Everything happens for a reason
Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become.
任何事的发生都是有原因的
没有事情是偶然出现或运气使然。 疾病、伤痛、爱情、与成功失之交臂，以及彻彻底底的糊涂犯错，这些都是你对精神极限的考验。无论这些小小的考验是什么，没有了它们，生命就像是一条不知通往何处的平坦大道，纵然安全舒适，但却了然无趣、毫无意义。 你所遇到的影响你生命的人，你所经历的成功与失败，都有助于塑造和成就你的人生。
Even the bad experiences can be learned from
In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
即使是不好的经历，也能从中吸取经验
事实上，这些经验可能是最深刻和最重要的。 如果有人伤害了你，背叛了你，或伤了你的心，原谅他们吧，因为他们帮助你理解了信任，让你懂得了在敞开心扉时保持精神是很重要的。 如果有人爱你，你要无条件地爱他们，不仅因为他们爱你，还因为他们教会了你去爱，以及如何敞开你的心扉、放开你的目光。
Make every day count
Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen.
Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great inpidual and believe in yourself, for if you dont believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
让每一天都过的有价值
珍惜生命中的每一刻，并尽你所能地从中取得收获，因为你不会有从头再来的可能。 跟那些你从来没有说过话的人交谈，并注意聆听。
让自己去爱，挣脱束缚，让目光高远。 要昂起头，因为你有权利这么做。 告诉自己，你是一个伟大的人，并相信自己，因为如果你不相信自己，别人就很难相信你。 你可以做任何想做的事来塑造你的人生。 创造你自己的人生，并无怨无悔地去过这一生吧。
The power of love
Jackie Lantry is a part-time hospital clerk in Rehoboth, Mass. She and her husband have adopted two girls and two boys from China. When Jackie asked her children what they believed in, they said "family." "It was not the rapy, counselors or medications. It did not cost money, require connections or great privilege. It was love: just simple, plain, easy to give."
爱的力量
Jackie Lantry是美国麻省利河伯镇的一位医院兼职会计。她和她的丈夫已经收养了两名中国男孩和两名中国女孩。当Jackie问及孩子们的信念时，孩子们异口同声地回答：“家庭”。“治愈和转变孩子，靠的不是医疗，也不是心理咨询，更不是药物。它并不需要花费金钱，也不需要什么社会关系或者特权。只需要爱， 只需要付出简单而平实的爱”Jackie如是说。
Smile
Dont go for looks；they can deceive. Dont go for wealth；even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
微笑
别倾心于容貌，因为它具有欺骗性，也别倾心于财富，它也会消散，倾心于那个能带给你笑容的人吧，因为一个笑容能使漫漫长夜如白昼般明亮。
