Ralph Waldo Emerson
To laugh often and love much;
To win the respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
To give one's self;
To leave the world a little better,
Whether by a healthy child,
A garden patch,
Or a redeemed social condition;
To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
And sung with exultation;
To know even one life has breathed easier
Because you have lived…
This is to have succeeded.
成 功
如果你能笑口常開愛心不泯;
如果你能贏得智者的尊敬
兒童的熱愛;
如果你得到正直評價家的稱贊
經(jīng)受住假朋友的背叛;
如果你能賞識美;
如果你能看到他人高尚的品德;
如果你能獻出自我;
如果你能讓世界哪怕稍好一點,
無論是通過培育一個健康的孩子,
還是開墾一個小片園地,
或是改進了社會某種狀況;
如果你忘情游戲過,開懷大笑過縱情高唱過;
如果你知道由于你的一生
那怕只有一個人活得更好
你就可以說你成功了。
