Many times in life we feel we need to struggle against things that are beyond our control. But if you get caught in an undertow, the best thing to do is let it take you where it will and then swim back to shore. It brings with it relaxation, rest, and an unworried state of mind. Remember in life:
生活中,我們經常會感到需要對抗自己控制范圍之外的事情。但是,如果你被困在退浪之中,最好的應對辦法是讓退浪把你帶走,然后你再自己游回岸邊。這樣比較緩和、輕松,心情也不會那么緊張。在生活中要謹記:
Taking the path of least resistance can bring inner peace. Sometimes we push and strain for what we think we need or want. But it’s like fighting the tide when you aim in the wrong direction. Water flows and so must you.
阻力最小的路會帶來內心的平靜。有時,我們以為自己需要或者想要某樣東西,于是就逼迫自己,讓自己竭盡全力。但是,這就好比沿著錯誤的方向逆流而上。水順勢而行,你也應該如此。
Don’t Forget To Stop To Gather Some Smells
不要忘記停下來尋找樂趣
Take a hold on life and slow down! Put on that wetsuit and dive down into the coral reef to soak up the beautiful visions that nature has provided us. Take the time for that walk on the beach and discover the wondrous shells the ocean has offered up for our delight.
把握生活,降低生活的速度。穿上潛水服,潛到珊瑚礁里去看看大自然的美景吧。留點時間,到海邊散散步,去尋找一下大海帶給我們那些美妙的貝殼吧。
It’s all about stopping and smelling the roses, of course. Life passes by quickly, like the flash of a jumping dolphin. I learned to appreciate the wonders of ocean life whenever I can. And I keep these visions in my mind for when I need them.
我的意思是你要停下腳步,聞一聞玫瑰花的香氣。生命短暫,時光流逝就如白駒過隙一般。我盡可能地享受海洋生命的奇妙。我時刻牢記這一想法以備不時之需。
