你是独一无二的你
I will never forget the
lessen which Mr. Li gave us. One day Mr. Li was
speaking to us in our school
meeting room. He
began his speech by holding up a ￥100 bill. He
asked, ￥100

Most of us put up our
hands quickly. Then he said, ￥ 100 to one of you,
but
first let me do this.

he said, “Wait a moment.” He then dropped it On
the floor and stepped on it.
After that, he
picked up the dirty bill and said,
“Who
still wants it” Many hands were still up.
friends,he said, have learned a valuable lesson
today. No matter what I did to the
money, you
still wanted it because it did not go down in
value. It was still worth ￥10O.
worth
nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened
to you, you will never lose your value:
you
are always valuable to those people who love.
you,. Your value doesn't come from what you do
or who you know, but WHO YOU ARE.
。
我难以忘怀李老师给我们上的那一课。有一天天，他在学校的会议室给我们做了一次演讲。
他手持一百美元，开始了他的讲话。“谁想要这100美元”他问道。
绝大部分的
学生迅速举手。接下来，他说：“我会把这一百美元给你们之中的一个人，但
是，我先得做点什么。”
他将这张钞票揉成一团（这里个人觉得应该这样翻译比较准确）后
说道：“现在，谁还要这100美元”
学生再一次举起手来。 但是，他又说：“请稍等片
刻。”
他将钞票扔到地上用脚踩它，之后，他拾起这张脏了的钞票问道：
“谁还要它”很多人依然举手。
“我的孩子们”，他说道，“今天，你们得到了宝贵的一课
。不管我怎么对待这张钞票，你
们依然想要得到它，这是因为我并没有贬低它的价值。它仍然是一张价值
一百元的钞票。”
“我们总是与生命中许多机会失之交臂。”他接着说道，“我们觉得自己
没有价值，但是，
要牢记，无论发生什么，我们的价值仍然存在，对于爱着你的人们来说，你有很大的价
值，你
的价值并不来源于你的出身还有你的作为，仅仅来源与你自身。”
“别忘了，你是珍贵而特殊的存在。”
寓意：正如世界上没有两片相同的叶子，
我们每个人都是独一无二的。相信自己，命运就掌
握在我们的手中。
Դ:
You Love Her Enough 只要你爱得够深
Դ: friend John
always has something to tell me. He knows so much
that young men have to have
older and more
worldly wise men to tell them. For instance who to
trust, how to care for others, and
how
to live life to the fullest. Recently, John lost
his wife Janet. For eight years she fought against
cancer, but in the end her sickness had the
last word.
我的一个朋友约翰总是有很多话和我说。他深知年轻人需要年长的
、有见识的人来教会他们一
些事情，诸如应该相信谁，怎样关心别人，以及怎样让自己的生命尽其所能。
最近，约翰的妻
子珍妮特去世了。八年来，珍妮特一直与癌症抗争，但是最后去还是无法从病魔的手中逃
出。
One day John took out a folded piece
of paper from his wallet. He had found it, so he
told me, when
he tidied up some drawers at
home. It was a small love letter Janet had
written. The note could look
like a school
girl's scrawls about her dream guy. All that was
missing was a drawing of a heart with the
names John and Janet written in it. But the
small letter was written by a woman who had had
seven
children; a woman who fought for her
life and who probably only had a few months left
to live.
有一天，约翰从他的钱包拿出一张折叠着的纸。他告诉我，这是他在家
里清理抽屉的时候无意
找到的。这是一份珍妮特的小情书，我们会以为它可能不过是学生妹对自己的白马
王子的胡言
乱语罢了。但是这份小情书里面却尽是约翰和珍妮特之间款款深情的见证，这是一个有七个孩
子的女人写的，她与病魔奋力抗争，即使她知道自己可能只有几个月的时间了。
It was also a beautiful recipe for how to keep
a marriage together. Janet's description of her
husband
begins thus:
这也是对于如何维系婚姻的最好解答
。珍妮特对于自己丈夫的描述是这样开始的：“始终深爱
我，不辞辛劳地照顾我，无论何时都关心我。”
Even though John always had a ready
answer, he never joked about cancer apparently.
Sometimes he
came home in the evening to find
Janet in the middle of one of those depressions
cancer patients so
often get. In no time he
got her into the car and drove her to her
favourite restaurant.
即使约翰的心中一直都对珍妮特的病情清
楚，但他从来不拿癌症的事情开玩笑。有的时候他晚
上回到家，发现珍妮特再一次处在癌症带来的沮丧之
中的时候，他每次都会送她上车，然后去
她最爱的饭馆好好开心一下。
He
showed consideration for her, and she knew it. You
cannot hide something for someone who
knows
better.
of the horrible and
wonderful lulls. Where everything is -- almost --
as it used to be, before the
sickness broke
out, and where it doesn't hurt to hope that
everything is over, maybe forever.
他关心她，而珍妮特或许比约翰更深知这份关心。这就是所谓的
你不可能把一些感情藏起来，
因为对方比你更了解你。
“在我需要的时候一直关心
着我。”接下来的一句这样写到。或许珍妮特是在癌症有所缓解的
时候写下这些文字的。癌症还没有被发
现的时候，两人的生活日复一日，都以为日子会这样继
续，如果可以甚至希望永远。
“对我总是很包容。”
“始终在我身边陪伴。”
And a
piece of good advice for everyone who looks on
giving constructive criticism as a kind of sacred
duty:
After that she has
turned over the paper and added:
And then she
writes about the husband she has lived with and
loved the most of her life:
there for me when
I needed you.
The last words she wrote sum up
all the others. I can see her for me where she
adds thoughtfully:
接下来一句对于那些喜欢给对方一些建设
性批评的人很有借鉴作用，他们以为批评是一种神圣
的责任，其实不然：“总是会夸奖我。”
“总是可以让我得到我想要的。”她紧接着写到。
这句之后她翻过纸在背面补充到
：“热情、幽默、善良、体贴。”而她最爱这个和她生活的丈
夫的一点是：“他总是会在你需要的时候出
现。”
I stand beside John now, and cannot
even pretend to know how it feels to lose someone
who is as
close to me as Janet was to him. I
need to hear what he has to say much more than he
needs to talk.
I ask. do you stick
together with someone through 38 years -- not to
mention the
sickness How do I know if I
can bear to stand by my wife's side if she becomes
sick one day
我站在约翰的身边，我不能装作我知道失去至
爱的感受，就像约翰失去珍妮特一样。我想听一
听他真正想说的是什么，而不是那些他不得不说的套话。
我说：“约翰，即使不说癌症的那些日子，你怎么可以和一个人生活38年毫无厌倦呢如果有
一
天我的妻子也得病，我怎么知道自己能不能一直守候在她的身边呢”
他平静地说：“你一定可以，只要你爱得够深。”

Do
you know that you can gain success over any
difficult situation in your life by thinking
positive
Welcome to Faith Radio Online-
Simply to Relax, I’m Faith. Yes you can...
The main reason that people fail in
what they do is because of that negative mind set
that holds them
from behind. Way deep inside
their mind, somewhere in their subconscious, there
is a negative
feeling which says: you can’t do
it or you can’t win over that situation, or can’t
hold that much, or you
are going to
fail, that’s what makes them fail.
Think
Positive-be positive.
When you are
positive in your mission inside, that positive
rays will reflect not only on your face but
also in what you do and you are going to
overcome whatever difficult situation, however
tough it may
be...
That’s the Power
of Positive Thinking!
This is Faith at
Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax,. Thinking
positive and being positive in your life can
earn you a lot; everything is possible when
you sort out the negative and think positive in
your life!
Emphasizing the positive
about ourselves helps us to maintain a positive
self-image, and enables us to
focus on what is
good about ourselves and our lives.
Such
a healthy state also gives us a much more relaxed
demeanor in our dealings with other people as
they respond to our positive energy, seeing us
as strong and confident people.

Home Thoughts From
Abroad
by Robert Browning
Oh,
to be in England now that April's there,
And whoever wakes in England sees, some
morning, unaware,
That the lowest boughs
and the brushwood sheaf
Round the elm-
tree bole are in tiny leaf,
While the
chaffinch sings on the orchard bough
In
England - now!
And after April, when May
follows
And the white-throat builds, and
all the swallows!
Hark, where my
blossomed pear-tree in the hedge
Leans to
the field and scatters on the clover
Blossoms and dewdrops - at the bent spray's
edge
That's the wise thrush: he sings
each song twice over
Lest you should
think he never could recapture
The first
fine careless rapture!
And, tho' the
fields look rough with hoary dew,
All will be gay when noontide wakes anew
The buttercups, the little children's dower
Far brighter than this gaudy melon-
flower!
罗伯特.勃朗宁
啊，但愿此刻身在英格兰，趁这四月天，
一个早晨醒来，谁都会突然发观：
榆树四周低矮的枝条和灌木丛中，
小小的嫩叶已显出一片葱茏，
听那苍头燕雀正在果园里唱歌，
在英格兰啊，在此刻!
四月过去，五月接踵来到，
燕子都在衔泥,白喉鸟在筑巢!
我园中倚向篱笆外的梨树
把如雨的花瓣和露珠
洒满了树枝之下的苜蓿田；
聪明的鸫鸟在那儿唱，把每支歌都唱两遍，
为了免得你猜想：它不可能重新捕捉
第一遍即兴唱出的美妙欢乐!
尽管露水笼罩得田野灰白暗淡，
到中午一切又将喜气盎然，
苏醒的毛茛花是孩子们的“嫁妆”，
这华而俗的甜瓜花哪儿比得上它灿烂明亮
