Today I will be master of my emotions.
今天我學會控制情緒。
The tides advance; the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes. summer wanes and the cold increases. The sun rises; the sun sets. The moon is full; the moon is black. The birds arrive; the birds depart. Flowers bloom; flowers fade. Seeds are sown; harvests are reaped. all nature is a circle of moods and I am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise; my moods will fall.
潮起潮落，冬去春來，夏末秋至，日出日落，月圓月缺，雁來雁往，花飛花謝，草長瓜熟，自然界萬物都在循環(huán)往復的變化中，我也不例外，情緒會時好時壞。

今天我學會控制情緒。
It is one of nature’s tricks, little understood, that each day I awaken with moods that have changed from yesterday. Yesterday’s joy wilI become today’s sadness; yet today’s sadness will grow into tomorrow’s joy. Inside me is a wheel, constantly turning from sadness to joy, from exultation to depression, from happiness to melancholy. Like the flowers, today’s full bloom of joy will fade and wither into despondency, yet I will remember that as today’s dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow’s bloom so, too, does today’s sadness carry the seed of tomorrow’s joy.
這是大自然的玩笑，很少有人窺破天機。每天我醒來時，不再有舊日的心情。昨日的快樂變成今天的哀愁，今天的悲傷又轉(zhuǎn)為明日的喜悅。我心中像一只輪子不停地轉(zhuǎn)著，由樂而悲，由悲而喜，由喜而憂。這就好比花兒的變化，今天枯敗的花兒蘊藏著明天新生的種子，今天的悲傷也預示著明天的快樂。

And how will I master these emotions so that each day will be productive? For unless my mood is right the day will be a failure. Trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish but I make my own weather, yea I transport it with me. If I bring rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism to my customers then they will react with rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism and they will purchase naught. If I bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter to my customers they will react with joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter and my weather will produce a harvest of sales and a granary of gold for me.
我怎樣才能控制情緒，以使每天卓有成效呢?除非我心平氣和，否則迎來的又將是失敗的一天?；ú輼淠?，隨著氣候的變化而生長，但是我為自己創(chuàng)造天氣。我要學會用自己的心靈彌補氣候的不足。如果我為顧客帶來風雨、憂郁、黑暗和悲觀，那么他們也會報之于風雨、憂郁、黑暗和悲觀，而他們什么也不會買。相反的，如果我們?yōu)轭櫩瞳I上歡樂、喜悅、光明和笑聲，他們也會報之以歡樂、喜悅、光明和笑聲，我就能獲得銷售上的豐收，賺取成倉的金幣。

And how will I master my emotions so that every day is a happy day, and a productive one? I will learn this secret of the ages: Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts. Each day, when I awaken, I will follow this plan of battle before I am captured by the forces of sadness, self-pity and failure-
我怎樣才能控制情緒，讓每天充滿幸福和歡樂?我要學會這個千古秘訣：弱者任思緒控制行為，強者讓行控制思緒。每天醒來當我被悲傷、自憐、失敗的情緒包圍時，我就這樣與之對抗：
If I feel depressed I will sing.
沮喪時，我引吭高歌。
If I feel sad I will laugh.
悲傷時，我開懷大笑。
If I feel ill I will double my labor.
病痛時，我加倍工作。
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
恐懼時，我勇往直前。
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
自卑時，我換上新裝。
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
不安時，我提高嗓聲。
If I feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
窮困潦倒時，我想象未來的富有。
If I feel incompetent I will remember past success.
力不從心時，我回想過去的成功。
If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
自輕自賤時，我想想自己的目標。
