What Is Success
成功的内涵
Ralph Waldo Emerson
拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生
What is success? To laugh often and love much; To win the respect of intelligent people
成功是什么? 笑口常开,爱心永在, 赢得智者的尊重,
And the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics
孩子们的爱戴; 博得真诚的认可,
And endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others;
容忍损友的背叛;欣赏美好的东西, 发现别人的可爱。
To give one’s self; To leave the world a little better, Whether by a healthy child,
学会无私地奉献, 给世界增添光彩:要么培育出健康的孩子,
A garden patch, Or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm
要么留下花园一块, 亦或是改善社会条件;尽情娱乐、笑得畅快,
And sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier,
把欢乐的歌唱起来;甚至知道一个生命活得自在,
Because you have lived… This is to have succeeded.
因为你的一路走来…… 这就是成功的内涵。
