Living Life Over
2008-6-03
Living Life Over
If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.
I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.
I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.
I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.
I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.
I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day.
I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.
There would have been more "I love yous" ... more "I'm sorrys"... but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.
中文翻译：
如果有来生
如果有来生，我会少说，多听
我会请朋友来家吃饭，即便地毯脏了，沙发褪色了。
我会抽时间听祖父絮叨他的青年时代
我不会因为刚刚把头发梳理定型而要求在夏天关上车窗。
我会点燃那支雕成玫瑰状的蜡烛，而不让它在尘封中熔化。
我会与孩子们坐在草地上，不去担心草地上的污渍。
我会把泪水和笑声更多地留给观察人生，而不是观看电视。
如果生病了，我会卧床休息，而不是自认没有我，地球就不转了。
我不会买那些仅仅是实用，或者不显脏，或者保证能用一生的东西。
我会更多地说“我爱你”……“对不起”……然而，最重要的是，如果有来生，
我会抓住每一秒……看人生，读人生……体验人生……再也不放手。

Now is the Best Time to Be Happy
2008-6-03
We convice ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are grown up.
After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. WE will certainly be happy when ther are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete whe our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicet car, and are able to go on a nice vacation. Or when we retire.
我们安慰自己，生活会随着结婚，有了一两个孩子而更加美满。然而，孩子尚小时，他们会把我们弄得焦头烂额，只有当他长大后我们才能感到心满意足。
之后，我们又会对十几岁孩子的问题感到束手无策。只有当他们走过这一时期，我们才会确实幸福愉快。我们告诉自己，当爱人始终如一地给予我们支持，当我们都获得了漂亮的汽车，能够进行一次愉快的旅行，或者当我们退休后，那时的生活才称得上完美。
The truth is, there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenged. It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.
Happiness is the way. So, treausure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special., special enough to sepnd your time with him, and remeber that time waits for no one.
事实上，没有比“现在”更令人幸福的时光。如果不是“现在”，又会是何时呢？最后接受人生充满挑战这一事实，并决定无论怎样都要让自己快乐。
幸福是一段旅程。因此，要珍爱你所拥有的每刻，更要珍视那些与你分享时光的特别之人，谨记，岁月不待人。
So, stop waiting.
There is no better time than right now to be happy.
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So, work like you don't need money: love like you've never been hurt; and dance like no one's watching.
所以，切勿等待。
人生中没有比现在更快乐的时光。
幸福是一段旅程，而非目的地。
因此，投入地工作，让人觉得你并不需要钱财；倾心地去爱，让人觉得你不曾被伤害过，旁若无人地尽情去舞吧。

Where is Happiness
2008-6-03
We can find happiness today if we only look. Happiness is in our hearts and asks only to be celebrated and valued. It comes from within. If we fill our mind with pleasant we try to look on the bright side, we invite happiness.
No amout of money, possessions, or ego gratification can bring us happiness. There is no such thing as the perfect car, house, job or person to make us happy. Peace of mind comes with the recognition that happiness is the state of mind we chose. Being happy today enables us to be happy forever. Today is what counts.
Our fears try to prevent us from feeling joy and pleasure. The fearful part of us would like us to be in a constant state of watching over our shoulder and of doubting the future. Imaging going to be fitted for new glasses. Your sight will be improved. You will see things more clearly. Consider adjusting your mind in a similar way. As unproductive, unhelpful thougts creep into your consciousness replace them with better-fitting thoughts that focus on joy and pleasure.

Redifine Yourself
2008-6-03
How do you difine yourself? As a mother, father, daughter or any one of a myriad different titles? Or do you define yourself by other's perception of you? Do any of these come close to your own knowledge, your personal experience of whom you really are?
In your quiet moments, in times of inexplicable joy, have you had the overwhelming and yet clear and lucid feeling of total invincibility -- a feeling that nothing can hold you down, that you can accomplish anything and everything if you put your mind to it? Well, that feeling is not a random one.
What is ti that gets in the way of your exquisite power?
In fact, the infinite power that is naturally present in each and every one of us by virtue of own consicousness, can be rendered ineffectived if not tended to properly. The stress of our lifestyle, the pollution of our environment, and the collective stress of our world keeps us from functioning at our full potential.
But there are remedies: incorporate modalities in your lifesyle that effectively combat stress and help keep you centered. Some of these opinions are:
Be aware of what you eat, what you use-- both on yourself, and in your environment. Choose natural, organic products.
Live a life of kindness, compassion, and charity-- it keeps you connected to your center, your source, that infinite reservoir within you that is your powerhouse.
Don't judge people, or situation-- approach each moment with the potential of any number of possibilities.
To connect with your real nature that is unbounded and invincible, practice yoga and mediation
Once you are in touch with your true nature, then nothing is beyond your means-- you are truly empowered. And that is an accurate definition of you!

Love 爱情
2008-6-03
I love you, not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.
我爱你，不是因为你是谁，而是和你在一起时我是谁。
No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is. Won't make you cry.
没有人值得你流泪，值得你这么做的人不会任你哭泣。
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right besides them knowing you can't have them.
失去某人，最糟糕的莫过于，他近在身边，却犹如远在天边。
Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
纵然伤心，也不要愁眉不展，因为你不知谁会爱上你的笑容。
To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
对于世界而言，你是一个人，但是对于某个人来说，你可能是他的整个世界。
Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
不能为那些不愿在你身上花费时间的人身上浪费你的时间。
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式来爱你，那并不表示他们没有全心全意地爱你。
Don't try so hard, the best things come when yu least expect them to.
不要着急，最好的总会在你最不经意的时候出现。
Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finallyt meet the person, we will know to be grateful.
在遇到合适的人之前，上天也许会安排我们先遇到几个不合适的人；当我们终于遇见心仪的人时，便会心存感激。
Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。

You Can Start to Win at Any Time
2008-6-03
To solve any problem or to reach your goal, you don't need to know all the answers in advance. But you must have a clear idea of the problem or the goal you want to reach.
All you have to do is know where you're going. The answers will come to you of their own accord. Don't procrastinate when faced with a big diffcult problem, break the problem into parts, and handle one part at a time.
If you can get up the courage to begin, you have the courage to succed. It's the job you never start that takes the longest to finish. Don't worry about what lies dimly at a distance, but do what lies clearly ahead.
Your biggest oppurtunity is where you are right now. Once you begin you're half done.
