Chicken Soup For The Soul 生活格言


生活是一面镜子。你对它笑,它就对你笑;你对它哭,它也对你哭。
Life is a mirror, you smile at it, it smiles at you too; You cry at it, it also cries at you.

只要路是对的,就不怕路远。
As long as the road direction is right, then, it doesn't matter how far the destination will be.

生气是拿别人做错的事来惩罚自己。
Being angry is to punish yourself by other people's mistakes.

一个人的快乐,不是因为他拥有的多,而是因为他计较的少。
Someone's happiness is not because he owns more but because he calculates less.

微小的幸福就在身边,容易满足就是天堂。
Tiny happiness is around, heaven is wherever you satisfy easily.

无所求则无所获。
No dream no achievement.

两粒种子,一片森林。
Two seeds, one forest.

弱者以泪洗面,强者因泪振作。
The weak wash their face with tears, the strong strive up because of tears.

用愛心來做事,用感恩的心做人。
Being a person who works with love, behaves with gratitude.

看山心静,看海心宽,看天心高。
Watching the mountain could calm yourself, watching the sea could have a big heart, watching the sky could make you looking for a higher goal.

The Ancient Chinese Philosophy 2:Self-Cultivation 修身养性

吾十有五,而志于学。三十而立。四十而不惑。五十而知天命。六十而耳顺。七十而从心所欲,不逾矩。------《论语·为政》孔丘(約前551年-約前479年)

At age 15, studying hard;
At age 30, standing on my feet, achieved my goal; 
At age 40, no confusion;
At age 50, accepting my fate;
At age 60, knowing the true meaning that other people's say;
At age 70, following my hard and relaxing within the rule. 
----Lunyun. Politics, by Kong Qiu ( B.C. 551-B.C. 479)
