Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling 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. But the other
four balls—family ,health , friends and spirit—are made of glass . if you drop one of these, they will be irrvocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same.
想象生命是一种往空中抛五个球的游戏,你把这五个球分别取名为:工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵,而且你要努力不让它们落地。你很快会了解到工作是一个橡皮球。如果你让它落地了,它还是会反弹起来。但是,家庭、健康、朋友和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的。如果你让它们掉到地上,它们将会不可避免地遭到磨损,留下印记、划痕,摔破甚至碎落一地。它们将永远不会跟以前一样。

Life is not a race , but a journey to be savored each step of the way . Yesterday is History , Tomorrow is a Mystery And Today is Gift....

生活不是一场赛跑,而是每一步都需体味的旅程。昨天已成历史,明天还未可知,而今天则是一份礼物:那就是我们为什么称它为“当下”。
