守护天使 Your Guardian Angle
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
从前，有个孩子马上就要降生了。于是有一天他问上帝：“听说明天您就送我去人间了，但是，我这么弱小和无助，我在那儿怎么生活呢？”
God replied, "Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
上帝答道：“在众多的天使中，我特别为你挑了一位。她会在那里守候你，无微不至地照顾你。”
But the child wasn't sure he really wanted to go. "But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy."
小孩还是不确定自己是否真的想去：“但是在天堂，我除了唱唱笑笑外，什么也不做，这就足以让我感到幸福了。”
"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."
“你的天使每天会为你唱歌，每天对你微笑。你会感受到她的爱，并且因此而幸福。”
"And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me," the child continued, "If I don't know the language that men talk?"
“如果我不懂人类的语言，他们跟我说话时，我怎么听得懂呢？”孩子继续问道。
God patted him on the head and said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
上帝轻轻地拍了一下孩子的头说：“你的天使会对你说最最美丽、最最动听的话语，而这些都是你从未听过的。她会不厌其烦地教你说话。”
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
“如果我想与你说话怎么办？”
But God had an answer for that question too. "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
上帝胸有成竹地回答：“你的天使会将你的双手合拢，教你如何祈祷。”
"I've heard that on earth there are bad men, who will protect me?"
“听说下界有很多坏人，谁来保护我呢？”
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life!"
“即使冒着生命危险，你的天使也会保护你的。”
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore," the child continued warily.
“但是见不到你，我会难过的。”小孩小心翼翼说道。
God smiled on the young one. "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
听到这儿，上帝微笑着看着孩子。“尽管我会一直陪伴你左右，你的天使仍会向你提起我，教你重返天堂之路。”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question, softly, "Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
此时，天堂一片宁静，凡间的声音已可听到，小孩明白自己得赶紧上路了。他又轻声问了最后一个问题：“哦，上帝，假如我现在就出发，请你告诉我，我的天使叫什么名字？”
God touched the child on the shoulder and answered, "Your angel's name is not hard to remember. You will simply call her Mommy."
上帝把手放在小孩的肩上，答道：“你的天使的名字很容易记住，你就叫她－－妈妈。”

成功的秘诀 Key to Success
To be or nor to be, that is a question. To succeed or to fail? How to succeed and how to achieve? These problems confuse many teenagers in nowadays.
做与不做，这是一个问题。成功抑或失败？怎样成功？怎样实现梦想？这些问题困扰着很多的青少年。
We all have dreams, and we all work hard to realize them. But there will always be some problems and setbacks to stop the pace of advance. When they appear, what should we do? To stop or to go on? Mrs. Curie told us the answer. We all know that Mrs. Curie discovered radium, but how many people really know how hard she worked? At that time, there were many people disapprove of Mrs. Curie. Although she got over hundreds of difficulties, she still believed in herself and never gave up. Finally, she succeeded to discover radium. She proved that she was right by her continuous hard work and her strong spirit. We should learn from Mrs. Curie. She told us the truth through her own experiences that believe in yourself, you can do it! Never give up, face the difficulties with a smile, someday, you will be proud of yourself.
我们都有梦想，并且我们都为之努力。但是，仍然存在着一些问题和障碍阻止前进的步伐。当出现这些问题的时候我们应该怎么做？停下来还是继续？居里夫人告诉了我们答案。我们都知道居里夫人发现了镭，但是又多少人真正知道她有多努力？那时候，有很多人反对居里夫人。尽管她遇到了数以百计的困难，她仍然相信自己，永不放弃。最后，她成功发现了镭。她通过不懈的努力和坚强的意志证明了她是对的。我们都应该想居里夫人学习。她用自己的经历告诉我们这样一个真理：相信自己你能做到！永不放弃，微笑面对困难，终有一天你会为自己感到自豪。
The key to success is confidence. It makes you brave, helps you get over the troubles, and brings motivation to you. For example, somebody always get nervous when they have an important speech, if they are in a nervous mood, the results are always terrible. But if they are confident to themselves, the results turn out to be better. Therefore, be confident, believe in yourself, keep smile in your face when comes to difficulties, and you will achieve more.
成功的秘诀就是自信。它使你勇敢，帮助你克服困难，带给你动力。例如，有的人进行重要的演讲的时候总是变得紧张，如果他们心情紧张，结果往往很糟。但是，如果他们对自己自信，结果就会更好。因此，信心，相信自己，遇到困难面带微笑，你就会得到更多。
难得糊涂 The Importance of Being Silly
We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.
Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!
The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!
No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don’t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on… No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?
Life is so short… You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:
“Dance as though no one is watching you, Love as though you have never been hurt before, Sing as though no one can hear you, Live as though heaven is on earth.”
When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.
So don’t lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn’t want to feel good?
我们每个人，在不同时期，都曾经像一个摇滚歌星那样，伴着我们最爱的那首歌又唱又跳。很多人在小时候，甚至是已长大成人，都曾在我们自己房间和家里类似的隐秘空间里这样过。我呢？我喜欢在开车的时候这样！打开收音机，找一首会唱的歌，很快我就会张开双臂，随着节奏起舞。大部分时候，我在上班的路上这么做。
是的，那是真的。我会穿上我漂亮的工作服，在堵车和遇到交通灯时，有人就会用奇怪的眼神看着我，或者笑我。对我个人而言，我喜欢沉浸在一首歌的节奏中，由此我愿和你们分享：为人糊涂贵在何处。
糊涂一词在字典中的定义是：愚蠢的，傻，荒谬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他们在生活中始终一脸严肃，而这在本质上才是真正的愚笨。
人无完人，我重申一次：没有人是完美的。我不在乎一个人学识多深，身材多好，外表多美，思想多浅薄，生活多俭朴，多富有，等等……人无完人！那么，为什么要伪装成我们实际上本不是的呢？
人生何其短暂……你不会知道这美好的征程何时会结束，那么，为什么要浪费一分一秒，让自己变得棱角分明？这里引用索萨的话，我觉得她一语中的，是人生的一大秘方：
跳舞吧，就像没有人欣赏一样，
去爱吧，就像没有受到伤害一样，
唱歌吧，就像没有人倾听一样，
生活吧，就像今天是最后一天一样。
当我们还是孩子，我们天不怕，地不怕，无忧无虑，所以我们可以不在乎自己再别人眼中的形象去做事情。然而，当我们长大，我们失去了那种天真烂漫。
所以，不要丢失你心中那个小孩。下次你感到沮丧时，去打开你最爱的那首歌吧，随着歌唱起舞，就像没有明天一样。或者看点能让你笑的东西。笑声是除去任何烦恼良方，没有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我，你会好受很多，谁又不想让自己好受呢？
