Are you ready to unlock your productivity potential? As we enter the final quarter of 2015, it’s time to look back on the year. Have you accomplished at least 75% of the resolutions you made at the beginning of the year? If you haven’t, don’t worry; here are some tips on how to make your day the most productive.
1.You are in control
The first thing you need to keep in mind is that you are in control of your life.
“The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot.” – Michael Altshuler.
Mr. Altshuler was right. Time flies, and sometimes it flies so fast without you realizing it. What you need to remember is that everything in your life is dictated by the choices you make. So, begin each day by reminding yourself that you are in control and you decide what happens today.
Only you can decide whether or not it is going to be a productive day.
2. Optimism is the key
Start your day with a positive mind. Not all tasks that you have listed are easy. This may include talking to your boss about a raise, tackling a complicated project - or even just going to the gym. You may start thinking that your boss will say ‘No’ or about all the obstacles you are going to face on the project. You might think going to the gym is too tiring and better not do it.
Abraham Lincoln said, “We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.”
We just have to look at things differently. Perhaps your boss will consider that you have made valuable contributions to the team and agree that your request for a raise is justified. Look at a complicated project as a challenge that will help you learn something. Think of the benefits going to gym will give you. (If nothing else, think of a special treat you can indulge in once you have done your gym session.) Learn to be optimistic and good things will follow. On the other hand, if things didn’t go as expected, then always remember: When one door closes, another will open. The lost opportunity may not be for you but you are up for something much better.
It is all about having the proper mindset. Be positive.
3. Procrastinate no more
As human beings, we think that we have all the time in the world to do the things we want and need to do. This is the reason we love procrastinating. We are always thinking that we have tomorrow to spare and we can just push to do things to another day. But what if you don’t have tomorrow?
Remember this Bill Keane quote, masterfully used by Master Oogway (the wise tortoise in Kung Fu Panda): “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That’s why they call it the present.”
Today is something to be thankful for, so better spend it wisely. You’ll never know what is going to happen tomorrow. Do the things that you have set today right at this moment.
Say “No” to procrastination and always say “Yes” to today.
4. Ignore the perfectionist in you
“Prolific beats Perfect.” – Daniel Priestley
I know that we tend to be our harshest critics and often times will keep fiddling with a project even when it’s good enough. While I am not advocating pushing out halfhearted work, I believe sometimes you have to accept good enough and move on. Spending too much time obsessing over tiny details means that you are putting in an additional amount of time to tweak something only 1% of people will notice. It also means you will get bogged down in the minute details and before you know it, the day is over.
Stop obsessing and start completing. Don’t let the inner perfectionist monster get the better of you. Work that is completed and pushed out on time is better than work that is perfect, but late.
If you bear these 4 things in mind every single day, you will find yourself able to look forward to each day with a better attitude to getting things done. This will, in turn, lead you to getting closer and closer to your goals.
Say goodbye to the slums of yesterday…and hello to the most productive days of your life.
It is the road you take that decides your destiny but not yourdestiny that decides the road you take.
The question is: Are you satisfied with who you are? Are youdoing what you are capable of doing? Do you get excited about whatyou are going to do when you get up in the morning? It is high timeyou asked these questions that reflect the truth about your life.More often than not we have the ability to achieve much greaterthings, but we get caught in the average things in life and wasteour potential. Each one of us has immense ability. But most of usfail to use it. Why?
1. There is no exact purpose for your life.
2. You underestimate yourself.
3. You are too busy to think about any-thing.
4. You are in a comfortable zone.
5. You fear failure.
Ask yourself, what difference am I making in the lives of others?Would you be happy and satisfied with what you have achieved? Areyou following your passion? You must find what you love and whatgives you fulfillment.
Don’t be afraid to make a new beginning. Go deep and explore thepossibilities. As you go deeper and deeper, you begin to addmeaning to your life.
翻译:踏上新征程
你所走路决定你命运,而不是你命运决定你应该走什么样路.
问题来了,你满足于你现状吗?你正在做自己力所能及事吗?每天起床后,你会对自己要去做事感到兴奋吗?英语短文是时候问问这些能反映自己真实情况问题了.我们总是有机会获得更大成功,但是却又常常被日常琐事所累,从而白白浪费了自己潜力.每个人能力都很强,但是我们却常常无法正确利用它.为什么呢?
1. 生活没有明确目标
2. 低估自己
3. 忙到没时间思考
4. 安于现状.
5. 害怕失败.
自问一下,我给别人生活带来了什么改变吗?你对自己成就感到快乐和满意吗?你正充满激情吗?你必须找到你所爱和能给你带来满足感事物.
不要害怕重新起跑.更深入地去发现可能性.当你对生活理解加深时候,你就给生活增添了意义.
Human growth is a process of experimentation, trial, and error ultimately leading to wisdom. Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action, you can never quite be certaion how the situation will turn out. Sometimes you are victorious, and sometimes you become disillusioned.
The failed experiments, however, are no less valuable than the experiments that ultimately prove successful; in fact, you usually learn more from your perceived "failures" than you do from your perceived "success".
If you have made what you perceive to be a mistake or failed to live up to your own expectations, you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong-doer. However, perceiving past actions as mistakes implies guilt and blame, and it is not possible to learn anything meaning while you are engaged in blaming. Therefore, forgiveness is required when you are harshly judging yourself.
Forgiveness is the act of erasing an emotional debt. There are four kinds of forgiveness.
The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself.
The second of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another.
The third kind of forgiveness is advanced forgiveness of yourself. This is for serious transgressions, the ones you carry with deep shame when you do soimething that violates your own values and ethics, you create a chasm between your standards and your actual behavior. In such a case, you need to work very hard at forgiving youeself for these deeds so that yo call close this chasm and realign with the best part of yourself.
This does not mean that you should rush to forgive yourselfor not feel regret or remorse; but wallowing in these feelings for a protracted period of time is not healthy, and punishing yourself excessively will only creats a bigger gap between you and your ethics.
The last and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another. At some time of our life, you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems impossible. However, harboring resentment and revenge fantasies only keeps you trapped in victim hood. Under such a circumstance, you should force yourself to see the bigger picture, by so doing, you will be able to shift the focus away from the anger and resentment.
It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and clean the memory. when you can finally release the situation, you may come to see it as a necessary part of your growth.
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked themas a reminder that the future can be anything we want to makeit.
We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of itanything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statuefrom a shapeless stone.
We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a goodseed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full ofweeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, weharvest nothing at all.
I want the future to be better than the past. I don’t want itcontaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history isfilled. We should all be concerned about the future because that iswhere we will spend the reminder of our lives.
The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it.The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will effectit.
Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and inour businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at thebeginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.
翻译:未来尽在掌控
我不知道这段文字是谁写,我一直很喜欢并用它们来提醒自己,那就是未来操之在我.
我们可以掌握神秘而不可知未来,从中创出我们所能想象任何东西,一如雕刻家可以将未成型石头刻出雕像一样.
我们每个人都是农夫.我们若种下好种子,就会有丰收.倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草,我们就会徒劳无获.如果我们什么也不种,就根本不会有什么收获.
我希望未来会比过去更好.我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中错误所污染.我们应关心未来,因为往后余生都要在未来中度过.
往昔已一去不复返而且是静止.任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去.英语短文未来就在我们眼前而且是动态.我们所作所为都会影响未来.
只要我们体会出来,每天都可以发现新知识领域伴随而生,可能是在家里,也可能是在我们事业中.我们正处在人类所努力钻研每个领域中进步起点.
A man, a woman and a child are telling the tree their troubles.
一个男人,一个女人和一个孩子向一棵树倾诉着自己的烦恼.
“How can I do what you say,” asked the child, “and still be me?”
“怎样才能既按你说的做,又不会迷失自己?”孩子问.
“Look at me,” said the tree. “I bend in the wind, droop in the rain, yet I always remain myself, a tree.”
“你看我,”树说,“我在风中折腰,在雨里低垂,到现在我还是我自己,我仍旧是一棵树.”
The man said. “I can’t change.”
男人说:“我无法改变自己.”
“Look at me,” said the tree, “I change every season from green to brown to green again, from bud to flower to fallen leaf. Yet I always remain myself, a tree.”
“你看我,”树说,“每个季节,我都会由青葱,变得枯黄,再回到青葱,从发芽到开花再到叶落.到现在,我仍然是我自己,仍旧是一棵树.”
“I can’t love any more,” said the woman, “With my love, I have given away all that I am.”
“我的爱已耗尽,”女人说,“为了爱,我已倾其所有,完全失去了自我.”
“Look at me,” said the tree. “There are robins in my branches, owls in my trunk, moss and lady bugs living on my bark. They may take what I have, but not what I am.”
“你看我,”树说,“我的树枝上有知更鸟,树干中有猫头鹰,苔藓和瓢虫生长在我的.树皮中.他们可能带走我所拥有的,但带不走我自己.”
Whether we know it or not, we are like the tree. Only our pride hangs on to a false sense of self, wanting to keep everything, refusing to follow advice or spiritual direction.
不管我们知道与否,其实我们就像这棵树.虚荣心是由于对自我的错误认识,妄想将任何东西都据为己有,而拒绝听从别人的意见或者精神的指引.
What we do doesn’t matter; how we do it is what counts. Change and growth is as natural as the sun coming up every morning and the setting of it every night. Go with what is inside you and listen to what your heart tells you. Why not even if just for today, reach out once more to a place that exists outside yourself without or from others…just once more.
我们做什么并不重要,我们怎样去做才是有价值的改变与成长,这对我们来说就像太阳每天都朝升夕落一样,不足为奇.带着自己真实的内心前行,倾听心灵深处的忠告.为什么今天就不再去一次那个存在于自己身外的地方呢?没有恐惧,也不用在乎自己和别人的评价,哪怕只是一次也好.
We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.
孩子害怕黑暗,情有可原;人生真正的悲剧,却是成人害怕光明.
When the lady Nadine Kentucky was 85 years old, she was asked what she would do if she had her to live over again.
别人问85岁的纳丁·肯塔基女士,她能再活一遍的话,她会选择怎样.
“I’d make more mistakes next without worry too much,” she said. “I’d relax. I would limber up. I would take fewer things seriously. I would take more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less beans. I would perhaps have more actual troubles, but I’d have fewer imaginary ones.
“我不会担心下次犯更多的错误;我会放松自己;我会做好充分的准备;我不会把很多问题看的太严重;我会争取更多的机会;我会去爬更多的山,游更多次泳;我会多吃些冰淇淋,少吃些豆子;我可能会遇到更多的困难,但我会少些异想天开.”
“You see, I’m one of those people who live sensibly and sanely hour after hour, day after day. Oh, if I had to do it over again, I’d have more of them. In fact, I’d try to have nothing else. If I had to do it over again, I would travel happier than I have.”
“看,我就是那种每天、每时都要求自己活的明智而理性的.人.如果我有机会能重新来过,我将生活得更为明智而理性.事实上,我也不会去做别的什么事.如果我有机会重新来过,我会在的旅途上生活的更.”
“If I had my life to live over, I would start barefoot earlier in the spring and stay that way later in the fall. I would go to more dances. I would ride more house and I would pick more daisies.”
“如果我有机会重新来过,我会从早春开始光着叫丫散步,直到晚秋.我会去参加更多的舞会;我会去骑更多的马;我会去摘更多的雏菊.”
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked themas a reminder that the future can be anything we want to makeit.
We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of itanything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statuefrom a shapeless stone.

Consider… YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. Youre better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion…
You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!
Youre amazing! Youre awesome! And by the way, TAG, youre 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 dont become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.
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 waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.
Paint a Masterpiece.
God gives every bird its food, but he doesnt throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, its truly up to you.
中文翻译:
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
在无穷无尽的宇宙中,你是举世无双的
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”.
真正的美丽源于生命里的学习、成长和热爱.这就是生命的艺术.你可以只听天由命, 慢慢地学,有时候或许会很痛苦.又或许你可以选择加速自己的成长,故意地挥霍生活及其提供的`一切.你就是手握今日之刷描绘自己未来的艺术家.
画出一幅杰作吧.
上帝给了鸟儿食物,但他没有将食物扔到它们的巢里.不管你想要去哪里,不管你想要做什么,真正做决定的还是你自己.
结束语:Wisdom appears in contradiction to itself, which is a trick life plays on philosophy of life. 智慧的代价是矛盾.这是人生对人生观开的玩笑.感谢大家的阅读!
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more but enjoy less.
我们这个时代在历史上的说法就是我们拥有更高的建筑,但是有更暴的脾气;我们拥有更宽阔的高速公路,却有更狭隘的观点;我们花费得更多,拥有得却更少;我们购买得更多却享受得更少.
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge, but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
我们的房子越来越大,家庭却越来越小;便利越来越多,时间却越来越少;学位越来越多,感觉却越来越少;知识越来越多,观点却越来越少;专家越来越多,问题也越来越多;药物越来越多,健康却越来越少.
We drink too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry too quickly, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
我们喝得太多,花钱大手大脚,笑得太少,开车太快,易怒,熬夜,赖床,书读得越来越少,电视看得越来越多,却很少向上帝祈祷.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we’ve added years to life, not life to years.
我们常常夸夸其谈,却很少付出爱心,且常常心中充满仇恨.我们学会如何谋生,而不知如何生活.我们延长生命的`期限,而不是生活的期限.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space; we’ve done larger things, but not better things.
我们登上月球,并成功返回,却不能穿过街道去拜访新邻居.我们已经征服太空,却征服不自己的内心;我们的事业越做越大,但质量却没有提高.
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we’ve split the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less; we plan more, but accomplish less.
我们清洁空气,却污染灵魂;我们分离原子,却无法驱除我们的偏见;我们写得更多,学到的却更少;我们的计划更多,完成的却更少.
We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait; we have higher incomes, but, lower morals.
我们学会奔跑,却忘记如何等待;我们的收入越来越高,道德水平却越来越低.
We build more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication; we’ve become long on quantity, but short on quality.
我们制造更多的计算机来存储更多的信息,制造最多的副本,却减少交流;我们开始渴望数量,但忽视质量.
These are the days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but more broken homes.
这个时代有双收入,但也有更高的离婚率;有更华丽的房屋,却有更多破碎的家庭.
These are the days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throw away morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. Where are we heading...?
这个时代有快速旅游,免洗尿布,却抛弃道、超重的身体,以及可以从快乐中走向静止和自杀的药物.我们将走向何方……?
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
如果我们明天就死掉,我们为之工作的公司可能会在一天内很轻易地找人代替我们的位置.但是当我们离开家人后,他们的余生将会在失落中度过.
And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.
考虑一下吧,我们将自己的时间更多地投入到工作中,而放弃与家人在一起的时光,实在并非明智之举.
So what is the morale of the story?
那么这则故事的主旨是什么呢?
Don’t work too hard... and you know what’s the full word of family?
不要工作得太辛苦,你知道家的全称吗?
FAMILY = (F)ATHER (A)ND (M)OTHER, (I) (L)OVE (Y)OU.
家＝爸爸妈妈,我爱你们.
有两个贫苦的樵夫靠上山捡柴糊口,有一天,他们在山里发现两大包棉花,两人喜出望外.棉花轻且贵,当下俩人各背了一包棉花赶路回家.
There once were two poor woodsmen who made a living by collecting woods in the mountain. One day, they happened to discover two large bag of cotton in the mountain and felt surprisingly happy. The cotton was light but valuable, so they carried it on their back and went back home.
走着走着,其中一名樵夫眼尖,看到山路上扔着一大捆布,他就和同伴商量.扔下棉花,背布回家.他的同伴却有不同的看法,认为自己背着棉花已走了一大段,到了这里丢下棉花,岂不枉费了先前的辛苦,坚持不愿换布.发现布的樵夫则尽其所能背起布走.又走了一段路,背布的樵夫望见不远处的地上散落着数坛黄金.心想这下真的发财了,赶忙用挑柴的扁担挑黄金.他的同伴仍是不愿丢下棉花,并怀疑黄金不是真的发现黄金的樵夫只好自己挑了两坛黄金,和背棉花的伙伴赶紧回家.
When they were walking home, one of the woodsmen spotted a large bundle of cloth beside the road. So he discussed with his partner whether to discard the cotton and take the cloth instead. But his partner held a different view that since he had carried the cotton for such a long way, he would not change it with cloth because all his previous effort would turn out to be in vain. Therefore, the other woodsman abandoned the cotton and carried the cloth on his back. After walking for a while, the woodsman who carried the cloth spotted several jars of gold disseminated on the ground not far away. He felt so thrilled that he was going to be a wealthy man. So he gave up the cloth and used his carrying pole to carry two jars of gold, while his partner was still reluctant to abandon the cotton and wondering whether the gold was real or not.
谁知道刚走到山下.天竟下起雨来,俩人在空旷处被淋了个透.更为不幸的是,背棉花的樵夫背上的棉花,吸饱了雨水.重得背不动,实在不得已,只能丢下一路辛苦舍不得放弃的棉花,空着手和挑金子的同伴回家去了.
However, when they just went down to the foot of the mountain, it began to rain all of a sudden. Both of them were wet from head to toes. More unfortunately, the woodsman who carried the cotton found that his cotton had absorbed tons of water and became so heavy that he could no longer go on carrying it. Desperately, he had to abandon the cotton and went back home empty-handed with his partner carrying gold.
在人生的`每个关键时刻,谨慎地运用智慧,做最正确的选择,同时别忘了及时审视选择的角度,适时调整.要学会从各个不同的角度全面研究问题,放掉无谓的固执.冷静地用开放的心胸做正确抉择.每次正确无误的抉择将指引你走在通往成功的坦途上.
This story implies that we should deliberately utilize our wisdom and intelligence to make the right choice in face of every critical point in our life. Meantime, we should not forget to review all the choices we have carefully and adjust our goal accordingly. We should learn to view a certain issue from different angles and avoid being stubborn. By opening your mind to the right choice, you will be guided to a smoother way to success.
I have a few candles stored in a drawer in my dining room.They’re meant for romantic dinners and special occasions, but sincethe arrival of our three children they have lain unnoticed amongthe napkins and other things. They are waiting to be taken out andlit to share their glow with anyone who will take the time to baskin their brilliance.
Are not our souls like those candles, patiently waiting forsomeone to come and let us be ourselves? We are all waiting for ourown moments to shine; we each have a special light, unmatched byany other.
Candles are made up of wax and a wick; we have bodies, but ouressence lies in our minds and souls. Candles are unique in theircolors, shapes and designs. Our life histories and experiences arethe backdrops of who we are, but our minds are like candle wicks,and make our passions flame. Unlike the candles in my drawer, whoget used or not used depending on my whims, we control our ownthoughts, and how brightly we will burn or dimly we will shine.
Is your soul candle dimmed by circumstance or lack of passion anddirection? Is it hidden in a drawer of stress, worry or resentment?Make a choice to let yourself shine the way you were meant toshine.
翻译:点亮心灵的蜡烛
在我餐厅的抽屉里放着几根蜡烛.它们会用于浪漫的晚餐与一些特殊的场合,但是自从我的三个孩子出生之后,它们便被遗忘在餐巾纸与其他杂物之间了.它们一直在等待着被拿出抽屉,被点亮,以与任何一个愿意花费时间去感受它们温暖的人分享那些光亮.
我的灵魂不也像蜡烛么?耐心地等待有人来发掘我,让我发光发亮.我一直等待着发光发亮的一刻;我都有自己独特的光亮,是别人所不能匹及的
蜡烛由蜡状物与蜡烛心组合而成;人类有肉体,而我的本质却存在于精神与灵魂中.蜡烛有它们独一无二的颜色、形状与图案.我生命的历史与经历是决定我是谁的.大背景,但是只有我的心灵才是蜡烛心,使热情形成火焰.与在抽屉里等着别人一时的兴致来决定是否被点燃的蜡烛不同,我可以决定自己的思想,决定自己能够发光发亮还是黯淡无光.
你心中的那支蜡烛是否因环境或者缺少激情,没有方向感而黯淡无光?它是否藏匿于压力、担忧与怨恨的抽屉里?做出选择吧,以自己注定的方式去发光.
人一生,短短数载,不够时间计较,不够时间事事明细,不必在思前想后中耗磨时间,懂得享乐,人生贵在糊涂.
We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.
我们每个人,在不同时期,都曾经像一个摇滚歌星那样,伴着我们最爱的那首歌又唱又跳.很多人在小时候,甚至是已长大成人,都曾在我们自己房间和家里这样的隐秘空间里这样做过.我呢?我喜欢在开车的时候这样!打开收音机,找一首会唱的歌,很快我就会张开双臂,随着节奏起舞.大部分时候,我在上班的路上这么做.
Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!
是的,那是真的我会穿上我漂亮的工作服,在堵车和遇到交通灯时,有人就会用奇怪的眼神看着我,或者笑我.对我个人而言,我喜欢沉浸在一首歌的节奏中,由此我愿和你们分享:为人糊涂贵在何处.
The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!
糊涂一词在字典中的定义是:愚蠢的,傻,荒谬的我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨.所以他们在生活中始终一脸严肃,而这在本质上才是真正的愚笨.
No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I dont care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on… No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?
人无完人,我重申一次:没有人是完美的`我不在乎一个人学识多深,身材多好,外表多美,思想多浅薄,生活多俭朴,多富有,等等……人无完人!那么,为什么要伪装成我们实际上本不是的呢?
Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:
人生何其短暂……你不会知道这美好的征程何时会结束,那么,为什么要浪费一分一秒,让自己变得棱角分明?这里引用索萨的话,我觉得她一语中的,是人生的一大秘方.
“Dance as though no one is watching you,
Love as though you have never been hurt before,
Sing as though no one can hear you,
Live as though heaven is on earth.“
跳舞吧,就像没有人欣赏一样,
去爱吧,就像没有受到伤害一样,
唱歌吧,就像没有人倾听一样,
生活吧,就像今天是最后一天一样.
When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.
当我们还是孩子,我们天不怕,地不怕,无忧无虑,所以我们可以不在乎自己再别人眼中的形象去做事情.然而,当我们长大,我们失去了那种天真烂漫.
So dont lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesnt want to feel good?
所以,不要丢失你心中那个小孩.下次你感到沮丧时,去打开你最爱的那首歌吧,随之歌唱起舞,就像没有明天一样.或者看点能让你笑的东西.笑声是除去任何烦恼良方,没有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了.相信我,你会好受很多,谁又不想让自己好受呢?
