真正的自我The Real SelfThe only problem unconsciously assumed by all Chinese philosophers to be of any importance is: How shall we enjoy life, and who can best enjoy life? No perfectionism, no straining after the unattainable, no postulating of he unknowable; but taking poor, modal human nature as it is, how shall we organize our life so that we can woke peacefully, endure nobly and live happily?
Who are we? That is first question. It is a question almost impossible to answer. But we all agree with the busy self occupied in our daily activities is not quite the real self. We are quite sure we have lost something in the mere pursuit of living. When we watch a person running about looking for something in a field, the wise man can set a puzzle for all the spectator to solve: what has that person lost? Some one thinks is a watch; another thinks it is a diamond brooch; and others will essay other guesses. After all the guesses have failed, the wise man who really doesn't know what the person is seeking after, tells the company:" I'll tell you. He has lost some breath." And no one can deny that he is right. So we often forget our true self in the pursuit of living, like a bird forgetting its own danger in pursuit of a mantis which again forgets its own danger in pursuit of another.

一切中國的哲學(xué)家在不知不覺中認(rèn)為唯一重要的問題是：我們要怎樣享受人生?誰最會(huì)享受人生?我們不追求十全十美的理想，我們不尋找那些得不到的東西，我們不要求知道那些不得而知的東西;我們只認(rèn)識(shí)不完美的、會(huì)死的人類的本性，那么我們要怎樣調(diào)整我們的人生，使我們可以和平地工作著，曠達(dá)地忍耐著，幸福地生活著呢?
我們是誰呢?這是第一個(gè)問題。這個(gè)問題幾乎是無法答復(fù)的?？墒俏覀兌汲姓J(rèn)在我們?cè)怀；顒?dòng)中那么忙碌的自我，并不完全是真正的自我;我們相信我們?cè)谏畹淖非笾幸呀?jīng)失掉了一些東西。當(dāng)我們看見一個(gè)人在一片田野里跑來跑去在尋找東西時(shí)，智者可以弄出一個(gè)難題給一切旁觀者去解答：那個(gè)人失掉了什么東西呢?有的猜一只表;有的猜一支鉆石胸針;其他的人則作其他的猜測。智者委實(shí)也不知道那個(gè)人在尋找什么東西;可是當(dāng)大家都猜不中的時(shí)候，他會(huì)對(duì)大家說：“我告訴你們吧。他失掉了一些氣息了。” 沒有人會(huì)否認(rèn)他的話是對(duì)的。所以我們?cè)谏畹淖非笾谐３Ｍ袅苏嬲淖晕遥袂f子在一個(gè)美妙的譬喻里所講的那只鳥那樣，為了要捕捉一只螳螂而忘掉自身的危險(xiǎn)，而那只螳螂又為了要捕捉一只蟬而忘掉自身的危險(xiǎn)。

享受今天的快樂No living creature can laugh except man. Trees may bleed when they are wounded, and beasts in the field will cry in pain and hunger, yet only I have the gift of laughter and it is mine to use whenever I choose. Henceforth I will cultivate the habit of laughter. I will smile and my digestion will improve; I will chuckle and my burdens will be lightened; I will laugh and my life will be lengthened for this is the great secret of long life and now it is mine.
I will paint this day with laughter; I will frame this night in song. Never will I labor to be happy; rather will I remain too busy to be sad. I will enjoy today's happiness today. It is not grain to be stored in a box. It is not wine to be saved in a jar. It cannot be saved for the morrow. It must be sown and reaped on the same day and this I will do, henceforth.
And with my laughter all things will be reduced to their proper size. I will laugh at my failures and they will vanish in clouds of new dreams; I will laugh at my successes and they will shrink to their true value. I will laugh at evil and it will die untasted; I will laugh at goodness and it will thrive and abound. Each day will be triumphant only when my smiles bring forth smiles from others and this l do in selfishness, for those on whom l flown are those who purchase not my goods.
[參考譯文]
只有人類才會(huì)笑。樹木受傷時(shí)也會(huì)流“血”，禽獸也會(huì)因痛苦和饑餓而哭嚎哀鳴，然而，只有我才具備笑的天賦，可以隨時(shí)開懷大笑。從今往后，我要培養(yǎng)笑的習(xí)慣。 笑有助于消化，笑能減輕壓力，笑，是長壽的秘方?，F(xiàn)在我終于掌握了它。
我要用笑聲點(diǎn)綴今天，我要用歌聲照亮黑夜。我不再苦苦尋覓快樂，我要在繁忙的工作中忘記悲傷。我要享受今天的快樂，它不像糧食可以貯藏，更不似美酒越陳越香。
笑聲中，一切都顯露本色。我笑自己的失敗，它們將化為夢(mèng)的云彩;我笑自己的成功，它們回復(fù)本來面目;我笑邪惡，它們遠(yuǎn)我而去;我笑善良，它們發(fā)揚(yáng)光大。我要用我的笑容感染別人，雖然我的目的自私，但這確是成功之道，因?yàn)榘櫰鸬拿碱^會(huì)讓顧客棄我而去。我不是為將來而活。今天播種今天收獲。

行動(dòng)起來改善生活
Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it."
Of course not!
You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it.
Guess what her lifestyle is?
She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routinary cycle ensues.
Huh?!? Is this what she calls "doing her best?"
She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it.
Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting the effort to live the life of our dreams.
You reap what you sow.
You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone (unless it contributes to your success), and get your mind and body to work!
If your life is not meant the way you want it to be, don't just say: "Our time will come." or "Things will get better some day."
Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to resolve the problem.
It's not enough to think positive; you also have to act positive.
If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You got to do anything you can to save the person.
So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to DO your best.
In other words, don't just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life!
[參考譯文]
許多人認(rèn)為人應(yīng)該認(rèn)命接受生活跑給自己的一切。他們會(huì)說：“這就是我的命運(yùn)，是命中注定的。要改變它我無能為力。”
當(dāng)然不是這樣!
你不必委曲求全。你的命運(yùn)取決于你自己，而不是其他外在的因素。
我認(rèn)識(shí)的一個(gè)人說她只不過是接受生活所給予的一切，因?yàn)樗呀?jīng)盡全力去改善生活了。
大家猜猜她過的是一種怎樣的生活?
她早上醒來，去上班，回家，休息，和別人聊天，看電視，然后上床休息。第二天，這種生活重復(fù)循環(huán)著。
哈，這就是她所謂的“竭盡全力”?
她認(rèn)為她已經(jīng)盡了力，在心里接受了這種想法，即這就是上帝為她安排的生活，只有上帝愿意，她的運(yùn)氣才會(huì)改變。
當(dāng)然，上帝希望我們幸?？鞓?，生活圓滿，但我們也要盡力為過上我們夢(mèng)想的生活而努力。
一份耕耘，一份收獲。
你不能坐著不動(dòng)，巴望著天上會(huì)掉下百萬美元來。你必須從沙發(fā)起身，把眼睛從電視屏幕移開，放下手中的電話--除非它有助于你獲得成功，然后全身心投入工作中!
如果你的生活并不稱心如意，不要只說：“我們的時(shí)機(jī)會(huì)來的。”或“總有一天情況會(huì)好轉(zhuǎn)的。”
別指望運(yùn)氣會(huì)改變，除非你對(duì)其有所行動(dòng)。如果出現(xiàn)問題，不要緊緊將其視為暫時(shí)的挫敗，而是把它當(dāng)成是一種反應(yīng)。吸取教訓(xùn)，充分利用當(dāng)時(shí)的情況，并采取行動(dòng)來解決問題。
積極地思考是不夠的，你還需要積極地行動(dòng)。
如果某個(gè)人的生活陷入麻煩，你只是希望和祈禱事情好轉(zhuǎn)起來嗎?當(dāng)然不是。你應(yīng)該盡你所能去解救這個(gè)人。
對(duì)于自己的生活也是這樣。僅僅抱有樂觀的態(tài)度是不夠的，而是要盡力做到最好。換句話說，不要只是站(坐)在那兒，要行動(dòng)起來改善你的生活!
