评论翻译
Marcus Aurelius
Simply put, stoicism is a way of thinking that teaches the person that it’s not worth getting too emotional for events that are out of out control, as all it does it lead to more suffering.

简单地说,斯多葛主义是一种思维方式,它告诉人们,对于失控的事件,不要过于情绪化,一旦过于情绪化,它会导致更多的痛苦。

Andrei Ţaga
The philosophy of Stoicism finds in roots in a school of Hellenistic philosophy founded in Athens in the early 3rd century BC.
In short, Stoicism is a philosophy of personal ethics that enables the individuals who follow it to not be controlled by the desire for pleasure or fear of pain, by using their mind to understand the world and to do one's part in nature's plan, and by working together and treating others fairly and justly.

斯多葛主义哲学起源于公元前3世纪早期在雅典创立的希腊哲学流派。
简单的说,斯多葛主义是一种个人伦理哲学,它使遵循它的个人不受快乐或痛苦恐惧的欲望控制,通过使用他们的头脑来理解世界,在大自然的计划中尽自己的一份力量,通过共同努力,公平公正地对待他人。

10 BASIC PRINCIPLES TO GET YOU STARTED.
Your mind is in your power. You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength. – Marcus Aurelius
This first principle simply puts everything this way: by controlling your mind you’re able to live a happier, more peaceful life. Be self-aware. All you have control over is your own mind. You can influence outside events more or less, but everything comes down to your opinion about what happens around you. By learning to master your thoughts, you’ll master your life and realize a power far greater than anything outside yourself.

你可以从这10条原则开始:
1、控制你的想法是你能力范围内的事情。是你在控制你的想法——而不是外部事件。意识到这一点,你就会找到力量。——马库斯·奥雷利乌斯
第一条原则简单地说就是:通过控制你的想法,你就能过上更快乐、更平静的生活。要有自知之明。你所能控制的只是你自己的想法。你可以或多或少地影响外部事件,但一切都取决于你对周围发生的事情的看法。通过学习掌握自己的想法,你将掌握自己的生活,并意识到一种远比自己之外的任何事物都强大的力量。

2. Be grateful for what you have. Do not indulge in dreams of having what you have not, but reckon up the chief of the blessings you do possess, and then thankfully remember how you would crave for them if they were not yours. – Marcus Aurelius
Gratitude is known to make you happy today. However, most Stoics spoke of its power ages ago. You should always be happy for what you own. Being grateful shifts your way of thinking from ‘’I wish I had more’’ , ‘’I need this’’ , ‘’I wish I was like him/her’’ to ‘’I’m glad that I have this and that’’, ‘’I now appreciate my stuff better’’ , ‘’I should never be obsessed with other’s material life’’.

2、感激你所拥有的。不要沉迷于拥有你所没有的东西的梦想,而是要计算出你所拥有的最重要的东西,然后感激地记住,如果这些不是你的,你会多么渴望它们——马库斯·奥雷利乌斯
感恩让你今天快乐。然而,大多数斯多葛学派早就谈到了它的力量。你应该永远为你拥有的东西感到高兴。感恩将你的思维方式从“我希望我有更多”、“我需要这个”、“我希望我像他/她那样”转变为“我很高兴我有这样那样”、“我现在更欣赏我的东西”、“我不应该沉迷于他人的物质生活”。

3. Time is your most precious resource. ‘’Not to live as if you had endless years ahead of you. Death overshadows you. While you’re alive and able– be good.’’ –Marcus Aurelius
Our life is finite. When you’re young you don’t really listen to the old folks that say ‘’life is very short’’. Everything is evanescent around you. The world as you know it is in complete change and it seems like time flies by quickly. Remind yourself regularly that time is your most precious resource. You only have so long to live, so strive diligently to live in a way that will leave you with no regrets. Don’t waste your life with people that pull you down, don’t accept every situation you’re in and quit that job that you hate.

3、时间是你最宝贵的资源,不要活得好像你前面还有无尽的岁月。死亡笼罩着你。当你活着并且有能力的时候,好好活着。——马库斯·奥雷利乌斯
我们的生命是有限的。当你年轻的时候,你不会在意老人说的“生命很短暂”。你周围的一切都是转瞬即逝的。你所知道的世界正在发生彻底的变化,时间似乎过得很快。经常提醒自己,时间是你最宝贵的资源。你只有这么长的生命,所以努力以一种让你无怨无悔的方式生活。不要把你的生命浪费在那些让你沮丧的人身上,不要接受你所处的每一种情况,放弃你讨厌的工作。

4. Don’t look for happiness in the material. “It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.” – Seneca
Excessive materialism is just another sign that something inside of us is missing, that we need acceptance from others, and so we try to fill it with material stuff. Happiness should come from within. Sure it’s nice when you buy a new watch/phone/car or a simple T-shirt, but remember: Every material good is temporary, it degrades slowly everyday. Don’t be obsessed with material goods.
5. Change your perspective on failure. “You don’t develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.” – Epictetus
Reaction to failure matters much more than the actual cause that made you fail. For some people it’s natural to see failure as a negative. However, remember your goal: to become the best version of yourself possible. If you look at things in that way, each failure becomes a valuable opportunity for personal development, an opportunity to use as a stepping stone to almost inevitable success.

4、不要从物质中寻找幸福。“穷人不是拥有太少的人,而是渴望更多的人。”——塞内卡
过度的物质主义只是另一个迹象,表明我们内心缺少一些东西,我们需要别人的接受,所以我们试图用物质的东西填满它。幸福应该来自内心。当然,当你买一块新手表/手机/汽车或一件简单的T恤衫时,它是不错的,但请记住:每一种物质都是暂时的,它每天都会慢慢退化。不要沉迷于物质商品。
5、改变你对失败的看法。“你不是通过每天在人际关系中保持快乐来培养勇气的。你是通过度过困难时期和挑战逆境来培养勇气的。”——埃皮克提图
对失败的反应比让你失败的真正原因更重要。对一些人来说,把失败看作是消极的,这是很自然的。然而,记住你的目标:尽可能成为最好的自己。如果你以这种方式看待事情,每一次失败都会成为个人发展的宝贵机会,成为通往几乎不可避免的成功的垫脚石。

6. Reflect on your productivity. “It’s not that we have little time, but more that we waste a good deal of it.” – Seneca
Very related to number 3, on any given day, how much time do you spend towards what matters most to you? Try to spend more time with your family, on your crafts or on taking care of yourself. Successful people tend to be great at prioritizing what is most important to them, so reflect on what you spend your time doing and make the necessary changes to realize the life of your dreams.
7. Always remember WHY. ‘’At dawn, when you have trouble getting out of bed, tell yourself: ‘I have to go to work — as a human being. What do I have to complain of, if I’m going to do what I was born for — the things I was brought into the world to do? Or is this what I was created for? To huddle under the blankets and stay warm? Don’t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you’re not willing to do your job as a human being?’’ –Marcus Aurelius
I think this quote is enough to make you understand this principle.

6、反思你的工作效率。“不是我们的时间很少,而是我们浪费了很多时间。”——塞内卡
与第三点非常相关,在任何一天,你花了多少时间在对你来说最重要的事情上?试着花更多的时间和家人在一起,做手艺或者照顾自己。成功人士往往擅长优先考虑对他们来说最重要的事情,所以反思一下你花时间做了什么,并做出必要的改变来实现你的梦想。
7、永远记住为什么。黎明时分,当你起床有困难时,告诉自己:“作为一个人,我必须去工作”。如果我要做我生来就必须做的事情——我被带到这个世界来就应该做的事情,我有什么好抱怨的?或者这就是我被创造的目的吗?蜷缩在毯子下取暖?难道你没有看到植物、鸟类、蚂蚁、蜘蛛和蜜蜂在各司其职,尽其所能地整理这个世界吗?你不愿意做你作为一个人必须做的工作吗?——马库斯·奥雷利乌斯
我认为这句话足以让你理解这个原则。

8. Have a role model. “Associate with those who will make a better man of you. Welcome those whom you yourself can improve. The process is mutual; for men learn while they teach.” – Seneca.
It’s hard to measure your progress as a human being without anything to measure it against. Similarly, it’s bad to measure yourself against people who are not positive role models. One should compare himself with the best people but also with the least good people, this way one can exactly now where he is ranking. You need to find someone that inspires you because of their great character, who represents the qualities you find most desirable. Once you’ve found someone you can aspire to be like, you’ll have a benchmark you can consistently use to gauge your progress.
9. Choose your own path. “What difference does it make, after all, what your position in life is if you dislike it yourself?” – Seneca.
You may listen to other people’s opinions but always choose whatever you feel it’s best for you. Certain people will give you good or bad advice but they’ll never get trough your experience. At the end of the day, you are the one who matters the most. Be rational, make good choices.

8、树立榜样。与那些能让你变得更好的人交往。欢迎那些能自己改进的人。这个过程是相互的,因为男人们边教边学。——塞内卡。
作为一个人,如果没有任何可以衡量的东西,你很难衡量自己的进步。同样,用那些不是积极榜样的人来衡量自己的进步也不好。一个人应该将自己与最好的人进行比较,但也要与最不好的人进行比较,这样就可以准确地知道自己现在的排名。你需要找到别人身上伟大的性格来激励你,他代表着你最想要的品质。一旦你找到了一个你渴望成为的人,你就有了一个衡量你进步的基准。
9、选择自己的道路。如果你自己都不喜欢你的生活,你在生活中处于什么样的地位,对你而言又有什么不同呢?——塞内卡。
你可能会听取别人的意见,但总是要选择你认为最适合自己的。某些人会给你好的或坏的建议,但他们永远无法代替你去经历一切。说到底,你才是你自己最重要的人。理性一点,做出正确的选择。

10. Apply what you learn. ‘’Don’t just say you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better, to be a more discriminating and reflective person. Books are the training weights of the mind. They are very helpful, but it would be a bad mistake to suppose that one has made progress simply by having internalized their contents.’’ – Epictetus
It’s easy to get into reading or watching self-development videos or even reading this list to get good knowledge. Always try to have a strong correlation between gathering knowledge and actual achievement. Take notes from what you read and plan to apply your knowledge. By doing this with every material you consume, this will become a habit. Eventually you’ll soak up useful information in no time. Try to remember, for example, a few useful ideas from what I’ve written above.

10、学以致用。不要只是读书。读书让你学会了更好地思考,成为一个更具辨别力和反思能力的人。书籍是心灵的训练砝码。它们非常有用,但如果认为一个人仅仅通过将其内容内化而取得了进步,那将是一个严重的错误。——埃皮克提图
阅读或观看自我发展视频,甚至阅读此列表以获得良好的知识都很容易。始终努力在收集知识和实际成就之间建立强大的相关性。读书、做笔记、并计划应用你的学到的一切。对你身边的一切都这么做,把它变成一种习惯。最终你会很快吸收有用的信息。例如,试着记住我上面写的一些有用的想法。

Ian Ward
Among most people, Stoicism is either not known or misunderstood. This is my effort to restore Stoicism to its rightful place as a tool in the pursuit of self-mastery, perseverance, and wisdom. In other words, something one uses to live a great life, rather than some esoteric field of academic inquiry. The philosophy asserts that virtue (meaning the virtues of self-control, courage, justice and wisdom) is happiness, and it is our perceptions of things, rather than the things themselves that cause most of our trouble.
Stoicism teaches that you cannot rely or control anything outside our “reasoned choice”, and to use our own ability, to use our own reasoning and choose how we respond and possibly reorient ourselves to any kind of external events. There are three important disciplines that form part of stoicism. These are:
Perception - how we see and how we perceive the world around us.
Action - the decisions and actions that we take.
Will - how we deal with the things we are unable to develop, a clear and convincing judgment, and come to a true peaceful understanding of what our place in this world is.
The underlying message is that Stoicism can help you with whatever challenges you may be going through.

在大多数人中,斯多葛主义要么不为人所知,要么被人误解。我努力的想要恢复斯多葛主义作为追求自我控制、毅力和智慧的工具的应有地位。换句话说,让它变成一个人用来过上美好生活的东西,而不是某个深奥的学术研究领域。哲学主张美德(指自控、勇气、正义和智慧的美德)就是幸福,是我们对事物的感知,而不是事物本身造成了我们大部分的麻烦。
斯多葛主义告诉我们,你不能依赖或控制我们“理性选择”之外的任何东西。所以我们需要运用我们自己的能力,运用我们自己的推理,选择我们如何应对,并调整我们自己对任何外部事件的认知。斯多葛学派有三个重要的学科。这些是:
感知——我们如何看待和感知周围的世界。
行动——我们所做的决定和行动。
意志——我们如何处理我们无法控制的事情,做出一个清晰而令人信服的判断,并对我们在这个世界上的地位达成真正的和平理解。
潜在的信息是,斯多葛主义可以帮助你应对任何挑战。

The Discipline of Perception
The single most important practice in the Stoic philosophy is being able to differentiate between what a person can change and what they are unable to change. If they can focus on making clear what parts of their day are within their control, and what parts are not, they will be happier, and have a distinct advantage over any others who fail to realize that they are indeed fighting against an unwinnable battle.
A good tool is to imprint the following reminders, and verbalize them every day when necessary.
Control your perceptions.
Direct your actions properly.
Willingly accept what is outside your control.
Clarify who you are and what you stand for.
Serenity and stability are the positive results of your choices and wise judgment, not your environment. If you try to avoid all disruptions like other people, external events, stress , unfortunately you will never be successful. Your problems will follow you wherever you hide. However if you avoid the harmful and disruptive judgments that cause these problems, then you will be stable and steady wherever you go.

感知的规律:
斯多葛哲学中最重要的一个实践是能够区分一个人能改变什么和他们不能改变什么。如果他们能专注于弄清楚自己一天中哪些部分在自己的控制范围内,哪些部分不在自己的控制范围内,那么他们会更快乐,并比其他任何没有意识到自己确实在对一场不可能获胜的战斗作斗争的人拥有明显的优势。
一个很好的工具是在下面的提醒上打上印记,并在必要时每天口头表达。
1、控制你的感知。
2、正确地指导你的行动。
3、心甘情愿地接受你无法控制的事情。
4、明确你是谁,你代表什么。
平静和稳定是你的选择和明智判断的积极结果,而不是你的环境。如果你像其他人、外部事件、压力一样试图避免一切干扰,不幸的是,你永远不会成功。无论你躲到哪里,你的问题都会跟着你。然而,如果你避免了导致这些问题的有害和破坏性的判断,那么无论你走到哪里,你都会保持稳定。

Passions and Emotions
Avoid being a puppet to your emotions. You are in control, and when you next feel anxious, you need to ask yourself, whether your anxiety is good for you. Impulses will always come, and your job or task is to control them. You must always think carefully before you act. If you are unable to control your impulses, you could be the source of the disasters you fear. Most things that upset us or make us anxious are only in our imaginations. They are similar to bad dreams and should be dealt with accordingly. That little thing that keeps provoking you isn't even real.
It is very dangerous to think that happiness will come at some later time. The ongoing yearning for more, better, someday is the major enemy of your contentment. Eagerly anticipating your future ruins your chances at happiness right now..

激情和情感:
避免成为情绪的傀儡。当你下一次感到焦虑时,你需要问问自己,你的焦虑是否对你有益。冲动总是会来的,你的工作或任务就是控制它们。你必须在行动之前仔细考虑。如果你无法控制自己的冲动,你可能是你所害怕的灾难的根源。大多数让我们心烦意乱或焦虑的事情都只存在于我们的想象中。它们类似于恶梦,应该相应地处理。那个一直在激怒你的小东西甚至都不是真的。
认为幸福迟早会到来是非常危险的。对更多更好的未来的持续渴望是你满足感的主要敌人。对未来的热切期待会毁掉你现在获得幸福的机会。

Awareness
The journey into philosophy begins when we are or become aware of our own ability to analyze our own minds. You need to work on and refine your ability to judge yourself accurately and honestly. You need to look inward to fully understand exactly what you are capable of and what it will take to unlock the enormous potential.
The gift of self-awareness is your own ability to be able to obxtively uate yourself, by learning to question your own instincts, patterns and assumptions. You need to be very cautious and not rush to any kind of conclusions about anything. You will need to be completely aware of everything that’s going on, in order to make the right decision.
Your mind is your most powerful possession. You must maintain strict control of your mind at all times. It is important to remember that you are extremely blessed to have the capacity to use logic and reason, to navigate situations and circumstances. You have the ability to always control your mind and your feelings, and you have the ability to always decide to love, and also to accept what’s happening around you.

意识:
当我们意识到自己有分析自己思想的能力时,哲学之旅就开始了。你需要努力提高自己准确度、诚实地判断自己的能力。你需要向内看,以充分了解自己的能力,以及如何释放巨大的潜力。
自我意识的天赋是你能够客观地评价自己,学会质疑自己的直觉、模式和假设。你需要非常谨慎,不要急于对任何事情下任何结论。为了做出正确的决定,你需要完全了解正在发生的一切。
你的头脑是你最强大的财产。你必须时刻严格控制自己的思想。重要的是要记住,你非常幸运地拥有运用逻辑和推理的能力,能够驾驭各种情况和环境。你有能力永远控制自己的思想和感情,你有能力永远决定去爱,也有能力接受身边发生的一切。

Unbiased Thoughts
You need to always be careful about what information you let into your mind. Life determines that unfortunately we will be exposed to bad influences, and when this happens we must not allow these thoughts to penetrate our minds. Wedo have the ability to decide what information we allow inside our minds. A great coping tool is to:
Quickly consider your own thoughts.
Always Trust your instincts, but always verify them
Test your impressions in order to avoid making a false move on based on false or biased information..
You will change your opinions from time to time as we are not as wise as we sometimes think we are. ’Always fight against your biases and preconceptions.
A great way to learn humility is to be willing to learn from anyone and everyone, regardless of their status in life.Unfortunately opinions are usually shaped by entitlements, expectations, and sometimes, ignorance. If we can find a way of getting them out of our lives, we will begin to feel less upset and angry.

不偏不倚的想法:
你需要时刻小心,你让什么信息进入你的头脑。不幸的是,生活决定了我们将受到不良信息影响,当这种情况发生时,我们不能让这些想法渗透到我们的头脑中。我们有能力决定我们允许哪些信息进入我们的大脑。一个很好的应对工具是:
1、快速考虑你自己的想法。
2、永远相信自己的直觉,但也要验证它们。
3、验证你的印象,以避免基于错误或有偏见的信息做出错误的举动。
你会时不时地改变你的观点,因为我们不像我们有时认为的那样聪明。始终与你的偏见和成见作斗争。
学习谦逊的一个好方法是愿意向任何人学习,不管他们在生活中的地位如何。不幸的是,观点通常是由权利、期望,有时还有无知形成的。如果我们能找到一种方法让他们远离我们的生活,我们就会开始感到不那么沮丧和愤怒。

The Right Action
A shooter will not be able to hit a target without aiming. Following on from this, you should spend some time thinking about what your priorities are, and only then work toward them and forsake everything else.
It is not good enough to just wish and then hope, you need to act , and act right. Time is an irreplaceable commodity, you will only get one shot at today, after that today is gone and lost forever. The question is, what will you manage to make of today, before it becomes the past?
You must indeed take pleasure from the right actions you take, rather than the results that may come from these actions. Our ambition must definitely not be to win, but more importantly to play with our full and best effort. By doing this and giving it our all, we will always find contentment and resilience. Start now, do not delay. If you focus on doing the right thing at the right time, you will succeed.
Do not spend any time thinking about what other people think, this means nothing. Think about what you think, think about the results, the impact, about whether it is the right thing to do right now.

正确的行动:
射手不瞄准就不能击中目标。接下来,你应该花一些时间思考你的优先事项是什么,然后朝着它们努力,放弃其他一切。
仅仅希望然后再希望是不够的,你需要行动,正确的行动。时间是一种不可替代的商品,你只能在今天得到一次机会,在那之后,今天就永远消失了。问题是,在今天成为过去之前,你会如何对待它?
你必须从正确的行动中获得快乐,而不是从这些行动中获得结果。我们的抱负绝不能是取胜,更重要的是要全力以赴。通过这样做并全力以赴,我们总能找到满足感和韧性。现在就开始,不要拖延。如果你专注于在正确的时间做正确的事情,你就会成功。
不要花时间思考别人的想法,这没有任何意义。想想你的想法,想想结果,影响,想想现在做的事情是否正确。

Problem Solving
One of the guarantees of life is that there will be obstacles. The way to overcome this is by having a backup plan. Life is not easy or never fair, so no need to try to play the sympathy card. You always have a choice in how to respond. Use the gifts that you have been given and get the issue sorted. Get active in your own rescue and stop seeking a scapegoat.
There is absolutely no shame in needing help, and you do not have to face everything on your own. If you need help, don’t be proud and learn to ask. People want freedom, happiness and the respect of their peers. All of that is right in front of you, in the choices you make. There’s no need to take the long way to get there. Hold yourself to a high standard, but not an impossible one. And forgive yourself if and when you slip up.

解决问题:
生活中必然会有阻碍和挫折。克服这一问题的方法是制定备份计划。生活不容易,也不公平,所以不需要试着打同情牌。你总是可以选择如何回应生活。利用你拥有的一切,解决问题。积极参与营救自己的行动,停止寻找替罪羊。
需要帮助绝对没有什么丢脸的,你也不必独自面对一切。如果你需要帮助,不要骄傲,要学会求助。人们想要自由、幸福和同龄人的尊重。所有这些都在你面前,在你做出的选择中。没有必要走很长的路到处去寻找。坚持高标准,但不是不可能的标准。如果你犯错了,要原谅自己。

Your Duties
The Stoics believed that every person, and animal and every little thing has a purpose or place in nature. Your job is to be good, so be good every day. We cannot be of service to other people unless we get up and get working. Rise and shine, and time to get going.
So questions to ponder are:
What are you committed to?
What are you doing and more important is what is the reason you are doing it?
If you carefully examine these questions you can discover what your calling is, and you can fulfill your duties. Once you discover it, you’ve moved a little closer to fulfilling it.
Everyone has the ability to be the master of their own affairs. You need to live your life in a way that doesn’t negatively impose on others. In addition you also need to be open-minded enough to allow others to do the same. We are made to cooperate with each other and everyone's purpose is to do this great work together.

你的职责:
斯多葛学派相信每个人、动物和每一个小东西在自然界都有一个目的或地位。你的工作就是做好这个,所以每天都要做好这个事情。除非我们站起来开始工作,否则我们无法为他人服务。站起来,阳光普照,该出发了。
因此,需要思考的问题是:
你一生致力做什么?
你在做什么,更重要的是你这么做的原因是什么?
如果你仔细研究这些问题,你就会发现你的使命是什么,你就能履行自己的职责。一旦你发现了它,你就离实现它更近了一步。
每个人都有能力成为自己事务的主人。你需要以一种不会给别人带来负面影响的方式生活。此外,你还需要足够开放的心态,让别人也这么做。我们被要求相互合作,每个人的目标都是共同完成这项伟大的工作。

Pragmatism
Often people say that they need the right environment to finally buckle down and get serious. A more wiser way is to be pragmatic and adaptable, the ability to do what we need to do anywhere, anytime. The place to do your work, to live the good life, is here.
There is much that can be done today, that will make the universe and world a better place. There are many little things to be done that will help move things forward. Don't make excuses from doing them because the conditions aren’t right or because a better opportunity might come along, do what you can now.
It is well known that man is never going to be perfect, so therefore our actions should be progress instead of perfection.

实用主义:
人们经常说,他们需要一个合适的环境,才能最终全身心地投入工作,变得严肃起来。更明智的方法是务实和适应性,随时随地做我们需要做的事情。做你的工作,过上美好生活的地方就在这里。
今天我们可以做很多事情,让宇宙和世界变得更美好。有许多小事情要做,这将有助于推动事情向前发展。不要因为条件不合适或可能会有更好的机会而找借口不去做,现在就做你能做的。
众所周知,人永远不会完美,因此我们的行动应该是进步而不是完美。

Fortitude and Resilience
The unpleasant experiences in life leave us with a much better knowledge of our own capacity and inner strength. You grow by knowing that in the future you can not only survive, but thrive when facing similar adversity..
Even under the worst torture and cruelties that can be inflicted on somebody, the persons power over their our own mind and their power to make their decisions can’t be broken, it can only be relinquished.
Should you spend a week or month personally experiencing the effects of poverty, hunger, isolation or other fearful things, ,the situation would start to feel normal, and no longer scary.

坚韧不拔:
生活中不愉快的经历让我们对自己的能力和内在力量有了更好的了解。你成长的过程中知道,在未来,面对同样的逆境,你不仅能生存,还能茁壮成长。
即使是被施加最恶劣的酷刑和残忍的情况的人,对自己的思想和决策的权力也不能被打破,只能被放弃。
如果你花一周或一个月的时间亲身体验贫穷、饥饿、孤立或其他可怕的事情的影响,这些情况就会开始变得正常,不再可怕。

Virtue and Kindness
Any bad situation is made better by love, empathy, understanding and appreciation. This also is true for situations where you do not agree with the other person. Always love and always give people the benefit of doubt.
You have the choice to respond with kindness and love.. You always have the choice to be truthful, endure and to be happy. You can always choose to be kind to others, however goodness will require you to dig deep inside your own soul.
Acceptance
Every event in our life is obxtive. It is only our opinion that determines whether we think something is good or bad. You need to decide to make the most of everything, whatever it is that happens to us. We must not complain, but we need to try and to do the best we can to accept it and fulfill it.
We definitely are not able to control the external, but we do control our attitudes and our responses to those events.

美德与善良:
爱、同理心、理解和欣赏会让任何糟糕的情况变得更好。这也适用于你不同意另一个人的情况。总是爱别人,总是给别人不确定的好处。
你可以选择用善意和爱来回应。你总是可以选择诚实、忍耐和快乐。你总是可以选择善待他人,然而善良需要你深入挖掘自己的灵魂。
接受:
我们生活中的每一件事都是客观的。只有我们的想法才能决定我们认为某事是好是坏。你需要决定充分利用一切,无论发生在我们身上的是什么。我们不能抱怨,但我们需要尽我们所能去接受并实现它。
我们当然无法控制外部环境,但我们确实可以控制我们对这些事件的态度和反应。

Meditation on Mortality
People have an irrational fear of our own mortality. We avoid it, mostly because we think it will be a depressing thought. In fact it should be the opposite. If you were told you had one week to live, i am sure you would make some changes. We all face the same end, death is a radical equalizer as no one is better or worse. All our stories have the same ending. So even if today was your last day, would there still be plenty to be grateful for? Give thanks.
I hope that you have enjoyed this post. I have certainly learnt a lot while researching this post, which is a subject that interest me a lot. Lots of great principles and values by which to live your life.

关于死亡的思考:
人们对我们自己的死亡有一种非理性的恐惧。我们回避它,主要是因为我们认为这将是一个令人沮丧的想法。事实上,情况恰恰相反。如果有人告诉你的生命只有一周的时间,我相信你会做出一些改变。我们都面临着相同的结局,死亡是一个根本的均衡器,因为没有人是更好或更糟的。我们所有的故事都有相同的结局。所以,即使今天是你的最后一天,还有很多值得你感恩的事情吗?对那些值得感恩的事情说谢谢。
我希望你喜欢这个帖子。在写下这篇文章的过程中,我学到了很多东西,这是一个让我非常感兴趣的话题。许多伟大的原则和价值观,将进驻你的生活。
