第13章 The True Meaning of Life 生命的真谛

Anonymous

心灵寄语

生命是一场幻觉,别离或死亡是它唯一的结局。生命却又那么真实,所有的不幸和伤痛都历历在目。生命只是个抽象的概念,却赋予了躯体最深刻的灵魂。生命又是种神秘的力量,它无影无形却又无所不在。

It takes only a minute to get crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone. But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don"t go for looks;they can deceive1. Don"t go for wealth, even that fades away2. Go for someone who makes you smile. Because it only takes a smile to make a dark day seems bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Maybe we meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful3 for that gift.

It is true that we don"t know what we"ve got until we lose it, but it"s also true that we don"t know what we"ve been missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love will not provide assurance4 that they"ll love you back. Don"t expect love in return;just wait for it to grow in their hearts. But if it doesn"t, be content. It grew in yours.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow5 to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest people don"t necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Happiness is for those who cry, those who have searched, and those who have tried because only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

佚名

迷恋上一个人,只需一分钟;喜欢上一个人,只需一小时;爱上一个人,只需一天;但是,忘记一个人,却需要一生的时间。

不要追求外表,因为外表往往具有欺骗性;不要追求财富,因为财富终有一天会消逝。寻找能使你微笑的人,因为微笑可以驱散阴霾,重现光明。去寻找使你心灵微笑的人。

也许上帝安排我们先遇到一些不合适的人,只有这样,当我们遇到命中注定的那个人的时候,才会感激上帝的馈赠。

我们往往只有在失去之后才懂得珍惜,事实确实如此,但是我们也只有在获得之后才懂得自己需要的是什么。

我们向一个人全身心地付出自己的爱,却无法保证你爱的人也同样爱你。不要期待爱的回报,要慢慢等待爱在对方心里生根发芽。即使你没有等到那一天,也不要抱怨,因为至少爱已经在你的心中成长。

在生活中,有些时候你会如此地想念一个人,以至于希望一切不是在梦境中,而是真真实实地将其拥抱!

愿你拥有的幸福足以让自己觉得甜蜜;愿你的经历足以让自己变得坚强;愿你体会过的悲痛足以让自己懂得仁慈;愿你心中的希望足以让自己体味幸福。

最幸福的人并不一定拥有这世间最美好的一切,他们只是最大程度地享受着生活所给予的一切。

幸福是掌握在那些痛哭过,寻求过和努力过的人手里的,因为只有这些人才懂得去珍惜他们生命中的每一个人。

幸福小贴士

1.多和朋友在一起。亲密的人际关系,是你幸福感的信号,最有可能为你带来幸福。

2.学会接受失败。成功没有捷径,历史上有成就的人,总是敢于行动,也会经常失败,不要让对失败的恐惧,绊住你尝试新事物的脚步。

3.有规律地锻炼。体育活动是你生活中最重要的事情之一,每周只要3次,每次只要30分钟,就能大大改善你的身心健康。

4.注重睡眠。虽然有时“熬通宵”是不可避免的,但每天7小时~9小时的睡眠是一笔非常棒的投资。这样在醒着的时候,你会更有效率,更有创造力,也会更开心。

5.慷慨。“给予”和“接受”是一件事的两个方面,当我们帮助自己时,也是在间接地帮助他人。

6.表达感激。生活中不要把你的家人,朋友,健康,教育等这一切当成理所当然的,这都是你回味无穷的礼物,记录他人的点滴恩惠,始终保持感恩的心。
