试着把生活想象成一个游戏——在空中抛接5只球。它们是:工作、家庭、健康、友谊和精神。当你尽力想把它们保持在空中时,很快,你就会发现,唯有工作是只橡皮球,抛之于地,还会反弹回来。而另外4只——家庭、健康、友谊和精神都是玻璃球,如果将其中任一只抛至地上,不可避免会留下疤痕、裂缝、受损甚至粉身碎骨,毫无办法将之复原。因而,你必须懂得维系生活的均衡。
如何维系生活的均衡呢?
切勿盲目与他人比较,而低估自身的价值。须知,人与人之间有差异,才显出个性。
切勿视他人的追求为自己的目标,唯有你自己知晓自身所需。
切勿漠视心灵深处的东西。珍视它们,如同生命;反之,生活将空洞黯然。
切勿让生命从指间悄然流逝,充斥昨日的忧伤和明天的憧憬。活在今天,将会让每个日子充满阳光。
切勿屈服认输,一息尚存,奋斗不止。
切勿妄自菲薄,我们各有所长,亦各有所短,才会彼此相依。
切勿惧怕冒险,我们因冒险而学会勇敢。
切勿以真爱难求为由而紧闭心扉。给予爱,才能得到爱;紧紧抓住爱,只会失去爱;赋予爱一双翅膀,才会令爱长驻。
切勿做生命的匆匆过客,将自己源自何方以及去往何处抛至脑后。
切勿忘怀,得到他人的理解是人生最强烈的感情需求。
切勿停止学习,知识不会成为负担,带着它,你可轻装上路。
切勿虚度时光,切勿出言不善,因为它们都覆水难收。
生活不是一场比赛,而是一段旅途,需要我们细细品味。
昨天已成历史,明天仍是未知,而今天是上帝的恩赐。所以,我们称今天为“礼物”。
