生活的故事
荷叶/译
有时一些人进入你的生活，你立刻就知道他们对你意味着什么，带着某种目的而来，或是给你一个教训，或是帮你弄懂你是谁或你将成为谁。你很难判断这些人是谁，可能是你的室友，邻居，同事，失去很久的朋友，恋人，甚至是一个完全陌生的人。但当你的目光锁定在他们身上时，你会立刻知道他们将会对你的生活产生深远的影响。
有时最初你会觉得一些事情的发生看上去很可怕，很痛苦，很不公平。但经过反思你会发现：不克服这些障碍，你永远也不会认识到自己的潜力，力量，意志力和自己的心意。
万事皆有因。没有什么事的发生是偶然或出于好运。疾病，伤害，爱情，逝去的真正伟大的时刻以及彻头彻尾的愚蠢行为，所有这一切的发生，都是为了检验你灵魂的界限。没有这些小的检验，无论你的职业是什么，你的生活都将是一条铺得光滑平坦的笔直大道，却不知通向何处。生活会安全舒适，但单调乏味，漫无目标。你所遇到影响你生活的那些人，你所经历的那些成功和失败，都帮着塑造你是谁和你将成为谁。
哪怕最糟糕的经历，也可从中汲取点什么。事实上，它们可能是最惨痛最重要的经历。如果有人伤害了你，出卖了你，撕碎了你的心，原谅他们，因为他们帮你学会了什么是信任以及当你敞开心扉时要格外小心的重要性。如果有人爱你，要无条件地回应他们，这不仅是因为他们爱你，还因为从某种程度上他们教会了你去爱，教会了你如何对一切敞开心扉，睁开眼睛。
使每一天都重要。重视每一片刻，尽可能地从每一片刻中索取最多东西，因为你不可能经历第二次。去和那些你从没交谈过的人谈话，并且真正地倾听。让自己恋爱，挣脱一切，使自己的眼界高远。昂起头来，因为你完全有理由这样。告诉自己你是个了不起的人，并且相信自己，因为如果自己不相信自己，就很难让别人相信自己。创造自己的生活，然后走出去，毫无遗憾地度过一生。
最重要的是，如果你爱上一个人，让他/她知道，因为谁都不知道明天会发生什么。从度过的每一天中汲取经验教训。
这就是生活的故事。

The story of life
Sometimes peoplecome into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there,to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure outwho you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people maybe(possibly your roommate, neighbor, coworker, long lost friend, lover, or even acomplete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that verymoment they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimesthings happen to you that may seem horrible, painful. and unfair at first, butin reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would havenever realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Everything happensfor 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 totest 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 wouldbe safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meetwho affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help tocreate who you are and who you become.
Even the badexperiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignantand 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 ofbeing cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them backunconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they areteaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
Make every daycount. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that youpossibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to peoplethat you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall inlove, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you haveevery right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe inyourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others tobelieve in you. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your ownlife and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
Most importantly,if you LOVE someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may havein store. And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.
That's the story of life.
