Never Give Up Hope 永不放弃希望
Life doesn't always give us the joys we want. We don't always get our hopes and dreams, and we don't always get our own way. But don't give up hope, because you can make a difference one situation and one person at a time.
Look for the beauty around you--in nature, in others, in yourself--and believe in the love of friends, family, and humankind. You can find love in a smile or a helping hand, in a thoughtful gesture or a kind word. It is all around, if you just look for it.
Give love, for in giving it you will find the power in life along with the joy, happiness, patience and understanding. Believe in the goodness of others and remember that anger and depression can be countered by love and hope.
Even when you feel as though there isn't a lot you can do to change unhappiness or problems, you can always do a little--and a little at a time eventually makes a big difference.

生活并非总是如你所愿。希望有时会落空，梦想有时会破灭，我们不能一切随心所愿。但别放弃希望，因为事物并非一成不变;不同时间，不同场合，你会呈现不同的面貌。
处处留心你身边的美丽：自然中的美，他人的美，你自己的美。请相信，美来自朋友、家庭乃至全人类的融融爱意。一个微笑，一双援助之手，一个关心的举止，一句友善的话语，无不传达着爱。如果你有心去寻找，爱无所不在。
奉献爱心吧，从中你会发现生活的力量，感受生活带来的幸福快乐，学会忍耐和理解。相信人性本善。记住，爱心和希望能化解一切愤怒和沮丧。哪怕生活中挥之不去的不快和困难将你重重包围，让你力不从心，但你仍可以尽力而为。累积点滴努力，最终你将扭转乾坤。
I Learn To Be Strong 我学会坚强
This poem is about someone whom I deeply cared about. The feelings were never returned, but I learned that with or without his love, I could make it and always remain strong and happy.
Words of wisdom come to my ears,
Telling me what I know in my heart,
But never wanted to hear.
With the truth finally said and out in the open for me to plainly see,
I wonder why I can love so deeply but never had that love returned back to me. I confessed the feelings that I held inside for so long,
But with his soft- hearted rejection,
I realize I have to be strong.
With tears that want to flow from my eyes,
I feel that my heart, along with my composure, slowly dies.
While this dramatic side is showing through with my ability to question and reason,
I think I may have found something in me that I can believe in.
Love hurts . . .
That's what they all say,
But I will love again when all this pain and sorrow goes away.
So I sit and think of all the things this situation has cost,
And I realize that nothing very important has been lost.
Instead, a learning experience has come from all this.
I've learned that hardly anything is more important than my happiness.
Today Is All We Have 拥有今天
The new day is here, and so are you! Now that we've started this new day, I hope that you're ready to give your best to it, and to enjoy it for all that it's worth! Remember today that you are alive.
Sometimes we tend to forget that you have a purpose that is all your own, no one else is you. You have dreams and hopes and desires. Listen to your heart for a while.
Remember today all the blessings you have: There's beauty in every direction you look, enjoy the abundance that is already yours, the world is a wonderful place and you're here.
Remember today that you get what you give: Your world is a mirror of your inner self, love will be yours when you give it away.
Remember today that life is creation: As long as you live you can always contribute your own special voice.
Remember today is a special time; make the best of it while you can.
新的一天开始了，你也要开始一天的忙碌了。希望你已经准备好全力以赴，充实而快乐地生活在今天。 记住今天你拥有生命!
有时我们似乎会忘记我们自己独有的生活目标，我们会忘记自我。每个人都有梦想，希望和愿望。有时去倾听一下你内心的召唤。
记住今天你拥有所有的祝福：美存在于你所注视过的每个角落，享受你内心已有的充实，这是一个美丽的世界，你生活在这里。
记住今天你因奉献而有所得：你的世界是你内心的一面镜子，当你给予爱时，你才拥有爱。
记住今天生活就是去创造：只要你拥有生命，你可以永远奉献你那一份力量。
记住今天是一个特殊的日子，尽你所能努力去创造吧!
Write Your Own Life 谱写生命的乐章
Suppose someone gave you a pen - a sealed, solid-colored pen. You couldn't see how much ink it had. It might run dry after the first few tentative words or last just long enough to create a masterpiece (or several) that would last forever and make a difference in the scheme of things. You don't know before you begin. Under the rules of the game, you really never know. You have to take a chance! Actually, no rule of the game states you must do anything. Instead of picking up and using the pen, you could leave it on a shelf or in a drawer where it will dry up, unused.
But if you do decide to use it, what would you do with it? How would you play the game?
Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word? Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?
Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents of words that take you where they take you?
Would you write cautiously and carefully, as if the pen might run dry the next moment, or would you pretend or believe (or pretend to believe) that the pen will write forever and proceed accordingly?
假如有人送你一支笔，一支不可拆卸的单色钢笔. 里面究竟有多少墨水看不出。或许在你试探性地写上几个字后它就会枯干，或许足够用来创作一部影响深远的不朽巨著(或是几部)。而这些，在动笔前，都是无法得知的。 在这个游戏规则下，你真的永远不会预知结果。你只能去碰运气!事实上，这个游戏里没有规则指定你必须要做什幺。相反，你甚至可以根本不去动用这支笔，把它扔在书架上或是抽屉里让它的墨水干枯。
但是，如果你决定要用它的话，你会用它来做什幺呢?你将怎样来进行这个游戏呢?
你会不写一个字，老是计划来计划去吗?你会不会由于计划过于宏大而来不及动笔呢?
或者你只是手里拿着笔，一头扎进去写，不停地写，艰难地随着文字汹涌的浪涛而随波逐流?
你会小心谨慎的写字，好象这支笔在下一个时刻就可能会干枯;还是装做或相信这支笔能够永远写下去而信手写来呢?
Start Over 重新开始
One of my students asked me awhile ago what I was really good at. Half kidding, I responded,
The reason I was only HALF kidding is because I am very familiar with starting over. I've started over in business. I've started over financially and in my career. And unless you live a spectacularly blissful life, at some point--usually many points--in your life, you'll need to start over, too.
We all do--in big things and in small.
A project gets delayed or terminated. We get laid off, downsized, right-sized or repurposed. We go off our diet or our exercise program. Hurricanes, tornadoes, cancer, the flu--all sorts of catastrophes and inconveniences can thwart or stop our forward progress--sometimes sending us all the way back to the starting line. But you can't let it stop you. To be successful you must become and remain resilient.
Hardly anything goes the way we hope or plan that it will. I'm being realistic. Setbacks, roadblocks and disappointments are just part of the natural ebb and flow of life.
Every day is a new day. And it's a good thing because it's another opportunity to start over again every day. It matters little what's happened. But it matters a LOT what we do not.
Make Room for Happiness 为快乐腾点空间
If you want something new and different in your life, you must first make ROOM. Make room for happiness by moving OUT the old.
The question is: Where do you start to begin to make room for happiness? You may find the answer right here at Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, and I’m Faith.
1. Time.How do you spend your time? Is it wasted time, or refreshing time? Does it take you toward your goals, or away from them? Are you consciously spending time, or just letting it happen?
2. Environment. What no longer is working for you in your environment? Are there unfinished projects that were important at one time, but no longer intrigue you? When you look around, does your environment make you feel good? Make you smile?
3. Relationships. What relationships are no longer effective to your happiness? Do the people in your life support you? Are you are proud to introduce them to others? Do you learn from them?
4. Thinking.Do you talk to yourself like your best friend? Or do you talk to yourself like the neighbor you despise? Do your thoughts inspire and motivate you…or hold you back from your best self?
5. Work. Do you feel fulfilled and happy about your work, whether that’s a
domestic engineer, or CEO? Or do you dread doing the work, and just count the minutes until time off?
Once you have made the room for success, adding what you really want WILL give you pleasure and fulfillment. If you try to add it on top of what you already have, it will become just another source of aggravation. First, you must set up your life to support success.
