英语散文:Steps To Happiness 通往幸福的阶梯

      

      Everybody Knows:
　　You can’t be all things to all people.
　　You can’t do all things at once.
　　You can’t do all things equally well.
　　You can’t do all things better than everyone else.
　　Your humanity is showing just like everyone else’s.

　　So:
　　You have to find out who you are, and be that.
　　You have to decide what comes first, and do that.
　　You have to discover your strengths, and use them.
　　You have to learn not to compete with others,
　　Because no one else is in the contest of “being you”.

　　Then:
　　You will have learned to accept your own uniqueness.
　　You will have learned to set priorities and make decisions.
　　You will have learned to live with your limitations.
　　You will have learned to give yourself the respect that is due.
　　And you’ll be a most vital mortal.

　　Dare To Believe:
　　That you are a wonderful, unique person.
　　That you are a once-in-all-history event.
　　That it’s more than a right, it’s your duty, to be who you are.
　　That life is not a problem to solve, but a gift to cherish.
　　And you’ll be able to stay one up on what used .to get you down.

　　每个人都知道：
　　你无法为每个人办到每件事。
　　你无法立刻完成所有的事。
　　你无法把所有的事都做的尽善尽美。
　　你无法把每件事都做的比别人好，
　　你只是和其他人一样。

　　所以：
　　你要找到你是谁，做好自己。
　　你要决定什么是要先去做的。
　　你要发现自己的优点，并好好的利用。
　　你要学会不与其他人竞争。
　　因为没有人是你的对手。

　　接下来：
　　你要学着认识到自己的独一无二。
　　你要学习设置优先权并做决策。
　　你要接受生活的局限性。
　　你要学会适当尊重自己。
　　你将成为最重要的。

　　勇敢的相信：
　　你是个完美的，独一无二的人。
　　你创造了百年不遇的历史事件。
　　这是你的责任更胜过于你的权利。
　　生活不是一个需要解决的麻烦，而是一份需要珍惜的礼物。
　　勇敢的生活你将会得到你想拥有的一切。
