The tides advance; the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes. Summer wanes and the cold increases. The sun rises; the sun sets. The moon is full; the moon is black. The birds arrive; the birds depart. Flowers bloom; flowers fade. Seeds are sown; harvests are reaped. all nature is a circle of moods and I am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise; my moods will fall.潮起潮落,冬去春来,夏末秋至,日出日落,月圆月缺,雁来雁往,花飞花谢,草长瓜熟,自然界万物都在循环往复的变化中,我也不例外,情绪会时好时坏。Today I will be master of my emotions.今天我学会控制情绪。And how will I master these emotions so that each day will be productive? For unless my mood is right the day will be a failure.我怎样才能控制情绪,以使每天卓有成效呢?除非我心平气和,否则迎来的又将是失败的一天。Trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish but I make my own weather, yet I transport it with me.花草树木,随着气候的变化而生长,但是我为自己创造天气。If I bring rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism to my customers then they will react with rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism and they will purchase naught.我要学会用自己的心灵弥补气候的不足。如果我为顾客带来风雨、忧郁、黑暗和悲观,那么他们也会报之于风雨、忧郁、黑暗和悲观,而他们什么也不会买。If I bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter to my customers they will react with joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter and my weather will produce a harvest of sales and a granary of gold for me.相反的,如果我们为顾客献上欢乐、喜悦、光明和笑声,他们也会报之以欢乐、喜悦、光明和笑声,我就能获得销售上的丰收,赚取成仓的金币。Today I will be master of my emotions.今天我学会控制情绪。And how will I master my emotions so that every day is a happy day, and a productive one?我怎样才能控制情绪,让每天充满幸福和欢乐?I will learn this secret of the ages: Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts.我要学会这个千古秘诀:弱者任思绪控制行为,强者让行为控制思绪。Each day, when I awaken, I will follow this plan of battle before I am captured by the forces of sadness, self-pity and failure-每天醒来当我被悲伤、自怜、失败的情绪包围时,我就这样与之对抗:If I feel depressed I will sing.沮丧时,我引吭高歌。If I feel sad I will laugh.悲伤时,我开怀大笑。If I feel ill I will double my labor.病痛时,我加倍工作。If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.恐惧时,我勇往直前。If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.自卑时,我换上新装。If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.不安时,我提高嗓声。If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.穷困潦倒时,我想象未来的富有。If I feel incompetent I will remember past success.力不从心时,我回想过去的成功。If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.自轻自贱时,我想想自己的目标。Today I will be master of my emotions.总之,今天我要学会控制自己的情绪。There will be days When I must IN THE WORLD constantly struggle against forces which would tear me down.失望与悲伤一眼就会被识破,而其它许多敌人是不易觉察的。Those such as despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there are others which approach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can also destroy me. Against them, too, I must never relinquish control:它们往往面带微笑,却随时可能将我们摧垮。对它们,我们永远不能放松警惕。If I become overconfident I will recall my failures.自高自大时,我要追寻失败的记忆。If I overindulge I will think of past hungers.纵情得意时,我要记得挨饿的日子。If I feel complacency I will remember my competition.洋洋得意时,我要想想竞争的对手。If I enjoy moments of greatness I will remember moments of shame.沾沾自喜时,不要忘了那忍辱的时刻。If I feel all-powerful I will try to stop the wind.自以为是时,看看自己能否让步驻步。If I attain great wealth I will remember one unfed mouth.腰缠万贯时,想想那些食不果腹的人。If I become overly proud I will remember a moment of weakness.骄傲自满时,要想到自己怯懦的时候。If I feel my skill is unmatched I will look at the stars.不可一世时,让我抬头,仰望群星。Today I will be master of my emotions.今天我学会控制情绪。And with this new knowledge I will also understand and recognize the moods of him on whom I call.有了这项新本领,我也更能体察别人的情绪变化。I will make allowances for his anger and irritation of today for he knows not the secret of controlling his mind.I can with stand his arrows and insults for now I know that tomorrow he will change and be a joy to approach.我宽容怒气冲冲的人,因为他尚未懂得控制自己的情绪,就可以忍受他的指责与辱骂,因为我知道明天他会改变,重新变得随和。No longer will I judge a man on one meeting; no longer will I fail to call again tomorrow on he who meets me with hate today. This day he will not buy gold chariots for a penny, yet tomorrow he would exchange his home for a tree.我不再只凭一面之交来判断一个人,也不再一时的怨恨与人绝交,今天不肯花一分钱买金蓬马车的人,明天也许会用全部家当换树苗。My knowledge of this secret will be my key to great wealth.知道了这个秘密,我可以获得极大的财富。出自《每天读一点英文之那些给我勇气的句子》编译:章华
