Lesson #9 – Time

　　第9堂课：珍惜时间

　　“If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”

　　“若你热爱生命，就不要浪费时间，因为生命是由时间构成的。”

　　We all start each day with 24 hours in the bank; the difference is what we do with it.

　　我们每人每天都在银行存了24小时；区别在于我们用这24小时做什么。

　　Lesson #10 – Failure

　　第10堂课：失败受挫

　　“Don’t fear failure. — Not failure, but low aim, is the crime. In great attempts it is glorious even to fail.”

　　“不要怕失败受挫。失败不是罪过目标太低才是罪过。大胆尝试虽败犹荣。”

　　Failure is a natural part of the learning process for anything we do. No parent has ever watched their child fall while trying to take their first steps and said, “well, I guess they’re not a walker.” So why would you do this to yourself?

　　失败是我们学习做任何事情的过程中的一个自然组成部分。全天下父母看着自己的孩子试着迈出第一步时都不会说：“嗯，我估计这孩子不会走路。” 那么你为什么要这样对自己呢？

　　Lesson #11 – Perseverance

　　第11堂课：坚持不懈

　　“Do not pray for an easy life, pray for the strength to endure a difficult one.”

　　“不要祈求过一种轻松的生活，要祈求赐予你忍受困难日子的力量。”

　　You are always going to have problems and challenges in your life. Success in any area is simply learning how to overcome bigger and bigger challenges.

　　生活中总有各种问题和挑战。在任何领域的成功都只不过是学着如何克服更大的挑战而已。

　　Lesson #12 – Flexibility And Adaptability

　　第12堂课：灵活性&适应性

　　“Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves.

　　“水滴石穿。不要独断专行，要适应目标对象，有目标有对象就会找到方法。如果内在不够坚定，外在会表露无遗。 ”

　　Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”

　　放空你的思想，透明的、无定形的、像水一样，如果你将水放入杯子，它就变成杯子的形状；你将水放入瓶子，它就变成瓶子的形状；你把水放入茶杯中，它就变成茶杯的形状；水可以柔软的流动，也可以坚硬的凝结，像水一样吧，我的朋友。

　　Become flexible and adaptable in your daily life and problems will roll off your shoulders. Tension is only created when results do not met our expectations or perception of how the world should be.

　　日常生活中变得有灵活性和适应性，面临问题才能迎刃而解。只有我们对这个世界的期望未实现时，才产生了压力。

　　Lesson #13 – Simplification

　　第13堂课：简单化

　　“It’s not the daily increase but daily decrease. Hack away at the unessential.”

　　“不是一天天的增加而是要一天天的减少，减去那些不必要的东西。”

　　“Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own.”

　　“要适应环境，拒绝无用的，再加上你自己的特别之处。”

　　When you clear your life and mind of the unessential then amazing things start to happen. Be ruthless in asking, “does this serve my greater life purpose?”

　　明确你的生活和思想上的重要目标，那么神奇的事情就会出现。反问自己：“这是不是我人生的一大目标？”

　　Lesson #14 – Relationships

　　第14堂课：人际关系

　　“To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.”

　　“想要了解一个人就要去研究这个人与那个人的行为差别。”

　　Let go of the behaviors and actions of others as you can never change someone else. Instead look at how you interact (and react) with others, as this is a reflection of your own beliefs.

　　由他去吧！你无法改变别人的做法。而要看你如何影响他人，这才是自己的信仰的真实反映。

　　Lesson #15 – Service

　　第15堂课：服务精神

　　“Real living is living for others.”

　　“为别人活着才是真正的活着。”

　　Realize that anything you want in life can be obtained by helping others get what they want.

　　认识到这样一个道理：生活中你想要的东西都可以通过帮助别人来得到自己想要的东西。

　　Lesson #16 – Live In The Moment

　　第16堂课： 活在当下

　　“Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.”

　　“处之泰然。当出拳则出拳；当踢腿则踢腿。”

　　Always focus your attention on the present moment. Your past does not determine your future–that comes from what you do in this exact moment.

　　一直把注意力集中在当下。你的过去并不决定你的未来，关键在于你当下在做什么。
