第42章 请加入到微笑者和感恩者的行列 (4)

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,an hour to like someone,and a day to love someone-but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don’t go for looks;they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth;even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be,because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

Always put yourself in the other’s shoes. If you feel that it hurts you,it probably hurts the person too.

A careless word may kindle strife;a cruel word may wreck a life;a timely word may level stress;a loving word may heal and bless.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Love begins with a smile,grows with a kiss,ends with a tear. When you were born,you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

只有付出的爱是痛苦的,但比这更痛苦是爱一个人却没有勇气让那人知道你的感情。

生命中令人悲伤的一件事是你遇到了一个对你来说很重要的人,但却最终发现你们有缘无份,因此你不得不放手。

最好的朋友就是那种能和你促膝而坐,彼此不说只字片语,分别时却感到这是你有过的最好的一次交流!

的确只有当我们失去时才知道曾拥有的是什么,同样,只有当我们拥有了才知道曾经失去了什么。

迷上某人只需一分钟,喜欢上某人需要一小时,爱上某人则要一天,然而,忘记某人却是一辈子的事情。

别倾心于容貌,因为它具有欺骗性,也别倾心于财富,它也会消散,倾心于那个能带给你笑容的人吧,因为一个笑容能使漫漫长夜如白昼般明亮。

做你想做的梦吧,去你想去的地方吧,成为你想成为的人吧,因为你只有一次生命,一个机会去做所有那些你想做的事。

要设身处地的为别人着想, 如果一双鞋你穿着夹脚, 别人的感觉可能也一样。

无心快语可能引发争执,无情之词可能折损生命,适时温语可能消弭压力,而关爱之声可能治愈心灵。

幸福之人并非拥有一切,只是尽力享受生活的赐予。

爱情以笑开始,以吻转浓,以泪结束。当你哭着降临人世时,身边的每个人都在为此欢笑,好好生活吧,这样你就能含笑离开人世,而身边的每个人都在为此哭泣。?

Winds of Forgiveness Can Erase Hatreds Away让“宽恕的风”把仇恨抹去

The story goes that two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped felt hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand: “Today my best friend slapped me in the face.”They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but the friend saved him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone: “Today my best friend saved my life.” The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now you write on a stone. Why?” The other friend replied: “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

两个朋友结伴穿越沙漠,旅途中二人突然吵了起来,其中一个掴了对方一记耳光。被打的人感到自己受了伤害,但什么也没有说,只是在沙地上写下了这样一句话:“今天我最好的朋友掴了我耳光。他们继续前行,看见到处绿洲,他们正打算在那里洗澡时,刚才被打的人不小心陷入了泥潭,开始深陷,他的朋友救了他。

等他从几近淹死的边缘苏醒过来后,他在石头上刻下:“今天我最好的朋友救了我的命。”他的朋友问:“为什么我伤你之后,你在沙子上写字,现在却把字刻在石头上?” 他回答道:“当有人伤害了我们,我们应该把它写进沙里,宽恕的风会把仇恨抹去。而当有人为我们做了好事,我们应当把它刻在石头上,没有风可以将它抹去。”

Learn to Face the Present学会面对现实

To a large, the measure of peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Irrespective of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are always!

Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much so that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. on the flip side, we also postpone our gratification , our stated priorities and our happiness often convincing ourselves that someday will be better than today, unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that someday never actually arrives john lennon once said life is what’s happening while we’re busy making other plans when we are busy making other plans our children are busy growing up the people we love are moving away and dying our bodies are getting out of shape and our dreams are slipping away in short we miss out on life.

Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date it is not in fact no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow now is the only time we have and the only time that we have any control over when our minds fear is the concern over push fear from our minds fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future we won’t have enough money our children will get into trouble we will get old and die whatever.

To combat fear the best strategy is to learn to being your attention back to the present mark twain said I have been through some terrible things in my life some of which actually happened I don’t think I can say it any better practice keeping your attention on the here and now your efforts will pay great dividends.

我们内心是否平和在很大程度上是由我们是否能生活在现实之中所决定的。不管昨天或去年发生了什么,不管明天可能性发生或不发生什么,现实才是你时时刻刻所在之处。
