Reflections on Life
人生凝眸
You are the only one in a sea of infinity!
在无穷无尽有宇宙中,你是独一无二的。
Your dearest possession is life, and it is given to you but once.
你所拥有的一切中最宝贵的便是生命,而属于你的生命只有这一次。
Life gives every one his opportunities, but it doesn't send them into his hands.
生命给每个人提供了机遇送到他手里。
Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.
不管你想要去哪里,想要做什么,真正做决定的还是你自己。
You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today!
你就是手握今日之画笔描绘自己未来的艺术家。

I had flown into Dallas for the sole purpose of calling on a client. Time was of the essence and my plan included a quick turnaround trip from and back to the airport. A spotless cab pulled up.
我飞来达拉斯只是为了 拜访 一位客户。时间就是生命,我计划拜访他之后急速返回机场。一辆一尘不染的出租车停了下来。
The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver's seat, he mentioned that the neatly folded Wall Street Journal next to me was for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy.
司机迅速下车为我打开客座车门,等我舒服地坐好后才把车门关上。在驾驶座上坐定之后,他告诉我,放在我旁边的那份叠得整齐的《华尔街日报》是供我翻阅的。然后,他又将几盒磁带递给我,问我喜欢什么样的音乐。
Well! I looked around for "Candid Camera!" Wouldn't you? I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, "Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell
噢!我环顾四周,看偷拍相机藏在哪里!如果你遇到这样的情形,恐怕你也会这样做!我简直不敢相信有这等服务!我趁机说:“看得出你为自己的工作感到非常自豪,这其中一定有 故事 吧。”
You bet, he replied, "I used to be in Corporate America. But I got tired of thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my niche in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be. ”
“没错,”他回答道,“我以前曾在一家大公司上班,但是无论怎么努力也达不到别人的要求,我厌倦了这种生活。于是,我决定为我的人生开创属于自己的一片新天地,在那里我能做到最好,并为此感到自豪。
I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, being of service and feeling like I have done a full day's work and done it well. I evaluated my personal assets and... wham! I became a cab driver.
“我知道成不了火箭专家,但我喜欢开车,喜欢为他人服务,喜欢完成了一天的工作并且干得出色的那种感觉。我算了下我手头的资产。。。嗯,然后,我开上了出租车。”
One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be great in my business, I have to exceed the customer's expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being 'great' better than just getting by on 'average'.
“有一件事我深信不疑,想在这个行当中做得好,只要满足乘客的期望就行了。而要想干得很好,我就必须超出顾客的期望!我不满足于仅仅以一般服务打发日子,我喜欢顾客对我优质服务的赞誉和因此得到的回报。”

The Blessing Tree
祈愿树
I had gone into a supervisor's office to talk about a couple of issues that needed to be addressed. She, like all of the men and women in her department, had been through the proverbial "ringer." The stress was so intense, one could almost taste it.
我走进一位主管的办公室,和她讨论一些需要处理的事情。所有在这个部门工作的人,都像俗语所说的“被上了套”,她也不例外。他们所承受的压力之大,让人体会得到。
I had been assisting the department during a crunch period of being very short-handed, and was watching everyone get close to burn-out. When I inquired about her state of mind, she confessed that her home life was almost non-existant, because she was "zombieing through the evening". The next words out of her mouth expressed a frustration of my own: "This work is not my gift from God. My family is!"
我在这个部门人手不足的危急时刻来这儿帮忙,亲眼目睹了每个人都接近于精疲力竭的状态。当我问及她的精神状态时,她坦言自己几乎没有家庭生活,每天早晨醒来,她都像一具经过夜晚起死回生的行尸走肉。她接下来说的话也是我在受挫时想说的:“这份工作不是上帝给我的礼物。我的家庭才是!”
I had heard of hanging all of one's problems from the office on a "Trouble Tree" while driving home, to be picked up on the way back to the office in the morning, and for a brief second thought about suggesting that scenario.
我曾经听说过在下班开车回家之前把一个人在办公室遇到的所有难题都挂在一个“烦恼树”上,第二天早晨上班时再把它们拿下来。我思考片刻,想告诉她这个办法。
But what came out was: "Why don't we do something different? Let's have a Blessing Tree. On the way home in the evening, we could pull down a blessing to dwell on a character trait we adore in our spouse, a particular reason we love them, the love they or our children have for us. The list could be endless."
但是我说出口的是:“我们为什么不能做点与众不同的事呢?让我们种一颗‘祈愿树’,每天晚上回家之前获得一个愿望,祈求我们的爱人拥有我们所喜欢的性格特征,祈求我们因为某个特殊的理由爱他们,祈求我们的爱人和孩子对我们的爱。肯定有列不完的东西。”
When I tried it on the way home that night, the stress seemed to melt away. There was a "spring in my step" and when I arrived, a smile of joy and contentment was bubbling up from within! For the first time in 2 weeks, I was overjoyed to greet my wife and children!
那天晚上我走在回家的路上,压力好像消失了。我的步伐似乎也轻快起来,当我回到家时,我脸上浮起了微笑,这微笑源自内心的喜悦和满足。两个星期以来,我第一次为和妻子、孩子打招呼而感到由衷的高兴。
The Blessing Tree could make a major difference in your evenings, especially after those really tough days.
祈愿树使你的夜晚和以前截然不同,尤其是在那些艰难的日子之后。

On warm evenings I often sat in the boat playing the flute, and saw the perch swimming around me. I saw the moon traveling over the bottom of the lake, which was strewn1 with the fallen leaves and branches.
天气晴和的夜晚,我也常独驾一舟,弄笛湖上,看水中的鲈鱼饶舟不去。俯视湖底,落木坠枝,横斜交错,皓月一轮,行径其上。
Once, I used to come to this pond in dark summer nights with a friend. We would make a fire there, which we thought attracted the fishes. Late in the night, we threw the burning firewood high into the air, which, when it came down into the pond, went out with a loud hissing. And we were suddenly in total darkness. Then, whistling a tune, we made our way to the village again. But now I had made my home by the shore.
以前,在那些深黝的夏日夜晚,我曾不止一次与友人寻胜至此。我们总是先在岸边燃起一堆篝火,我们认为此法最能把鱼招来。待到夜色渐深,我们便把那尚未燃尽的木柴像烟火似地抛入暗空,一阵闪亮之后,缀湖澌灭,嗤然有声。然后长啸一曲,摸黑寻回村落。不过我最近索性就迁居到那里,傍湖而居了。
Sometimes, after the family had all gone to bed, I returned to the woods. Partly for the next day’s dinner, I spent the hours of midnight fishing from a boat by moonlight. At this time, I heard owls and foxes serenade, along with the singing of some unknown birds. These experiences were very memorable and valuable to me. In the center of the water, there were sometimes thousands of small perch and shiners, breaking the surface with their tails. I sometimes threw a line into the pond as I drifted in the gentle night breeze, now and then feeling a slight shaking along it. Pulling the line out of the pond, I saw a perch wriggling in the air.(excerpt)
有时,待家人睡去,我又重新返回林中。半为明日的食物筹措,我于夜半自操一舟,趁着月色,独钓湖上。这时鸱鸣狐啸,伴着一两声怪鸟的戛鸣。回想这些夜游,至今历历难忘。在水中央,鲈鱼银鱼成群,不啻千百,翻舞嬉戏,不时在湖面翻起层层涟漪。有时,于夜风习习之中,我将钓丝投入湖里,但不时忽觉手下一丝微颤。轻轻将线一扯,只见一只鲈鱼在半空中活蹦乱跳。(节选)
Life is full of decisions and most people take their lifetime to master the ability to make one.
生活中,许多事情需要我们做出决定,因此,许多人用一生的时间去学习掌握做决定的能力。
Each of us makes decisions daily, such as what clothes to wear, what to eat, and what to drink. We’re all excellent at judging other people’s decisions. But what about our own decisions? What about the decisions each of us makes, such as going to college, quitting college, quitting a job for another one and so on? These are life-defining moments that create two different life paths. None of these decisions should be taken lightly.
每个人每天都要做决定,如决定穿什么、吃什么、喝什么。我们都擅长判断别人的决定,但你擅长判断自己的决定吗?我们自己做的决定怎么样?如上学、退学、辞职另谋新生等等。这些都是对人生有界定意义、会创造两种不同人生道路的时刻,每一个都不能怠慢。
Although we are all skillful at judging others, we should spend some time to get comfortable with ourselves to make decisions without the fear of judgment. Judgment comes from insecurity3. Each insecurity that we have moves us further and further to make a good decision. In order to control our insecurities we need to identify them and be comfortable with ourselves. To accomplish that we can all use some help. You may get it from a friend or a family member.
即使擅长判断别人的决定,我们也应该花些时间让自己应付自如地做决定,而且不必害怕做出判断。判断力来自于不安全感。我们的每一个不安全感都会推动我们去做出正确的决定。为了控制我们的不安全感,我们需要辨别它们,让自己能无所顾忌。为了达到这个目标,我们可以寻求别人的帮助。你可以从朋友或者家人那里得到你需要的帮助。
The best part about decision-making is that there is no right or wrong answer. Decisions are choices, and choices are individual. Try to put some more effort into your own decisions and leave the judgment at the door.
关于做决定,其最美好之处在于答案没有对错之分。做决定是种抉择,而且抉择是仁者见仁、智者见智。尽力做出自己的选择,不必介意你的选择是对或是错。
Perhaps your idea is a business venture, a travel adventure, or a career that you would like to pursue. When you get an idea that excites you, don’t push the idea away. Remember to follow your dream, because you have the power to make it come true.
或许你想去投资经商、旅游历险或是致力于你喜爱的事业。当你有了让自己激动的想法,那就坚持这个想法。记得坚持自己的梦想,因为你有能力让梦想成真。
Would you say your life is fun? Would you say you have more fun days than not? You would be surprised at so many people tell me that they do not think their life is fun and that most of their days are anything but fun. I find that a shame! Life is more fun than you think!
你会说自己的生活很有趣吗?你会说你度过的有趣日子比无趣的日子多吗?你会惊讶于许多人曾告诉我他们从不觉得自己的生活有趣甚至根本就无趣。这些人的话真令人感到遗憾。实际上,生活比你想像的要有趣得多。
What’s fun about it? That depends on you! What is it that would make your life more fun? I know the answer for me. I find all sorts of things fun, but if my mind is thinking negatively, then nothing seems fun.
生活怎么才有趣?决定权在你。什么会让你的生活更有趣?我知道什么能让我的生活更有趣。我发现各种各样有趣的事物,但如果我的思想很消极,那一切有趣的事物都会变得很无趣。
How’s your thinking? If your head is in the wrong place, you could have a million dollars cash but you wouldn’t be having fun. On the other side of the coin, you could be changing a flat tire and, if your mind is right, it might be the most fun thing you have ever done.
关于有趣的生活,你有何见解?如果心态不对,即使拥有一百万美金你也不可能尽情享乐。换个角度想想,如果心态是对的,即使是在换爆掉的轮胎,那都可能会是你干过的最有趣的事。
You decide what is fun. When I do something, I just tell myself that I am not going to complain about it and that I will enjoy it; and I do.
你可以决定什么事情有趣。当我做事时,我会告诉自己不去抱怨而是享受。我确实做到了。
If you believe, think and act like everything is a pain, then it will be. If you think, believe and act like life is happy, then that will become your reality as well.
如果你的信仰、思维和行为表现得好像任何事情都是痛苦的,那任何事情就都会是一种痛苦。反而言之,如果你的思维、信仰和行为表现得好像生活很幸福,那你的生活也就会很幸福。
Which do you choose?
你打算做何选择呢?
