Today I will be master of my emotions.
今天我學會控制情緒。
The tides advance; the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes. summer wanes and the cold increases. The sun rises; the sun sets. The moon is full; the moon is black. The birds arrive; the birds depart. Flowers bloom; flowers fade. Seeds are sown; harvests are reaped. all nature is a circle of moods and I am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise; my moods will fall.
潮起潮落，冬去春來，夏末秋至，日出日落，月圓月缺，雁來雁往，花飛花謝，草長瓜熟，自然界萬物都在循環往復的變化中，我也不例外，情緒會時好時壞。
Today I will be master of my emotions.
今天我學會控制情緒。
It is one of nature’s tricks, little understood, that each day I awaken with moods that have changed from yesterday. Yesterday’s joy wilI become today’s sadness; yet today’s sadness will grow into tomorrow’s joy. Inside me is a wheel, constantly turning from sadness to joy, from exultation to depression, from happiness to melancholy. Like the flowers, today’s full bloom of joy will fade and wither into despondency, yet I will remember that as today’s dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow’s bloom so, too, does today’s sadness carry the seed of tomorrow’s joy.
這是大自然的玩笑，很少有人窺破天機。每天我醒來時，不再有舊日的心情。昨日的快樂變成今天的哀愁，今天的悲傷又轉為明日的喜悅。我心中像一只輪子不停地轉著，由樂而悲，由悲而喜，由喜而憂。這就好比花兒的變化，今天枯敗的花兒蘊藏著明天新生的種子，今天的悲傷也預示著明天的快樂。

And how will I master these emotions so that each day will be productive? For unless my mood is right the day will be a failure. Trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish but I make my own weather, yea I transport it with me. If I bring rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism to my customers then they will react with rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism and they will purchase naught. If I bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter to my customers they will react with joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter and my weather will produce a harvest of sales and a granary of gold for me.
我怎樣才能控制情緒，以使每天卓有成效呢?除非我心平氣和，否則迎來的又將是失敗的一天。花草樹木，隨著氣候的變化而生長，但是我為自己創造天氣。我要學會用自己的心靈彌補氣候的不足。如果我為顧客帶來風雨、憂郁、黑暗和悲觀，那么他們也會報之于風雨、憂郁、黑暗和悲觀，而他們什么也不會買。相反的，如果我們為顧客獻上歡樂、喜悅、光明和笑聲，他們也會報之以歡樂、喜悅、光明和笑聲，我就能獲得銷售上的豐收，賺取成倉的金幣。

And how will I master my emotions so that every day is a happy day, and a productive one? I will learn this secret of the ages: Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts. Each day, when I awaken, I will follow this plan of battle before I am captured by the forces of sadness, self-pity and failure-
我怎樣才能控制情緒，讓每天充滿幸福和歡樂?我要學會這個千古秘訣：弱者任思緒控制行為，強者讓行控制思緒。每天醒來當我被悲傷、自憐、失敗的情緒包圍時，我就這樣與之對抗：
If I feel depressed I will sing.
沮喪時，我引吭高歌。
If I feel sad I will laugh.
悲傷時，我開懷大笑。

If I feel incompetent I will remember past success.

If I feel insignificant I will remember my goals.
自輕自賤時，我想想自己的目標。
Today I will be master of my emotions.
今天我要學會控制自己的情緒。
Henceforth, I will know that only those with inferior ability can always be at their best, and I am not inferior. There will be days When I must IN THE WORLD constantly struggle against forces which would tear me down. Those such as despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there are others which approach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can also destroy me. Against them, too, I must never relinquish control-
從今往后，我明白了，只有低能者才會江郎才盡，我并非低能者，我必須不斷對抗那限些企圖摧垮我的力量。失望與悲傷一眼就會被識破，而其它許多敵人是不易覺察的。它們往往面帶微笑，卻隨時可能將我們摧垮。對它們，我們永遠不能放松警惕。
If I become overconfident I will recall my failures.
自高自大時，我要追尋失敗的記憶。
If I overindulge I will think of past hungers.
縱情得意時，我要記得挨餓的日子。
If I feel complacency I will remember my competition.
洋洋得意時，我要想想競爭的對手。
If I enjoy moments of greatness I will remember moments of shame.
沾沾自喜時，不要忘了那忍辱的時刻。
If I feel all-powerful I will try to stop the wind.
自以為是時，看看自己能否讓步駐步。
If I attain great wealth I will remember one unfed mouth.
腰纏萬貫時，想想那些食不果腹的人。
If l become overly proud I will remember a moment of weakness.
驕傲自滿時，要想到自己怯懦的時候。
If I feel my skill is unmatched I will look at the stars.
不可一世時，讓我抬頭，仰望群星。
Today I will be master of my emotions.
今天我學會控制情緒。
And with this new knowledge I will also understand and recognize the moods of him on whom I call. I will make allowances for his anger and irritation of today for he knows not the secret of controlling his mind. I can withstand his arrows and insults for now I know that tomorrow he will change and be a joy to approach.
有了這項新本領，我也更能體察別人的情緒變化。我寬容怒氣沖沖的人，因為他尚未懂得控制自己的情緒，就可以忍受他的指責與辱罵，因為我知道明天他會改變，重新變得隨和。
No longer will I judge a man on one meeting; no longer will I fail to call again tomorrow on he who meets me with hate today. This day he will not buy gold chariots for a penny, yet tomorrow he would exchange his home for a tree. My knowledge of this secret will be my key to great wealth.
我不再只憑一面之交來判斷一個人，也不再一時的怨恨與人絕交，今天不肯花一分錢買金蓬馬車的人，明天也許會用全部家當換樹苗。知道了這個秘密，我可以獲得極大的財富。
Today l will be master of my emotions.

Henceforth I will recognize and identify the mystery of moods in all mankind, and in me. From this moment I am prepared to control whatever personality awakes in me each day. I will master my moods through positive action and when I master my moods I will control my destiny.
我從此領悟人類情緒的變化的奧秘。對于自己千變萬化的個性，我不再聽之任之，我知道，只有積極主動地控制情緒，才能掌握自己的命運。
Today I control my destiny, and my destiny is to become the greatest salesman in the world!
我控制自己的命運就是成為世界上最偉大的推銷員!

我由此而變得偉大。
