看了下面这段文字过后,才恍然意识到自己是多么的幸福。甚至觉得,自己从前抱怨生活中不尽如人意的地方,似乎也是一种罪过。有时候想想,我们能够作为一个独立的灵魂生存在这个世界上,其实就是一种幸运。我们应当心存感激地过好每一天才是。It's really important to know that you have time to be a human being. Whatever happens, you're still in the mood to smell the flowers. It's a pity that not everyone realizes this beauty of relaxing.

所以,诚心地希望你,我的朋友,无论平常多么忙,记得给自己保留一个自然的空间,静静品味生活的各种滋味。有时候可能就是一杯清茶,一个孩子天真灿漫的笑容,都会给我们带来特别美妙的感受。Every morning you open the window and greet the first beam of sunshine, a new day comes! 每天清晨,当你推开窗,感受到清晨的第一缕阳光,这时你会发现,崭新的一天来了..

To all my friends and loved ones
  Love from me

If the world is a Village of 100 People
如果世界是一个一百人的村落
----David J.Smith(大卫.史密斯)
Shelath Armstrory(
谢拉.阿姆斯壮)

  If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:
There would be:
  57 Asians
  21 Europeans
  14 from the Western Hemisphere , both north and south
  8 Africans
  52 would be female
  48 would be male   
  70 would be non-white
  30 would be white
  70 would be non-Christian
  30 would be Christian
  89 would be heterosexual
  11 would be homosexual
6 people would possess 59% of the entire world' s wealth and all 6 would be from the United States.
  80 would live in substandard housing
  70 would be unable to read
  50 would suffer from malnutrition
  1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
  1(yes, only 1) would have a college education
  1 would own a computer
  When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
  The following is also something to ponder..

  如果我们把全世界的人口按照现有压缩为一个100人的村子,情况就会如同以下:
  这个村子里有:
  57人是亚洲人
  21人是欧洲人
  14人来自西半球的南、北美洲
  8人是非洲人
  52人是女性
  48人是男性
70
人是有色人种
  30人是白人
  70人是非基督教徒
  30人是基督徒
  89人是异性恋者
  11人是同性恋者
6
人拥有全世界59%的财富
  而且这6人全是美国人
  80人的居住环境不达标准
  70人是文盲
  50人苦于营养不良
  1人濒临死亡边缘;1人正要出生
  1人(是的,只有1人)会接受大学教育
  1人拥有电脑
  透过这个压缩图来放眼我们的世界,就会明晓接纳他人、谅解以及教育是何等重要。再从以下角度来想想看..
  
  If you woke pup this morning with more health than illness..you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
  如果你早上醒来的时候健康无恙..那么,比起活不过这一周的百万人来说,你真是幸运多了。
  
  If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment , the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation.you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
  如果你未曾经历过战争的危险、入狱的孤独、严刑的苦楚、饥饿的痛苦..那么,比起世界上5亿人来,你真是幸运多了。
  
  If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep. you are richer than 75% of this world.
  如果你冰箱里有食物,身上有衣服可穿,有屋篷遮蔽,有地方睡觉..那么,比起世界上75%的人来,你真是富足多了。
  
  If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish someplace.you are among the top 8% of the world's wealth.
  如果你银行中有存款,钱包中也有钱,还能到某处消费..你便跻身在世界上最富有的8%人口当中了。
  
  If your parents are still alive and still married.you are very rare, even in the United Stated and Canada.
  如果你的父母依然健在,而且还在一起生活的话..这可是非常难得的事,即使是在美国与加拿大。
  
  Someone once said: What goes around comes around.
  有人说过:我所付出的终将会回归。
  
  So.
  Work like you don't need the money.
  Love like you've never been hurt.
  Dance like nobody's watching.
  Sing like nobody's listening.
  Live like it's Heaven on Earth.
  所以..
  用心去工作吧,就像你不需要金钱。
  大胆去爱吧,就像你未曾受过伤害。
  纵情舞蹈吧,就像无人在一旁观望。
  深情歌唱吧,就像无人在一边聆听。
  认真面对生活吧,犹如这是人间乐土。
