A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

担心

Worry

Worry never climbed a hill, worry never paid a bill, Worry never dried a tear, worry never calmed a fear, Worry never darned a heel, worry never cooked a meal, It never led a horse to water, nor ever did a thing it "oughter."

忧虑从来没有爬山,忧虑从来没有付账,忧虑从来没有擦干一滴眼泪,忧虑从来没有平息过恐惧,忧虑从来没有补上一只脚,忧虑从来没有做过一顿饭,忧虑从来没有把马带到河边,也从来没有做过一件“应该”做的事。

I'm happiest at home hanging out with the kids... Having a family has been my saving grace because I don't work back to back on anything or I'd drive myself to an early grave with guilt and worry for my family, whom I'd never see.

我最开心的时候是在家和孩子们一起玩……拥有一个家庭一直是我的可取之处,因为我不会在任何事情上反反复复地工作,也不会带着罪恶感和对我永远见不到的家人的担忧早早地进入坟墓。

Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can-and surely will at times-fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk.

接受这样一个事实:我们所有人都可能受到伤害,我们所有人都可能——而且肯定会——失败。其他的弱点,比如尴尬或冒着爱的风险,也可能是可怕的。我认为我们应该遵循一个简单的规则:如果我们能做最坏的打算,那就冒险吧。

When you worry, you go over the same ground endlessly and come out the same place you started. Thinking, on the other hand, makes progress from one place to another. ... The problem of life is to change worry into thinking, and anxiety into creative action.

当你担心的时候,你会无休止地走同样的路,然后回到你开始的地方。另一方面,思考使人从一个地方进步到另一个地方。生活的问题是把忧虑变成思考,把焦虑变成创造。

This is a very important practice. Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away from yourself and you lose yourself. The practice is always to go back to oneself.

这是一个非常重要的实践。以一种永不迷失自我的方式过好你的日常生活。当你被忧虑、恐惧、渴望、愤怒和欲望冲昏头脑时,你就会逃离自己,失去自我。修行总是要回到自己身上。
