雙語(yǔ)：12句引人深思的哲理名言

1. Happiness and Personal Growth幸福和個(gè)人成長(zhǎng)

“You cannot protect yourself from sadness without protecting yourself from happiness。”―Jonathan Safran Foer

翻譯：“穩(wěn)不住幸福，亦躲不過(guò)悲傷。” —— 喬納森·薩弗蘭·福爾

Live every day of your life in full. Experience the highs and the lows, the positives and the negatives, and all the moods present between the various extremes. Don’t focus on simply being happy. Focus on living a well-rounded, seasoned life. Focus on achieving completeness. Yes, happiness is part of this completeness, but so is sadness, difficulty, frustration, and failure. And overcoming these latter points supports your personal growth far more than constant happiness。

翻譯：盡情過(guò)好生命中的每一天，經(jīng)歷大起大落、喜樂(lè)悲哀，讓情緒自然流露。不要一味追求幸福，而應(yīng)過(guò)完滿多樣的生活。快樂(lè)只是“完滿”的一部分，除此之外還有悲傷、困頓、沮喪和失��；戰(zhàn)勝后面那些遠(yuǎn)比一直快樂(lè)讓你成長(zhǎng)得快。

The feelings of happiness and fulfillment are nice when they happen, and they are needed, but they don’t strengthen you. Instead of asking, “Is this making me happy?” ask, “Is this contributing to my completeness?” If you’re struggling and making progress, the answer is “yes。”

翻譯：幸福與圓滿只在發(fā)生時(shí)、被需要時(shí)顯得美好，但卻不一定能磨礪你。與其問(wèn)“這讓我開(kāi)心嗎”，不如問(wèn)“這對(duì)我的‘圓滿’有幫助嗎”。如果你正飽受磨難、有所進(jìn)步，那答案就是正面的。

2. Inner Peace內(nèi)心平和

“We don’t realize that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace。”―Elizabeth Gilbert

翻譯：“或許我們自己都不曾察覺(jué)，我們內(nèi)心一直有個(gè)恒定平和的自我。” —— 伊麗莎白·吉爾伯特

Inner peace does not depend on external conditions; it’s what remains when you’ve surrendered your ego and your worries. Peace can happen within you at any place and at any time. It’s always there, patiently waiting for you to turn your attention toward it。

翻譯：內(nèi)心平和與外界無(wú)關(guān)，只要你放下自我和憂慮即可。平和可以隨時(shí)隨地降臨，它一直守候在那里，耐心等你回歸。

Peace of mind arrives the moment you come to peace with what’s on your mind. It happens when you let go of the need to be anywhere but where you are, physically and emotionally. This acceptance of the way things are creates the foundation for inner harmony. The need for something to be different in this moment is nothing more than a worry, and worries simply lead you in circles. Acceptance will bring you back to your peaceful, productive center。

翻譯：只要與自己和睦相處，對(duì)目前的一切感到身心滿足，平和的心緒就會(huì)降臨。坦然包容一切，讓內(nèi)心充滿祥和。若心有欲望，只能徒增煩惱，繼而惡性循環(huán)。包容使人平靜，使人積極。

Remember, the same part of you that longs for peace is the part of you that experiences peace. It is not complicated to achieve and is as close as your next thought。

翻譯：渴望平和即體驗(yàn)平和，只要你想，它就在下一秒。

3. Appreciating What You Have珍惜擁有

“Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for。”―Epicurus

翻譯：“不要因渴望得不到的而錯(cuò)過(guò)已經(jīng)擁有的；要知道，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)擁有的，也曾是你渴望的。” —— 伊壁鳩魯

Don’t pray for the big things and forget to give thanks for the ordinary, simple, and yet not-so-small gifts in your life. It may seem strange to feel thankful for those events in your life which appear to be ordinary, yet it’s precisely by being thankful that you can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. You may not see the value in spending time and effort acknowledging all the little, seemingly insignificant things in your life, yet without the little things there would be no big things。

翻譯：不要一味祈求大愿望而忽視生活中已經(jīng)擁有的那些平凡瑣碎的恩賜。對(duì)平凡的事心懷感恩？似乎很奇怪吧？可一旦你心懷感恩，再平凡的事也會(huì)變得不平凡�；蛟S你還沒(méi)看到這些微不足道的瑣事的價(jià)值，但倘若沒(méi)有這些小事，又怎能成就大業(yè)呢？

Don’t let what was once a miracle become common to you. Don’t get so accustomed to life’s goodness that you overlook it. Let your enthusiasm rise from the doldrums by being thankful for what you have. Seize every opportunity to be appreciative. Make genuine gratitude a constant companion to who you are, in all that you do。

翻譯：別讓曾經(jīng)的輝煌沾上塵埃，別對(duì)生活中的一切理所當(dāng)然、忽視看輕。感謝已經(jīng)擁有的一切，趕走低迷、重聚熱情吧！不要錯(cuò)過(guò)任何一次感恩的機(jī)會(huì)，誠(chéng)心感謝自己與一切。

4. Replacing Excuses with Action用行動(dòng)代替借口

Instead of making a lot of excuses, make a little progress. Instead of looking back with regret, step forward with enthusiasm. Choose to view your life based on the best of what is possible. Choose to define yourself based on the person you know you are capable of becoming. If you believe it, you can do it。

翻譯：與其找一堆借口，不如一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)進(jìn)步；與其懷舊悔恨，不如積極向前。想象能夠爭(zhēng)取到的最好的生活，想象能夠努力成為的最好的自己。只要相信，你就能做到！

All the negativity from the past can be erased in the moment with a single positive action. Go ahead and make it happen. The best way to disconnect from a troubled past is to trust and connect with possibilities of the present moment. When you embrace the power of now, the future belongs to you.

翻譯：所有過(guò)去的消極想法都能在當(dāng)下的積極行動(dòng)中煙消云散，所以，趕緊行動(dòng)吧！忘記不堪過(guò)去的最好辦法就是相信并把握當(dāng)下的機(jī)遇。一旦把握住當(dāng)下，未來(lái)也將屬于你！
