Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them: Work, Family, Health, Friends, Spirit. And you re keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls-family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed , marked, nicked , damaged or even shattered . They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.把生活想象成一个在空中抛接五只球的游戏。这五只球被你分别称为：工作、家庭、健康、友谊和精神。你努力不让它们从空中掉下来。你马上就发现惟有工作是一个橡皮球。如果你将它掉到地上，它还会弹回来。但其它四只球——家庭、健康、朋友和精神都是玻璃的。如果你把任何一个掉到地上，便会不可挽回地留下疤痕、裂缝、受损甚至摔得粉碎。它们永远也无法恢复原样。你必须懂得这一点并在生活中努力保持平衡。How?
怎样做到这一点呢？
Don t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
不要总拿自己与别人比从而贬低自身的价值。正因为我们彼此的差异不同，我们才会各有千秋。
Don t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. 别人认为重要，并不能作为你确定目标的根据。只有你自己知道，什么东西对你最好。
Don t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would cling to your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
