The little victories of each day
每天勝利一點點。
Sometimes the human mind operates in mysterious ways when it comes to achievements and happiness. We dream of something and we wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to arrive. Then it does and it's over, and all we really want is to curl back up in that moment before things change again.
有時成功和幸福來得太突然,唬得人們猝手不及:我們是那么渴望,等了又等,總以為成功還遙遙無期,然而它卻瞬間曇花般出現了,于是我們驚愕,滿心期望一切能再演繹一次。
Although there's nothing wrong with enjoying a fulfilled dream, you must realize that it's just one small moment of your life. Like every other moment, this one instance of victory is fleeting.
盡情享受勝利時刻無可厚非,但也得提醒自己:這只是人生中的一個小插曲罷了。這點成功也會成為過往。
Lifelong happiness is not found in any one particular moment, it's found in all the moments and memories leading up to our inevitable sunset –all the small victories of each day that fall between the big events.
人生的幸福不在于這一時半刻的成功,而在于漫漫歲月中的所有勝利和回憶——積少成多,小勝利終將匯成大喜悅!
Ultimately you will realize that your highest aspirations should just be a target –a point on the horizon to step towards.
最后或許你會發現,你最渴求的目標只有一個——它遠遠發著光,等著你去追尋。
You may not ever reach it, but you can always look up after every small step and see beauty of where that step has taken you.
或許它總是可望而不可及,但你總能仰望著它,一點一點靠近,享受沿途的風景。
