　　【壓力就像一杯水，拿得越久，它就越重】

Once upon a time a psychology professor walked around on a stage while teaching stress management principles to an auditorium filled with students.

曾經，有一位心理學教授在講台上來回走着，向滿席的學生傳授壓力管理原則。

As she raised a glass of water, with a smile on her face, the professor asked, “How heavy is this glass of water I’m holding?”

當她舉起一杯水，笑着問：“我舉着的這杯水有多重?”

Students shouted out answers ranging from eight ounces to a couple pounds.

從八盎司到幾磅，學生們大聲地喊出答案。

She replied, “From my perspective, the absolute weight of this glass doesn’t matter. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it feels to me.”

她回答道：“在我看來，這杯水的絕對重量不重要。在各種情況裏，這杯水的重量都沒變，但是我舉得越久，我就覺得越重。”

As the class shook their heads in agreement, she continued, “Your stresses and worries in life are very much like this glass of water.”

當全班晃頭表示同意時，她繼續説道：“你們在生活中的壓力和擔憂就非常像這杯水。”

It’s important to remember to let go of your stresses and worries. No matter what happens during the day, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down.

記得放開你的壓力和擔憂是非常重要的。不管那天發生了什麼，到了傍晚，你應該儘快放下你所有的重擔。

如果你仍能感覺到昨天壓力的重量，這是一記重要的指示，告訴你是時候把杯子放下了。

　　【人生如此精彩，永不輕言放棄】

Not until you realize that life itself is a beautiful thing will you really start to live. Although living combines tragedy with splendor, life is beautiful and even tragedies reflect something engaging. If you were simply to live, do more than that; live beautifully.

只有在你瞭解了人生的真諦後，才能真正地生活。雖然人生苦憂參半，但依舊美妙，而且即使在悲劇中也藏着迷人之處。如果你只是活着，那就再努力點吧，試着活得精彩。

Through the sea of darkness, hope is the light that brings us comfort, faith, and reassurance. It guides our way if we are lost and gives us a foothold on our fears. The moment we lose hope is the moment we surrender our will to live. We live in a world that is disintegrating into a vicious hatred, where hope is needed more than ever but cannot be discerned. Finding that is rare while the world lives in fear, but the belief in something better, something bigger than this, is what keeps life worth living.

在潮水般的黑暗之中，希望是光。它帶來舒適、信仰和信心。它在我們迷失時給予指引，在我們恐懼時給予支持。而在我們放棄希望的那一刻，也就放棄了生命。我們生活的世界正瓦解成一個充滿惡意和仇恨的地方，在這裏我們就更需要希望，卻又難以尋得。在這充滿恐懼的世界裏，找到希望談何容易，但是，對更好、更有意義的'人生的信仰才會讓生命有意義。

Then you hear a baby speaking her first word, you see seniors holding hands, you feel the first spring rain, or smell the pine tree at Christmas, and remember that no matter how awful it is, there is always hope. No matter how weak we are, we will always survive.

然後，你聽到嬰兒説出第一個字、看到老年夫婦挽起對方的手、感受到第一場春雨或是聞到聖誕節松樹的味道，你要明白，無論現在多麼糟糕，希望永在;無論我們多麼脆弱，我們終將是人生的倖存者。

　　【你要成為自己的那道光】

Have you ever been around someone who immediately put you at ease? Perhaps you may be one of those people who others feel safe around.

有沒有遇到過那麼個人，只要他/她在你身邊，你立即就覺得安心?或許你就是讓別人覺得安心的那麼一個人。

What is the common thread in people who emanate warmth? Some may think it is related to personality or physical appearance. But this does little to explain why bright beacons of light can be found anywhere. Essence has nothing to do with our exterior.

那些氣場中自帶温暖的人有哪些共性呢?一些人也許認為這與性格或外貌有關。但這基本解釋不了為什麼明亮的燈塔之光四處可見。本質與我們的外在無關。

I like to believe the common thread is a universal trait we are all able to tap into. When we see the truth of who we are and wholeheartedly love every part of that truth, we automatically shine. When we embrace our essence and live in congruence with who we are, we radiate peace.
