You are What You DO
行為決定命運
很多人說,思維決定命運,也有人說,性格決定命運。
但不管是思維還是性格,體現(xiàn)在每天的生活中,便是你的表現(xiàn)出來的行為。
我們每個人都渴求知道自己最終的命運和歸宿。
但命運,時時刻刻,都緊緊掌握在你的自己的手中。
而決定這一切的,就是你當下的所思所做。
過去的你,也許會犯錯,但是當下這一刻,才是決定你未來命運的關(guān)鍵。
If the past has taught us anything, it is that every cause brings effect, every action has a consequence.
過去的日子若曾經(jīng)教過我們些什么的話,那便是有因必有果,每一個行為都有一種結(jié)果。
This thought, in my opinion, is the moral foundation of the universe;
依我之見,這種想法是宇宙的道德基礎(chǔ):
it applies equally in this world and the next.
它不僅適用于今生也適用于來世。
We Chinese have a saying: "If a man plants melons, he will reap melons; if he sows beans, he will reap beans."
我們中國人有句諺語說:“種瓜得瓜,種豆得豆?!?br />And this is true of every man's life: good begets good,and evil leads to evil.
而這就是每個人生活的.寫照:善有善報,惡有惡報。
True enough, the sun shines on the saint and sinner alike, and too often it seems that the wicked wax and prosper.
說實在,圣人與罪人皆會受到陽光的澤被,而且常常似乎是惡者大行其道。
But we can say with certitude that, with the individual as with the nation, the flourishing of the wicked is an illusion,
但是我們可以確信地說,不管是對個人或是對國家而言,惡人猖獗只是一種幻象,
for, unceasingly,life keeps books on us all.
因為生命無時無刻不將我們的所作所為像賬本一樣一筆一筆記錄下來。
In the end, we are all the sum total of our actions.
到最后,我們就是我們的行為總合。
Character cannot be counterfeited, nor can it be put on and cast off as if it were a garment to meet the whim of the moment.
品德是無法偽裝的,也無法像衣服一樣隨興地穿上或脫下來丟在一邊。
Like the markings on wood which are ingrained in the very heart of the tree, character requires time and nurture for growth and development.
就像木頭的紋路發(fā)自于樹木的中心深處,品德的成長與發(fā)育也需要時間和滋養(yǎng)。
Thus also, day by day, we write our own destiny,for inexorably we become what we do.
也因此,我們?nèi)諒?fù)一日地寫下我們自己的命運,因為我們的 所為將不留情面地決定我們的命運。
This,I believe,is the supreme logic and the law of life.
我相信這就是最高的邏輯及人生的法則。
