The Mind

如果我想利用意志力，让自己起床起早点、
吃饭吃少点、读书读多点、忧心忧少点、耐性多一点、
或爱心多一点，我只需要洁净我的思想。
So, if I want to have the inner strength to get up earlier,
eat less, read more, worry less, be more patient or be more loving,
all I have to do is exert my will to cleanse my thoughts.

当你能控制你的思绪，你便能控制你的头脑；
当你能控制你的头脑，你便能控制你的生活。
当你能控制你的生活，你便能控制你的命运。
When you control your thoughts, you control your mind.
When you control your mind, you control your life.
And once you reach the stage of being in total control of your life,
you become the master of your destiny.

你的力量比你身处的环境大，亦比困着你的过去大。
要突破这囚牢，你先要成为你意志力的主人。
You have the power to be more than your environment.
Similarly, you have the capacity to be more than a prisoner of your past.
To do this, you must become the master of your will.

记着，文字是极有影响力的，它们内有能量。
如果你满脑子仁慈的句子，你都会变仁慈；
如果你满脑子勇气的句子，你都会变勇敢。
文字是有力量的。
Remember, words are great influences.
Words are the verbal embodiment of power.
By filling your mind with words of kindness, you become kind.
By filling your mind with words of courage, you become courageous.
Words has power.

当我们出生时，我们在哭而身边的世界在欢庆。
我们应该选择的生活方式， 是当我们离开世间时，
身边的世界为了我们的离去哭泣，而我们自己在欢庆。
When we are born, we are crying while the world rejoices.
We should live our lives in such a way that when we die,
the world cries while we are rejoicing."
