英汉智慧语录 English and Chinese Brainy Quotes
Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it. We have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for the day.
言语无法充分表达我们对生活的态度所产生的难以置信的影响。我活得越久，就越确信生活10% 取决于发生在我们身上的事，90%取决于我们如何应对它。值得注意的是，我们每天都可以选择以什么样的态度度过这一天。
Cultivate your own capabilities, your own style. Appreciate the members of your family for who they are, even though their outlook or style may be miles different from yours. Rabbits don’t fly. Eagles don’t swim. Ducks look funny trying to climb. Squirrels don’t have feathers. Stop comparing. There’s plenty of room in the forest.
培养自己的能力，自己的风格。欣赏家庭成员本来的样子，即使他们的外表或风格可能与你大相径庭。兔子不会飞；鹰不游泳；鸭子爬上去看起来很滑稽；松鼠没有羽毛。停止与他人比较。森林里有足够的空间。
If we choose to be offended when we don’t get our own way,
Then we’re going to live constantly on the edge of anger.

It’ll make all the difference in the world.

那么我们就会一直生活在愤怒的边缘。
但如果我们对自己说:“一颗快乐的心像药一样有益。”
这将使世界大不相同。

给人鼓励真是太棒了。想想，鼓励有能力举起一个男人或一个女人的肩膀。向未燃尽余烬的梦想里输入新鲜空气。真正改变另一个人的一天、一周或一生。
Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.
