11. Someone will always be better looking. Someone will always be smarter. Someone will always be more charismatic. But they will never be you – with your exact ideas, knowledge and skills.
总会有人比你漂亮、比你聪明、比你有魅力。但是他们终究不是你，也同样不会拥有你独有的思想、知识和技能。
12. Making progress involves risk. Period. You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.
前进的路上总会存在风险。这毋庸置疑。总不见得你脚还踩在一垒上就想着跑到二垒去吧。
13. Every morning you are faced with two choices: You can aimlessly stumble through the day not knowing what’s going to happen and simply react to events at a moment’s notice, or you can go through the day directing your own life and making your own decisions and destiny.
每天早上醒来你都有两个选择：一是碌碌无为、虚度光阴，等到事情迫在眉睫了才勉强去应对。而另一种选择是，把命运掌握在你自己的手里，你的人生你做主。
14. Everyone makes mistakes. If you can’t forgive others, don’t expect others to forgive you. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.
人无完人，是人都会犯错。你不去原谅别人的过错，凭什么奢望别人会原谅你？原谅，不仅仅是对他人的谅解，也是对自己的宽恕。
15. It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
休息是为了走得更远，偶尔崩溃一下也未尝不可。不要总是假装自己很坚强，无谓地去证明一切都很好。也不必太在意别人的看法，想哭就哭，谁说流泪对身体不好呢？但记住，哭完了，请你继续微笑着面对人生。
16.We sometimes do things that are permanently foolish just because we are temporarily upset. A lot of heartache can be avoided if you learn to control your emotions.
有时候我们会因为一时的失意做出让我们抱憾终身的事情。学会控制你的情绪，你就不会为很多无谓的事情心痛了。
17.Someone else doesn’t have to be wrong for you to be right. There are many roads to what’s right. You cannot judge others by your own past. They are living a different life than you. What might be good for one person may not be good for another. What might be bad for one person might change another person’s life for the better. You have to allow people to make their own mistakes and their own decisions.
纵然你是对的，你也不能全盘否定别人。正确的定义有很多。你不能将你的价值观强加在别人身上。每个人都是不同的。对于这个人而言这是对的，但对那个人却不一定。同样的，也许对某人不利的却改善了另一个人的一生。你得允许别人犯错，也要允许他们自己做决定。
18.Nobody is perfect, and nobody deserves to be perfect. Nobody has it easy. You never know what people are going through. Every one of us has issues. So don’t belittle yourself or anyone else. Everybody is fighting their own unique war.
人无完人，也没有必须完美。每个人过得都不容易。你不会知道他们都经历了些什么。每个人都有自己要去做的事情。所以，不要轻视你自己或者他人。每个人都有自己要去应对的战争。
19.A smile doesn’t always mean a person is happy. Sometimes it simply means they are strong enough to face their problems.
有时候，微笑，并不代表快乐。仅仅说明面对困难，我们足够坚强。
20.The happiest people I know keep an open mind to new ideas and ventures, use their leisure time as a means of mental development, and love good music, good books, good pictures, good company and good conversation. And oftentimes they are also the cause of happiness in others – me in particular.
我认识的最快乐的人，他们思想开放、敢于冒险；他们会利用闲暇时光来提升心智，热爱高雅的音乐、有深度的书籍、精美的画作、杰出的工作伙伴还有睿智的谈话。通常，他们也是其他人快乐的源泉——对我尤其如此。作者: 时尚岛01 时间: 2011-11-28 12:19
