11.Someone will always be better looking. Someone will always be smarter. Someone will always be more charismatic. But they will never be you – with your exact ideas, knowledge and skills.
11.總會有人比你漂亮，總會有人比你聰明，總會有人比你有魅力。這些人都不是你，他們不會擁有你所擁有的思想、知識和技能。

12.Making progress involves risk. Period. You can’t make it to second base with your foot on first.
12.前進中總會有風(fēng)險。沒什么好多說的。你總不可能腳還踩在一壘上就想跑到二壘吧。

（小編注：period在這里是標點符號句號的意思，通常在句末出現(xiàn)，表示就到這里，沒什么可說的了，詳情請見【美劇日?？谡Z】你會用“標點符號”說話嗎？ 一壘、二壘都是棒球術(shù)語，棒球比賽中有四個壘，從擊球點（本壘）起反時鐘方向跑，依次是一壘、二壘（在本壘對角）和三壘。一般擊球后成功達到一壘是為“安打”，如果球擊得很遠，球員可以冒險沖向二壘。）

13.Every morning you are faced with two choices: You can aimlessly stumble through the day not knowing what’s going to happen and simply react to events at a moment’s notice, or you can go through the day directing your own life and making your own decisions and destiny.
13.每天早上你都有兩個選擇：一是虛度光陰、碌碌無為，不知道一天會發(fā)生什么事，只是等到事情迫在眉睫了才勉強應(yīng)對。或者你可以自己掌控一切，包括你的生活、決定和命運。

14.Everyone makes mistakes. If you can’t forgive others, don’t expect others to forgive you. To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover the prisoner was you.
14.人非圣賢，孰能無過。你不原諒別人，又怎么能希望別人會原諒你。寬恕就是釋放囚犯，這個囚犯不是別人，正是你自己。

15.It’s okay to fall apart for a little while. You don’t always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is going well. You shouldn’t be concerned with what other people are thinking either – cry if you need to – it’s healthy to shed your tears. The sooner you do, the sooner you will be able to smile again.
15.偶爾崩潰一小下是可以的，你不必總是假裝堅強，證明一切都運行正常。不需要去理會別人的想法，想哭就哭，流淚對身體有好處。早點流淚，就能早點再次微笑。

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.
16.有時候，我們因為一時的失意而做出讓我們后悔終身的傻事。只要學(xué)會控制自己的情緒，很多讓我們心痛的事都是可以避免的。

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.
17.你是對的，別人不一定就是錯的。對有很多種不同方式，你不能通過自己的經(jīng)歷來判斷別人。每個人的生活都不一樣。對這個人是好事，對那個人可能不是。對某個人來說是件壞事，對另一個人而言卻是好事。你要允許別人犯錯，也要允許別人自己做決定。

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.
18.人無完人，人無須成完人。大家都過得不容易，你永遠不會知道別人都在經(jīng)歷著些什么。每個人都有自己的事情要做。所以，別輕視自己，也別輕視他人。每個人都在打自己的仗。

19.A smile doesn’t always mean a person is happy. Sometimes it simply means they are strong enough to face their problems.
19.微笑不代表快樂，有時，微笑僅僅說明我們足夠強大去面對問題。

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.
20.我認識的最快樂的人，他們思想開放，勇于接受新事物、新挑戰(zhàn)，他們會利用業(yè)余時間來提升心智，喜歡悠揚的音樂、智慧的書籍、漂亮的畫卷、優(yōu)秀的伙伴和睿智的談話。通常，他們也是別人快樂的來源，對我尤其如此。
