Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, to teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be - your roommate, neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

有時，一些人一闖入你的生活你便知道他們本就想這麼做，其中有着一定的目的——或給你一個教訓，或幫助你明白你是誰或你要成為誰。你永遠也不知道這些人會是誰，是你的舍友、鄰居、教授、久違的朋友、愛人，甚或是一個完全的陌生人。當你與他們四目相對，你便知道他們會以某種深遠的方式影響你的生活。

And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity - all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

有時，一些事情發生了，它們看上去是那麼可怕、痛苦和不公;但細想一下你就會明白，如果沒有去努力克服這些難題，你將永遠也不會知道自己的潛能、力量、意志力和內心。任何事情的發生都是有原因的，沒有一件事是偶然發生的或是因了某種好運或厄運發生的。疾病、傷害、愛、真正的偉大的消逝和完全的愚蠢――所有這一切的發生都是對你的精神極限的考驗。不管這考驗是一些事件、疾病或是某種關係，沒有了它們，生活都將只剩下陽光大道，安穩、舒適，但卻單調、沒有意義，不會通往任何地方。

The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience - they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.

你遇到的那些影響你的生活的人和你所經歷的成功或失敗，都會讓你看清自己。即使是不好的經歷，也能讓你從中得到教訓。這些教訓是最嚴酷的，但也可能是最重要的。

If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

如果有人傷害了你、背叛了你、或讓你心碎，原諒他們吧，因為他們幫助你懂得了什麼是信任，也讓你明白了對那些你敞開心扉交往的人保持謹慎的重要性。如果有人愛你，那麼也無條件地愛他們吧，不光因為他們愛你，也因為他們教會了你如何去愛，如何打開心扉、張開眼睛去感受那些沒有他們你便不能看到或感受到的世間的種種。

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.

讓每一天都過得有意義吧。享受生命中的每一刻，盡你所能從中汲取，因為以後你可能沒有機會再有同樣經歷。

Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

與那些你從沒打過招呼的人互相交談聆聽吧，讓自己沐浴愛河吧，自由地衝破藩籬，讓你的眼界更加高遠吧。抬起你的頭，因為你有權利這樣做。相信自己，告訴自己你很了不起，因為如果連你自己都不相信自己，別人又怎能相信你?你能夠按自己的意願生活。去創造出自己的生活，然後走出來享受生活吧。

"People are like tea bags - you have to put them in hot water before you know how strong they are."

人就像茶葉袋，只有放到熱水中，你才能知道他們有多強大。

Wherever you are, and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this moment, and in all the moments of our existence. We are not at rest; we are on a journey.

Our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady ceaseless progress toward an unseen goal. We are gaining something, or losing something, everyday. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For the mere advance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July. The season makes the difference. The limitations that are childlike in the children are childish in the man.

Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another. Even the failure to do something is in itself a deed. It sets us forward or backward. The action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole. To decline is to accept -- the other alternative.

Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday? Yes, -- you must be a little nearer to some port or other; for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life, you have never been still for a single moment; the sea is too deep, and you could not find an anchorage if you would; there can be no pause until you come into port.

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old university professor. The conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and in life. Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups -- chatelaine, plastic, glass, crystal, some plain-looking, some expensive, some exquisite -- telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

一羣畢業生，各自在事業上都已有所建樹，相約一起去看望他們年老的大學教授。談話一會兒就變成了各自對工作和生活壓力的抱怨。在用咖啡招待這些客人時，教授去廚房端來一大壺咖啡，並拿出各式各樣的咖啡杯——陶瓷的、塑料的、玻璃的、水晶的，有看上去普通的、有價值不菲的、有做工精細的——讓他們自己倒咖啡喝。

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said:

當所有學生手中都端了一杯咖啡後，教授發話了 ：

If you noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress.

“如果你們注意一下，就會發現所有好看的昂貴的杯子都被挑走了，剩下的只是那些普通的和便宜的。當然，每個人都只想擁有最好的，這很正常，但這也正是你們的問題和壓力的根源所在。”

What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups.

“其實你們真正想要的是咖啡，而不是杯子，但你們卻又都下意識去挑選最好的杯子，並觀察別人拿到的杯子。”

Now consider this: Life is the coffee and the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and do not change the quality of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee God has provided. So, don't let the cups drive you ... enjoy the coffee instead.

“現在設想一下：如果生活是杯中的咖啡，工作、財富和社會地位就是那些杯子。它們只是維持生活的工具而已，並不改變生活質量。有時候，我們在過於關注杯子的`同時卻忘了去品 味上帝賜予的咖啡。所以，不要成為杯子的奴隸…好好品味杯中的咖啡。”

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

在一場船難中，唯一的倖存者隨着潮水，漂流到一座荒無人煙的小島上。他焦躁不安地祈禱上帝能夠救他。每天他都注視着海上是否有可搭救他的人，但似乎沒有人前來。

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions.

感覺筋疲力盡，他最終決定用浮木造一個簡陋的小木屋，以保護他在這險惡的環境中生存，並且保存他所剩無幾的東西。

But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.

但有一天，在他搜尋完食物回到小屋時，卻發現他的小屋陷入熊熊烈火之中，滾滾濃煙不斷向天上竄。

The worst had happened: everything was lost.

最糟糕的是:他所有的一切通通化為烏有。

He was stunned with grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried.

他既悲痛又憤怒，茫然不知所措，怒喊道:“神啊！你怎麼可以這樣對我！”

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him.

第二天一早，他被一艘正向小島駛近的船隻的鳴笛聲吵醒。那是來救他的。

How did you know I was here? he asked the weary man of his rescuers.

“你們怎麼知道我在這裏？”他問那些船員中一個充滿倦意的人。

We saw your smoke signal, they replied.

“我們看到了你發出的煙霧信號。”他們回答説。

It is easy to get discouraged when things are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering.

人處於困境時，很容易變得沮喪。但我們不應失去信心，因為上帝一直在我們的生活中做着工作，甚至在我們遭遇疼痛和苦難時也是這樣。

Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground, it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God. For all the negative things we have to say to ourselves, God has a positive answer for it.

記住：當下一次你的小木屋燒燬時，那可能只是召喚上帝美妙恩典的煙霧信號而已。在所有我們認為負面的事情，上帝都有正面的答案。
