God didn't promise days without pain,

laughter without sorrow, sun without rain;

but He did promise strength for the day,

comfort for the tears,

and light for the way.

上主从来都没有承诺过人生是没有痛苦的，

只会有快乐而没有苦恼，

天天都阳光普照，永不下雨。

然而，祂却承诺给予我们生活的力量，

祂会安慰伤痛的心，祂会指引迷路的人。

Disappointments are like road humps,

they slow you down a bit

but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards.

Don't stay on the humps too long.

失望就好像路拱一样，会使人走得慢一点。

但随之而来的，是更平坦的道路。

请别待在路拱上太久呢！

Move on！

永不放弃！

When you feel down because you didn't get what you want,

just sit tight and be happy,

because God is thinking of something better to give you.

When something happens to you, good or bad,

consider what it means.

There's a purpose to life's events,

to teach you how to Laugh more or not to cry too hard.

每当你為得不到想要的东西而感到沮丧的时候，

请稍安毋躁，

因為上主总是预留了最好的给你。

不论是好是坏，只要是发生在你身上的，

请用心想一想……

生命中每一件事都有其目的，

而且最后总是叫你感到欢悦，并非伤心。

You can't make someone love you；

all you can do is be someone who can be loved，

the rest is up to the person your worth.

你不能迫使别人喜欢自己。

相反，

你只需成為一个值得别人去爱的人，

其餘的就随遇而安吧！

The measure of love is when you love without measure.

In life there are very rare chances

that you'll meet the person you love and loves you in return.

So once you have it don't ever let go,

the chance might Never come your way again.

衡量爱的唯一方法就是不要去衡量。

人的一生中很难才踫到互相爱慕的对象，

所以，

要是你遇到了这个人，

请千万要珍惜，

因為机会是可一而不可再的。

It's better to lose your pride to the one you love,

than to lose the one you love because of pride.

We spend too much time looking for the right person to love

or finding fault with those we already love,

when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.

為你所爱的人放下小小的自尊，

总好过為了所谓的自尊而失去所爱的人。

我们花了太多时间去寻寻觅觅，

或在鸡蛋裡挑骨头。

取而代之，

我们应该多花心思去修补自己付出的爱。

When you truly care for someone,

you don't look for faults,

you don't look for answers,

you don't look for mistakes.

Instead,

you fight the mistakes,

you accept the faults,

and you overlook the excuses.

只要是真心爱一个人，

你不会计较对方的缺点，

亦不会凡事要求解释，

更不会在意对方有甚麼过失。

相反，

你会替对方的每一个过失而辩护，

接爱对方所有的缺点，

不再需要任何形式的藉口。

Never abandon an old friend.

You will never find one who can take his place.

Friendship is like wine;

it gets better as it grows older.

好好珍惜你的老朋友，

因為你会发现没有任何人可以取代他们。

友谊就好像酒一样，

愈旧愈醇。

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hate.

2. Free your mind from worries.

3. Live simply.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less.

请记低以下五项令人活得快乐的原则：

1. 多宽恕；

2. 莫忧愁；

3. 活得平凡；

4. 只问施予；

5. 不问收穫。

No one can go back and make a brand new start.

Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.

虽然谁都不能返回从前重头再来，

但我们可以由此刻开始，改变自己，过新的生活。
