A Creed to Live By

佚名 / Anonymous

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. Cling to them as you would your life， for without them life is meaningless.

Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or 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 to each other.

Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how 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 love； 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 dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope； to be without hope is to be without purpose.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been， but also where you’re going. Life is not a race， but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

不要與他人比較，從而損毀了自己的價值，因為我們都是獨一無二的，每個人都很特別。

不要以別人認為重要的東西，來設立自己的目標。只有你知道自己最想要什么。

不要忽視最貼近你心靈的東西，要像對待自己的生命一樣，去珍愛它們。因為，沒有了它們，生命便毫無意義。

不要沉浸于往昔或將來，這會讓生命從指尖流逝。珍視生活中的每一天，這樣，你就擁有了生命的全部時光。

不要在還未盡全力之前輕易放棄。沒有什么會真正結束，除非你停止努力。

不要害怕承認自己不夠完美，維系人與人之間關系的正是這根脆弱的線。

不要害怕遭遇風險，只有抓住這樣的機會，我們才能學會勇敢。

不要說真愛難尋，而將你生命中的愛拒之門外。付出愛才能最快地得到愛，而將愛束縛得太緊，則會更快地失去愛。賦予愛一雙翅膀，才能讓愛長駐。

不要放棄你的夢想，生活沒有了夢想，就失去了希望；沒有希望，就失去了方向。

不要讓生命的腳步行進得太快，而忘記自己曾經身在何方、去往何處。人生是一段旅程，而不是賽跑，途中的每一步，都值得你去細細品味。
