Life's Balance 



　

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air.
You name them: work, family, health, friends, and spirit, and you're
keeping all of them 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? Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. 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. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Hold 
on to them as you would to life, for without them, life is meaningless. 
Don't let 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 together. Don't be afraid to 
encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn 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 hold it 
too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. 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 that a person's greatest emotional need 
is to feel appreciated. Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.

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 a gift. That's why we call it—the present...

法国电影《初恋》中的一首插曲， 那时的苏菲 玛索 好漂亮

Reality-richard sanderson
歌词：
Met you by surprise
I did not realize
that my life would change forever
Saw you standing there
I did not know I,d care
There was something special in the air
Dreams are my reality
The only kind of real fantasy
Illusions are a common thing
I tried to live in dreams
it seems as if it is meant to be
Dreams are my reality
A difference kind of reality
I dream of loving in the night
and loving seems all right
although it is only fantasy
If you do exist
honey did not persist
show me in your way of loving
Tell me that it is true
Show me what to do
I feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality
The only kind of reality
May be my foolishness just passed
And may be now at last
I’ve seen how real things can be
Dreams are my reality
a wondrous world where I like to be
I dreaming of holding you all night
And holding seems all right
Perhaps that is my reality
Met you by surprise
I did not realize
that my life would change forever
Tell me that it is true
Feelings that I knew
I feel something special about you
Dreams are my reality
A wondrous world where I like to be
Illusions are a common thing
I tried to live in dreams
Although it is only fantasy
Dreams are my reality
I like to dream of you close to me
I dream of loving in the night
And loving seems all right
Perhaps that is my reality

I believe in the 50-percent theory. Half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they are worse. I believe life is a pendulum swing. It takes time and experience to understand what normal is, and that gives me the perspective to deal with the surprises of the future.
   Let's benchmark the parameters: Yes, I will die. I've dealt with the deaths of both parents, a best friend, a beloved boss and cherished pets. Some of these deaths have been violent, before my eyes, or slow and agonizing. Bad stuff, and it belongs at the bottom of the scale.
   Then there are those high points: romance and marriage to the right person; having a child and doing those Dad things like coaching my son's baseball team, paddling around the creek in the boat while he's swimming with the dogs, discovering his compassion so deep it manifests even in his kindness to snails, his imagination so vivid he builds a spaceship from a scattered pile of Legos.
   But there is a vast meadow of life in the middle, where the bad and the good flip-flop acrobatically. This is what convinces me to believe in the 50-percent theory.
   One spring I planted corn too early in a bottomland so flood-prone that neighbors laughed. I felt chagrined at the wasted effort. Summer turned brutal -- the worst heat wave and drought in my lifetime. The air-conditioner died, the well went dry, the marriage ended, the job lost, the money gone. I was living lyrics from a country tune -- music I loathed. Only a surging Kansas City Royals team, bound for their first World Series, buoyed my spirits.
   Looking back on that horrible summer, I soon understood that all succeeding good things merely offset the bad. Worse than normal wouldn't last long. I am owed and savor the halcyon times. They reinvigorate me for the next nasty surprise and offer assurance that I can thrive. The 50 percent theory even helps me see hope beyond my Royals' recent slump, a field of struggling rookies sown so that some year soon we can reap an October harvest.
   Oh, yeah, the corn crop? For that one blistering summer, the ground moisture was just right, planting early allowed pollination before heat withered the tops, and the lack of rain spared the standing corn from floods. That winter my crib overflowed with corn -- fat, healthy three-to-a-stalk ears filled with kernels from heel to tip -- while my neighbors' fields yielded only brown, empty husks.
   Although plantings past may have fallen below the 50-percent expectation, and they probably will again in the future, I am still sustained by the crop that flourishes during the drought.

向左走,还是向右走?

  我竟然迷路了!

  心理好矛盾,恐怕今晚又该难眠了.好似一直都在思考着的问题,又好
似早已下定了决心的问题,重又乱麻似的涌现在脑海.

  选择哪一条路? 安稳的工作,可又觉得没有自己的发展空间;研究生么,可未来的道路又有谁能说清?

  虽然这复试名单终于盼来了,却发现兴奋过后竟是不知所措.因为这是无法交叉的两条路,所以我必须作出一个决定!哪怕这是两条看似丛林茂密的路.

  烦啊~谁能帮帮我!!!!

清晨励志演讲--每天早晨起来的时候读一读
As you slowly open your eyes, look around, notice where the light comes into your room, listen carefully, see if there’s any new sounds you can recognize, feel with your body and spirit, see if you can sense the freshness in the air.
Yes! Yes! Yes!!!

It’s a new day, it’s a different day and it’s a bright day. And most importantly, it’s a new beginning for your life, a beginning where you’re going to make new decisions, take new actions, make new friends, and take your life a totally unprecedented level.

In your minds’ eye, you can see clearly the things you want to have, the places you intend to go, the relationships you desire to develop, and the positions you aspire to reach. You can hear your laughters of joy and happiness in the day when everything happens as your dream; you can see the smiles on the people around you when the magic moment strikes. You can feel your face is getting red and your heart is beating fast and your blood is rushing all over your body to every single corner of your being.



You know all this is real as along as you’re confident, passionate and committed. And you are confident, you are passionate, you are committed. You’ll no longer fear making new sounds, showing new facial expressions, using your body in new ways, approaching new people and asking new questions. You’ll live every single day of your life with absolute passion. You’ll show your passion through the words you speak and the actions you take. You’ll focus all your time and effort on the most important goals of your life. You’ll never succumb to challenges or hardships. You’ll never waver in your pursuit of excellence. After all, you’re the best and you deserve the best.



As your coach and friend, I can assure you the door to all the best things in the world will open to you but the key to that door is in your hand. You must do your part, you must faithfully follow the plans you make and take the actions you plan. You must never quit, you must never fear. I know you must do it, you can do it, you will do it and you will succeed.



Now stand firm and tall, make a fist, get excited and yell it out:



I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!!!

I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!!!

I must do it! I can do it! I will do it! I will succeed!!!

   看到大家的博客里都出现了雪.今年很奇怪,南方一些少雪的地方却大雪纷飞,甚至造成了灾害.而北方这边,今日还阳光灿烂.
本以为考研那两天会痛快的下一场大雪,让心情爽朗起来,可是只有阴冷,却没有雪白降临。
   我想到日语里的那篇课文,北方下雪习以为常,所以一些除雪的措施还是比较到位.而南方不同,一点雪就可能带来大麻烦.现在对于他们来说,来不及欣喜雪的降临,只有苦恼雪的不便.
  

常常有一些说不出来的感动。
    就好像看见灰色的城市中，车水马龙的道路旁偶尔冒出一片点缀着或红或黄的绿意，即使我匆匆地从它们身边经过，可就在这一瞬间，它已经深深地感动了我。
     就像看见一只小鸟，在我的窗台上跳跃盼顾，抖动漂亮的羽毛冲着我叫了那么一声，尔后又匆匆飞走。就像看见雪花飘落在我的手臂肩膀上安静温柔，看见一个朋友久违的微笑和眼神，看见阳光冲破乌云所表现出的那种自信和喜悦……总之，感动我的有时是一种声音，一种复杂的蕴涵着生命万象的声音；有时是一种状态，一种默默的无法言喻的状态。也有的时候，感动我的竟是一种细微，经常被人遗忘的场景。最终，它们几乎全部搬进了我的内心，融化成一曲悲壮的歌。
    更有时候，感动我的仿佛什么也不是。
    不知道为什么要感动。
    但有一点我可以肯定：若是没有感动，我想我就会于无声无息中丢弃自己。因为我知道，这个世界上连一棵草一朵一粒雪一片云，都那么持久地拥有着令人感动的特质。所有的生命几乎都离不开感动。
    许多时候，我就是这样不可抗拒地被一些极小的事物感动着，被极小的感动包围着。只是，我好像从来没有将每一次感动记录下来，甚至没有探究过具体理由。感动不需准备，总是突然不经意间精彩了人生。
    常常被感动而充满热情的人是有福的。
    我想我是有福的人吧。感动是我深爱着的世上一切美好事物的集合，甚至成为我生活的一部分。而这些美好的事物也仿佛是我的朋友和亲人，同样关心着我，温暖着我。我们永远保持着那种和谐友善真挚的联系。每次感动都会洗净我灵魂中某个小小的斑点和污渍，每一次深深的感动都有可能斩断我性格中某一段不足。日复一日，感动使我的内心变得清洁，明亮，丰富而又宽敞，使我面对每一轮崭新的日出都能赢得一个全新的自我。
    因此，我敢说，一个人，只要他还能感动，就不至于彻底丧失自我。只要能感动，即使将你放在生活的最边缘，你也决不会轻易放弃生活的勇气和希望。
