1. Positivity

積極

The things you think about, focus on, and surround yourself with ultimately shape who you become. Choose to live with gratitude for the love that fills your heart, the peace that rests deep within your spirit, and the voice of hope that whispers, “All things are possible.” Right now, pause for a moment and repeat after me: “What I think about and thank about, I will bring about in my life.”

你所思考的、投入的，以及你周?chē)囊磺?，最終決定你成為什么樣的人。選擇做一個(gè)因?yàn)槌錆M(mǎn)愛(ài)心、心境安寧、相信希望的感恩之人，“一切皆有可能?！?現(xiàn)在，暫停手中的事情跟我重復(fù)：“我將把我所思考的和感激的所有，實(shí)踐到我的生活中去?！?

2. Patience

耐心

Using time, pressure and patience, the universe gradually changes caterpillars into butterflies, sand into pearls, and coal into diamonds. You’re being worked on too, so hang in there. Just because something isn’t happening for you right now, doesn’t mean it will never happen.

運(yùn)用時(shí)間、壓力和耐心。整個(gè)宇宙都是毛毛蟲(chóng)蛻變成蝴蝶、沙土凝聚成珍珠、煤炭提煉出鉆石的過(guò)程。你也會(huì)遵循這樣的規(guī)律，所以一定要堅(jiān)持。不要因?yàn)槟銖膩?lái)沒(méi)有成功，就認(rèn)為你永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)成功。

3. Courage

勇氣

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you aren’t really living at all – you’re merely existing. You cannot always wait for the perfect time; sometimes you must dare to jump. Sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage – just literally twenty seconds of uncomfortable bravery – and I promise you, something great will come of it.

生活中想要沒(méi)有失敗基本不可能，除非你生活得過(guò)于謹(jǐn)慎，就像你從未真正生活過(guò)，你只是存在于此。你不可能坐等時(shí)機(jī)降臨，有時(shí)候你需要主動(dòng)搏一把。有時(shí)候你需要的只是剎那瘋狂的勇氣，我敢說(shuō)，也許就是那剎那令人不安的勇氣，隨之而來(lái)的就是美妙的經(jīng)歷。

4. Love

愛(ài)

When love is your guiding light, you can break through barriers to be of loving service to the world. Gaining the courage and confidence to stand up for what you believe in is not always easy, but it’s fully within your reach. Focus on things that make you the most YOU – that bring out the best of you, that make you better than you were yesterday, and that allow you to shine your light into the space around you.

當(dāng)愛(ài)成為你的指明燈，你可以沖破任何艱難險(xiǎn)阻為世界上的愛(ài)作出貢獻(xiàn)。積累勇氣和信心來(lái)支持你的信念，這并不容易，但這完全在你能力范圍之內(nèi)。關(guān)注那些能展現(xiàn)出真正的你、最好的你的東西，這些東西能使你比昨天做得更好，讓你散發(fā)出感染他人的光芒。

5. Truth

事實(shí)

Tell the truth, or eventually someone will tell it for you. Living a life of honesty creates peace of mind, and peace of mind is priceless. Don’t be dishonest and don’t put up with people who are.

說(shuō)真話(huà)，或者即使你不說(shuō)，最終他人也會(huì)告訴你事實(shí)。誠(chéng)實(shí)的生活態(tài)度培養(yǎng)出平和的心境，而這是無(wú)價(jià)之寶。拒絕虛偽，也不要容忍那些虛偽的人。

6. Confession

認(rèn)錯(cuò)

Don’t criticize others for their flaws if you are not willing to confess your own. Whatever we refuse to confess about ourselves has a way of rearing its head and making itself known when we least expect it.

如果你不愿意承認(rèn)自己的缺點(diǎn)，那么就不要批判他人的過(guò)錯(cuò)。如果我們拒絕向他人承認(rèn)的關(guān)于自己的一切，最終會(huì)在我們最不希望發(fā)生的時(shí)候冒出頭被他人知道。

7. Appreciation

感恩

Sometimes we end up cheating on others and ourselves simply because we pay more attention to what we’re missing, rather than what we have. Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, think about what you have that everyone else is missing.

有時(shí)候我們會(huì)欺騙他人甚至是我們自己，這僅僅因?yàn)槲覀兲^(guò)于看重我們失去了什么，而不是我們正擁有著什么。仔細(xì)想想別人失去而你正擁有的東西吧！

8. Responsibility

責(zé)任

In every situation you have ever been in, positive or negative, the one common thread is you. Responsibility means recognizing that regardless of what has happened up to this point in your life, you are capable of making choices to change your situation, or to change the way you think about it.

我們處于的每一種狀態(tài)，無(wú)論積極或是消極，貫穿始終的主線是你自己。責(zé)任意味著，你要去意識(shí)到，無(wú)論是什么導(dǎo)致目前的狀況，你都有能力去選擇改變現(xiàn)狀，或者改變你看待它的方式。

9. Growth

成長(zhǎng)

You can choose to let your past define you and confine you, or you can choose to learn, grow, and leave it behind you. Just like the seasons, you have the ability to change. In many ways, you already have.

你可以選擇用過(guò)去來(lái)詮釋你和限制你，或者選擇去學(xué)習(xí)成長(zhǎng)，甩開(kāi)過(guò)去的一切。你有能力去改變。從各種方面來(lái)說(shuō)，你已經(jīng)有了改變的能力。

10. Persistence

堅(jiān)持

All things are difficult before they are easy. It’s not about falling, it’s about getting back up. Success is not a skill, it is a persistent attitude.

凡事先難后易。重點(diǎn)不是失敗，而是要在困難中站起來(lái)。成功不是一種技巧，而是一種持之以恒的心態(tài)。
