han yourself.

  enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

  keep interested in your career, however humble;it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

  exercise caution in your business affairs;for the world is full of trickery.

  but let this not blind you to what virtue there is;many persons strive for high ideals;and everywhere life is full of heroism.

  be yourself. especially, do not feign affection.

  neither be cynical about love;for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

  take kindly the counsel of the years,gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

  nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

  but do not distress yourself with imaginings.

  many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

  beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

  you are a child of the universe,no less than the trees and thestars;you have a right to be here.

  and whether or not it is clear to you,no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

  therefore be at peace with god,whatever you conceive him to be,and whatever your labors and aspirations,in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

  with all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,it is still a beautiful world.

  be cheerful.

  strive to be happy.

  (在喧闹而奔忙的世界中平静地往前走这是多么和平、安宁

  你要与周围所有的人友好相处

  尽可能不要放弃这种努力和追求

  你要轻轻却清晰地说出自己的真实思想并且耐心倾听别人含糊甚至烦人的想法因为每个人都有他们自己的故事

  你要远远避开那些吵闹、具有侵略性的人他们会使你的精神苦恼

  如果你将自己与他人作比

  那么你将变得既自负又痛苦

  因为这世上永远有着比你强和比你弱的人们你该享受你自己的成就和计划

  保持对你自己的事业的兴趣

  它们不管多么细琐、低下,都是你在变化多端的时代能真正拥有的财产在商业事务中你要小心谨慎
