Today I will be master of my emotions 今天我学会控制情绪 The tides advance, the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes; Summer wanes and the cold increases. The sun rises; the sun sets. The moon is full, the moon is black. The birds arrive, the birds depart. Flowers bloom, flowers fade. Seeds are sown, harvest are reaped. All nature 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, It is one of nature's tricks, little understood, that each day i awaken with moods that have changed from yesterday. Yesterday's joy will become today's sadness; yet today's sadness will grow into tomorrow's joy. Inside me is a wheel, constantly turning from sadness to joy, from exultation to depression, from happiness to melancholy. Like the flowers, today's full bloom of joy will fade and wither into despondency, yet I will remember that as today's dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow's bloom so, too, does today's sadness carry the seed of tomorrow's joy. 这是大自然的玩笑,很少有人窥破天机。每天我醒来时, And how will I master these emotions so that each day will be productive? For unless my mood is right the day will be a failure. Trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish but i make my own weather, yea, I transport it with me. 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。花草树木, And how will i master my emotions so that every day is a happy day, and a productive one? 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. Each day, when i awaken, I will follow this plan of battle before I am captured by the forces of sadness, self-pity and failure. 我怎样才能控制情绪,让每天充满幸福和欢乐? 我要学会这个千古秘诀:弱者任思绪控制行为, If I feel depressed I will sing. If I feel sad I will laugh. If I feel ill I will double my labor. If I feel fear I will plunge ahead. If I feel inferior I will wear new garments. If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice. If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come. If I feel incompetent I will remember past success. If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals. 沮丧时,我引吭高歌。 悲伤时,我开怀大笑。 病痛时,我加倍工作。 恐惧时,我勇往直前。 自卑时,我换上新装。 不安时,我提高嗓音。 穷困潦倒时,我想象未来的富有。 力不从心时,我回想过去的成功。 自轻自贱时,我想想自己的目标。 Henceforth, I will know that only those with inferior ability can always be at their best, and I am not inferior. There will be days when I must constantly struggle against forces which would tear me down. Those such as despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there are others which approach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can also destroy me. Against them, too, I must never relinquish control. 因此,我明白了,只有内心怯懦人才可能才会加倍努力, If I become overconfident I will recall my failures. If I overindulge I will think of past hungers. If I feel complacency I will remember my competition. If I enjoy moments of greatness I will remember moments shame. If I feel all-powerful I will try to stop the wind. If I attain great wealth I will remember one unfed mouth. If I feel my skill is unmatched I will look at the stars. 当我自高自大时,我要回想失败的滋味。 纵情享受时,我要记得挨饿的日子。 洋洋得意时,我要想想竞争的对手。 沾沾自喜时,不要忘记耻辱的那一刻。 自以为是时,想想自己能不能让风停下来。 腰缠万贯时,想想那些食不果腹的人。 骄傲自满时,看看天上的群星(想到有人比我更加耀眼) Henceforth I will recognize and identify the mysteries of moods in all mankind, and in me. From this moment I am prepared to control whatever personality awakes in me each day. I will master my moods through positive action. When I master my moods I will control my destiny. 于是,我从此领悟人类和我情绪变化的奥秘。 I will become master of myself. 我将成为自己的主人!!! I will become great. 我将变得内心强大!!! |
