Five balls of life

I magine life as a game in which you are juggling（ 耍 弄 ）some five balls in the air.You name them work， family， health， friends and spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air.You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.If you drop it，it will bounce back.

But the other four balls—family， health， friends and spirit are made of glass.If you drop one of these，they will be irrevocably（不可挽回地）scuffed（磨損），marked，nicked （劃傷），damaged or even shattered（粉碎）.They will never be the same.You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.How?

Don't undermine（逐漸削弱）your worth by comparing yourself with others.It is because we are different and each of us is special.

Don't set your goals by what other people deem（認(rèn)為）important.Only you know what is best for you.

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.By living your life one day at a time，you live all the days of your life.

Yesterday is history， Tomorrow is a mystery， and Today is a gift:that's why we call it“The Present”.

想象生命是一場(chǎng)不停丟擲五個(gè)球于空中的游戲。這五個(gè)球分別為工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心靈，而且你很努力地?cái)S著這五個(gè)球，不讓它們落地。很快你會(huì)了解到工作是一個(gè)橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它，它還是會(huì)彈回來。

但是家庭、健康、朋友和心靈這四個(gè)球是用玻璃做成的。一旦你失手落下，它們會(huì)留下無法挽回的磨損、記號(hào)、刻痕、損壞，甚至粉碎。它們將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)跟以前一樣。你必須了解這個(gè)道理，并且為平衡你的生命而努力。但要怎么才做得到呢？

別拿自己和他人比較，這只會(huì)降低了你原有的價(jià)值。因?yàn)槲覀兌际仟?dú)一無二的，因?yàn)槲覀兠恳粋€(gè)人都很特別。

別人認(rèn)為重要的事不一定是你的目標(biāo)。只有你才知道什么最適合你。

別讓你的生命總在依戀過去種種或是寄望未來中逝去。如果你活在每個(gè)當(dāng)下，你就活出了生命中的每一天。

過去已成歷史，未來充滿未知。今天是份禮物：那就是我們稱之為“禮物”的原因。
