A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
习惯
Habit
A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested; on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention.
像孩子一样的男人不是发育受阻的人;相反，他给了自己一个继续发展的机会，即使大多数成年人早已将自己包裹在中年习惯和习俗的茧中。
A thoroughly good relationship with ourselves results in being still, which doesn't mean we don't run and jump and dance about. It means there's no compulsiveness. We don't overwork, overeat, oversmoke, overseduce. In short, we begin to stop causing harm.
与自己保持良好的关系会让我们保持静止，但这并不意味着我们不会到处跑、跳、跳。这意味着没有强迫性。我们不会过度工作，过度饮食，过度吸烟，过度诱惑。简而言之，我们开始停止制造伤害。
No habit or quality is more easily acquired than hypocrisy, nor any thing sooner learned than to deny the sentiments of our hearts and the principle we act from: but the seeds of every passion are innate to us, and nobody comes into the world without them.
没有一种习惯或品质比虚伪更容易获得，也没有一种东西比否认我们内心的情感和行为准则更容易学会。但是，每一种激情的种子都是与生俱来的，没有人不带着它们来到这个世界。
A tail behind, a trunk in front, Complete the usual elephant. The tail in front, the trunk behind, Is what you very seldom find. If you for specimens should hunt With trunks behind and tails in front, That hunt would occupy you long The force of habit is so strong.
尾巴在后面，树干在前面， 完成通常的大象。 尾巴在前面，树干在后， 是你很少能找到的。 如果你是为了标本而打猎的话 树干在后面，尾巴在前面， 那狩猎会占用你很长时间 习惯的力量是如此强大。
Many politicians are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident proposition that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
许多政治家习惯于把它作为一个不言自明的命题，即在人们能够充分利用他们的自由之前，没有人应该是自由的。这句格言就像古老故事里的傻瓜，他决定在学会游泳之前不下水。
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。
When you do the wrong thing, knowing it is wrong, you do so because you haven't developed the habit of effectively controlling or neutralizing strong inner urges that tempt you, or because you have established the wrong habit and don't know how to eliminate them effectively.
当你做了错误的事情，你知道它是错误的，你这样做是因为你没有养成有效控制或中和诱惑你的强烈内心冲动的习惯，或者是因为你已经养成了错误的习惯，不知道如何有效地消除它们。
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.
养成告诉别人谢谢你的习惯。真诚地表达你的感激之情，不求任何回报。真正感激身边的人，你很快就会发现身边还有很多人。真正珍惜生活，你会发现你拥有的更多。
You need to put what you learn into practice and do it over and over again until it's a habit. I always say, 'Seeing is not believing. Doing is believing.' There is a lot to learn about fitness, nutrition and emotions, but once you do, you can master them instead of them mastering you.
你需要把你学到的东西付诸实践，一遍又一遍地重复，直到它成为一种习惯。我常说，眼见为实。做的是相信。“关于健康、营养和情绪还有很多需要学习，但一旦你学会了，你就能掌握它们，而不是被它们控制。”
My habit would have been to veer towards the dark - to prove I was something; edgy, or maybe to prove that I was cognisant of the dark side. Now, with age and confidence, I can say, yeah, that's true, but I am cognisant of the fact that people can do things well. And can be more loving than you expect.
我的习惯是转向黑暗——以证明我是个了不起的人;也许是为了证明我知道黑暗的一面。现在，随着年龄的增长和自信，我可以说，是的，这是真的，但我知道人们可以把事情做好。比你想象的更有爱心。
