A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

Acceptance
And acceptance is the answer to all my problems today. ... I can find no serenity until I accept that person, place, thing, or situation as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.
接受是我今天所有问题的答案。除非我接受那个人、那个地方、这件事或某个情境，让它成为此刻应该成为的样子，否则我无法找到平静。
It is arrogance to expect that life will always be music.... Harmony, like a following breeze at sea, is the exception. In a world where most things wind up broken or lost, our lot is to tack and tune.
期望生活永远是音乐是傲慢的。和谐，就像海上的一阵微风，是例外。在这个世界上，大多数事情都以失败告终，我们的命运就是调整方向。
If we can recognize that change and uncertainty are basic principles, we can greet the future and the transformation we are undergoing with the understanding that we do not know enough to be pessimistic.
如果我们能够认识到变化和不确定性是基本原则，我们就能够以我们还不够悲观的理解迎接未来和我们正在经历的变革。
Buddha's doctrine: Man suffers because of his craving to possess and keep forever things which are essentially impermanent... this frustration of the desire to possess is the immediate cause of suffering.
佛陀的教义:人之所以受苦，是因为他渴望拥有和永远拥有本质上是无常的东西……这种对占有欲望的失望是痛苦的直接原因。
Love is when you shed a tear and still want him, it's when he ignores you and you still love him, it's when he loves another girl but you still smile and say I'm happy for you, when all you really do is cry.
爱是当你流了一滴眼泪，仍然想要他;爱是当他无视你，你仍然爱他;爱是他爱上了另一个女孩，你仍然微笑着说我为你高兴;
An oak and a reed were arguing about their strength. When a strong wind came up, the reed avoided being uprooted by bending and leaning with the gusts of wind. But the oak stood firm and was torn up by the roots.
一棵橡树和一根芦苇在争论它们的力量。当刮起大风时，芦苇会被大风吹弯或倾斜，以避免被连根拔起。但橡树挺立得很稳，被连根拔起。
Science says: "We must live," and seeks the means of prolonging, increasing, facilitating and amplifying life, of making it tolerable and acceptable; wisdom says: "We must die," and seeks how to make us die well.
科学说:“我们必须生活，”并寻求延长、增加、促进和扩大生命的方法，使之可以忍受和接受;智慧说:“我们必须死，”并寻求如何使我们死得好。
The unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that. Unknown is what it is. Accept that it's unknown, and it's plain sailing.
未知是什么。害怕它会让每个人四处奔波，追逐梦想、幻想、战争、和平、爱、恨等等。未知是什么。接受它是未知的，它是一帆风顺的。
Nobody has things just as he would like them. The thing to do is to make a success with what material I have. It is a sheer waste of time and soul-power to imagine what I would do if things were different. They are not different.
没有人拥有他想要的东西。我要做的就是用我所有的材料取得成功。想象如果事情不一样，我会怎么做，这纯粹是浪费时间和精神力量。他们没有什么不同。
Africa is a continent in flames. And deep down, if we really accepted that Africans were equal to us, we would all do more to put the fire out. We're standing around with watering cans, when what we really need is the fire brigade.
非洲是一片火海。在内心深处，如果我们真的接受非洲人与我们是平等的，我们就会做得更多来扑灭这场大火。我们拿着饮水机站在那里，而我们真正需要的是消防队。
Boys, this is only a game. But it's like life in that you will be dealt some bad hands. Take each hand, good or bad, and don't whine and complain, but play it out. If you're men enough to do that, God will help and you will come out well.
孩子们，这只是个游戏。但这就像生活中你会遇到一些不好的人。握住每一只手，无论好坏，不要哀鸣和抱怨，而是要坚持到底。如果你有足够的男人去做这件事，上帝会帮助你的，你会走得很好。
Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression. The chasm is never completely bridged. We all have the conviction, perhaps illusory, that we have much more to say than appears on the paper.
每一个创造者都痛苦地经历着他的内在视觉和最终表达之间的鸿沟。鸿沟永远不会完全弥合。我们都有一种信念，或许是一种错觉，那就是我们有许多话要说，而不是出现在报纸上。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
The most powerful relationship you will ever have is the relationship with yourself.
你所拥有的最强大的关系就是与自己的关系。
The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.
当你满足于低于你应得的那一刻，你得到的甚至比你满足于的还要少。
The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.
你能给别人最好的礼物就是无条件的爱和接受。
What cannot be avoided, t'were childish weakness to lament or fear.
不可避免的是，悲伤和恐惧都不是孩子的懦弱。
