去更多，珍惜所有。

I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final Goodbye.

我希望你在永别后能广交朋友。

Then the man began to sob and walked away.

那个人开始抽泣，然后走开了。
