NEVER fail to give thanks for every lesson you learn, no matter how difficult it may be. Realise that only the very best is bound to come out of it, and that every difficulty is but a stepping stone along the way. There are important lessons which have to be learnt, and the sooner you learn them, the better. Never try to shirk them or get around them, but see them for what they are and face them fairly and squarely. Never be like a gramophone needle that is stuck in a groove, repeating the same old mistakes over and over again. When you want to change, you can do it. When you want to be different and live a victorious life, you simply have to make up your mind that you are going to do it, and you will do it. Why not start right now seeing the very best in life, and enjoy life as it should be enjoyed?
永遠不要無法對每個我所學習的課題抱有感恩，無論這可能是多麼的困難。意識到只有最好的一定會到來，而我所遇到的每一個困難都只是途中的墊腳石。有很重要的課題需要被學習，而我越早學習它們就越好。絕不要試圖逃避或繞開它們，而是如實接納它們，直面它們。永不要像留聲機的唱針一樣，卡在了溝槽中，一次又一次重複以前的錯誤。當我希望去改變，我就可以做到。當我希望活得不一樣，活出一個勝利的人生，我僅僅只需下定決心我要這樣去做，我就會去做。為什麼不從現在開始看見生活中最好的部分，像生活理應被享受那樣去享受生活？
