My mother was the smartest person I’ve ever known, not because she had a fancy job or a high level of education, but because of her life experience.When I was a little kid, she used to share her thoughts, ideas and life lessons with me.I can honestly say I would not have been the person I am today without her1)wisdom.
2)ln an effort to save her words and pass them on to my children, I have written down her best advise and thoughts on life.A few years after my project was done, she3)passed away in her sleep.Today, I want to share some of her4)inspiring words with you.I hope they will help you as much as they helped me.

As much as you might love them, some people can make it a lot harder for you to reach your goals.Almost everyone will meet such a person during their life.As you find out who you are and what you want, you realize that people you have known forever do not see things the way you do.Keep the wonderful memories you had with them, but move on to get your happiness.

We all fail from time to time, it’s just part of life.Don’t be19)stubborn or just accept it.The strongest people out there are the same people who have fought the hardest20)battles, lost, and then moved on to a new beginning.




媽媽在我所認識的人當中是最聰明的,不是因為她有一份好工作,也不是因為她的文化水平高,而是因為她有著豐富的人生經驗。小時候,媽媽常常和我分享她的想法、理念和人生經驗。說實話,如果沒有她這盞明燈,我不可能成為現在的我。
我把母親最好的忠告和人生感悟都記錄了下來,想把它們保存下來并教給我的孩子們。這個計劃完成后沒幾年,母親就在睡夢中去世了。現在,我想把母親說過的一些具有啟發性的話分享給你們,希望你們也能像我一樣從中受益。

無論你在哪里,無論你正經歷著什么,請記住,光明就在那隧道的盡頭。不要奢望,不要做無謂的假設,也不要過分要求。只需盡你最大的力量,掌握你所能,放下你所不能。

說出自己內心的真實想法,即使聲音顫抖,即使你知道這些話不會被別人接受。你是美麗而又獨一無二的,所以倘若你不表達出自己的意見,世界會因此失色不少。只管大方自信地向前走,不要期待任何人能夠理解你所走的道路。

人們在人生旅途中會有很多起起伏伏,而這也在改變著他們;你也不例外。你對事物的看法改變了,你的喜惡改變了,你的政治觀或許也改變了,這些都是再平常不過的事。如果有人責怪你變了,你只需回答:“我當然變了,因為這就是生活啊。我還是那個我,只是變得更強大更睿智罷了。”

把生命中發生的每件事都當成一個提升自己的機會。無論發生什么,都要懷抱希望。從一切事物中學習,不要害怕犯同樣的錯兩次、三次或是更多。

每次只需專注于一件事。你沒有必要完成所有事,你也不需要在生命里的每一秒鐘都在干著點什么。你需要做的就是深呼吸、活在當下、并且盡你所能做到最好。這也是包括你在內的每一個人最希望的。

知道物品的價格和領悟物品的價值有很大的區別。最終,你會意識到,當你不需要任何特別的事物來取悅自己的時候,那便是你最好的時光。

不是周遭的環境讓你不幸或不快,重要的是你自身的態度。對想要傷害你的人保持微笑,用行動告訴他們無論怎樣也剝奪不了你的快樂。你的意志力比你想象中的要強大。

當你身邊的人說“我還好”的時候,你要注視著他們的雙眼,緊緊地擁抱他們,給予他們關心問候。如果有些人在需要你幫忙的時候才想起你,不要為此難過;當你需要他們幫忙而他們卻不施予援手時,你才值得難過。

有些人對你不好,有些人想要自己做一些事情,有些人則需要你給他們一個深刻的教訓。有時候說再見很難,但你知道這是必須的。這樣對雙方都有好處。

無論你有多愛他們,有些人就是讓你很難實現自己的目標。幾乎所有人都會在生命中遇到這一類人。隨著你進一步了解自己、知道自己需要的是什么,你會發現,你認識多年的朋友的想法和你的大相徑庭。你所要做的就是珍惜你和他
們的那些美好回憶,同時繼續前進,努力爭取自己的幸福。


生活不是為了討好別人,而是為了能夠超越自我。如果你知道自己將會因為沒做一些事而后悔,那就去做吧。生活就是這么簡單。

我們難免會經歷失敗,這只是生命的一部分。不要固執,也不要逆來順受。最強大的人往往會屢戰屢敗、屢敗屢戰,并繼續著他新的篇章。
