| 设想生活是一场游戏，你正试图把玩5个抛向空中的球。这5个球是工作、家庭、健康、朋友、心灵。
你很快就会明白，工作是一个橡皮球。如果，不小心掉下，它还会弹回来。但其他四个球—家庭、健康、朋友和心灵却是玻璃做成的。如果，你不小心，掉下其中的任何一个，它们就会不可弥补地被刻上斑痕、留下缺口、被损坏、甚至破碎。它们绝不会完好如初。
你必须明白这一点，从而努力平衡你的生活。
怎样才能做好？
1. 不要总是跟别人去比而低估你自己的价值。人与人是不同的，每个人都有自己的特色。
2. 不要基于别人的择重去设定你的目标，只有你自己才知道什么最适合你。
3. 不要忽视那些最贴近你心坎的人和物。一生中，尽可能黏恋它们。没有这些，生活将毫无意义。
4. 即不要生活在过去，也不要生活为未来。过好每一天，你便会过好你今生的全部。
5. 不要轻言放弃，当你还可以给予、尝试。事情只终结于当你放弃的那一刻。
6. 不要害怕承认自己不够完美。正是这根纤弱的丝线将我们绑在一起。
7. 不要害怕遭遇危险。正是这些机遇，让我们学会勇敢。
8. 不要轻言爱情无法寻到而关上心扉。得到爱的最快途径是给予；失去爱的最快途径是拥握太紧；而拥有爱的最好办法是给爱装上翅膀。
9. 不要仓促你的人生，以至于你不但全然忘记去过那里，更不知今后所望。
10. 不要忘记，人类情感最需要的是欣赏、感激。
11. 不要害怕学习。知识是一种无重的、可以轻易携带的珍宝。
12. 不要轻易的浪费时间，也不要口无遮掩 。两者都无可挽回。

Five Balls Of Life
This was written by the CEO of Coca-Cola Brian G. Dyson.
It was used as Georgia Tech’s Commencement Address:
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.
You name them – Work – Family – Health – Friends – Spirit, and you’re keeping all of these in the air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls — family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.
They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
1. Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
2. Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
3. Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
4. Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
5. Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
6. Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together.
7. Don’t be afraid to encounter risks It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
8. Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
9. Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.
10. Don’t forget that a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
11. Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
12. Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. |
