  在新概念学习中我们有涉及过财产,健康,权利等的文章,那么我们有没有想过哪些东西你一旦拥有了别人很难把它们“偷走”。让我们来一一细数下。

  Of all the things that can be stolen from you – your possessions, your youth, your health, your words, your rights – what no one can ever take from you is…
  有的东西是可以被偷走的——你的财产、你的青春、你的健康、你的文字、你的权力——而有的东西是谁也偷不走的……

  1. Your uniqueness.

  你的独特性

  You are unrepeatable. There is a magic about you that is all your own. Having a low opinion of yourself is not humility, it’s self-destruction. Holding your uniqueness in high regard is not egotism, it’s a necessary precondition to happiness and success. You deserve to wear a smile in your heart. Not because of what you have or what you do, but because of who you are. Yes, you are changing each day, but you are always amazing just as you are.

  你是不可复制的。这是你专属的一种魔力。贬低自己不是谦虚,而是自我毁灭。重视自己的独特性并不是自负,而是获得快乐和成功的先决条件。你值得在内心绽放出微笑,不是因为你拥有些什么或者做了些什么,而是因为你就是你。是的,你每天都在发生变化,但你永远那么惊艳,这就是你。

  2. Your intuition.

  你的直觉

  If you’re thinking just like everyone else, you aren’t really thinking. Follow your intuition. Do what makes sense to you. Never compare your journey to someone else’s. Everyone has their own struggles, their own challenges, and a different path that they chose to get to where they are. Remember, you don’t need to wait for external circumstances to perfectly align in order to show up for the life you’ve been dreaming of. What you’re looking for is already somewhere inside you.

  如果你的思维方式总是和他人一样,你并没有真正在思考。跟随你的直觉。做那些对你有意义的事情。永远不要把你的生命旅程和别人的比较。每个人都会遇到自己的困境和挑战,每个人也都会选择不同的道路通向目的地。记住,你没有必要等到万事俱备才去争取你梦想中的生活。你所追寻的东西其实已经存在你心里的某个地方。

  3. How you feel about yourself.

  你对自己的感觉

  It takes a long time to learn how to NOT judge yourself through someone else’s eyes, but once you do the world is yours for the taking. We have all been placed on this earth to discover our own life, and we will never be happy or successful if we try to live someone else’s idea of it. So give up worrying too much about what others think of you. What they think isn’t all that important. What is important is how you feel about yourself.

  我们需要很长时间才能学会,如何不通过他人的眼光来评价自己。然而你一旦学会,整个世界都在你手中。我们来到这个世界都是为了探寻自己的生活,如果我们试图按照别人的方式去生活,我们永远不会获得快乐和成功。所以别太担心他人对你的看法。他们的想法没那么重要。重要的是你如何看待自己。

  4. Your passion.

  你的激情

  If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now. Find your passion, whatever it is. Become it, let it become you, and great things will happen FOR you, TO you, and BECAUSE of you. And even if things don’t work out as planned, you’ll still be heading in the right direction. Because nothing you have passion for is ever a waste of time, no matter how it turns out.

  如果有那么一个时刻,你应该追随自己的激情做一些对你重要的事情,那么就是现在了。去发现你所热爱的事情,不论是什么。成为这件事的一部分,也让这件事成为你生活的一部分,然后美好的事情就会因此降临。即使事情并没有按计划那样进行,你依然朝着正确的方向前进。因为做那些让你毫无激情的事情就是在浪费时间,不管这些事情能带来什么结果。

  5. Your attitude.

  你的态度

  Something nobody can take away from you is the way you choose to respond to what others say and do to you. The last of your freedoms is to choose your attitude in any given circumstance. Choose to be happy and positive. It is not always easy to find happiness in ourselves, but it is always impossible to find it elsewhere. Regardless of the situation we face, our attitude is our choice. So smile as you walk away and move on from negative people and their actions.

  有一样东西是谁也不能从你身上拿走的,那就是你回应他人对你的所作所为的态度。你最后的一项自由就是选择以何种态度应对周围的环境。让自己乐观积极一些。在自己身上找到快乐并不总是那么容易,但在别处找到快乐就更不可能。不管我们面对怎样的环境,我们的态度就是我们的选择。所以请远离那些消极的人和事,微笑着离开。

  6. Your determination.

  你的决心

  When life gives you something that makes you feel afraid, that’s when life gives you a chance to grow strong and be brave. Nothing is permanent in this crazy world, not even your mistakes, failures, or troubles. If you keep your eyes open and your feet moving forward, you’ll eventually find what you need.

  当生活中的某些事情让你感到害怕时,其实也是给你一个机会,让你变得更坚强更勇敢。在这个疯狂的世界上,没有什么东西是永恒的,你的错误、失败和烦恼也不是挥之不去的。只要你擦亮眼睛不断前进,你最终会找到你需要的东西。

  7. Your ability to spread love and kindness.

  你传播爱和善良的能力

  The measure of your life will not be in what you accumulate, but in what you give away. And 99 percent of the time you get what you put in, so give freely. Charity can be in the form of a smile, lending an ear or a helping hand. There are many acts of kindness that don’t cost a cent. Remember, the ultimate goal of all goals is to be happy. If you want to be happy make those around you happy.

  衡量生命的标准并不是你得到了什么,而是你给予了什么。99%的情况下你付出什么就会收获什么,所以请毫无保留地付出吧。慈善的形式有很多,可以是展露微笑,侧耳倾听或者伸出援手。有许多善举是不需要花一分钱的。记住,所有目标的终极目标是让人快乐。如果你想要快乐,就让周围的人快乐起来吧。

  8. Your knowledge and life experiences.

  你的知识和人生经历

  Character and wisdom are sculpted over time. They come with loss, lessons, and triumphs. They come after doubts, second guesses, and unknowns. If there was a definitive path to success, everyone would be on it. The seeds of your success are planted in your past failures. Your best stories will come from overcoming your greatest struggles. Your praises will be birthed from your pains. So keep standing, keep learning, and keep living.

  品质和智慧是随时间雕琢而成的。这个过程伴随着失败、教训和成功。你需要经历怀疑、反复猜测和未知才会收获它们。如果有一条明确的道路通向成功,那就没有人会失败了。成功的种子正是在你过去的失败中播下的。你最棒的经历一定和克服最大的困难有关。你承受的痛苦里将会孕育赞美。所以挺直腰板,继续学习,继续生活。

  9. Your hope.

  你的希望

  It’s not the load that breaks you down, it’s the way you carry it. The biggest obstacles that stand between a person and what they want in life is the will to try it, and the faith to believe it’s possible. Hope is the little voice inside your head that whispers “maybe” when it seems like the whole world is shouting “impossible!”

  把你压垮的不是你肩上的重担,而是你扛起重担的方式。我们在实现梦想的道路上最大的障碍就是敢于尝试的决心,和相信美梦成真的信念。希望就是当全世界朝你大喊“不可能”时,在你的头脑深处依然有一个小声音在说“有可能”。

  10. Your choice to move on emotionally.

  你对待感情的洒脱

  Don’t let past relationships and old mistakes ruin your future. Don’t let someone or something that didn’t make it in your life continue to hurt you. If you do, you’re still giving a portion of your life to something that no longer exists – it’s like letting your happiness slip into a black hole. Learn the lesson, release the pain, and move on. Scars remind us of where we have been, not where we are headed.

  别让过去的感情和错误毁掉你的未来。别让那些对你的生活已经没有意义的人或事继续伤害你。如果你还这样做,你就是在让一些已经不存在的东西来瓜分你的生活——就好像放任自己的幸福被黑洞吞噬。吸取教训,释放痛苦,然后继续前进。伤痕只是用来提醒我们曾在何处,而并非去向何方。
