My skills, my mind, my heart, and my body will stagnate, rot, and die lest I put them to good use. I have unlimited potential. Only a small portion of my brain do I employ; only a paltry amount of my muscles do I flex. A hundredfold or more can I increase my accomplishments of yesterday and this I will do, beginning today.
我的技藝,我的頭腦,我的心靈,我的身體,若不善加利用,都將隨著時間的流逝而遲鈍,腐朽,甚至死亡。
我的潛力無窮無盡,腦力、體能稍加開發,就能超過以往的任何成就。
從今天開始。
我就要開發潛力。
Nevermore will I be satisfied with yesterday's accomplishments nor will I indulge, anymore, in self-praise for deeds which in reality are too small to even acknowledge. I can accomplish far more than I have, and I will, for why should the miracle which produced me end with my birth? Why can I not extend that miracle to my deeds of today?
我不再因昨日的成績沾沾自喜,不再為微不足道的成績目吹自擂。
我能做的比已經完成的更好。
我的出生并非最后一樣奇跡,為什么自己不能再創奇跡呢?
And I am not on this earth by chance. I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.
我不是隨意來到這個世上的。
我生來應為高山。
而非草芥。
從今往后,我要竭盡全力成為群峰之巔。
將我的潛能發揮到最大限度。
I have been given eyes to see and a mind to think and now I know a great secret of life for I perceive, at last, that all my problems, discouragements, heartaches are, in truth, great opportunities in disguise. I will no longer be fooled by the garments they wear for mine eyes are open. I will look beyond the cloth and I will not be deceived.
我有雙眼,可以觀察;我有頭腦,可以思考。
現在我已洞悉了一個人生中偉大的奧秘。
我發現,一切問題、沮喪、悲傷,都是喬裝打扮的機遇之神。
我不再被他們的外表所蒙騙,我已睜開雙眼,看破了他們的偽裝。
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
無論是60歲還是16歲,你需要保持永不衰竭的好奇心、永不熄滅的孩提般求知的渴望和追求事業成功的歡樂與熱情。
在你我的心底,有一座無線電臺,它能在多長時間里接收到人間萬物傳遞來的美好、希望、歡樂、鼓舞和力量的信息,你就會年輕多長時間
An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past
boulders and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.
人的生命應當像河流,開始是涓涓細流,受兩岸的限制而十分狹窄,爾后奔騰咆哮,翻過危巖,飛越瀑布,河面漸漸開闊,河岸也隨之向兩邊隱去,最后水流平緩,森森無際,匯入大海之中,個人就這樣毫無痛苦地消失了。
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,of the appetite for adventure over the love of * often
exists in a man of sixty more than a boy of * grows old merely by a number of * grow old by deserting our ideals.
青春意味著戰勝懦弱的那股大丈夫氣概和擯棄安逸的那種冒險精神。
往往一個60歲的老者比一個20歲的青年更多一點這種勁頭。
人老不僅僅是歲月流逝所致,更主要的是不思進取的結果。
Years may wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
光陰可以在顏面上留下印記,而熱情之火的熄滅則在心靈上刻下皺紋。
煩惱、恐懼、缺乏自信會扭曲人的靈魂,并將青春化為灰燼!
