　　今天我们分享的是生命中的五个球。

　　Five Balls of Life
　　生命中的五个球
　　Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling 1 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.
　　想象生命是一场不停丢掷五个球于空中的游戏。这五个球分别为工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵，而且你很努力地掷着这五个球，不让它们落地。很快地你会了解工作是一个橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它，它还是会弹回来。
　　But the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed 2, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?
　　但是家庭、健康、朋友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。一旦你失手落下，它们可能会少了一角，留下无法挽回的记号、刻痕、损坏甚至碎落一地。它们将永远不会跟以前一样。你必须了解这个道理，并且为平衡你的生命而努力。但要怎么才做得到呢？
　　?
　　Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
　　别人认为重要的事不一定是你的目标。只有你才知道什么最适合你。
　　Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
　　不要将贴近你的心的人、事物视为理所当然的存在。你必须将他们视为你的生命一般好好地抓牢他们。没有他们，生命将失去意义。
　　Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds 3 us to each together.
　　别害怕承认你并非完美。正因如此，我们才得以藉由这脆弱的细丝紧密地串绑在一起。
　　Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
　　别害怕遇到危险。正因如此，我们才得以藉由这些机会学习勇敢。
　　Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
　　别以爱太难找到作为借口而紧闭你的心扉。最迅速找到爱的方法就是给予你的爱；最快速失去爱的方法就是紧紧地守着你的爱不放；维持爱的最好方式就是给爱一双翅膀。
　　Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
　　莫要匆忙地度过你的一生，那匆忙让你忘了曾经到过哪里，也让你忘了你要去哪里。
　　Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
　　莫忘记，人类情感上最大的需要是感恩。
