善待机会

The air we breathe is so freely available (adj. 可以得到的) that we take it for granted. Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes. For the most part, the same air is available to everyone, and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain (v. 维持，持续) them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves. Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent (adj. 壮丽的) life for themselves.

Opportunity is the same way. It is everywhere. Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success. Opportunity must be seized and actedupon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in on the ground floor(n. 有利的地位，投机的初期)" of opportunity, as if the opportunity will do all the work. That's impossible.

Just as you need air to breathe, you need opportunity to succeed. It takes more than just breathing in the fresh air of opportunity, however. You must make use of that opportunity. That's not up to the opportunity. That's up to you. It doesn't matter what "floor" the opportunity is on. What matters is what you do with it. 我要谨记的事情

Everybody doesn't have to love me. 无须人人都爱我

Not everyone has to love me or even like me. I don't necessarily like everybody I know, so why should everybody else like me? I enjoy being liked and being loved, but if somebody doesn't like me, I will still be okay and still feel like I am an okay person. I cannot make somebody like me anymore than someone can get me to like them. I don't need approval all the time. If someone does not approve of1) me, I will still be okay.

It is okay to make mistakes. 犯错误没什么大不了的

Making mistakes is something we all do, and I am still a fine and worthwhile person when I make them. There is no reason for me to get upset when I make a mistake. I am trying, and if I make a mistake, I am going to continue trying. I can handle making a mistake. It is okay for others to make a mistake, too. I will accept my mistakes and also the mistakes that others make.

Other people are okay and I am okay. 互相尊重

People who do things that I don't like are not necessarily bad people. They should not necessarily be punished just because I don't like what they do or did. There is no reason why other people should bethe way I want them to be, and there is no reason why I should be the way somebody else wants me to be. People will be whatever they want to be, and I will be whatever I want to be. I cannot control other people or change them. They are who they are; we all deserve basic respect. I don't have to control things. 我无须控制一切

I will survive if things are different than what I want them to be. I can accept things the way they are, accept people the way they are, and accept myself the way I am. There is no reason to get upset if I can't change things to fit my idea of how they ought to be. There is no reason why I should have to like everything. Even if I don't


like it, I can live with it.

I am responsible for my day. 我对自己的一生负责

I am responsible for how I feel and what I do. Nobody can make me feel anything. If I have a rotten2) day, I am the one who allowed it to be that way. If I have a great day, I am the one who deserves credit for being positive. It is not the responsibility of other people to change so that I can feel better. I am the one who is in charge of my life.

I can handle it when things go wrong. 出问题时我能应付

I don't need to watch out for things to go wrong. They usually go just fine, and when they don't, I can handle it. I don't have to waste energy worrying. The sky won't fall; things will be okay.

It is important to try. 试一试很重要

I can. Even though I may be faced with difficult tasks, it is better to try than to avoid them. Avoiding a task does not give me any opportunities for success or joy, but trying does. Things worth having are worth the effort. I might not be able to do everything. But I can do something. I am capable. 我能做到。

I don't need someone else to take care of my problems. I am capable.

I can take care of myself. I can make decisions for myself. I can think for myself. I don't have to depend on somebody else to take care of me. I can change. 我可以改变

I don't have to be a certain way because of what has happened in the past. Every day is a new day. It's silly to think I can't help being the way I am. Of course I can. I can change.

I can be flexible. 我能随机应变

There is more than one way to do something. More than one person has had good ideas that will work. There is no one and only "best" way. Everybody has ideas that are worthwhile. Some may make more sense to me than others, but everyone's ideas are worthwhile, and everyone has something worthwhile to contribute.

The first snow came.

How beautiful it was, falling so silently, all day long, all night long, on the mountains, on the meadows, on the roofs of the living, on the graves1) of the dead! All white save the river, that marked2) its course by a winding black line across the landscape3), and the leafless trees, that against the leaden4) sky now revealed more fully the wonderful beauty and intricacy5) of their branches!

What silence, too, came with the snow, and what seclusion6)! Every sound was muffled7); every noise changed to something soft and musical. No more trampling8) hoofs9), no more rattling10) wheels!

Only the chiming11) of sleigh-bells12), beating as swift and merrily as the hearts of children.
