人生好似一个包裹，这个包裹里藏着快乐与悲伤、成功与失败，希望与绝望。人生也是一个学习的过程。人生经历教会我们新的东西，让我们变得更出色。随着时光一天天流逝，我们学会了处理各种各样的问题。

Love

爱

Love plays a pivotal role on our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.

爱在生活之中扮演了一个关键的角色。爱使你感到自己被需要。没有爱，可能会误入歧途，也可能变得凶暴、残忍。在我们最初的人生道路上，父母给予了我们无条件的关爱，他们教会我们判断正确与错误、分辨好与坏。然而我们常常把这认为是理所当然的，只有等到我们成家生子后，才会懂得并理解别人的感受。孩子让我们变得富有责任心、成熟稳重，并且更好的理解人生。

Happiness and Sorrow

快乐与悲伤

Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.

物质上的快乐往往是短暂的，然而，当你为他人带来笑容的时候，这种快乐让你获得满足。心灵的平静往往是快乐的源泉。没有平和的心态就没有快乐的心情。 在伤心的时候，我们往往能够体会到快乐的真谛。悲伤基本都来自于一个爱人的去世、失败还有绝望，但是这样的事情都是暂时的，总会过去的。

Failure and Success

失败与成功

Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.

失败是成功之母。它让我们触及蓝天，它教会我们如何生存，它给予我们一条特殊的路。成功给予我们金钱、名誉、骄傲和自尊。这里，保持头脑清醒便显得尤为重要。上帝给予我们成功，我们表达感激的唯一方式便是始终卑微、谦虚、礼貌，并且尊重没有我们幸运的人们。

Hope and Despair

希望与绝望

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.

希望是人生动力之源。父母总是希望自己的孩子能够做得很好。希望使我们有梦想。希望使我们变得有耐心。人生教会我们即使是在最困难的时候都不要绝望，因为黑暗之后终将是黎明。没有什么是一成不变的，我们惟有充满希望地继续生活。

Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

人生教会我们不要对过去的事感到后悔，因为过去的终究是过去了，我们无法控制。没人知道明天会是怎样，因为它可能是光明的同样也可能是无趣的。所以，唯一的选择便是在今天努力，这样才能让我们去享受更美好的明天。
