the rules for being human

1. You will receive a body.

You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire period.

1.你將擁有一個軀體。

你可以喜之也可以惡之，但它畢生都會屬于你。

2. You will learn lessons.

You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called Life. Each day in this school you will learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them irrelevant and stupid.

2.你將接受教育。

你入讀了一所叫做"生活"的大學的全日制非正式學校。在學校的每一天你都將接受教育。你可以愛你所愛或者視之無聊而又豪無裨益。

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons.

Growth is a process of trial and error: Experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiment that ultimately "works".

3.沒有過失，只有教訓。

成長就是反復"嘗試-犯錯"的漸進過程，或者說是實驗。那些所謂"失敗"的實驗和最終"奏效"的實驗一樣重要，都是這個過程的一部分。

4. A lesson is repeated until learned.

A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. Once learned, you then go on to the next lesson.

4.同樣的教訓會不斷重復直到你真正領(lǐng)悟為止。

同樣的教訓會以不同的形式不斷出現(xiàn)在你面前直到你學會為止。而一旦你學會了，就會馬上進入下一課的學習。

5. Learning lessons does not end.

There is no part of life that does not contain its lessons. If you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

5.學無止境。

生活的每個部分無不包含可學之處。只要活著，你就學無止境。

6. "There" is no better than "here".

When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here".

當你終于擁有了不曾擁有的東西，你只會發(fā)現(xiàn)自己又在向往別的東西，它們看起來總比你擁有的東西要好些。

7. Others are merely mirrors of you.

You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects something you love or hate about yourself.

7.他人只是你的鏡子。

不要去愛慕或憎惡別人的品性，除非這些品性在你自己身上也能找到，而你以同樣的態(tài)度處之。

8. What you make of your life is up to you.

You have all the tools and resources you need.

What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

8.要過怎樣的生活由你作主。

你掌握著陸一切你所需的工具和資源，怎么用全由你作主。決策權(quán)在你手中。

9. The answers to Life’s questions lie inside you.

All you need to do is look, listen and trust.

9.生活的答案皆藏心中。

你只須觀察，聆聽和信任。

10. You will forget all of this.

10.生活中你會忘記所有這些準則。
