The Scroll Marked Six 羊皮卷之六
Today I will be master of my emotions.
今天我學(xué)會(huì)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(lái)，夏末秋至，日出日落，月圓月缺，雁來(lái)雁往，花飛花謝，草長(zhǎng)瓜熟，自然界萬(wàn)物都在循環(huán)往復(fù)的變化中，我也不例外，情緒會(huì)時(shí)好時(shí)壞。
Today I will be master of my emotions.
今天我學(xué)會(huì)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(jī)。每天我醒來(lái)時(shí)，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(zhuǎn)為明日的喜悅。我心中像一只輪子不停地轉(zhuǎn)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(yùn)藏著明天新生的種子，今天的悲傷也預(yù)示著明天的快樂。
Today I will be master of my emotions.
今天我學(xué)會(huì)控制情緒。
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(lái)的又將是失敗的一天。花草樹木，隨著氣候的變化而生長(zhǎng)，但是我為自己創(chuàng)造天氣。我要學(xué)會(huì)用自己的心靈彌補(bǔ)氣候的不足。如果我為顧客帶來(lái)風(fēng)雨、憂郁、黑暗和悲觀，那么他們也會(huì)報(bào)之于風(fēng)雨、憂郁、黑暗和悲觀，而他們什么也不會(huì)買。相反的，如果我們?yōu)轭櫩瞳I(xiàn)上歡樂、喜悅、光明和笑聲，他們也會(huì)報(bào)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(cāng)的金幣。
