致每一个努力的你们
the tides advance; the tides recede. winter goes and summer comes. summer wanes and thecold increases. the sun rises; the sun sets. the moon is full; the moon is black. the birdsarrive; the birds depart. flowers bloom; flowers fade. seeds are sown; harvests are reaped. allnature is a circle of moods and i am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise;my moods will fall.
潮起潮落,冬去春来,夏末秋至,日出日落,月圆月缺,雁来雁往,花飞花谢,草长瓜熟,自然界万物都在循环往复的变化中,我也不例外,情绪会时好时坏。
today l will be master of my emotions.
今天我学会控制情绪。
it is one of nature's tricks, little understood, that each day i awaken with moods that havechanged from yesterday.
这是大自然的玩笑,很少有人窥破天机。每天我醒来时,不再有旧日的心情。
yesterday's joy will become today's sadness; yet today's sadness will grow into tomorrow's joy.inside me is a wheel, constantly tuning from sadness to joy, from exultation to depression,from happiness to melancholy.
昨日的快乐变成今天的哀愁,今天的悲伤又转为明日的喜悦。我心中像一只轮子不停地转着,由乐而悲,由悲而喜,由喜而忧。
like the flowers, today's full bloom of joy will fade and wither into despondency, yet i willremember that as today's dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow's bloom so, too, doestoday's sadness carry the seed of tomorrow's joy.
这就好比花儿的变化,今天枯败的花儿蕴藏着明天新生的种子,今夭的悲伤也预示着明天的快乐。
and how will i master these emotions so that each day will be productive? for unless my moodis right the day will be a failure.
我怎样才能控制情绪,以使每天卓有成效呢?除非我心平气和,否则迎来的又将是失败的一天。
trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish but i make my own weather, yea itransport it with me.
花草树木,随着气候的变化而生长,但是我为自己创造天气。
if i bring rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism to my customers then they will reactwith rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism and they will purchase naught.
我要学会用自己的心灵弥补气候的不足。如果我为顾客带来风雨、忧郁、黑暗和悲观,那么他们也会报之于风雨、忧郁、黑暗和悲观,而他们什么也不会买。
if i bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter to my customers they will react withjoy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter and my weather will produce a harvest ofsales and a granary of gold for me.
相反的,如果我们为顾客献上欢乐、喜悦、光明和笑声,他们也会报之以欢乐、喜悦、光明和笑声,我就能获得销售上的丰收,赚取成仓的金币。
and how will i master my emotions so that every day is a happy day, and a productive one?
我怎样才能控制情绪,让每天充满幸福和欢乐?
i will learn this secret of the ages: weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions;strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.
我要学会这个千古秘诀:弱者任思绪控制行为,强者让行控制思绪。

there will be days when i must in the world constantly struggle against forces which wouldtear me down.
