Today I will be master of my emotions. 今天我学会控制情绪。 The tides advance; the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes. summer wanes and the cold increases. The sun rises; the sun sets. The moon is full; the moon is black. The birds arrive; the birds depart. Flowers bloom; flowers fade. Seeds are sown; harvests are reaped. all nature is a circle of moods and I am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise; my moods will fall. 潮起潮落，冬去春来，夏末秋至，日出日落，月圆月缺，雁来雁往，花飞花谢，草长瓜熟，自然界万物都在循环往复的变化中，我也不例外，情绪会时好时坏。 Today I will be master of my emotions. 今天我学会控制情绪。
It is one of nature's tricks, little understood, that each day I awaken with moods that have changed from yesterday. Yesterday's joy wilI become today's sadness; yet today's sadness will grow into tomorrow's joy. Inside me is a wheel, constantly turning from sadness to joy, from exultation to depression, from happiness to melancholy. Like the flowers, today's full bloom of joy will fade and wither into despondency, yet I will remember that as today's dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow's bloom so, too, does today's sadness carry the seed of tomorrow's joy. 这是大自然的玩笑，很少有人窥破天机。每天我醒来时，不再有旧日的心情。昨日的快乐变成今天的哀愁，今天的悲伤又转为明日的喜悦。我心中像一只轮子不停地转着，由乐而悲，由悲而喜，由喜而忧。这就好比花儿的变化，今天枯败的花儿蕴藏着明天新生的种子，今天的悲伤也预示着明天的快乐。 Today I will be master of my emotions. 今天我学会控制情绪。 And how will I master these emotions so that each day will be productive? For unless my mood is right the day will be a failure. Trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish but I make my own weather, yea I transport it with me. If I bring rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism to my customers then they will react with rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism and they will purchase naught. If I bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter to my customers they will react with joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter and my weather will produce a harvest of sales and a granary of gold for me. 我怎样才能控制情绪，以使每天卓有成效呢？除非我心平气和，否则迎来的又将是失败的一天。花草树木，随着气候的变化而生长，但是我为自己创造天气。我要学会用自己的心灵弥补气候的不足。如果我为顾客带来风雨、忧郁、黑暗和悲观，那么他们也会报之于风雨、忧郁、黑暗和悲观，而他们什么也不会买。相反的，如果我们为顾客献上欢乐、喜悦、光明和笑声，他们也会报之以欢乐、喜悦、光明和笑声，我就能获得销售上的丰收，赚取成仓的金币。 Today I will be master of my emotions. 今天我学会控制情绪。 And how will I master my emotions so that every day is a happy day, and a productive one? I will learn this secret of the ages: Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts. Each day, when I awaken, I will follow this plan of battle before I am captured by the forces of sadness, self-pity and failure- 我怎样才能控制情绪，让每天充满幸福和欢乐？我要学会这个千古秘诀：弱者任思绪控制行为，强者让行控制思绪。每天醒来当我被悲伤、自怜、失败的情绪包围时，我就这样与之对抗： If I feel depressed I will sing. 沮丧时，我引吭高歌。 If I feel sad I will laugh. 悲伤时，我开怀大笑。 If I feel ill I will double my labor. 病痛时，我加倍工作。 If I feel fear I will plunge ahead. 恐惧时，我勇往直前。 If I feel inferior I will wear new garments. 自卑时，我换上新装。 If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice. 不安时，我提高嗓声。 If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come. 穷困潦倒时，我想象未来的富有。 If I feel incompetent I will remember past success. 力不从心时，我回想过去的成功。 If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals. 自轻自贱时，我想想自己的目标。 Today I will be master of my emotions. 今天我要学会控制自己的情绪。 Henceforth, I will know that only those with inferior ability can always be at their best, and I am not inferior. There will be days When I must IN THE WORLD constantly struggle against forces which would tear me down. Those such as despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there are others which approach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can also destroy me. Against them, too, I must never relinquish control- 从今往后，我明白了，只有低能者才会江郎才尽，我并非低能者，我必须不断对抗那限些企图摧垮我的力量。失望与悲伤一眼就会被识破，而其它许多敌人是不易觉察的。它们往往面带微笑，却随时可能将我们摧垮。对它们，我们永远不能放松警惕。 If I become overconfident I will recall my failures. 自高自大时，我要追寻失败的记忆。 If I overindulge I will think of past hungers. 纵情得意时，我要记得挨饿的日子。 If I feel complacency I will remember my competition. 洋洋得意时，我要想想竞争的对手。 If I enjoy moments of greatness I will remember moments of shame. 沾沾自喜时，不要忘了那忍辱的时刻。 If I feel all-powerful I will try to stop the wind. 自以为是时，看看自己能否让步驻步。 If I attain great wealth I will remember one unfed mouth. 腰缠万贯时，想想那些食不果腹的人。 If l become overly proud I will remember a moment of weakness. 骄傲自满时，要想到自己怯懦的时候。 If I feel my skill is unmatched I will look at the stars. 不可一世时，让我抬头，仰望群星。 Today I will be master of my emotions. 今天我学会控制情绪。 And with this new knowledge I will also understand and recognize the moods of him on whom I call. I will make allowances for his anger and irritation of today for he knows not the secret of controlling his mind. I can withstand his arrows and insults for now I know that tomorrow he will change and be a joy to approach. 有了这项新本领，我也更能体察别人的情绪变化。我宽容怒气冲冲的人，因为他尚未懂得控制自己的情绪，就可以忍受他的指责与辱骂，因为我知道明天他会改变，重新变得随和。 No longer will I judge a man on one meeting; no longer will I fail to call again tomorrow on he who meets me with hate today. This day he will not buy gold chariots for a penny, yet tomorrow he would exchange his home for a tree. My knowledge of this secret will be my key to great wealth. 我不再只凭一面之交来判断一个人，也不再一时的怨恨与人绝交，今天不肯花一分钱买金蓬马车的人，明天也许会用全部家当换树苗。知道了这个秘密，我可以获得极大的财富。 Today l will be master of my emotions. 今天我学会控制情绪。 Henceforth I will recognize and identify the mystery of moods in all mankind, and in me. From this moment I am prepared to control whatever personality awakes in me each day. I will master my moods through positive action and when I master my moods I will control my destiny. 我从此领悟人类情绪的变化的奥秘。对于自己千变万化的个性，我不再听之任之，我知道，只有积极主动地控制情绪，才能掌握自己的命运。 Today I control my destiny, and my destiny is to become the greatest salesman in the world! 我控制自己的命运就是成为世界上最伟大的推销员！ I will become master of myself. 我成为自己的主人。 I will become great. 我由此而变得伟大。 |
