Life Is a Game

Image life as a game in which you are playing some five balls in the air. You name them --work, family, health, friends and spirit, and you

’re keeping all these balls in the air.

You understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other one are made by glass. If you drop one of

these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, damaged or even broken into pieces. They will never be the same. You must learn to strive

for balance in your life. How?

Don't undermine（破坏） your worth by comparing yourself to others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people consider important. Only you know what the best for you.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are the less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks .It is by taking chances that we learn how to brave.
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.
Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Don't be afraid to learn .Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
Don't let life slip through your fingers （从指缝中溜走）by living in the past or in the future. By living your life one day at a time, you

live all the days of your life.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be enjoyed slowly each step of the way. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a

gift. That’s why we call it --the present.


生活就像一场游戏，在这个游戏中，你把五只球抛向空中，并喊着他们各自的名字——工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵。你现在正在做的就是让这五只球始终

停留在空中。
你明白“工作”是只橡皮球，即使你没有接住它，它也会反弹回来。但其他四个球都是用玻璃做成的，一旦你不小心使它们其中一个落在了地上，那将会在它

身上造成不可拭去的磨损、划痕、缺口，甚至是摔得粉碎，再也无法恢复到原来的样子。因此，你必须学着尽可能地平衡自己的生活。但应该如何去做呢？

不要攀比他人而妄自菲薄。每个人都是独一无二的，每个人都很特别。
不要跟随大众的价值观去设定自己的目标。只有你才知道什么最适合自己。
不要在仍有余力的时候就选择放弃。在你停止尝试之前，没有什么事会真正地失败。
不要害怕承认自己的不完美。正是这根缺憾之线使我们彼此紧紧相连。
不要在冒险面前胆怯。正因如此我们才学会勇敢面对。
不要因为找不到真爱而把它弃之门外。最快得到的爱的途径是付出爱；最快丢失爱的原因是拴紧爱；最好留住爱的方式是让爱自由。
不要忘记，一个人最大的精神需求就是感到被人赏识。
不要害怕学习。知识是没有重量的珍宝，你总能轻松携带。
不要肆意地耗费时间或是运用言辞。两者皆失不可复得。
不要因追恋过去或妄想未来而让生命从指缝间溜走。踏实地过好每一天，才能享受自己的一辈子。
不要使自己的生活节奏过快而忘记了自己身在何处，将去何方。

生活不是一场竞赛，而是一段旅途，需要慢慢享受途中的每一步。昨天是历史，明天是未知，而今天才是生命的礼物。因此我们称它为“Present ”。
