當你老了:會讓你會心微笑的7件事大綱
The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval. This is how happiness blooms.
人生最大的成就是不斷的超越自己，並無愧於自己的內心。這是幸福的源泉。So don’t wait for someone to bring you roses; plant your own garden and decorate your own soul with ideas and passions that bring you joy. You do not exist to impress the world; you exist to live your life in a way that makes you and your loved ones smile.
因此，不要等待別人的玫瑰；自己種植滿園芬芳，並用能帶給你快樂的思想和熱情來豐富自己的靈魂。你的存在不是爲了讓世界銘記你，而是用自己的方式讓自己和你愛的人微笑。Stay true to your path, stay positive, and someday you will catch yourself smiling about…
忠於自己的內心，保持積極樂觀的心態，有一天你會發現這些能讓你會心微笑……
1. Memories of working on a life passion.
1. 擁有激情工作的回憶Passion is the key, and it’s worth making sacrifices for. It’s the secret ingredient that has kept me going through some of the most painful times of my life. Because at some point, especially when the going gets tough, you have to wonder what you’re doing and why.
對於工作，激情很關鍵，而且它也值得我們做出犧牲。這是我度過人生最艱難的時光的祕訣。因爲在某些時候，特別是遇到困難的時候，你必須得知道你在做什麼，爲什麼要這麼做。What distinguishes many of us who are actively pursuing our dreams from those of us on the couch is that some of us have learned the hard way – perhaps through a severe loss – that life is short, and that we must capitalize on the opportunities each day gives us, on the raw potential our minds and bodies are capable of, and on every ounce of willpower we can muster to make our journeys worthwhile.
那些積極追求夢想的人和那些安逸的躺在沙發上的人之間的巨大區別就是是否體驗過人生的艱辛——也許是重大的挫折——生命是短暫的，我們必須激發大腦和身體中潛藏的能力，鼓起每一分意志力，抓住人生的每一個機遇，讓我們不虛此生。2. The little moments.
2. 那些瑣碎的時光True wealth is the ability to experience each moment of life to the fullest. Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things.
欣賞那些細微的事物，因爲有一天當你回首往事時，會發現也許那些都很重要。能夠盡情的享受人生的每一刻纔是真正的財富。The subtle things are often the most powerful, but sometimes we get so busy that we don’t pay attention to them. So my challenge to you is this: Open your eyes. Wake up. Be attentive. Acknowledge each wonderful gift you have. See today as another day to enjoy the sights, sounds, smells, and sensations life has to offer.
微妙的東西往往具有最強大的力量，但有時候我們會因爲忙碌而忽視它們。所以我對你們的要求是：睜開你的雙眼，打起精神，看看周圍的一切。感謝生命中一切美好的東西。把每天都當成重要的時刻，來享受美景，聲音，氣味和生命中的每一分感動。3. The happiness you helped create.
3. 創造幸福Attitudes are catchy. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you and those around you.
態度很重要。積極或消極的態度都會影響你和你周圍的人。So be positive. Let your intentions bleed with goodness – embodied in positive thoughts, cheerful words, and unselfish deeds – and the world will be to you a bright and happy place in which to work, play, and serve the greater good.
所以要保持積極向上的心態。讓心中充滿愛——這體現在積極的狀態，鼓舞人心的話語和無私的行爲——這樣，無論你身在何方，世界對於你來說都是一個充滿希望和歡樂的地方，也能讓更多的人都沐浴在愛之中。4. Relationships that weathered the storms with you.
4. 那些和你共度難關的人No relationship is all sunshine, but two people can share one umbrella and survive the storm together.
沒有一帆風順的友誼，但兩個人可以相互幫助，共度難關。In fact, the best relationships are not always the best because they have been consistently the happiest; sometimes they are that way because they have survived and strengthened through unhappy times.
事實上，再好的朋友也會有矛盾，因爲他們有過最幸福的時光；有時候他們爭執，是因爲他們挺過了艱難的時刻，並因此變得更加堅強。5. Feeling beautiful on the inside.
5. 內心的美好感覺As you get older, what you look like on the outside becomes less and less of an issue, and who you are on the inside becomes the primary point of interest. You eventually realize that beauty has almost nothing to do with looks; it’s who you are as a person, how you make others feel about themselves, and most importantly, how you feel about yourself.
隨着年齡的增長，你會漸漸覺得外表不再那麼重要，重要的是你的內在。你最終會意識到美麗與外表無關；作爲一個人，你是誰，你讓別人感覺如何纔是重要的，而最重要的是你自己的感覺。6. Knowing that you did your best.
6. 知道自己已經盡力了Don’t be afraid of death; be afraid of a life unlived. You don’t have to live forever; you just have to live right now while you have a chance. Keep in mind that life doesn’t always give you second chances, so when an opportunity arises, take it.
不要懼怕死亡，行屍走肉的一生纔是最可怕的。你並不需要長生不老；你最需要的是活在當下。記住，人生沒有彩排，所以當機遇降臨時，一定要抓住它。And never give up on a dream just because of the time that’s required to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway. Do what you need to do so that, at the very least, you can look back on your life someday and say, “I gave it my best shot.”
永遠也不要因爲夢想需要太久才能實現而放棄。時間總會消逝。做你需要做的一切，這樣最起碼，當你有一天回首往事時，你可以問心無愧：“我已經盡力了。”7. The peace in your heart.
7. 內心的平靜Life is short. So focus on what matters to YOU and let go of what does not.
生命是短暫的。所以要把精力集中在那些對你來說重要的東西上面。Remember, it is the strength of your conviction that determines your level of success, not the number of people who agree with every little thing you do. In the end, you will know that you’ve made the right decisions and followed the proper path when there is peace in your heart.
記住，決定你成功程度的是信念的力量，而不是有多少人贊成你做的那些微不足道的小事。你最終會明白，內心的平靜會指引你做出正確的決定，並選擇適當的人生之路。
