9. My advice to people today is as follows:

    If you take the game of life seriously,

    if you take your nervous system seriously,

    if you take your sense organs seriously,

    if you take the energy process seriously,

    you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.

   我对今天的人们有如下的建议：

    如果你严肃地对待生活这场游戏，

    如果你严肃地对待你的神经系统，

    如果你严肃地对待你的感觉器官，

    如果你严肃地对待能量生成过程，

    你必须有兴致，会理解而且懂放弃。

10. True enjoyment comes from activity of the mind and exercise of the body; the two are ever united.

真正的享受来自于思维的活动和身体的锻炼；而且可以合二为一。
