Today I will be master of my emotions.

 

今天我學(xué)會(huì)控制情緒。

 

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，冬去春來，夏末秋至，日出日落，月圓月缺，雁來雁往，花飛花謝，草長瓜熟，自然界萬物都在循環(huán)往復(fù)的變化中，我也不例外，情緒會(huì)時(shí)好時(shí)壞。

It is one of nature's tricks, little understood, that each day I awaken with moods that have changed from yesterday. Yesterday's joy wilI become today's sadness; yet today's sadness will grow into tomorrow's joy. Inside me is a wheel, constantly turning from sadness to joy, from exultation to depression, from happiness to melancholy. Like the flowers, today's full bloom of joy will fade and wither into despondency, yet I will remember that as today's dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow's bloom so, too, does today's sadness carry the seed of tomorrow's joy.

 

這是大自然的玩笑，很少有人窺破天機(jī)。每天我醒來時(shí)，不再有舊日的心情。昨日的快樂變成今天的哀愁，今天的悲傷又轉(zhuǎn)為明日的喜悅。我心中像一只輪子不停地轉(zhuǎn)著，由樂而悲，由悲而喜，由喜而憂。這就好比花兒的變化，今天枯敗的花兒蘊(yùn)藏著明天新生的種子，今天的悲傷也預(yù)示著明天的快樂。

And how will I master these emotions so that each day will be productive? For unless mymood is right the day will be a failure. Trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish but I make my own weather, yea I transport it with me. 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. 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.

 

我怎樣才能控制情緒，以使每天卓有成效呢？除非我心平氣和，否則迎來的又將是失敗的一天?；ú輼淠?，隨著氣候的變化而生長，但是我為自己創(chuàng)造天氣。我要學(xué)會(huì)用自己的心靈彌補(bǔ)氣候的不足。如果我為顧客帶來風(fēng)雨、憂郁、黑暗和悲觀，那么他們也會(huì)報(bào)之于風(fēng)雨、憂郁、黑暗和悲觀，而他們什么也不會(huì)買。相反的，如果我們?yōu)轭櫩瞳I(xiàn)上歡樂、喜悅、光明和笑聲，他們也會(huì)報(bào)之以歡樂、喜悅、光明和笑聲，我就能獲得銷售上的豐收，賺取成倉的金幣。

And how will I master my emotions so that every day is a happy day, and a productive one? 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. 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-

 

我怎樣才能控制情緒，讓每天充滿幸福和歡樂？我要學(xué)會(huì)這個(gè)千古秘訣：弱者任思緒控制行為，強(qiáng)者讓行控制思緒。每天醒來當(dāng)我被悲傷、自憐、失敗的情緒包圍時(shí)，我就這樣與之對(duì)抗：

Henceforth, I will know that only those with inferior ability can always be at their best, and I am not inferior. There will be days When I must IN THE WORLD constantly struggle against forces which would tear me down. 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-

 

從今往后，我明白了，只有低能者才會(huì)江郎才盡，我并非低能者，我必須不斷對(duì)抗那限些企圖摧垮我的力量。失望與悲傷一眼就會(huì)被識(shí)破，而其它許多敵人是不易覺察的。它們往往面帶微笑，卻隨時(shí)可能將我們摧垮。對(duì)它們，我們永遠(yuǎn)不能放松警惕。

And with this new knowledge I will also understand and recognize the moods of him on whom I call. I will make allowances for his anger and irritation of today for he knows not the secret of controlling his mind. I can withstand his arrows and insults for now I know that tomorrow he will change and be a joy to approach.

 

有了這項(xiàng)新本領(lǐng)，我也更能體察別人的情緒變化。我寬容怒氣沖沖的人，因?yàn)樗形炊每刂谱约旱那榫w，就可以忍受他的指責(zé)與辱罵，因?yàn)槲抑烂魈焖麜?huì)改變，重新變得隨和。

 

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. My knowledge of this secret will be my key to great wealth.

 

我不再只憑一面之交來判斷一個(gè)人，也不再一時(shí)的怨恨與人絕交，今天不肯花一分錢買金蓬馬車的人，明天也許會(huì)用全部家當(dāng)換樹苗。知道了這個(gè)秘密，我可以獲得極大的財(cái)富。

我從此領(lǐng)悟人類情緒的變化的奧秘。對(duì)于自己千變?nèi)f化的個(gè)性，我不再聽之任之，我知道，只有積極主動(dòng)地控制情緒，才能掌握自己的命運(yùn)。
