I Have Learned.....

(Part I)

 

 

 

 

我終於了解-

你無法強迫別人愛你。

你所能做的,是使自己成為可愛的人。

此外,則不是你所能決定的。

I've learned -

that you cannot make someone love you.

All you can do is be someone who can be loved.

The rest is up to them.

 

 

 

我終於了解-

不論我如何付出關懷,

有些人就是無動於衷。

I've learned -

that no matter how much I care,

some people just don't care back.

 

 

 

我終於了解-

建立起信任,需費時多年,

但只需幾秒就能摧毀它。

I've learned -

that it takes years to build up trust,

and only seconds to destroy it.

 

 

 

我終於了解-

重要的不是你一生中擁有了什麼東西,

而是你一生中擁有了什麼人。

I've learned -

that it's not what you have in your life

but who you have in your life that counts.

 

 

 

我終於了解-

你可以藉由魅力達到目的,

但只能維持15分鐘。

此後,你最好要有些真材實料。

I've learned -

that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.

After that, you'd better know something.

 

 

 

我終於了解-

你不應該拿自己和別人的最佳表現相比,

而應該和自己的最佳表現相比。

I've learned -

that you shouldn't compare

yourself to the best others can do

but to the best you can do.

 

 

 

我終於了解-

重要的不是發生在人們身上的事,

而是他們對那事的反應。

I've learned -

that it's not what happens to people

that's important. It's what they do about it.

 

 

 

我終於了解-

你在瞬間所做的事,

可以叫你心痛一輩子。

I've learned -

that you can do something in an instant

that will give you heartache for life.

 

 

 

我終於了解-

不論你切得多薄,

事情總是具有兩面。

I've learned -

that no matter how thin you slice it,

there are always two sides.

 

 

 

我終於了解-

需要經歷很長的時日,

才能使我成為我所欲成為的人。

I've learned -

that it's taking me a long time

to become the person I want to be.
