I believe that everyone wants to love and be loved and that happiness stems from a facing and acceptance of self that allows you to give and receive love.

我相信，爱与被爱是每个人的渴望。一个人是否幸福，关键在于他是否拥有爱并能够接受爱。

Some think of love as a passionate, hungry, dramatic feeling, all consuming in intensity and desire. As I see it, this is, rather, immature love: it is a demand on others, not a giving of oneself. Mature love, the love that brings happiness, flows out of an inner fullness, and accepts, understands and is tender toward the other person. It does not ask to be served but only where it may serve.

在有些人看来，爱就是一种充满活力、渴望且极富戏剧性的情感，是zhan有一切的激情与yu望。而我认为，这种爱是极不成熟的爱：它是向他人的索求，而不是奉献。只有成熟的爱才能带来幸福，它是内心真挚情感的.流露，能够接受并理解他人，给予对方温柔与体贴。它不索求服务，而是处处提供服务。

Six years ago I could hardly breathe because of acute sinus. My stomach was always upset and full of queasiness and I had trouble sleeping, even though I felt exhausted all the time. In desperation, after doctors who treated the physical symptoms failed to ease the pain, I tried psychoanalysis. I was lucky to find a wise, compassionate man who showed me what it meant to be able to trust myself and others.

6年前，由于身患急性鼻窦炎，我几乎难以呼吸。胃部也常感不适，易恶心呕吐。失眠问题也一直困扰着我，即使我感到疲惫不堪却依然辗转难眠。可是，医生对我的病症所做的治疗却毫不奏效，我的痛苦丝毫未减。绝望中，我尝试了心理疗法。很幸运的是，我找到了一位博学、热情的医生，他让我飞外了，能够相信自己与他人的意义所在。

The physical ills are gone, but more than that, I have at long last started to acquire a philosophy of living. I had never possessed one. I had lived on dogma and dicta which I had accepted unquestioningly through the years, even though I believed little of it, because I feared to question. But by being unable to live naturally and at peace with myself I was flying in the face of nature. She was punishing me with illness and, at the same time, informing me all was not well just in case I wanted to do something about it.

我身体的疾病得以治愈，而更多的是我最终开始学会一门生活的哲学。我一直是一个循规蹈矩的人，虽然我并不相信那些教条与格言，但多年来，由于不敢质疑，我一直不假思索地将其视为生活的准则。然而我却难以正常而平静地生活，总是坐立不安。最终，我受到了惩罚，病魔缠身，同时也得到了启示：必须对现状做出改变，否则将万事不顺。

In order to change, I needed help in facing myself. For me it was not easy to “know thyself”. All my life I had accepted the lesser of the two evils and run away from self because truth was more dangerous. Once I thought that to survive I had to put on a mask and forget what lay underneath. But masks are false protections and the inner part of me refused to go unheard forever.

为了改变现状，我需要帮助来面对自我。对我来说，“认识自己”并不是件简单的事。一生中，我选择了两个罪恶中较轻的一个：逃避自我，因为真相往往更为危险。曾经我以为，戴上面具，忘记面具下的一切，就能生存下去。

It caught up eventually, and unless it was to master me I had to face such feelings as fear, anger, envy, hatred, jealousy and excessive need for attention. When I realized I could not have done anything else except what I did, I was able to like myself more and be able to like others not for what they could give me but for what I could give to them.

然而，面具是虚假的掩护，我的内心决不肯永远缄默。最终这种情感占了上风，如果它不曾主宰我，我就依然得面对恐惧、愤怒、羡慕、仇恨、嫉妒和极其需要关注的情感。除了顺从自己的内心，我别无选择，当我意识到这一点时，我便更喜欢自己，也更爱他人。这并不是为了他人能给予我什么，而是我能给予他们什么。

The Bible shows the way to easy, happy living in many of its pages. It advises, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Those who expect the most are apt to receive the least. I had expected much and was filled with fury because nothing in the outside world relieved my emptiness and despair. Nothing did, either, until I could face the anger and fury, the emptiness and despair, and slowly start to know such new feelings as compassion, conviction, control, calm. I learned, too, of reason—that judicious combination of thought and feeling that enables me to take more responsibility for myself and others, that allows me to slay the ghosts of the past.

如何能简单幸福地生活，《圣经》中的众多例子都告诉了我们。它建议：“施比受更有福。”那些期望最多的人，往往收获最少。曾经，我期望颇多，内心却充满了愤怒与狂躁，因为外界任何事物都无法填补我内心的空虚与绝望。一切都于事无补，直到我能够面对愤怒、狂躁、空虚与绝望，并慢慢地开始飞外同情、信仰、自制与平静这些新的情感。我也明白了，理智正是思想与情感最明智的结合，它能够让我为自己与他人承担起更多的责任，驱除往昔纠缠我的幽灵。

For me there is much hard work ahead to achieve greater happiness. Yet, the very struggle I have put into achieving a measure of it makes happiness that much more dear.

对我来说，要想更加幸福，还需付出更多艰辛的努力。但是，为获得一定程度的幸福而付出的艰辛努力，才使得幸福弥足珍贵。

Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.

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."

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.

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.

Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out: If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don't want to do—just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.

Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit，and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself.

Just for today I will have a program, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.

Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.

Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful，and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.

参考译文：

就为了今天

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。

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。

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。

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。

就为了今天，我会用三种方法来磨炼我的灵魂。我会做对某人有利的事但不能被发现，若有人发现了就不算数。我将会做至少两件我不愿做的.事情——只为了磨练。我不会让任何人感到我的感情受到了伤害：它们可能受到了伤害，但今天我不想表现出来。

就为了今天，我会过得很惬意。看起来我达到了最佳状态，穿着得体、讲话谦虚、行为礼貌、一点不吹毛求疵，尽量改进和调节自己而不是别人。

就为了今天，我会制定一个计划，我也许不会严格地遵守它，但我一定要有计划。我会避免两种错误：仓促行事和优柔寡断。

就为了今天，我将会独自静静地呆上半小时放松。在这半小时里，某个时刻，我会日后对我的生活有个更好的看法。

就为了今天，我将不再害怕。尤其我不会再害怕享受美丽的事物，并且相信我给予世界的，世界也会给予我。

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.

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; but who can say that he has never told not one, but a hundred?

There is not much to choose between men. They are all a hotchpotch of greatness and littleness, of virtue and vice, of nobility and baseness. Some have more strength of character, or more opportunity, and so in one direction or another give their instincts freer play, but potentially they are the same. For my part, I do not think I am any better or any worse than most people, but I know that if I set down every action in my life and every thought that has crossed my mind, the world would consider me a monster of depravity. The knowledge that these reveries are common to all men should inspire one with tolerance to oneself as well as to others. It is well also if they enable us to look upon our fellows, even the most eminent and respectable, with humor, and if they lead us to take ourselves not too seriously.

如果你想要成功的人生，你需要在奋斗目标上有目的性和主动性。成功并不是意外机遇，相反成功需要付出。在追逐成功的路上要记住这15个要点。

1. Remember Your Accomplishments

要记住自己所取得的成就

On days when you want to give up or feel like you can’t ever get there, it’s especially important to remember your accomplishments. Acknowledge the goals you’ve reached, and use your past successes to fuel your motivation to reach the rest of your goals.

要记住你会失败

14. Remember to Embrace Change

记住要去抓住机会

We live in a fast-paced world where things are constantly changing. If you resist change, you might get left behind. Remain flexible and be willing to embrace change.

我们生活在快节奏的世界中，世事变化无常。如果你跟不上变化的步伐，你可能就会落在后面。要记着灵活应变，愿意抓住时机。

Adversity

There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I can not perfect myself without hardship.

Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it in seeking help. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment may present……to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.

Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.

Our character, basically, is a composite of our habits. “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny,” the maxim goes.

Habits are powerful factors in our lives. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character and produce our effectiveness or ineffectiveness.

As Horace Mann, the great educator, once said, “Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken.” I personally do not agree with the last part of his expression. I know habits can be learned and unlearned. But I also know it isn't a quick fix. It involves a process and a tremendous commitment.

Those of us who watched the lunar voyage of Apollo 11 were transfixed as we saw the first men walk on the moon and return to earth. But to get there, those astronauts literally had to break out of the tremendous gravity pull of the earth. More energy was spent in the first few minutes of lift-off, in the first few miles of travel, than was used over the next several days to travel half a million miles.

Habits, too, have tremendous gravity pull- more than most people realize or would admit. Breaking deeply imbedded habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness, or selfishness that violate basic principles of human effectiveness involves more than a little willpower and a few minor changes in our lives. “Lift off” takes a tremendous effort, but once we break out of the gravity pull, our freedom takes on a whole new dimension.

Like any natural force, gravity pull can work with us or against us. The gravity pull of some of our habits may currently be keeping us from going where we want to go. But it is also gravity pull that keeps our world together, that keeps the planets in their orbits and our universe in order. It is a powerful force, and if we use it effectively, we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the cohesiveness and order necessary to establish effectiveness in our lives.

坚强，有时是迫不得已

Change is considerably easier when you have a full complement of supporting partners and unlimited resources. But, since very often it is the shock of a death, divorce or some other life tragedy that unceremoniously tosses us out of our comfort zone to fend for ourselves, it can mean being forced to strike out alone which for many of us is the scariest part of all.

当你有很多合作伙伴和无尽的资源时，改变就更容易发生了。但是，由于这种变化往往是来自于身边的人去世的打击、离婚或是其他的一些人生悲剧，而且这些变化又毫无征兆地将我们赶出了自己的舒适圈，使我们不得不自己照顾自己，所以这样的变化也意味着我们要被迫独自面对很多事情，这也是很多人最害怕的事情。

Probably the most difficult thing about pursuing significant change is doing it when you don’t have the knowledge, financial or emotional tools available to make the process go smoothly.

也许，在进行显著改变时遇到的最困难的事情，就是即便对相关知识一无所知，也缺少财务支持或情感工具，却还是要顺利完成。

However, as difficult as it can be, sometimes reaching our full potential means working without a net. Or, as Tony Robbins says, "If you want to take the island, burn the f’ing boats!"

然而，不管有多难，有时想要达到我们潜能的极限，其实只需在工作时摆脱网络的'束缚。换言之，正如托尼 罗宾斯所说，“如果你想去岛上，就烧了这些该死的船！”

For those truly dedicated to their mission, having fewer resources and no backup or fallback plan can be a surprising blessing as it forces you to get creative and forge new paths.

而对于那些真正致力于完成自己使命的人来说，缺少资源、备份或应急计划都会被看作是一个意外之礼，因为这促使你变得更具创造力，飞外另辟蹊径。

I don’t know if it’s possible to leave this world with zero regrets. Because of the natural life cycles and the fact that sometimes it’s the tragedy that causes our awakenings we often have our epiphanies too late to avoid certain painful outcomes.

我不知道是否有可能在离开这个世界时不留任何遗憾。因为自然生命周期有限，也只有悲剧结局，才能让我们清醒，这使我们时常顿悟得太晚，以致于无法避免那些令人痛苦的结局。

However, it is indefensible to can claim ignorance to the possible ramifications of continued inaction. The choice belongs to each and every one of us. We all have the power to change both our thoughts and behavior thereby giving more intentional direction to the remainder of our lives.

然而，把持续的无作为所导致的后果归因为无知是站不住脚的。选择权在我们每一个人手中。我们都可以改变自己的思想和行为，去为之后的生活确立更明确的方向。

Dream What You Dream of 做你想做的梦

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

做你想做的梦

在一生有多少这样的时刻：我们对一个人朝思暮想，只想一把把他们从梦中拉出来，真切的拥抱一回!

一扇通往幸福的门关闭了，另一扇幸福之门打开了，可有多少次啊，我们徘徊在那扇关闭的.门前，却忽略了那扇早已为我们开启的新的幸福之门。

不要以貌取人，外貌可能会欺骗你;不要追逐财富，财富会消失的。去寻找那个让你笑口常开的人吧，一个微笑就可以使暗淡的日子豁然开朗。去追寻那个令你心灵愉悦的人吧!

做你想做的梦，去你想去的地方，成为你想成为的人，因为你只有一次生命和一次机会去做你想做的事情。

You Have Only One Life生命只有一次

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go；be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

生活中，有时强烈的思念使我们恨不得一把将所爱的人从梦中带走，实实在在地拥抱他们。做自己想做的梦吧，生命只有一次，机会只有一回。

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. Always keep yourself in other’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.

愿你有足够的欢乐，使自己甜蜜；有足够的考验，使自己坚强；有足够的悲伤，使自己富有人情；有足够的希望；使自己幸福。要经常换位思维一件事，要是你感到对自己有伤害，就可能对他人也有伤害。

The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can’t go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

最幸福的人并不是那些拥有最好的`东西的人，他们只是能够将得到的东西变得最好。幸福属于那些会哭泣的人，那些受过伤害的人，那些探索的人，以及那些尝试过的人。只有他们才飞外对自己生活有影响的人们的重要。爱以微笑开始，在亲吻中成长，以泪水终结。光明灿烂的明天建立在忘却的过去之上。只有让以往的失败和伤心随风而去，你才能过得更好。

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

出生的时候，哭啼的是你，周围的人却在微笑。珍视生活，好好地活着，这样当你死去时，周围的人在哭泣，而你却在微笑。

Please send this message to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life in one way or another, to those who make you smile when you really need it, to those that make you see the brighter side of things when you really down, to those who you want to let them know that you appreciate their friendship. And if you don’t, don’t worry, nothing bad will happen to you, you will just miss out on the opportunity to brighten someone’s day with this message.

请把这些语言送给那些你所关心的人，那些在生活中这样或那样同自己打交道的人，那些需要时能给你带来微笑的人，那些在逆境中依然能使你看到光明的人，那些你珍视与他们之间的友谊的人。即使你没有这样做，也不要紧。没有什么大不了的事情，你只是错过了用这些言语照亮他人日子的机会。

如果不是眼角的血丝出卖身体的疲态，任谁也不会料想：在镜头面前侃侃而谈的周思成，清晨六点就已经起床，赶早班机前往上海，在享受了一顿美味的上海本帮菜后，便马不停蹄地赶到沪江总部。

有别于一贯的礼帽造型，当日的周思成将头发吹得格外蓬松，擦了粉底的脸白净通透，嘴唇也泛着微微的红，显然他早已为上镜做足了准备。

在冷风乍起的上海，他依旧习惯喝冰冷的咖啡；在布景之时，他饶有兴致地跟工作人员聊着北京的哥和上海的哥的不同，长沙与上海的天气变化以及琐碎的工作和生活。自诩为“新东方第一名师”的他，少了很多名人的做派和架势。

没有提前对稿，没有经纪人在旁推三阻四，也没有助理帮忙提包端茶送水，单打独斗的周思成很快进入了采访状态，在他看来，这些对于流程的熟稔大多得益于镁光灯的不时眷顾。

20xx年的那期名为“史上最牛英语老师”的《快乐大本营》，让跳着“艳舞”的周思成一夜爆红：镁光灯下的他习惯拿自己的“自恋”开涮，在舞台上毫不客气地与谢娜掐架，这些无一例外地让这个被冠以男版“芙蓉姐姐”称号的老师名声大噪。

四年的时间，他六次登上快乐大本营的舞台，与黄晓明、蔡依林互飙英语，闲不下来的他也成为许多电视节目的常客。他不喜欢炒作，也不喜欢包装，之所以游离于三尺讲台之外，用他自己的话说：“老师是个特别单纯的职业，其实老师做久了以后跟社会上的人比智商是很低的，因为你每天面对的都是学生，你知道的又比他们多，你又要不停地重复，你就是个孩子王而已，而你对于处理事情、安排事务，其实不如公司里面的人。”

蔡依林脚踩高跟鞋一站就是五个钟头，周思成说“她那么努力，我凭什么不努力”；何老师录完节目还请嘉宾们吃饭，亲和得让原本不太理人的周思成，都忍不住改变自己。

他似乎特别善于博采众长，而集合到自己身上却没有过多的违和之感。所谓“缺什么补什么”，这种汲他人之所长的本领，周思成自小就烂熟于胸。

我不是人妖，我就是妖

对于自己的农村背景，周思成没有丝毫隐讳。出生在湖南醴陵的他，童年虽清苦，却不乏苦中作乐的心态。他曾经在黑夜中点亮煤油灯，在蒸腾起的烟雾中把自己臆想成“白素贞”；也因为万分期待伞花飘落的美景，而试图在鞭炮中多塞几把小降落伞，结果笨重地飞不起来。

在现在的周思成看来，这种原始的快乐依旧散发着土腥气，而之所以如今的自己变得时尚新潮，跟父亲当年的“高瞻远瞩”不无关系。在父亲看来，彻底跟土气告别的方式只有一种，就是努力接近一切跟洋气有关的物件。在钢琴，笛子，小提琴中，父子二人选择了小提琴。上世纪九十年代，一把小提琴只要五十块钱，而一堂课也只要八块钱，能花费相对较少的代价步入“洋气”的殿堂，周思成满心欢喜。

为了给小提琴找个搭调的伙伴，周思成又学起了拉丁舞，没想到一学便“泥足深陷”，无法自拔。但当他想敲开北京舞蹈附中的大门，继续“舞男”梦想的时候，却因为近乎苛刻的选材标准被拒之门外，“他们要求下半身要比上半身长12.5厘米 但是我是长10厘米。”

2.5厘米的差距，断送了周思成的“舞男梦”。他只能悻悻地回到家乡，抱着成为一名美声歌唱家的残念，做回一名普通的高中生。但命运之神并没有就此止步，高一那年的一次晚会上，周思成一个人组织排演了八个节目，超大的工作强度，每天声嘶力竭地排练，使他得了严重的声带炎，手术之后他被告知三年都不能讲话，唱美声的梦想随之灰飞烟灭。

被打倒的周思成似乎习惯了命运的捉弄，爬起来继续把不能实现的梦想转化成平日的爱好。虽然嗓子不能发声，但肢体依旧灵活，他参加了高中的舞蹈队，却因为学习成绩好遭人排挤；他试图与学习成绩好的同学为伍，却反倒因为跳舞太好被驱逐。

从小到大，叫周思成“人妖”的人不计其数，但强大的诋毁铸就了他刀枪不入的心脏，甚至不无自嘲地喊出“我不是人妖，我就是妖”的“豪言壮语”。

错过的人和事儿让我很幸福

因为手术后需要注射抗生素的缘故，高中时的周思成体重一下子飙到一百六十多斤，一个不会说话的.“土肥圆”，却硬是当上了学校的文艺部长、报社总编、文学社长，甚至广播站长。

他标榜自己就是天才，因为他总是跟别人不一样，到头来却总是很出彩，“我总觉得有人不喜欢你不重要，前提是你心中知道你想成为什么样的人，以后别人会认可你就好了。”

身为锋芒毕露的“风云人物”，高中时的周思成并不为群体所接纳，但高三某天的一个机缘巧合，却为今天留下了一段爱恨交织的泛黄记忆。

一个长相平、没人爱的土胖娃儿，平生第一次被人牵起手，虽然只是用来搪塞别人的幌子，但是触电的感觉却足够让周思成无法自持，甚至说出了“我牵着你的手就不想再放开”的蜜语甜言。没想到偶像剧般的假戏真做真的就此应验，他们在广场上用唇语交谈，也曾许下“背你去爬岳麓山”的诺言。可世事变迁，考上湖南大学的周思成不得已与对方分手，失恋的苦痛让他每次走进岳麓山脚的湖大都心思郁结。

能让自己不生气的办法只有一个：逃离校园。但对于依旧不能说话的周思成来说，校园外的一切都是那么可望而不可及，他本可以窝在宿舍睡懒觉、玩游戏、看大片，但为了早日摆脱周身的土气，为了有朝一日可以穿上李维斯的牛仔裤，他义无返顾地投身“词海”，将英语视为救赎的稻草，一天十三个小时的背诵近乎走火入魔。

但就是因为这一年的拼命，周思成拥有了旁人无法企及的词汇储备，这无疑是一个“变压力为动力，化腐朽为神奇”的成功范例。如若没有当初失恋的刺激，或许就没有如今的“英语大王”，在他看来“不会有一件事或者一个人让你幸福，反而那些错过的人和错过的事儿给的那些指引，让你去找到正确的事儿和正确的人”。
