As long as we do not become mired in the past , it can teach us much about our current situation.

The past can be a useful detour , but the destination must always be the future.

只要我們不被往昔所囹？，我們可以在回首往事中更清楚我們目前的境況。也許過往只是一段有助於我們成長的迂迴之路，但我們的目的地永遠都是未來。

It is better to give than receive .

But you get back so much more than what you give.

給予勝於索取。但你所收穫的卻是遠遠多於你所給予的。

In fact , people might not always say “thanks.”

But they’ll remember the hand that reaches out.

其實生活中，人們很多時候不會用“謝謝”來表達他們的感激，但他們會記得向他們伸出的那些援助之手。

This is a not perfect world .

Perhaps we can at least help make it less imperfect.

這個世界本身就是不完美的，至少我們的努力也許能讓這些不完美減少一些。

I pray to start over.

No matter what has happen,

I am willing to let today be new.

Thank you for the chance to begin again.

Today I begin a new.

I see through the eyes of innocence.

我祈禱有個新的開始，

無論以前發生了什麼事，

我要讓今天成為新的一天。

我對這重新開始的機會心存感激，

今天，我以全新的面貌起程，

我用純真的眼睛去看這個世界。

很多人總是很難從自己的過去中走出來，這些人或許是無法擺脱以前的痛苦或失敗而失去信心、裹足不前，或許是過於沉湎於以往的成就而沾沾自喜，忘記了成績永遠只是説明過去。其實，人是應該永遠向前看的。記住，在太陽升起的時候，你已不是昨日的你。

Nothing in the past has any power to affect what you do now.

Death is not the greatest loss in life……

The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live!!!

Other things may change us , but we start and end with family.

-----Anthony Brandt

Friendship is unconditional and uncritical , based only on mutual respect and the ability to enjoy each other’s company.

心靈雞湯 從不説他作不到

My son Joey was born with club feet. The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally - but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent in surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk .

The children in our neighborhood ran around as most children do during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never told him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as well as the other children. So he didn't know.

In seventh grade he decided to go out for the cross-country team. Every day he trained with the team. He worked harder and ran more than any of the others - perhaps he sensed that the abilities that seemed to come naturally to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the entire team runs, only the top seven runners have the potential to score points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know.

He continued to run four to five miles a day, every day - even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was worried, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all alone. I asked him how he felt. "Okay," he said. He had two more miles to go. The sweat ran down his face and his eyes were glassy from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and kept running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 103-degree fever. So he didn't know.

Two weeks later, the names of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the list. Joey had made the team. He was in seventh grade - the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't expect to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it. We never told him he couldn't do he didn't know. He just did it.

從不説他做不到

我的兒子瓊尼降生時，他的雙腳向上彎彎着，醫生向我們保證説經過治療，小瓊尼可以像常人一樣走路，但像常人一樣跑步的可能性則微乎其微。瓊尼3歲之前一直在接受治療，和支架、石膏模子打交道。七八歲的時候，他走路的樣子已讓人看不出他的腿有過毛病。

鄰居的小孩子們做遊戲的時候總是跑過來跑過去。毫無疑問小瓊尼看到他們玩就會馬上加進去跑啊鬧的。我們從不告訴他不能像別的孩子那樣跑，我們從不説他和別的孩子不一樣。因為我們不對他説，所以他不知道。

七年級的時候，瓊尼決定參加跑步橫穿全美的比賽。每天他和大夥一塊訓練。也許是意識到自己先天不如別人，他訓練得比任何人都刻苦。訓練隊的前7名選手可以參加最後比賽，為學校拿分。我們沒有告訴瓊尼；也許會落空，所以他不知道。

他堅持每天跑4~5英里。我永遠不會忘記有一次，他發着高燒，但仍堅持訓練。我為他擔心，於是去學校看他，發現他正在一個人沿着長長的林蔭道跑步呢。我問他感覺怎麼樣，"很好。"他説。還剩下最後兩英里。他滿臉是汗，眼睛因為發燒失去了光彩。然而他目不斜視，堅持着跑下來。我們從沒有告訴他不能發着高燒去跑4英里的路，我們從沒有這樣對他説，所以他不知道。

兩個星期後，在決賽前的3天，長跑隊的名次被確定下來。瓊尼是第六名，他成功了。他才是個七年級生，而其餘的人都是八年級生。我們從沒有告訴他不要去期望入選，我們從沒有對他説他不會成功。是的，從沒説起過……所以他不知道，但他卻做到了！！

Eat Less, Live Longer

Scientists have known for some time that laboratory mice on a low calorie diet live longer than mice that eat as much as they want. Now a researcher from Washington University in St Louis, Missouri, says a low calorie diet might be key to slowing aging in people, too.

In a new study, Dr John Holloszy compared three groups of people: those who ate fewer calories than in the typical western diet; regular eaters who also did strenuous exercise; and another group of regular eaters who didn't exercise.

He found those who were on a calorie-restricted diet had less of the thyroid hormone T-3, which regulates their metabolism. "This is not an abnormal decrease," he says, "and it's just a decline into the lower end of normal."

In effect, metabolic hormones regulate the rate at which cells function. Scientists think this might be related to how fast we age. "So if you have high thyroid hormone levels," Holloszy explains, "you use a lot of oxygen, you have a fast heart rate and you need large amounts of food in order to maintain weight. If you have low thyroid hormone levels, your metabolic rate is slowed." He says studies on rodents have shown that skinny, long-lived laboratory mice had low thyroid hormone levels.

Another group in his study ate what they wanted but exercised intensively. The exercise didn't seem to affect their thyroid hormone levels, which remained high. Holloszy says they are continuing research to see if eating less can slow aging in people as well as mice.

"Determining whether humans on caloric restriction live longer is not something we're going to find out, at least not in my lifetime," he says with a laugh. "You know, that's a 50 year study."

天將降大任於是人也

天將降大任於斯人也，必先苦其心志，勞其筋骨，餓其體膚，空乏其身，行拂亂其所為，所以動心忍性，增益其所不能。

When Heaven is about to place a great responsibility on a great man, it always first frustrates his spirit and will, exhausts his muscles and bones, exposes him to starvation and poverty, harasses him by troubles and setbacks so as to stimulate his spirit, toughen his nature and enhance his abilities.

天生我才必有用。

Heaven has endowed me with talents for eventual use.

天時不如地利，地利不如人和。

Opportunities vouchsafed by Heaven are less important than terrestrial advantages, which in turn are less important than the unity among people.

天行健，君子以自強不息。

As Heaven’s movement is ever vigorous, so must a gentleman ceaselessly strive along.

温故而知新，可以為師矣。

He who by reviewing the old can gain knowledge of the new and is fit to be a teacher.

物格而後知至，知至而後意誠，意誠而後心正，心正而後身修，身修而後家齊，家齊而後治國，國治而後天下平。

Things investigated, genuine knowledge acquired; genuine knowledge acquired ,thoughts purified; thoughts purified, hearts rectified; hearts rectified, personalities cultivated; personalities cultivated, families regulated; families regulated, the states well governed; the states well governed, the whole world will be in peace and tranquil.
