Spend some time alone。
Open your arms to change； but don’t let go of your values。
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer。
Read more books and watch less TV。
Live a good； honorable life。 Then when you get older and think back； you’ll get to enjoy it a second time。
Trust in God but lock your car。
A loving atmosphere in your home is so important。 Do all you can to create a tranquil harmonious home。
In disagreements with loved ones； deal with the current situation。
Don’t bring up the past。
Read between the lines。
Pray。 There’s immeasurable power in it。
Never interrupt when you are being flattered。

Once a year； go someplace you’ve never been before。
If you make a lot of money； put it to use helping others while you are living。 That is wealth’s greatest satisfaction。
Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a stroke of luck。
Remember that the best relationship is one where your love for each other is greater than your need for each other。
Judge your success by what you have done pared to what you could have done； not to what others have done with their abilities。
Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon。
谱写生命的乐章
佚名
设想，如果有人给了你一支单色的不可拆装的钢笔。你根本看不到里面究竟有多少墨水。也许你试着写几个字后它就没水了，也许里面的墨水足够完成一部（也可能是几部）意义深远的传世之作。但这一切在动笔前，都不得而知。
这样的游戏规则，其结果你的确很难预料。只能赌一把！
实际上，游戏规则并未规定你一定要做点儿什么，反之，你甚至完全可以把它放到书架上或抽屉里，不去动它，任由墨水自然干枯。
可是，倘若你打算用它，你会将其派上什么用场呢？你将如何开展这一游戏呢？
你会在写一个字之前，不断犹豫，反复计划吗？你会因为计划过于周详而没时间动笔吗？
或许你只是手握钢笔，埋头苦写，笔耕不辍，顺着泉涌的文思被动前行呢？
你写字时会很小心，似乎这支笔的墨水下一刻就会枯竭一样吗？或是你会假装相信这支笔永无枯竭之时呢？
那么你会写些什么呢：情爱？憎恶？喜悦？痛苦？生命？死亡？虚无？抑或是一切？
你的写作目的是充实自己，还是愉悦他人呢？或是两者兼而有之？
你落笔胆怯审慎，还是铿锵有力？你的想象力是丰富还是匮乏？
也许你根本没有落笔，因为没有规则要求你拿到笔后必须要去写作。或许你会去素描？乱画一通？信笔涂鸦？
你会写在线内还是线上，或许你根本看不到线，即使有又在哪里呢？那些是吗？
就此有许多该考虑的问题，难道不是吗？
此刻，如果有人给你一支谱写生命乐章之笔……
Write Your Own Life
Anonymous
Suppose someone gave you a pen—a sealed； solid…colored pen。 You couldn’t see how much ink it had。 It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece（or several） that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things。 You don’t know before you begin。
Under the rules of the game； you really never know。 You have to take a chance！
Actually； no rule of the game states you must do anything。 Instead of picking up and using the pen； you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up； unused。
But if you do decide to use it； what would you do with it？ How would you play the game？
Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word？ Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing？
Or would you take the pen in hand； plunge right in and just do it； struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they take you？
Would you write cautiously and carefully； as if the pen might run dry the next moment； or would you pretend or believe （or pretend to believe） that the pen will write forever and proceed accordingly？
And of what would you write： Of love？ Hate？ Fun？ Misery？ Life？ Death？ Nothing？ Everything？
Would you write to please just yourself？ Or others？ Or yourself by writing for others？
Would your strokes be tremblingly timid or brilliantly bold？ Fancy with a flourish or plain？
Would you even write？ Once you have the pen； no rule says you have to write。 Would you sketch？ Scribble？ Doodle draw？
Would you stay in or on the lines； or see no lines at all； even if they were there？ Or are they？
There’s a lot to think about here； isn’t there？
Now； suppose someone gave you a life…

我相信
佚名
对我来说，从哈佛毕业后的25年里，我懂得了坚信希望而不陷入绝望，努力奋斗而不听天由命，坚定信念而不愤世嫉俗。
我相信知识的力量会使世界更美好。愤世嫉俗者可能说：人类从未在历史中学到什么，知识的真正作用只是使人类优于其他物种。但是他们错了：我们能够从错误中吸取教训，并超越过去。在哈佛，我们学会了这个事实——真理能让我们自由。
我相信履行家庭义务是我们的职责，因为有意义的生活的真正核心是家。愤世嫉俗者可能说：所有的家庭都很狭隘且毫无价值。家庭观念已经过时，无法运转。但是他们错了：让我们学会爱的正是家庭。
我相信通过努力，可以实现社会公正和全民自由。愤世嫉俗者可能要嘲笑这种想法太幼稚，他们声称：努力追求机会均等、公平公正、自由自在，只会创构一个绝望的荒原。但是他们错了：自由是我们的命运，公正是我们的向导，我们将所向无敌。
我相信，保护地球环境，可以抵制前所未有的冲击。愤世嫉俗者可能嘲笑道：一片古树林，一阵清风，或者一条山涧，都毫无价值。但是他们错了：人类无法独立生存，我们是世界的一部分。
我相信你，相信这里的每个人，也相信这个群体。愤世嫉俗者说，你们的内心受贪欲驱使，最终，你们只会在乎自己，而毫不顾及他物。但是他们错了：我们彼此关心，珍爱自由，崇尚公正，追求真理。
最终，一个重要的抉择摆在我们面前：愤世嫉俗还是坚定信念。它们都能扎根在我们的心灵深处，像能自我实现的预言一样，它们会塑造我们的生活。我相信，我们一定会相互敞开心扉，在无限可能的基础上，创造一切可能。这是一个自信民族的任务，也是贯穿我们整个历史，至今仍深植在我们内心深处的品格。
我相信我们的未来！
I Believe
Anonymous
For my part； in the 25 years since my Harvard graduation； I have e to believe in hope over despair； striving over resignation1； faith over cynicism。
I believe in the power of knowledge to make the world a better place。 Cynics may say， human beings have never learned anything from history。 All that is truly useful about knowledge is that it can provide you with advantages over the pack。 But the cynics are wrong： we have the capacity to learn from our mistakes and transcend2 our past。 Indeed； in this very place we have been taught that truth—Veritas3—can set us free。
I believe in finding fulfillment in family； for the family is the true center of a meaningful life。 Cynics may say， all families are confining and ultimately dysfunctional。 The very idea of family is outdated and unworkable。 But the cynics are wrong： it is in our families that we learn to love。
I believe in working to achieve social justice and freedom for all。 Cynics may scorn this notion as naive； claiming that all our efforts for equal opportunity； for justice； for freedom have created only a wasteland of failed hopes。 But the cynics are wrong： freedom is our destiny； justice is our guide； we shall overe。
I believe in protecting the Earth’s environment against an unprecedented onslaught4。 Cynics may laugh out loud and say there is no utility in a stand of thousand year old trees； a fresh breeze； or a mountain stream。 But the cynics are wrong： we are part of God’s earth，and can not separate from it。
I believe in you； all of you here； individually and as a group。 The cynics say you are motivated principally by greed and that ultimately you will care for nothing other than yourselves。 But the cynics are wrong： you care about each other； you cherish freedom； you treasure justice； you seek truth。
In the end we face a fundamental choice； cynicism or faith； each equally capable of taking root in our souls and shaping our lives as self fulfilling prophecies。 I believe we must open our hearts to each other and build on all the vast and creative possibilities。 This is a task for a confident people； which is what we have been throughout our history and what we still are in our deepest character。
I believe in our future。
