Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

從前，有個孩子馬上就要降生了。於是有一天他問上帝：“聽説明天您就送我去人間了，但是，我這麼弱小和無助，我在那兒怎麼生活呢？”

God replied, "Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

上帝答道：“在眾多的天使中，我特別為你挑了一位。她會在那裏守候你，無微不至地照顧你。”

But the child wasn't sure he really wanted to go. "But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy."

小孩還是不確定自己是否真的想去：“但是在天堂，我除了唱唱笑笑外，什麼也不做，這就足以讓我感到幸福了。”

"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."

“你的天使每天會為你唱歌，每天對你微笑。你會感受到她的愛，並且因此而幸福。”

"And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me," the child continued, "If I don't know the language that men talk?"

“如果我不懂人類的語言，他們跟我説話時，我怎麼聽得懂呢？”孩子繼續問道。

God patted him on the head and said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

上帝輕輕地拍了一下孩子的頭説：“你的`天使會對你説最最美麗、最最動聽的話語，而這些都是你從未聽過的。她會不厭其煩地教你説話。”

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

“如果我想與你説話怎麼辦？”

But God had an answer for that question too. "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

上帝胸有成竹地回答：“你的天使會將你的雙手合攏，教你如何祈禱。”

"I've heard that on earth there are bad men, who will protect me?"

“聽説下界有很多壞人，誰來保護我呢？”

"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life!"

“即使冒着生命危險，你的天使也會保護你的。”

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore," the child continued warily.

“但是見不到你，我會難過的。”小孩小心翼翼説道。

God smiled on the young one. "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."

聽到這兒，上帝微笑着看着孩子。“儘管我會一直陪伴你左右，你的天使仍會向你提起我，教你重返天堂之路。”

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question, softly, "Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

此時，天堂一片寧靜，凡間的聲音已可聽到，小孩明白自己得趕緊上路了。他又輕聲問了最後一個問題：“哦，上帝，假如我現在就出發，請你告訴我，我的天使叫什麼名字？”

God touched the child on the shoulder and answered, "Your angel's name is not hard to remember. You will simply call her Mommy."

上帝把手放在小孩的肩上，答道：“你的天使的名字很容易記住，你就叫她－－媽媽。”

To be or nor to be, that is a question. To succeed or to fail? How to succeed and how to achieve? These problems confuse many teenagers in nowadays.

做與不做，這是一個問題。成功抑或失敗？怎樣成功？怎樣實現夢想？這些問題困擾着很多的青少年。

We all have dreams, and we all work hard to realize them. But there will always be some problems and setbacks to stop the pace of advance. When they appear, what should we do? To stop or to go on? Mrs. Curie told us the answer. We all know that Mrs. Curie discovered radium, but how many people really know how hard she worked? At that time, there were many people disapprove of Mrs. Curie. Although she got over hundreds of difficulties, she still believed in herself and never gave up. Finally, she succeeded to discover radium. She proved that she was right by her continuous hard work and her strong spirit. We should learn from Mrs. Curie. She told us the truth through her own experiences that believe in yourself, you can do it! Never give up, face the difficulties with a smile, someday, you will be proud of yourself.

我們都有夢想，並且我們都為之努力。但是，仍然存在着一些問題和障礙阻止前進的步伐。當出現這些問題的時候我們應該怎麼做？停下來還是繼續？居里夫人告訴了我們答案。我們都知道居里夫人發現了鐳，但是又多少人真正知道她有多努力？那時候，有很多人反對居里夫人。儘管她遇到了數以百計的困難，她仍然相信自己，永不放棄。最後，她成功發現了鐳。她通過不懈的努力和堅強的意志證明了她是對的。我們都應該想居里夫人學習。她用自己的經歷告訴我們這樣一個真理：相信自己你能做到！永不放棄，微笑面對困難，終有一天你會為自己感到自豪。

The key to success is confidence. It makes you brave, helps you get over the troubles, and brings motivation to you. For example, somebody always get nervous when they have an important speech, if they are in a nervous mood, the results are always terrible. But if they are confident to themselves, the results turn out to be better. Therefore, be confident, believe in yourself, keep smile in your face when comes to difficulties, and you will achieve more.

成功的祕訣就是自信。它使你勇敢，幫助你克服困難，帶給你動力。例如，有的人進行重要的演講的時候總是變得緊張，如果他們心情緊張，結果往往很糟。但是，如果他們對自己自信，結果就會更好。因此，信心，相信自己，遇到困難面帶微笑，你就會得到更多。

We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.

Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!

The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!

No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don’t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on… No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?

Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:

“Dance as though no one is watching you, Love as though you have never been hurt before, Sing as though no one can hear you, Live as though heaven is on earth.”

When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.

So don’t lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn’t want to feel good?

我們每個人，在不同時期，都曾經像一個搖滾歌星那樣，伴着我們最愛的那首歌又唱又跳。很多人在小時候，甚至是已長大成人，都曾在我們自己房間和家裏類似的隱祕空間裏這樣過。我呢？我喜歡在開車的時候這樣！打開收音機，找一首會唱的歌，很快我就會張開雙臂，隨着節奏起舞。大部分時候，我在上班的路上這麼做。

是的，那是真的。我會穿上我漂亮的工作服，在堵車和遇到交通燈時，有人就會用奇怪的眼神看着我，或者笑我。對我個人而言，我喜歡沉浸在一首歌的節奏中，由此我願和你們分享：為人糊塗貴在何處。

糊塗一詞在字典中的定義是：愚蠢的，傻，荒謬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他們在生活中始終一臉嚴肅，而這在本質上才是真正的愚笨。

人無完人，我重申一次：沒有人是完美的。我不在乎一個人學識多深，身材多好，外表多美，思想多淺薄，生活多儉樸，多富有，等等……人無完人！那麼，為什麼要偽裝成我們實際上本不是的呢？

人生何其短暫……你不會知道這美好的征程何時會結束，那麼，為什麼要浪費一分一秒，讓自己變得稜角分明？這裏引用索薩的話，我覺得她一語中的，是人生的一大祕方：

跳舞吧，就像沒有人欣賞一樣，

去愛吧，就像沒有受到傷害一樣，

唱歌吧，就像沒有人傾聽一樣，

生活吧，就像今天是最後一天一樣。

當我們還是孩子，我們天不怕，地不怕，無憂無慮，所以我們可以不在乎自己再別人眼中的形象去做事情。然而，當我們長大，我們失去了那種天真爛漫。

所以，不要丟失你心中那個小孩。下次你感到沮喪時，去打開你最愛的那首歌吧，隨着歌唱起舞，就像沒有明天一樣。或者看點能讓你笑的東西。笑聲是除去任何煩惱良方，沒有什麼比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我，你會好受很多，誰又不想讓自己好受呢？
