1. Feeling in Snow
As
soon as
I walked
outside, I was
greeted with
the shimmering white
blanket
of
cold.
Despite
the
chill
overwhelming
my
skin,
inside
I
was
warm.
I felt
as though
I
could be
giving
off heat;
I had the desire to stay out
in
this
freeze
for
hours.
It
was
the
type
of
day
that
speaks
to
you
through
its elements; I took
a deep breath to hear more snow was coming.
As I walked I
looked up, trying to realize what made this day so
beautiful, so serene. It was as if time
had been put temporarily on hold
and I
alon
g with it. Or maybe I was the only
one unpaused?Either way,
the
solitude
was
comforting,
and
I
sensed
myself
floating
away.
I
sat
down
on the
edge of a curb and listened. All there was to hear
was the wind
rushing over the top of my
head and circling some old, cracking leaves
some yards away. To me it was the
reassuring sound of nature, trying not
to be forgotten.
It did start to snow. None
of those little flurries, but big, fat
flakes which clung immediately to their
surface.
Then
it was time to go and my reverie had to end. As I
began walking
again, I drifted back
into this time frame, calm and cleared.
Now if only I
could remember where I was going.

刚出门，便扑面而来一大片晶莹雪
白的冰凉。冷气袭来，肌肤阵阵战栗，而
内心却温暖如初。
觉得
自己似乎能发热，
因而渴望在这寒冷中长时间驻足。
这是
一个大自然与你交流的日子。我深深地吸了一口气，静听雪花飘落，源源不绝。
漫步雪中，
举目四顾，
我努力思索是什么竟然能够把这一天变得如此美丽和
宁静。
那一刻，
时间仿佛静止了，
而我也定在其中。
或者，
只有我一个人在前行??
无论如何，
这种孤寂却令人欣慰。
我仿佛脱离了尘世。
坐在路边，
仔细聆听。
只有风从头顶掠过，卷走几码远的干
枯树叶。在我心中，这是大自然给人安慰、
令人难忘的声音。
真的下雪了
!
不是零星小雪，而是鹅毛大雪，一落地就凝结在一起了。
该结束沉思离开了
!
我举步前行时，思绪又转回到现实中来，而此时感觉如
此平静，如此清新。
我实在记不得我要往何处去了
!

生活的乐趣
Joy
in
living
comes
from
having
fine
emotions,
trusting
them,
giving
them
the
freedom
of
a
bird
in
the
open.
Joy
in
living
can
never
be
assumed
as a pose, or put
on from
the outside as
a mask.
People
who have this
joy
don not need to talk about it; they
radiate it. They just live out their
joy
and
let
it
splash
its
sunlight
and
glow
into
other
lives
as
naturally
as
bird sings.
We
can never get it by working for it directly. It
comes, like
happiness,
to
those
who
are
aiming
at
something
higher.
It
is
a
byproduct
of great, simple
living. The joy of living comes from what we put
into
living, not from what we seek to
get from it.
中文翻译：
生活之乐趣来源于良好的情绪，
信赖
这些情绪，
并任由它们如同鸟儿高翔于
天空般地自由自在。
生活的乐趣是无法靠姿态摆出来的，
也无法用戴上一张面具
来伪装。
拥有这种乐趣的人们无需挂在嘴边，
他们自然会焕发出快乐的气息。
他们自己生活在快乐当中，
也将
这样的快乐自然而然地感染着他人，
犹如是鸟儿
就必将歌唱。<
/p>
直接追求
生活的乐趣却只会使乐趣远离我们，
它与幸福一样青睐胸有大志的
人们。
生活过得高雅、
简单便会产生出乐趣。
它是我们对生活的投入，
而非所求。

我命运，我把握
(
不断超越自己
)
正如世界上没有两片相同的叶子，我们每个人都是独一无二的
。相信自己，
命运就掌握在我们的手中。
Consider?
YOU.
In
all
time
before
now
and
in
all
time
to
come,
there
has never been and
will never be anyone just like you. You are unique
in
the entire history and
future of the
universe. Wow!
Stop
and think about
that.
You're
better
than
one
in
a
million,
or
a
billion,
or
a
gazillion?
You are the
only one like you in a sea of infinity!
You're amazing!
You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As
amazing
and
awesome
as
you
already
are,
you
can
be
even
more
so.
Beautiful
young
people
are
the
whimsey
of
nature,
but
beautiful
old
people
are
true
works
of
art.
But
you
don't
become
just
by
virtue
of
the
aging
process.
