穷其一生，我们也难以解开生命的秘密。事实上，生命的秘密就在每一个人的手里。珍惜每一分、每一秒、不让时光虚度，以有限的生命追求无限的美好理想。生命的秘密——就是追求的过程。

The Secret Of Life 生命的秘密

As the Lord God was creating the world he called upon his archangels．The Lord asked his archangels to help him decide where to put the Secret of Life.

“Bury it in the ground，”one angel replied.

“Put it on the bottom of the sea，”said another.

“Hide it in the mountains，”another suggested.

The Lord replied，“If I see to do any of those，only a few will find the Secret of Life．The Secret of Life must be accessible to EVERY-ONE！”

One angel replied，“I know：put it in each man’s heart．Nobody will think to look there.”

“Yes！”said the Lord．“Within each one’s heart.”

And so it was——The SECRET OF LIFE lies within all of us.

上帝创造世界的时候召来了他的天使长们，请他们帮助决定应该把生命的秘密放在哪里。

“把它埋在地下。”一个天使答道。

“把它放到海底。”另一个说道。

“把它藏在山里。”又一个天使建议。

上帝回答说：“如果我照你们说的方法做的话，那么这个世界上只有一小部分人能找到它。而我希望每个人都有可能找到生命的秘密！”

一个天使答道：“我知道了，把它放在每个人的心里。没有哪个人会想到它被放在那儿。”

“对啊！”上帝非常赞同，“放在每个人的心里。”

于是真的——生命的秘密就在我们每个人的心里。

Joy In The Journey 生命重在过程

If you have ever been discouraged because of failure，please read on.

For often，achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing．Let me explain.

Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house．As they were working，a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.

“What are you doing？”asked one of the visitors.

“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth！”one of the brothers volunteered excitedly.

The older boys began to laugh，telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible.

After a long silence，one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders，worms and a wide assortment of insects．He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the scoffing visitors.

Then he said quietly and confidently，“Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth，look what we found along the way！”

Their goal was far too ambitious，but it did cause them to dig．And that is what a goal is for-to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen; in other words，to set us to digging！

如果你曾因失败沮丧过，请继续读下去。

完成你经常开始要做的事可不是大事，让我娓娓道来。

有兄弟俩人决定在他们房子后面挖一个深洞。就在他们不停挖洞时，几个年龄大点的男孩在附近停下来观看。

“你们在做什么？”其中一个问道。

“我们计划挖一个洞，一直穿过地球到达另一端！”兄弟俩中的一个兴奋地抢先说道。

这些大男孩开始大笑，告诉这两个兄弟挖洞穿过地球是不可能的。

长长的沉寂之后，其中一个挖掘者从洞里拿出一个装满蜘蛛、蠕虫和各种各样昆虫的罐子，他打开盖子把这些奇妙的东西展示给那些嘲讽者看。

然后他平静而又自信地说：“即使我们挖不到地球另一端，但看看我们途中发现的东西！”

他们的目标是太过于雄心勃勃了，但确实鼓励他们去做了。而这就是目标之所在——使我们朝着我们所选择的方向前进，换句话说，就是让我们去挖掘！

But not every goal will be fully achieved．Not every job will end successfully．Not every relationship will endure．Not every hope will come to pass．Not every love will last．Not every endeavor will be completed．Not every dream will be realized.

But when you fall short of your aim，perhaps you can say，“Yes，but look at what I found along the way！Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something！”

It is in the digging that life is lived．And I believe it is joy in the journey，in the end，that truly matters.

但不是每一个目标都会完全实现，也不是每一样工作都能够最终成功；不是每一种关系都能够持久，也不是每一丝希望都能够达成；不是每一次爱都能够天长地久，不是每一次努力都会硕果累累，也不是每一个梦想都能够实现。

但当你没有达到目标时，也许你可以说：“是的，但看看我们途中所发现的东西！看看这些因为我尽力去做而走进我生活的美妙东西！”

生命正是在挖掘的过程中才具有活力。而且我相信到最后真正要紧的还是过程中的乐趣。

Focus On The Joy 为快乐而做

It’s the Holiday Season—a new year is just around the corner！I’ll bet you’re already thinking about how you’d like next year to be a little different than the last，right？

But instead of thinking of performance，and efficiency，and control，I’d like you to take this opportunity to think about how many things in your daily life that you do “just for the joy of it”？

What I’m talking about here is value-based happiness (as opposed to temporary happiness).

又到假期了——新的一年就要来临了！我相信你一定考虑了来年如何比今年多些变化，对否？

不过，你不要考虑什么业绩、效率以及管理，我建议你趁此机会想一想，在日常生活中有多少事情你是“为了快乐才去做”的呢？

我在这儿所谈的是基于价值的幸福（与暂时的幸福相反）。

Value-based happiness refers to the general feeling of well being that you experience when you are doing what you perceive to be meaningful—when it’s something that’s important to you.

When you love what you do，you naturally become more efficient．When you do things for the joy of It，you’ll rise above problems，and move easier through life.

Value-based happiness is a by product from living a life Focused on the Joy．It is the by product of doing things not for what you get in return，not because you “should”or “have-to”，but because you want to，because they are a part of your highest goals，and what you value.

Value-based happiness comes from looking at things with your heart，not just your eyes.

You create value-based happiness by Focusing on the Joy of life，instead of constantly looking for the next new thing that might make you feel better about yourself，about your life.

So how do you Focus on the Joy？

Throw out your ideas about control，effectiveness，and goals．(Yes，they are important，but let’s just try something different，ok？)

Instead—

Focus on Learning．Instead of making a goal to achieve more in your job，decide instead to read and learn how to do one new thing each week.

Focus on Time．Schedule your time to include what’s im
