你不可不知的30个人生哲理（下）

16.We sometimes do things that are permanently foolish just because we are temporarily upset. A lot of heartache can be avoided if you learn to control your emotions.

有时候我们会因为一时的失意做出让我们抱憾终身的事情。学会控制你的情绪，你就不会为很多无谓的事情心痛了。

17.Someone else doesn’t have to be wrong for you to be right. There are many roads to what’s right. You cannot judge others by your own past. They are living a different life than you. What might be good for one person may not be good for another. What might be bad for one person might change another person’s life for the better. You have to allow people to make their own mistakes and their own decisions.

纵然你是对的，你也不能全盘否定别人。正确的定义有很多。你不能将你的价值观强加在别人身上。每个人都是不同的。对于这个人而言这是对的，但对那个人却不一定。同样的，也许对某人不利的却改善了另一个人的一生。你得允许别人犯错，也要允许他们自己做决定。

18.Nobody is perfect, and nobody deserves to be perfect. Nobody has it easy. You never know what people are going through. Every one of us has issues. So don’t belittle yourself or anyone else. Everybody is fighting their own unique war.

人无完人，也没有必须完美。每个人过得都不容易。你不会知道他们都经历了些什么。每个人都有自己要去做的事情。所以，不要轻视你自己或者他人。每个人都有自己要去应对的战争。

19.A smile doesn’t always mean a person is happy. Sometimes it simply means they are strong enough to face their problems.

有时候，微笑，并不代表快乐。仅仅说明面对困难，我们足够坚强。

20.The happiest people I know keep an open mind to new ideas and ventures, use their leisure time as a means of mental development, and love good music, good books, good pictures, good company and good conversation. And oftentimes they are also the cause of happiness in others – me in particular.

我认识的最快乐的人，他们思想开放、敢于冒险；他们会利用闲暇时光来提升心智，热爱高雅的音乐、有深度的书籍、精美的画作、杰出的工作伙伴还有睿智的谈话。通常，他们也是其他人快乐的源泉——对我尤其如此。

21.You can’t take things too personally. Rarely do people do things because of you. They do things because of them.

你不能太主观臆断。没有人是生下来就为你而活的。他们的所作所为也是为了他们自己。

22.Feelings change, people change, and time keeps rolling. You can hold on to past mistakes or you can create your own happiness. A smile is a choice, not a miracle. True happiness comes from within. Don’t make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy.

情变了、人变了、而时间依然在向前奔跑。你可以选择继续沉溺于过去的失败，或是开创你自己新的幸福。微笑，只是一个选择，不是奇迹。真正的幸福是发自内心的。不要以为会有某个人或某件事来给你幸福。

23.It’s much harder to change the length of your life than it is to change the depth of it.

我们无法改变人生的长度，却可以改变它的深度。

24.You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.最终，那些你后悔“没做”的事情，总是比“做过”的事情要多。

25.When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.

当你不再执迷不悟时，你给了自己一个机会，去走上正确的道路。

26.One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that’s trying to make you like everyone else.

人生一大难事，就是做你自己。因为总是有那么多的因素让你变得和别人一样。

27.Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things.

珍惜不起眼的“小”，因为，有一天，当你回首往事，你会发现那些看似微不足道的“小”，才是真正的“大”。

28.Anyone can make a difference. Making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world.

人人都能改变世界。让人微笑并不会改变整个世界，但会改变他（她）自己的世界。

29.Everything is a life lesson. Everyone you meet, everything you encounter, etc. They’re all part of the learning experience we call ‘life.’ Never forget to acknowledge the lesson, especially when things don’t go your way. If you don’t get a job that you wanted or a relationship doesn’t work, it only means something better is out there waiting. And the lesson you just learned is the first step towards it.

生活中，到处都是学堂。每一个你遇见的人、每一件你经历的事情等等，它们共同组成了这样一个大学堂，我们称之为“人生”。你应该感谢它们，特别是当你遇到不顺时。如果你找不到心仪的工作，人际关系不和谐，不要担心，这意味着有更好的正在远处等着你。就在刚才，你已经学会了一课，那就是勇敢得迈出第一步。

30.Regardless of how filthy your past has been, your future is still spotless. Don’t start your day with the broken pieces of yesterday. Every day is a fresh start. Each day is a new beginning. Every morning we wake up is the first day of the rest of our life.

不管你的过去有多糟糕，你的未来仍是一尘未染的。不要带着昨日的残片来开心今天的生活。每一天都是新的开始。每天早上醒来，又是余下人生的第一天。
