愛在哪裏？愛在一切細節裏
I have always believed that reading books can expand the mind, touch the heart, and enrich the soul. They can also cause your imagination to do some funny things at times. I can remember several years ago reading a book where the hero went through several tragedies and at one point in the midst of his pain and torment cried out: “Where is Love?”. At that moment in my imagination I leapt into the story, grabbed him by the arm and told him: “It’s everywhere! It’s everywhere!”Love is everywhere. You just have to open your heart to see it.
我一直秉持着讀書能夠開闊視野、直抵內心、豐滿靈魂這一觀點。在書中有些描寫有趣的事情還會激發你的想象力。猶記得多年前讀過的一本書中，裏面的英雄幾度經歷悲苦，在飽受折磨和痛苦中，一次他不禁吶喊：“哪裏有愛?”看到此處，我彷彿也縱身如故事中，抓着他的手臂，對他説，“到處都是!無處不在!”愛一直都在，只要你用心感受。
For me it is there every time I watch the dawn break upon a new day. It is there every time a brisk winter breeze blows across my face. It is there in the first flower of Spring. It is there in the green grass of Summer. It is there in the last leaf of Fall. It is there every time my handicapped sons give me a hug. It is there every time my daughter laughs at one of my dumb jokes. It is there in the adoring eyes of my old beagle and my new puppy. It is there in the purring cat that naps on my chest. It is there in the smile of the clerk behind the counter. It is there in the old man who opens a door for me. It is there when I read a letter from a friend. It is there every time I pray. It is there in everything I write and every act of kindness I do.
對我來説愛在，黎明破曉新一天。愛在冬日冷風迎面，春日初花綻放，夏日綠草如茵，秋日孤葉凋零。對我來説，愛在身患殘疾的兒子們給我的每一個擁抱裏，在女兒對我的冷笑話給予的微笑裏，愛在我的老獵犬和新寵物狗崇拜的目光中，在我胸前小憩喵咪的呼嚕聲中。愛在櫃枱後面服務員微笑，老人為我開門。愛在閲讀友人來信，在我的每次禱告。愛在我的字裏行間，愛在我的一言一行。
The Bible tells us that “God is Love.” And since God is without beginning or end then so is love. It fills all of His creation. It fills us as well every time we open our hearts and souls to it. Don’t shut out love then. Don’t live your life in pain. Open your heart instead. Share your love instead. You will find that the more love you give away, the more love you will have. You will find that the more love you share, the more God’s love will surround you. You will find that when you live your life in love, you will find love everywhere.
聖經中説，上帝仁愛。上帝不生不滅是因為愛，他把愛傾注在造物中。愛不只是口頭表達，不要生活在痛苦中。不要緊閉心門，來吧，分享你的愛。你會發現給予更多，就會得到更多。施與很多愛，上帝的恩寵也會與你形影不離。當你的生活沐浴在愛之中，愛就無處不在。

親測一見鍾情
I have to say for me, I've always believed it, in a fairy tale kind of way.
就我而言，我總是很迷信一見鍾情，帶着童話故事般的少女心。
You know, like the way you believe in Santa Claus or the story of Cinderella, etc..., and I have to admit that though I've become older, I gotta' tell you that I, in a small way still believe in those dreamy fairytales, call me crazy, but I do!
就像是相信聖誕老人或是灰姑娘的故事那樣，儘管我長大了，但是我的內心仍保留着相信這些美好的`小情愫。才不管別人説我有病，我天性使然。
I mean even though I learned that my family was the actual (Santa Claus) I still believe, in that story.
哪怕是已經知道聖誕老人就是家裏人假扮的，但我還是偏執的相信他的存在。
But with that being said, I always believed that love at first sight indeed happens. I just never believed it could or actually would happen to me, in my life.
而且我還執迷於一見鍾情，雖然我從來沒有指望過會發生在自己的身上。
I encountered this years ago, it was one of the most amazing things that has ever happened to me.
就在幾年前，我親測了一見鍾情，這大概是在我身上發生的最不可思議的事情之一。
I mean, I really felt like I was shot by an arrow of cupid.
那種感覺就像是中了丘比特之箭。
It happened just as simple as this; he walked in, my head was down, he asked me a question, I looked up to respond and our eyes locked; I can't even begin to describe the feeling that entered inside of my being, my mind, my entire soul...
事情很簡單，他走進來，我低下了頭，他問了我一個問題，我抬頭回答，眼神交匯，我很難描述那種彷彿進入我的軀體，思想，靈魂的感覺…
I felt at that moment I had no control over what I was feeling.
那一刻我感到不能自已。
I then gave him what he asked for, he said thank you, I replied, you're welcome.
我回答他以後，他道謝，我回應不用謝。
The feeling was so strong and electric, it was undeniable that he felt it too.
這種感覺很強烈好像觸電，他肯定也感覺到了。
I still remember the look on his face, his facial expression manifested the way I was feeling on the inside, like WOO!!!
我還記得他的神情，可以肯定與我的感覺是一樣的。
Which to me translated all wrong because my dress was wrinkled, my hair was a mess, my mind was in a shambles because (behind the scenes of my life) I was handling, juggling, carrying and experiencing so much and it seemed that I was on my way to a break down and it seemed like God knew what to do, because in that moment of meeting that guy and and having that eye locking experience for that second (or however long it was) I was in Euphoria.
事實證明我錯了，因為我裙子皺巴巴的，頭髮亂糟糟的，腦子糊嗒嗒的，因為要同時處理、迴應、感受這麼多事情，我又自説自話的難過起來，只有上帝知道我要做什麼，尤其是在眼神相處之時，也不知道有多久，我一直處在精神愉悦之中。
My eyes followed him to the door and after he was gone, I found I could breathe. I felt like I could do and be anything when he left. So, back to the question, do you believe in love at first sight?
我的眼神隨着他到了門口，目送他離開，才發現我能自如的呼吸，只有等他走後，我的一切才能恢復正常。言歸正傳，話説，你相信一見鍾情不?

So often we think about what we can get out of others when we try to make friends, but that thinking needs to be flipped around.

Try offering a piece of helpful advice or invite someone you just met to grab coffee or lunch with you the following week.
試着提供一個有用的建議或邀請你剛才遇到的人來喝杯咖啡或者邀請他在接下來的一週和你一起共進午餐。
4. Always have 3 good stories to tell other people.
總是有3個好故事來告訴別人。
When you have at least a few stories to share with others, you’ll never run out of things to talk about.
當你至少有幾個故事與他人分享時，你將永遠有談不盡的話題。
5. Smile like there’s no tomorrow.
盡情微笑。
It may not be natural for some of us to smile, but a smile is one of the most attractive things that someone can display when they’re meeting new people.
對有些人來説，微笑可能是件不自然的事情，但是微笑是最有吸引力的事情之一。當結識新人時，人們可以傳遞他們的微笑。
Think about these 5 strategies as tools. They’re always available if you want to connect with people instantly and develop true lasting friendships.
我們可以把這5種策略作為工具。如果你想與人立即建立關係，並且發展成真正長久的友誼，它們總是有用的。
