If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.

If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.

If I feel incompetent I will remember past success.If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.

Henceforth，I will know that only those with inferior ability can always be at their best，and I am not inferior.There will be days when I must constantly struggle against forces which would tear me down.Those such as despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there are others which approach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can also destroy me.Against them，too，I must never relinquish control—If I become overconfident I will recall my failures.If I overindulge I will think of past hungers.

If I feel complacency I will remember my competition.

If I enjoy moments of greatness I will remember moments of shame.If I feel all-powerful I will try to stop the wind.

If I attain great wealth I will remember one unfed mouth.

If I become overly proud I will remember a moment of weakness.If I feel my skill is unmatched I will look at the stars.

Henceforth I will recognize and identify the mystery of moods in all mankind，and in me.From this moment I am prepared to control whatever personality awakes in me each day.I will master my moods through positive action and when I master my moods I will control my destiny.I will become master of myself.I will become great.

人生不如意，十有八九。如果每一次你都被消極情緒影響，那你永遠(yuǎn)不會成功。想做未來的主人，首先要學(xué)會調(diào)整自己的情緒，做它的主人！

參考翻譯（高昆）

潮漲潮落。春去秋來。冬冷夏熱。日升日沒。月圓月缺。雁來云往。花飛花謝。春種秋收。自然萬物都隨著情緒循環(huán)往復(fù)，我作為其中的一部分，當(dāng)然也不例外。就像潮水一樣，我的情緒也是時漲時落。這是大自然的戲法，很少有人窺破天機(jī)。我每天醒來時，情緒總是和昨天不同，很難捉摸。昨天的快樂可能成了今天的悲傷，今天的悲傷也可能成了明天的快樂。好像身體里有一個轉(zhuǎn)輪，在悲傷和歡樂、興奮和絕望、幸福和憂郁之間不停地轉(zhuǎn)變。就像花朵，綻放的喜悅會慢慢退變成凋謝的絕望，但是枯萎的花朵也同樣孕育著即將綻放的種子，正如今天的悲傷同樣醞釀著明天的快樂。我該怎樣掌控這些情緒，才能讓每一天都過得很充實呢？情緒不對，這一整天都會在失敗中度過。花草樹木的茂盛依賴于氣候變換，但我可以創(chuàng)造屬于自己的氣候，沒錯，我自己掌控。

那么我要怎樣掌控自己的情緒，才能讓每一天都很充實、很愉悅呢？我要學(xué)習(xí)這個古老的秘方：弱者，情緒操控行為；強(qiáng)者，行為操控情緒。每天醒來，當(dāng)我被悲傷、自憐、失敗的情緒包圍，我都要像這樣與之對抗——感到沮喪時，就放聲歌唱。感到悲傷時，就開懷大笑。感到苦惱時，就加倍勞作。感到恐懼時，就勇往直前。感到低人一等時，就換上新裝。感到猶豫不決時，就加大音量。感到囊中羞澀時，就想象財富將至。感到力不從心時，就想想過去的成就。感到微不足道時，就想想自己的目標(biāo)。

今后，我要了解到，無法超越自我則謂無能之人，而我并非這樣。有些時候，我必須不斷地與那些想摧毀我的情緒對抗。失望與悲傷很容易察覺，但是，有些情緒往往微笑著靠近，并伸出友誼之手，可它們卻也能將我毀于無形。我同樣要與它們對抗，永遠(yuǎn)不放棄去掌控它們——變得自負(fù)時，就想想過去的失落。過度放縱時，就想想過去的渴望。感到自滿時，就想想競爭的對手。居功自傲?xí)r，就想想屈辱的時刻。自以為是時，就試試自己是否能呼風(fēng)喚雨。得到巨大財富時，就想想那些餓肚子的人。變得不可一世時，就想想自己怯懦的時候。感到技藝過人時，就看看漫天的繁星。

今后，我要識別和辨認(rèn)人類所有的情緒變化奧秘，包括我自己。這一刻開始，我要做出積極的行動來準(zhǔn)備控制每天心里可能被喚起的性格，一旦我控制了自己的情緒，就掌握了自己的命運(yùn)。我將成為自己的主人，我將優(yōu)秀卓越。

Youth 青春

Anonymous 佚名

Youth is not entirely a time of life；it is a state of mind.It is not a matter of rosy cheeks，red lips and supple knees.It is a temper of the will，a quality of the imagination，a vigor of the emotions；it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity，of the appetite of adventure over the love of ease.This often exits in a man of sixty more than a boy of twenty.Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideas.

Years may wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry，doubt，self-distrust，fear and despair—these bow the heart and turn the spirit back to dust.

Whether sixty or sixteen，there is in every human being’s heart the love of wonder，the sweet amazement at the stars and the star like things，the undaunted challenge of events，the unfailing child-like appetite forwhat-next，and the joy of the game of living.

You are as young as your faith，as old as your doubt；as young as your self-confidence，as old as your fear；as young as your hope，as old as your despair.

In the center of your heart there is a wireless station，so long as it receives messages of beauty，hope，courage，grandeur and power from the earth，from men and from Infinite，so long are you young.

When the wires are all down，and all the central places of your heart are covered with the snows of pessimism and the ice of cynicism，then，and only then，are you grown old indeed.

歲月催人老？其實未必……好的精神狀態(tài)可以讓你永葆青春。人生有幾步是需要跑的，特別是當(dāng)你年輕的時候。打開心扉，去接收世界的美好吧！

參考翻譯（單窈敏）

青春不僅僅是一段年華，更是一種心境；它不僅僅是粉嫩的臉頰、紅潤的嘴唇、柔軟自如的雙腿，更是一種堅強(qiáng)的意志、一幕絢麗的想象、一份熾熱的情感。青春是一股清新的生命深泉。

青春意味著勇氣壓倒怯懦，勇于冒險超過貪圖享樂。但是這種品質(zhì)卻常體現(xiàn)于六十歲的中老年而非二十幾歲的青年人身上。沒有人只是隨著年歲的增加而變老。我們老去只因我們遺失了理想。

年齡大了也許會皮膚老化，但是熱情沒了則會靈魂老化。煩惱、自我懷疑、惶恐、絕望——如此這些總是會壓抑年輕的心靈，擊潰年輕的精神。

不論是花甲老人還是花季少年，每個人心中都有一顆對天上的繁星，或者類似的其他事物的好奇之心，一顆無畏無懼的挑戰(zhàn)之心，如孩子般對未知事物永不退卻的渴望之心、還有就是一顆對生活樂趣的享受之心。

你會因為你的信念、自信、希望而變得年輕；但你也會因為懷疑、恐懼和絕望而老去。

每個人心中都有一座無線接收站，只要你從地球、人類和上帝那里接收美好、希望、勇氣、壯志和力量，你就會青春永駐。

一旦天線坍塌，你的心靈就如同被冰雪覆蓋般，變得玩世不恭、悲觀喪氣。唯有那時，你才會真正開始老去。

Friendship 友情

Small-minded administrators and authority figures like to speak in cliches.All my life I heard the same trite line，“you can tell a lot about a person by the friends they keep.”The black sheep of the honors program，I hung out with the so—called“l(fā)osers.”During my freshman year，not day went by when a teacher or family member did not a deride my closest friends and warn me that by hanging out with“bad seeds”I would fall into a downward spiral，never graduate college，and have a miserable life.They thought that they had me figured out.
