   Imagine Iife as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.You name them—work,family,health,friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air.

you will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.Ifyou drop it,itwell 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?

     Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.

2 A2 c# F Q+ ]/ S

It is because we are different that each of us is special.

     Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important.Only you know what is best for you.

8 u3 q. a/ O/ h* ~1 z+ m: I! G

     Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart.Cling to them as they were your life,for without them,life is meaningless.

6 K2 o0 d8 t8 Q8 V& T

     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.

     Don’t give up when you still have something to give .Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

     Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.

! x* W, a$ g1 ]8 s3 M' t7 s1 d) `

     Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

     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 give it wings.

3 G" ~2 j3 r0 r& u( f1 _- h

     Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been,

but also where you are going.

     Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

     Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless,a treasure you can always carry easily.

5 ]7 y' \) z0 l/ @0 P

     Don’t use time or words carelessly.Neither can be retreved.

     Life is not a race,but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Yesterday is History,

Tomorrow is a Mystery And Today is Gift…..that’s why we call it The present.

   想象生命是一种往空中抛五个球的游戏，你把这五个球分别取名为：工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵，而且你要努力不让它们落地。你很快会了解到工作是一个橡皮球。

S0 u ^, ^3 I" Y0 X. {4 b C

如果你让它落地了，它还会反弹起来。但是，家庭、健康、朋友、和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的，如果你让它们掉到地上，它们将会不可避免地遭到磨损，留下印记、划痕，摔破甚至碎落一地。

3 A4 j6 F7 a) y7 \4 g- z5 K9 \

它们将永远不会跟以前一样。

 

你必须了解这个道理，并且努力保持生活的平衡。但要怎么才能做到呢？

不要拿自己和他人比较而贬低自己的价值。正是因为我们彼此不同，所以每个人才很特别。

 

J- S/ B7 q9 U

不要因为别人看重那些东西而把它们设定为自己的目标。只有你才知道什么最适合自己。

% {8 T0 g1 B5 z1 {& H$ K

 

不要将最亲密的人或事视为理所当然的。好好珍惜他们，就像是你的生命一样，因为没有他们，生命将失去意义。

 

不要让你的生命总在留恋过去或是遥想未来中流逝。如果你活在每个当下，你就活出了人生的精彩。

 

当你还能给予的时候别轻言放弃。只要你不放弃，万事皆有可能。

 

& k. a4 }5 B( D: H& ^

不要害怕承认你并非完美。我们正是藉由这脆弱的细丝紧密地联系在一起。

不要害怕遇到危险。我们正是在冒险中学会勇敢的。

/ {8 i0 l4 }" b! E% t/ R

不要以真爱难求为借口而紧闭心扉。找到爱最快的方法就是给予你的爱；

失去爱最快的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱不放；维系爱的最好方式就是给爱一双翅膀。

不要匆忙地走过你的一生，以至于忘了自己到过哪里，要往哪里去。

不要忘记，人类最大的情感需要是被人欣赏。

, ?! M( x& _/ ]% C

 

不要害怕学习。知识不会成为负担，是你可以轻松携带的珍宝。

 

不要漫不经心地蹉跎光阴或信口开河。时间与话语都是收不回来的。

 

生活不是一场赛跑，而是每一步都需体味的旅程。

昨天已成历史，明天还未可知，而今天则是一份礼物：

那就是我们为什么称它为“当下”的原因。

“You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?”

Good question. The right answer is: you balance them in different ways at different periods of your life.
