　　：所有事皆需全力以赴

　　The master of a single trade can support a family. The master of seven trades cannot support himself.

　　Now I know that in order to grow and flourish I must spare no efforts in doing things and keep a little in advance of the times. Those who reach the top are the ones who are not content with doing only what are required of them. They do more. They go the extra mile. And another.

　　I will spare no efforts in doing things.

　　Now I know that I cannot pursue a worthy goal, steadily and persistently, with all the powers of my mind and yet fail. If I focus the rays of sun with a burning glass, even in the coldest days of winter, I can kindle***點燃，激起*** a fire with ease.

　　I will spare no efforts in doing things.

　　The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish good results while the strongest, by dispersing his effort over many chores, may fail to accomplish anything.

　　Drops of water, by continually falling, hone their passage through the hardest of rocks but the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar and leaves no trace24 behind. I will leave my trace. The world will know I have been here.

　　I will spare no efforts in doing things.

　　：沒有勇氣就沒有力量

　　It takes strength to do what must be done when the work is unpleasant and uncomfortable.

　　It takes strength to persist in the face of obstacles, when it would be much easier to simply give up.

　　It takes strength to be polite to someone when that person has been rude to you.

　　It takes strength to be truthful when a lie would be more convenient.

　　It takes strength to build for the future.

　　It takes strength to resist temptations and distractions.

　　It takes strength to do what is right.

　　It takes stength to do al these things. And all the while, these are the very things that build even more strength.

　　Be truthful, do what you know is right, put forth effort when it is called for, persist, and the more you do so, the more easily you'll be able to do so. Exercise your strength, and you'll surely grow stronger, more capable, and successful in each endeavor.

　　：別人是你的一面鏡子

　　The first time you meet someone, in the first moment you form an impression in your mind of that person. Your reactions to other people, however, are really just barometers***氣壓計*** for how you perceive yourself. Your reactions to others say more about you than they do about others. You cannot really love or hate about yourself. We are usually drawn to those who are most like us and tend to dislike those who display those aspects of ourselves that we dislike.

　　Therefore, you can allow others to be the mirror to illuminate more clearly your own feelings of self-worth. Conversely, you can view the people you judge negatively as mirrors to show you what you are not accepting about yourself.

　　To coexist peacefully***和平共處*** with others, you will need to learn tolerance. A big challenge is to shift your perspective radically from judgment of other to a lifelong exploration of yourself. Your task is to assess all the decisions, judgments you make onto others and to begin to view them as clues to how you can heal yourself and become whole.

　　I recently has a business lunch with a man who displayed objectionable table manners. My first reaction was to judge him as offensive and his table manners as disgusting. When I noticed that I was judging him, I stopped and asked myself what I was feeling. I discovered that I was embarrassed to be seen with someone who was chewing with his mouth open and loudly blowing his nose. I was astonished to find how much I cared about how the other people in the restaurant perceived me.

　　Remember that your judgment of someone will not serve as a protective shield against you becoming like him. Just because I judge my lunch partner as offensive does not prevent me from ever looking or acting like him. In the same way, extending tolerance to him would not cause me to suddenly begin chewing my food with my mouth open.

　　When you approach life in this manner, those with whom you have the greatest grievances***抱怨，不平*** as well as those you admire and love can be seen as mirrors, guiding your to discover parts of yourself that you reject and to embrace your greatest quality.
