英文格言：人生真知（6）

1.Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp,but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.-Nathaniel Hawthorne, American novelist

1.幸福有如蝴蝶，你追逐它时永远捉不到，你静坐下来，它却可能落在你身上。—纳撒尼尔•霍桑，美国小说家

2.Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.-Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple Inc

2.你的时间有限，不要浪费你的时间活在别人的生活里。不要被教条束缚活在别人的思想结果之中。不要让别人的意见淹没了你自已内心的声音。最重要的是，要有勇气追随你的内心与直觉。因为它们已经知道你真正想成为什么，而其他一切都是次要的。—史蒂夫•乔布斯，苹果公司创始人

3.An individual human existence should be like a river-small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately.Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly,and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being.The man who, in old age, can see his life in this way, will not suffer from the fear of death.-Bertrand Russell, English philosopher

3.一个人的存在应该像一条河流：开始很小，狭窄地被限制在两岸之间，热情奔放冲过巨石，越过瀑布。河流逐渐变宽，河岸后退，河水更为平静地流淌。到最后，河流不知不觉地融合在海洋里，毫无痛苦地失去了自我。人到了老年，如果能够这样看待自己的生命，就不会因为怕死亡而苦恼。—伯特兰•罗素，英国哲学家
