Never Give Up Hope
永不放弃希望
永不放弃希望,英语口语,2分钟
Life doesn't always give us the joys we want. Wedon't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don'talways get our own way. But don't give up hope,because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.
生活并非总是如你所愿。希望有时会落空，梦想有时会破灭，我们不能一切随心所愿。但别放弃希望，因为事物并非一成不变;不同时间，不同场合，你会呈现不同的面貌。
Look for the beauty around you--in nature, in others, in yourself--and believe in the love offriends, family, and humankind. You can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtfulgesture or a kind word. It is all around, if you just look for it.
处处留心你身边的美丽：自然中的美，他人的美，你自己的美。请相信，美来自朋友、家庭乃至全人类的融融爱意。一个微笑，一双援助之手，一个关心的举止，一句友善的话语，无不传达着爱。如果你有心去寻找，爱无所不在。
Give love, for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy, happiness, patienceand understanding. Believe in the goodness of others and remember that anger anddepression can be countered by love and hope.
奉献爱心吧，从中你会发现生活的力量，感受生活带来的幸福快乐，学会忍耐和理解。相信人性本善。记住，爱心和希望能化解一切愤怒和沮丧。
Even when you feel as though there isn't a lot you can do to change unhappiness or problems,you can always do a little--and a little at a time eventually makes a big difference.
哪怕生活中挥之不去的不快和困难将你重重包围，让你力不从心，但你仍可以尽力而为。累积点滴努力，最终你将扭转乾坤。

Releasing the Past
往事如烟
往事如烟,英语口语,3分钟
Do you condemn yourself for things which you did--or failed to do--in the past? Everyone does this atsome point. However, if you want to lead a successfuland productive life, it is imperative that yourelease the past and not blame yourself for events which have already transpired and whichcannot be changed.
你是否为你曾经做过的事，或失败的事而对自己耿耿于怀?每个人都会在某种程度上有过这种经历。然而，如果你想要一种成功而积极的生活，学会释怀过去，不要为已经发生且无法改变的过去而责备自己，这一点是非常必要的。
The successful person takes this approach: Learn from past mistakes and make adjustments infuture behavior. The strategy of berating yourself for past conduct solves nothing and onlyserves to lower your self-esteem. You create a vicious cycle where negative experiences andnegative feelings are reinforced, which leads to more negative outcomes and more negativefeelings.
大凡成功的人都会采取这种作法：从过去的错误中吸取经验教训，并为将来的行为作适当的调整。为过去的行为而责备自己的这种方式并不能解决任何问题，只能挫败你的自尊心。你因此而制造了一个恶性循环，消积的经历和感受并再次被强化，同时导致了更多的恶性结果和消积的情感。
If you insist on dwelling in the past, I suggest that you focus on your past successes.Visualizing and thinking about past successes is an excellent way to build confidence and self-esteem. What you think about is what you become. Therefore, when you concentrate on yoursuccesses, you help to create future successes.
如果你坚持沉湎于过去，我建议你多想想你过去的成功。回忆过去的成功是重建信心和自尊的很好方式。你所想象的也就是你会最终成为的。因此，当你集中精力思考成功时，你也正在创造将来的成功。
When you find yourself starting to dwell on past negative experiences, immediately halt andremind yourself: "There is nothing I can do now which will change what happened. I learned avaluable lesson and will act in a more constructive manner next time." Regardless of whatyou have done--or failed to do--the only sane approach is to accept it and move forward.
当你发现自己开始沉湎于过去的消积经历时，立即停止，并提醒自己：“我现在这么做并不能改变已经发生了的过去。我从过去中收获了宝贵的经验，并将会以更积极地态度去面对人生。”不管你曾做过什么，有过何失败，唯一理智的方式是接受你的过去，并积极前进。

Love What You Do, Do What You Love
爱你所做，做你所爱
爱你所做，做你所爱,英语口语,4分钟
If not, why? I am guessing most people will answerthat question with "I have a mortgage, a spouseand three kids to support." In the real world people have responsibilities. They have to makesacrifices. You aren't supposed to be happy with your job but you do it because you have to."
如果不是，为什么?我猜想大部分都会以“我要付房子的按揭贷款，还有爱人和三个孩子要养”之类的回答来搪塞这个问题。的确，在现实生活中，我们有自己的家庭责任，我们不得不做些牺牲，我们做着一些自己并不热爱的工作只因我们必需这样去做。
With all due respect, they are wrong. You can take care of your responsibilities and be happywith your job. We spend over 1/3 of our day, at least five days a week performing our jobs. Thisis a lot of time to be wasting on something we don't enjoy, is it not? Why not spend that timedoing something you truly are passionate about for 50 hours a week instead of something thatlacks meaning?
恕我直言，这一切并非正确。你可以兼顾你的责任，同时热爱你的工作。我们一天中要花去1/3的时间，至少一个星期5天去工作。如果不热爱这份工作，这确实是一笔很大的时间浪费，不是吗?为什么不能用这宝贵的时间，一星期50个小时去从做你真正激情洋溢的事情呢，而不是对你来说缺少意义的工作。
I think there is one main reason people don't follow their passion: fear. Fear of how others willreact, fear of failure, and fear that they can't do it themselves. I think the first part is forpeople to realize that they can conquer their fear. You will fail at times and others will thinkyou are crazy at times, but if you believe that you will succeed than you ultimately will.
我认为有些人之所以不去追求他们的梦想是有一个主要的原因：恐惧。惧怕他人的指指点点，惧怕失败，惧怕没有能力完成他们的梦想。我认为第一步人们应该去战胜恐惧。有时我们会失败，有时别人也会觉得你有些疯狂，但只要你坚信你能够成功，那么你最终必将成功。
I understand that it is not easy. I am in the middle of going through it right now. Butunderstand that there are other people out there who have been through what you are goingthrough and can help you immensely. They have failed, been ridiculed, and come out on theother end extremely successful. They are living proof that you can do what you love.
我理解这做起来并不容易。其实，我也正在克服追求我的梦想过程中的恐惧。但我们相信有些人已经从这个恐惧中坚强地走了出来，并愿意帮助我们。他们曾经失败过，被嘲笑过，但他们走向了胜利的彼岸。这些人的故事正是“你能做你所爱”的真实而有力的证据。

全心全意爱自己,英语口语,4分钟
It's not easy... loving yourself unconditionally, because we've learned to judge ourselves...
全心全意爱自己，这并不容易，因为我们对自己总是很挑剔。
We seem to be driven to find what we perceive as "the missing piece" in our lives as if we areflawed, or not good enough. Somehow enough never seems like enough and we live our lives ina constant and never ending search which leaves us exhausted.
我们就像被驱使着要去寻找我们生活中“缺失的那部分”，似乎我们总有一些缺陷，或者总是做得不够好。然而，足够永远不会真正地足够，我们一直在不停地索取苛求，于是令我们自己身心疲惫不堪。
What we forget are the sweet moments of being present with ourselves like we are whenwatching a sunset.
我们忘却了那些当我们与心灵交汇时的美好时光，比如说当我们观望着日落时的那份美丽和宁静。

沉静在现在这个时刻，让自己停止索求更多，只是关注于你内心的丰富。
