Magic
魔法
When I was younger I was entranced with stories of magic. I devoured books where wizards and warriors battled the powers of darkness in strange worlds. I rejoiced when they triumphed bringing peace and happiness to their lands. I guess like most of the readers of these stories I secretly wished for magical powers for myself. I wanted to be able to magically make my pain disappear, to make my problems go away, and to have power over this world that so often has power over us.
在我年轻的时候，我就对魔法故事深深着迷。我如饥似渴地阅读有关法师和战士在奇异的世界里与黑势力战斗的书。每当他们取得胜利并为他们生活的这片土地带来了和平和幸福时，我就倍感雀跃。我想，就像看这些故事的大多数读者一样，我也暗暗希望自己能拥有魔法：希望它能奇迹般地让我的痛苦消失，让困扰我的问题得到解决，并能让我掌握这个世界而不用屈从于它。
As I got older, however, I realized that there was no such thing as magic and the harsh reality of life set in. I struggled through a long period of poverty. I had daily pain from a back injury that never healed right. I felt sadness and sorrow when both of my sons were diagnosed with Autism. I still sometimes daydreamed of magic but in time even that faded away.
然而，当我逐渐长大，我开始意识到，根本就不存在魔法，生活的残酷现实开始袭来。我曾在一段漫长又贫苦的岁月中挣扎。我每天都会因为后背上的伤口而疼痛，这个伤口至今都未痊愈。当我的两个儿子都被诊断为自闭症时，伤感与悲痛从心底涌了出来。我有时还幻想我能拥有魔法，但这种想法很快也就消失了。
Then one day I am not sure when I began to discover a different kind of magic. This magic grew stronger in my heart, soul, and mind day by day and year by year. This magic was called LOVE. This magic connected me to God, because God is love. It also connected me to my own highest self and to all of the other souls in this world. It didn’t eliminate my poverty but it made every day of my life feel richer. It didn’t make my back pain go away but it helped me deal with it so much better. It didn’t cure my sons’ Autism, but it helped me see them as the beautiful, loving, eternal, and joyful souls that they truly are. It didn’t make me a wizard or a warrior but it helped me to dispel the darkness of this world with my own light.
然后有一天，我不知是何时开始发现了一种独特的魔法。这种魔法在我的心中、灵魂和思想里逐日发展壮大。这种魔法的名字叫爱。这种魔法将我与神联系起来，因为神就是爱。不仅如此，它还让我成为了最好的自己，并和世界上其他的灵魂心系在一起。它没有消除我的贫穷，却让我每一天的生活都很丰富;它没有使我的背部疼痛消失，但它帮助我更好地面对它;它没能治愈我儿子的自闭症，但它让我看到了他们美丽，有爱，永恒，和快乐的灵魂，这是他们真实的样子;它没有使我变成一个法师或战士，但它使我用自己的一点亮光，驱散了这个世界的黑暗。
There is such a thing as magic in this world. There is such a thing as magic in each one of us. This magic is called LOVE. May you choose it, share it, and live in it every single day of your life. May you use it to help others, to heal this world, and to build a bridge to Heaven.
在这个世界上，的确存在着一种魔法。而且我们每个人都拥有这样一种魔法。这种魔法就是爱。愿你可以选择爱，分享爱，并在充满爱的生活中度过每一天。愿你以爱助人，让这个世界更加美好，达到如天堂般的境地。

Seven years ago, my wife and I had to take our five week old daughter off of life support, by far the hardest and most painful decision of our life. Our daughter, Alle Shea, was born with the rare bone disease called Osteogenesis Imperfecta. At birth Alle Shea’s skull looked like a cracked egg on the x-rays. She also had multiple fractures in her arms and her ribs, her legs, and her wrist. The day Alle was leaving us, we were able to take her outside on the hospital deck and hold her in our arms until she passed away.
7年前，妻子和我给5周大的女儿停止了维持生命的治疗。到目前为止，那是我们生活中最艰难、最痛苦的决定。我们的女儿Alle Shea出生时就患有罕见的骨骼疾病——成骨不全症。出生时，Alle Shea的头盖骨在X光片上看起来就像有裂纹的鸡蛋，胳膊、肋骨、腿和手腕多处骨折。Alle离开我们的那天，我们用医院担架把她带出了医院，把她抱在怀里直到她去世。
Now, we had two choices that day: we could have let the grief over take us, or we could take that grief and turn it into a positive. Since that day, my wife and I have worked tirelessly volunteering our time hosting special events, and talking to students and the media about OI. We even contacted hospitals to try to get them on board with our cause - and this is the battle we are still fighting. Over the seven years, we have volunteered thousands of hours. February of 2015 we started OI Care for You program. We send stuffed animals to children with OI in the hospital for treatment, surgery or home recovering from a break.
那天我们有两个选择：要么被悲伤击倒，要么把伤痛化为动力。从那天起，妻子和我不知疲倦地利用所有时间举办特殊活动，和学生、媒体聊成骨不全症的话题。我们甚至联系医院，想让他们也加入我们，我们现在仍然在为此努力。过去的七年中，我们做了数千小时的志愿活动。2015年二月，我们启动了OI Care for You这个项目。我们把毛绒玩具送给在医院治疗、做手术或骨折在家休养的患成骨不全症的孩子们。
Each one brings a smile and comfort to a child with Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).
每个玩具都带给患病孩子微笑和安慰。
We had OI families come from neighboring cities and towns and thank us for doing what we do and giving them another way to show support for a family member with OI.
来自附近城市和城镇的家庭都来感激我们的所作所为，感谢我们给了他们家里成骨不全症患者一种特殊的支持。

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，懂得另辟蹊径。
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。
I Paid For A Young Woman's Groceries
我为一个女孩买了杂货
I was in line at Trader Joe's and the young woman in front of me had her card declined, she embarrassedly handed the cashier another card, which was also declined and then a final card that was approved for just $5.47.
我在乔氏超市连锁店排着队，排在我前面女孩的银行卡因为余额不足被退回了，于是她不好意思地递给收银员另一张卡，但还是因为同样的理由被退回了，最后她又拿出了一张卡，但余额显示只有5.47美元。
She asked the cashier to cancel the transaction. The cashier motions for manager. I smile and offer to pay the balance, which was $20 something dollars.
无奈之下，她只能让收银员取消交易。收银员示意了经理。我微笑了一下，然后帮女孩付了余款。
The woman was very thankful, the cashier was happy.
女孩很感激，收银员看到这一幕感到非常欣喜。
On my way out the manager handed me a bouquet of mixed flowers. He didn't say anything, just held the flowers out to me.
就在我走出超市时，经理递给了我一束花。但他什么也没说，只是把花递给了我。
I saw he was overcomed with emotion. I suspected that if he opened his mouth he would start to cry. I accepted the flowers with thanks and walked out feeling that, for just a few moments, the world had become a better place.
我看得出他是在克制情绪。我甚至怀疑他一旦张开嘴巴就会开始哭起来。我收下了花，并向他道谢。在我走出超市的那一刻，感觉世界都美好了起来。
You want to know the secret to success? Here it is:
你想知道成功的秘诀吗?下面我就告诉你：
Believe in yourself so much, that no one else can tell you otherwise.
要足够相信自己，这样就没有人能对你指手画脚了。
Also doubt yourself so much, that you feel like no matter how hard you work nothing could ever get you to your goal.
也要足够怀疑自己，总是感觉无论自己多么努力，好像也永远无法实现目标。
Work so hard, that your friends think you're crazy.
工作要足够努力，让朋友都觉得你疯了。
Be ridiculed, be shunned, be ignored, be told no. Get shut down so many times that you become immune to it. That it drives you, and gives you energy.
被嘲笑、被回避、被忽视、被泼冷水、被阻止的次数多了，你就习惯了，这些都是你的动力，能给你力量。
Set boundaries for yourself. IE don't spend your money going to every show.
为自己设定界限。也就是说不要花钱把所有演出都看了。
Also, go get inspired. Take yourself out of your work cycle, remind yourself why you are working yourself to the bone.
而且要寻找启发。从日复一日的工作中抽出身来，提醒自己拼命工作是为了什么。
Give EVERYTHING to your craft. If there's someone in your life or something you do that prevents you from working 25 hours a day, get rid of it.
全身心投入工作。如果生活中有人或事妨碍你一天工作25小时，就把他们赶出你的生活。
Ingrain the idea in your mind that NOTHING will get you where you want to be other than hard work.
头脑中要有一个根深蒂固的想法，那就是只有努力工作才能帮你实现目标。
Keep working so hard, that eventually what you are doing isn't work. It's who you are. And now people are taking notice. Your parents believe in you; your friends support you.
坚持努力工作，最终你不是在做工作，而是在做人。人们都会注意你，家人会信任你，朋友会支持你。
Keep doubting yourself. Always know that there's something else better out there that you have to keep working harder than you did yesterday to achieve.
要一直自我怀疑。你要知道前方总是有比你昨天已经实现的目标更好的东西等待你去为之努力。
Enjoy yourself. Be happy. Be grateful, be humble.
享受生活。要开心、感恩、谦卑。
Keep working your ass off so you can make every single day of your life as good as this one, and better than the day before it.
拼命工作，你才能使每天都这么美好，每天都比前一天更美好。
