Life doesn't always give us the joys we want. We don't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don't always get our own way. But don't give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.生活并非总是如你所愿。希望有时会落空，梦想有时会破灭，我们不能一切随心所愿。但别放弃希望，因为事物并非一成不变;不同时间，不同场合，你会呈现不同的面貌。Look for the beauty around you--in nature, in others, in yourself--and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind. You can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. It is all around, if you just look for it.处处留心你身边的美丽：自然中的美，他人的美，你自己的美。请相信，美来自朋友、家庭乃至全人类的融融爱意。一个微笑，一双援助之手，一个关心的举止，一句友善的话语，无不传达着爱。如果你有心去寻找，爱无所不在。Give love, for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy, happiness, patience and understanding. Believe in the goodness of others and remember that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope.奉献爱心吧，从中你会发现生活的力量，感受生活带来的幸福快乐，学会忍耐和理解。相信人性本善。记住，爱心和希望能化解一切愤怒和沮丧。Even when you feel as though there isn't a lot you can do to change unhappiness

Its name is TIME. Every morning, it credits you with 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off, as lost, whatever of this you have failed to invest to good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no overdraft.每个人都有一个银行，它的名字叫"时间"。每天早晨，它在你的帐户里存入86,400秒钟。不管你是否很好地利用了这笔时间，每天晚上它会照例把这笔时间作为遗失注销。它没有设置余额，也不允许透支。Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the records of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours.每天它会为你开一个新帐户，每晚它会把该天的记录全部删除。如果你没有好好地利用当天的这笔时间，那么损失由你自己承担。There is no goi

Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I'm Faith. The new day is here, and so are you! Now that we've started this new day, I hope that you're ready to give your best to it, and to enjoy it for all that it's worth!欢迎收听Faith轻松电台，我是Faith。新的一天开始了，你也要开始一天的忙碌了。希望你已经准备好全力以赴，充实而快乐地生活在今天。Remember today that you are alive.记住今天你拥有生命!Sometimes we tend to forget that you have a purpose that is all your own, no one else is you. You have dreams and hopes and desires. Listen to your heart for a while.有时我们似乎会忘记我们自己独有的生活目标，我们会忘记自我。每个人都有梦想，希望和愿望。有时去倾听一下你内心的召唤。Remember today all the blessings you have: There's beauty in every direction you look, enjoy the abundance that is already yours, the world is a wonderful place and you're here.记住今天你拥有所有的祝福：美存在于你所注视过的每个角落，享受你内心已有的充实，这是一个美丽的世界，你生活在这里。Remember today that you get what you give: Your world is a mirror of your inner self, love will be yours when you give it away.记住今天你因奉献而有所得：你的世界是你内心的一面镜子，当你给予爱时，你才拥有爱。Remember today that life is creation: As long as you live you can al

Suppose someone gave you a pen - a sealed, solid-colored pen.假如有人送你一支笔，一支不可拆卸的单色钢笔。You couldn't see how much ink it had. It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece (or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don't know before you begin.里面究竟有多少墨水看不出。或许在你试探性地写上几个字后它就会枯干，或许足够用来创作一部影响深远的不朽巨著(或是几部)。而这些，在动笔前，都是无法得知的。Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to take a chance! Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.在这个游戏规则下，你真的永远不会预知结果。你只能去碰运气!事实上，这个游戏里没有规则指定你必须要做什幺。相反，你甚至可以根本不去动用这支笔，把它扔在书架上或是抽屉里让它的墨水干枯。But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?但是，如果你决定要用它的话，你会用它来做什幺呢?你将怎样来进行这个游戏呢?Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?你会不写一个字，老是计划来计划去

This poem is about someone whom I deeply cared about. The feelings were never returned, but I learned that with or without his love, I could make it and always remain strong and happy.这首诗是关于一个我非常关心的人。感觉再也没有回来,但我知道有或没有他的爱,我可以让它一直保持强大和快乐。I Learn To Be Strong 我学会坚强Words of wisdom come to my ears,智慧之语穿过我的耳朵，Telling me what I know in my heart,告诉我一些我心中早已明白，But never wanted to hear.却不愿去相信的一番话。With the truth finally said and out in the open for me to plainly see,当真言终于被道出，并展现于我面前，I wonder why I can love so deeply but never had that love returned back to me. I confessed the feelings that I held inside for so long,使我不得不现实地面对时，我问自己为什么我会爱得如此深切，而那爱情却从未走向我。But with his soft- hearted rejection, I realize I have to be strong.我坦然告白埋藏于心中已久的那份情感，但在他温柔的宛然拒绝声中，我认识到我必须坚强。With tears that want to flow from my eyes, I feel that my heart, along with my composure, slowly dies.当眼泪欲夺眶而出时，我感觉到我的心在沉静中慢慢熄灭。While this dramatic side is showing through with my ability to question and reason,这时，一个坚强的声音伴随着我理智的思考再现，I think I may have found somethi

In all one's lifetime it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with. But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.人生在世，和"自己"相处最多，打交道最多，但是往往悟不透"自己"。To get a thorough understanding of oneself is to gain a correct view of oneself and be a sober realist: aware of both one's strength and shortage. You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much, for ideals can never be fully realized. You may be courageous to meet challenges, but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts.悟透自己，就是正确认识自己，也就是说要做一个冷静的现实主义者，既知道自己的优势，也知道自己的不足。我们可以憧憬人生，但期望值不能过高.因为在现实中，理想总是会打折扣的。可以迎接挑战，但是必须清楚自己努力的方向。To get a thorough understanding of oneself requires doing oneself a favor when it's needed. In time of anger, do yourself a favor by giving vent to it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness, do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a gloomy mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness, d

Of all the wonderful gifts that we've been given, one of the greatest is freedom.在众多的我们天生被赋予的美妙礼物中，自由是最伟大的礼物之一。As much as we may deny it we are free in this life. We are free in what we think, free in what we feel, free in what we say, and free in what we do. Yes, life may give us some very difficult circumstances at times, but we are still free in how we choose to react to them.就如我们常常会否认这一点，我们有自由掌握自己的生活确实是不争的事实。我们可以自由地思考，自由地感受，发表自由言论，做自己想做的事。是的，有时生活会让我们处境艰难，但我们仍然可以自由选择如何应对困境。Many people in this life deny their freedom. They sit back in their misery and blame it on their parents, or their childhood, their health, or their financial problems. They never once stand up and take responsibility for their own lives and their own happiness.有许多人否认他们的自由。他们只是颓废地坐在那里，抱怨他们的父母，或他们的孩子，或他们的身体状况，或他们的经济危机。他们从未勇敢地站起来去为自己的生活及自己的快乐真正地负起责任来。The truth is that we've been given the power to choose love and joy in our lives no matter what happens to us. No one has ever been or will ever be strong enough to take our freedom away from

When times become difficult (and you know they sometimes will), remember a moment in your life that was filled with joy and happiness. Remember how it made you feel, and you will have the strength you need to get through any trial.当你身陷困境的时候(你有时会)，回想你生命中快乐和幸福的时刻。回想它是如何使你快乐，你便有了走出困境的勇气。When life throws you one more obstacle than you think you can handle, remember something you achieved through perseverance and by struggling to the end. In doing so, you'll find you have the ability to overcome each obstacle brought your way.当面对重重困难，你感觉举步维艰的时候，回想你以前是如何坚持到底战胜困难的最后时刻的。这样，你就会发现你有能力克服每个障碍。When you find yourself drained and depleted of energy, remember to find a place of sanctuary and rest.当你觉得精疲力尽的时候，暂时离开，让自己稍作休息。Take the necessary time in your own life to dream your dreams and renew your energy, so you'll be ready to face each new day.从你的生活中多抽出点时间去梦想，重振你的精力，你会完全准备好又去迎接新的一天。When you feel tension building, find something fun to do. You'll find that the stress you feel will dissipate and your thoughts will become clear

 Catch the Star That Will Take You to Your Dreams追随你的梦想Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart. Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you. Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.追随能够改变你命运的那颗星，那颗永远在你心中闪烁的明星。当它在你面前闪耀时，抓住这宝贵的机会。请谨记，只要你坚持不懈，最终的目标总能实现。Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you've made, have faith in your judgment, catch the star that twinkles in your heart, and it will lead you to your destiny's path. Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.尽管实现梦想的途中有时会遇到障碍，要知道这是命运对你的挑战。不是每个人都会赞成你的选择，接受这个现实，并相信自我的判断，追随那颗在你心中闪烁的明星，它会引领你踏上命运的征途。坚持不懈，你就能享受那些幸福时刻。Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them discourage you. Value

You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion…试想一下……你！一个空前绝后的你，不论是以往还是将来都不会有一个跟你一模一样的人。你在历史上和宇宙中都是独一无二的。哇！想想吧，你是万里挑一、亿里挑一、兆里挑一的。You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!!!在无穷无尽的宇宙中，你是举世无双的！！！You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.你是了不起的！你是卓越的！没错，就是你。你已经是了不起的，是卓越的，你还可以更卓越更了不起。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇想，而美丽的老人却是艺术的杰作。但你不会因为年龄的渐长就自然而然地变得“美丽”。Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiti

I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.就为了今天，我将尽力只度过今天而不立刻去解决终身的问题。对一件令我沮丧而又必须坚持一辈子的事，我只能坚持十二个小时。Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said，that "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."就为了今天，我会很快乐。亚伯拉罕-林肯说过，“大多数人都是决定想怎么高兴就怎么高兴。”这已经被认为是真理。Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my "luck" as it comes.就为了今天，我会做自我调整适应事物本来的面目，而不是想方设法使每一件事满足自己的欲望。当机会来临的时候我会抓住它。Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.就为了今天，我会尽力心强志坚。我会学习，学一些有用的东西。我不会做一个精神上的流浪汉。我会读一些需要努力、思考和注意力集中的东西。Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways.

Let me state them:Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.不要跟人攀比而妄自菲薄，It is because we are different that each of us is special.我们的独特之处正在于与众不同。Do not set your goals by what other people deem important.不要按别人的标准设定目标，Only you know what is best for you.只有你自己才明白什么最合适。Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart.不要对内心深处的东西漠然视之。Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.对待它们要像性命一样看重,没有它们生活就没有意义。Do not let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past nor for the future.不要沉迷往事或者只在意将来而让生命从指缝间流失。By living your life one day at a time, you live all of the days of your life.生活要一天天度过，生命的每一天才过充实。Do not give up when you still have something to give.只要还能给予就不要轻易放弃。Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.除非你停止努力，一切都没有真正终结。It is a fragile thread that binds us to each other.靠着脆弱的联系我们才聚在一起。Do not be afraid to encounter risks.不怕遭遇风险，It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.正是通过承担风险我们学会了勇敢。Do not shut love out of your life by

A most curious and useful thing to realize is that one never knows the impression one is creating on otherpeople. One may often guess pretty accurately whether it is good, bad, or indifferent — some people render it unnecessary for one to guess, they practically inform one — but that is not what I mean. I mean muchmore than that. I mean that one has one's self no mental picture corresponding to the mental picture whichone's personality leaves in the minds of one's friends. Has it ever struck you that there is a mysterious individual going around, walking the streets, calling at houses for tea, chatting, laughing, grumbling, arguing, and that all your friends know him and have long since added him up and come to a definite conclusion about him — without saying more than a chance, cautious word to you; and that that person is you? Supposing that you came into a drawing room where you were having tea, do you think you would recognize yourself as an individuality? I think not. You would be apt to say to yourself

here are times when we are faced with illnesses, disorders, disabilities some type of tragedy that causes us to lose contact with ourselves and the world in which we live. Our happiness begins to fade and our heart begins to grow heavy. This affects the way we think, live, feel and the way we look at life.有时候我们会遭遇疾病，混乱，无力等一些灾难，这些灾难会暂时使我们迷失自我，并与这个我们赖以生存的世界失去联系。我们的快乐开始褪却，我们的内心开始变得沉重。这一切影响着我们的思维，生活，感情以及对待生活的方式。None of us can be happy all the time. During times of tragedy, it is natural and even beneficial to be sad, but not to hold unhappy, anger or any negative emotion that takes control. We must heal ourselves emotionally and spiritually.Talk with optimistic and encouraging people for they bring a sense of hope into the world, a new meaning to life. They help you see past the clouds on a glooming day，they bring sunlight everyday.没有人始终都保持着快乐。当身处灾难时，悲伤是自然的，也是非常有益的。但不要让不愉快，愤怒或任何消极的情绪操控你的生活。我们必须从情绪上和精神上治愈我们心灵上的创伤。去和积极乐观的人们聊聊天，因为他们带给世界一线希望，带给生活新的意义。他们会帮助你在阴郁的天气里抹去乌云。Happiness is when you are with people who love yo

Reflections of a Mother慈母心曲I gave you life, but I cannot live it for you.我给了你生命，但不能替你生活。I can teach you things, but I cannot make you i learn.我能教你知识，但不能强迫你学习。I can give you directions, but I cannot be there to lead you.我能为你指路，但不能为你引路。I can allow you freedom, but I cannot account for it.我能让你自由，但不能带给你自由。I can take you to church, but I cannot make you believe.我能带你做礼拜，但不能强迫你信教。I can teach you right from wrong, but I can not always decide for you.我能教你区别是非，但不能事事为你做主。I can buy you beautiful cloths, but I cannot make you beautiful inside.我能为你添置漂亮的衣裳，但不能让你拥有美丽的心灵。I can offter you advice, but I cannot accept it for you.我能给你忠告，但不能代你接受忠告。I can give you love, but I cannot force it upon you.我能给你母爱，但不能强迫你接受母爱。I can teach you to share, but I cannot make you unselfish.我能教你与人分享，但不能强迫你做一个无私的人。I can teach you respect, but I cannot force you to show honor.我能教你尊敬别人，但不能强迫你待人以敬。I can advise you about friend, but cannot choose them for you.我能建议你如何交友，但不能替你选择朋友。I can advise you about sex, but I cannot keep you pure.我能在性方面给你忠告，但不能让你守身如玉

They are the principles on which my wife and I have tried to bring up our family .They are the principles in which my father believed and by which he governed his life .They are the principles,many of them ,whichI learned at my mother's knee.They point the way to usefulness and happiness in life, to courage and peace in death.If they mean to you what they mean to me, they may perhaps be helpful also to our sons for their guidance and inspiration.Let me state them:这些信条是我太太和我努力用以持家育子的原则。它们是我父亲深信不疑并籍以安身立命的原则。其中有很多是我在母亲膝前学到的原则。这些信条指出了一条活得快乐有用、死得勇敢安详的道路。如果它们对你的意义正如对我的一样,它们或许也将有助于我们的子女从中获得引导和启发。让我陈述如下:I believe in the supreme worth of the individual and in his right to life ,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.I believe that every right implies a responsibility;every opportunity ,an obligation ;every possession,a duty.I believe that the law was made for the man and not man for the law;that government is the servant of people and not their master.I believe in the dignity of the labor,whether with head or hand;that

It is curious that our own offenses should seem so much less heinous than the offenses of others. I suppose the reason is that we know all the circumstances that have occasioned them and so manage to excuse in ourselves what we cannot excuse in others. We turn our attention away from our own defects, and when we are forced by untoward events to consider them, find it easy to condone them. For all I know we are right to do this; they are part of us and we must accept the good and bad in ourselves together.让人奇怪的是，和别人的过错比起来，我们自身的过错往往不是那样的可恶。我想，其原因应该是我们知晓一切导致自己犯错的情况，因此能够设法谅解自己的错误，而别人的错误却不能谅解。我们对自己的缺点不甚关注，即便是深陷困境而不得不正视它们的时候，我们也会很容易就宽恕自己。据我所知，我们这样做是正确的。缺点是我们自身的一部分，我们必须接纳自己的好和坏。But when we come to judge others, it is not by ourselves as we really are that we judge them, but by an image that we have formed of ourselves fro which we have left out everything that offends our vanity or would discredit us in the eyes of the world. To take a trivial instance: how scornful we are when we catch someone out telling a lie; bu

Every second, we have the opportunity to make the next second greater than now.每一秒，我们都有机会让下一秒变得比现在更好。Because destiny isn't a matter of chance. It's a matter of choice.因为真正决定命运的不是运气，而是选择。So let go of what others want you to be.所以，放下世俗中别人对你的期望。Change is in all of us.改变在于我们的内心。And the only person your destiny to become, is the person you decide to be.所以你的命运在于你选择成为什么样的人。Change destiny.改写命运。
