无论你生活在哪，你都得明白，你生活的这个世界，不可能完全按照你设想的方式去运转。
你喜欢的人可能就是不喜欢你。
你想应聘的公司可能看不上你。
亲戚家的熊孩子可能不会乖乖守规矩。
隔壁的邻居也可能就是不保持安静。
所以，你会怎么做呢?
生气?
不，还是别了吧。
你那只是在展示自己的无能
你要明白，生气对你自己来说没有任何好处，因为它改变不了任何事。
如果你不喜欢现状，那就去找到问题的根源，然后试着解决它。
那才是唯一的出路。
No matter where you live, you must
understand that this world which you live in does not necessarily
work as you think.
The person who you have a crush on may just not
be into you.
The company you want to work in may see you as
incompetent.
The kids brought by your relatives may not
behave themselves.
The family next door may just not stay that
quiet.
So what would you do?
Get angry?
No, I suggest that you
don't.
You will only be showing your incompetency if you
do.
you must understand: Being angry doesn't do you
any good because it changes nothing.
If you don't like what's happening, then try to
identify the problem and find a way to deal with
it.
That's the only way out.
去认识大自然之美
爱美是整个健全人性不可或缺的一部分。它是一种道德品质。缺乏这种品质并不能作为受到责难的充分理由，但是拥有这种品质则是心灵美好的永恒标志。品德的高尚与美好所达到的程度可能与对美的感受程度成正比。
大自然的美无处不在，整个宇宙就是美的殿堂。美，在春日百花中绽放;美，在绿叶嫩枝间摇曳;美，在深海幽谷里游弋;美，在奇石与贝壳的缤纷色彩中闪烁。不只是这些细微之物，还有海洋，山川，云彩，繁星，日升日落，一切都是洋溢着美。这样的美是如此珍贵，与我们最温柔，最高尚的情愫是如此相宜。然而，想到很多人置身于美之中，却几乎对它熟视无睹，真是令人痛心不已。
所有的人都应该去认识大自然之美。没有一条我们踩过的小虫，没有一片在秋风拂掠之际飞舞的树叶不值得我们研究与赞赏。欣赏美的能力不仅增加了我们快乐的来源，也加强了我们德性的修养。美使我们不安的心平静下来，也驱散了我们的忧虑。到田野或森林去，在夏日的海边或山上呆上一天，那么你所有微不足道的困惑与焦虑都会烟消云散。倾听悦耳的音乐，你那愚蠢的恐惧与狭隘的嫉妒都会过去。世界之美将有助于我们找到为善之美。
The love of beauty is an essential
part of all healthy human nature. It is a moral quality. The
absence of it is not an assured ground of condemnation, but the
presence of it is an invariable sign of goodness of heart. In
proportion to the degree in which it is felt will probably be the
degree in which nobleness and beauty of character will be
attained.
Natural
beauty is an all-pervading presence. The universe is its temple. It
unfolds into the numberless flowers of spring. It waves in the
branches of trees and the green blades of grass. It haunts the
depths of the earth and the sea. It gleams from the hues of the
shell and the precious stone. And not only these minute objects but
the oceans, the mountains, the clouds, the stars, the rising and
the setting sun---all overflow with beauty. This beauty is so
precious, and so congenial to our tenderest and noblest feelings,
that it is painful to think of the multitude of people living in
the midst of it and yet remaining almost blind to
it.
All
persons should seek to become acquainted with the beauty in nature.
There is not a worm we tread upon, nor a leaf that dances merrily
as it falls before the autumn winds, but calls for our study and
admiration. The power to appreciate beauty not merely increases our
sources of happiness--it enlarges our moral nature, too. Beauty
calms our restlessness and dispels our cares. Go into the fields or
the woods, spend a summer day by the sea or the mountains, and all
your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish. Listen to sweet
music, and your foolish fears and petty jealousies will pass away.
The beauty of the world helps us to seek and find the beauty of
goodness.
