A Creed to Live By
佚名 / Anonymous
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other.
Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don’t dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you’re going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
不要与他人比较，从而损毁了自己的价值，因为我们都是独一无二的，每个人都很特别。
不要以别人认为重要的东西，来设立自己的目标。只有你知道自己最想要什么。
不要忽视最贴近你心灵的东西，要像对待自己的生命一样，去珍爱它们。因为，没有了它们，生命便毫无意义。
不要沉浸于往昔或将来，这会让生命从指尖流逝。珍视生活中的每一天，这样，你就拥有了生命的全部时光。
不要在还未尽全力之前轻易放弃。没有什么会真正结束，除非你停止努力。
不要害怕承认自己不够完美，维系人与人之间关系的正是这根脆弱的线。
不要害怕遭遇风险，只有抓住这样的机会，我们才能学会勇敢。
不要说真爱难寻，而将你生命中的爱拒之门外。付出爱才能最快地得到爱，而将爱束缚得太紧，则会更快地失去爱。赋予爱一双翅膀，才能让爱长驻。
不要放弃你的梦想，生活没有了梦想，就失去了希望；没有希望，就失去了方向。
不要让生命的脚步行进得太快，而忘记自己曾经身在何方、去往何处。人生是一段旅程，而不是赛跑，途中的每一步，都值得你去细细品味。
