Life is fragile, Life is short.生命是脆弱的，生命是短暂的

Do not take Life for granted.不要觉得生命是理所当然的

Live a balance lifestyle and enjoy Life! 选择一种平衡的生活方式，享受生活！

     A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered. Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped on to his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry and tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible. Came to the point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, “Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to burry myself.”

     很久以前，一个国王对他的马夫说，他可以骑上马，能骑多远就多远，只要他的马骑过的土地，都赏赐给他。得到确认以后，马夫立刻骑上马，骑得很快，这样就可以得到尽可能多的土地。他一直骑啊骑，一直用鞭子抽打马，好让马跑快点。当他饥饿和疲惫的时候，他也不停，因为他一心想着占更多的土地。最后他占了很多土地，但此时已筋疲力尽，濒临死亡。这时，他才问自己：“为什么我要把自己弄得那么累，去占那么多土地？现在我快死了，我只需要一小块地方来埋葬我自己。”

     The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love to do. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed. 

       这个故事和我们的生命之旅很类似。我们把自己搞得很累，为了挣更多的钱，获得权力或赞誉。我们忽视了健康，和家人在一起的时间，欣赏周围美丽的事物，以及我们的个人爱好。有一天，当我们回首时，我们会意识到其实我们并不需要那么多，但此时我们已经无法追回那些逝去的时光。

    Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the

 beauty and pleasure of life.

        人生并不是为了追名逐利。活着不是为了工作！工作是为了我们能够活着，从而去享受生活的美好和乐趣。

       Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your life. Define your priorities! Realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on our instincts.

        生活应该是工作、休闲、家庭和个人时间的一种平衡。你应该来决定如何平衡你的生活。分清轻重缓急。你要意识到你可以妥协的部分，但是要有一些决定是基于我们的本性。

     Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature.

       快乐幸福是生活的意义和目的，也是人类存在的最终目标。所以，让我们放松自己，做自己想做的事，欣赏大自然。
