給愛子的信(2 )

Life isn’t a Competition

生命不是一場競賽

Life isn’t a competition. It's a journey. If you spend that journey always trying to impress others, to outdo others, you’re wasting your journey. Instead, learn to enjoy the journey. Make it a journey of Happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.

生命并不是一場競賽，而是一段旅程。如果你在途中一直都試圖給他人留下深刻印 象，超過別人，那你就浪費了這段旅程。與之相反，學會享受它，讓之成為快樂之旅、永恒 的學習之旅、持久的進步之旅以及愛之旅。

Find your passion, and pursue it doggedly. Don’t settle for a job that pays the bills. Life is too short to waste on a job you hate.

找到你的激情，堅持不懈地追求它。別讓自己被一個還債的工作所累。生命太短暫了，更不可將之浪費在你所厭惡的工作上。

Love Should Be Your Rule

愛應該成為你的生活準則

If there’s a single word you should live your life by, it should be this： Love. It might sound corny, I know... but trust me, there’s no better rule in life.

如果讓一個詞成為你的生活支撐的話，那它應該是愛。也許這聽起來像是老生常談， 我也清楚……但是請信任我，再沒有更好的生活準則了。

Live your life by the rule of love. Love your spouse, your children, your parents, your friends, with all of your heart. Give to them what they need, and show them not cruelty nor disapproval nor coldness nor disappointment, but only love. Open your soul to them.

用愛支撐你的生命。愛你的妻子、你的孩子、你的父母親、你的朋友，全心全意地去愛。 給予他們他們所需要的，不要流露出任何殘忍、不贊同、冷漠或者失望，而只是愛。向他們敞開靈魂。

Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors... your coworkers... strangers... your brothers and sisters in humanity. Offer anyone you meet a smile, a kind word, a kind gesture, a helping hand.

不僅僅愛你深愛的人，也要愛你的鄰居......你的同事……甚至陌生人......他們是你廣義上的兄弟姐妹。給你遇到的任何一個人一個微笑，一句善語。一個友好的姿勢，一只援助之手。

Love not only neighbors and strangers...but your enemy. The person who is crudest to you, who has been unkind to you... love him. He is a tortured soul, and most in need of your love.

不僅僅愛鄰居和陌生人……也要愛你的敵人。對最殘酷對待你的人，對曾經(jīng)對你不善的人……愛他。他是一個備受折磨的靈魂，最需要你的愛。

And most of all, love yourself. While others may criticize you, learn not to be so hard on yourself, to think that you’re ugly or dumb or unworthy of love... but to think instead that you are a wonderful human being, worthy of happiness and love... and learn to love yourself for who you are.

最重要的是愛你自己。當別人批評你時，學著不要苛責自己，去認為自己丑、笨或者不值得去愛......而要想著自己是一個很完美的人,值得擁有幸福和真愛......并學會愛原本的自己。
