Balance of Life

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them:work, family, health, friends,and spirit,and you're keeping all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls–family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.

How? Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would, for without them, life is meaningless. Don't let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time you live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn to be brave.Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going. Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

想象下,人生就好比是你在玩游戏时当空飘起的的五个球儿.它们依次叫做:工作、家庭、健康、友谊、心灵，你把它们都放飞在空中。很快地，你就会发现“工作”是个弹力球儿。就算你松开手不去管它，它还会是会再次跳起来。但是其他的那四个球儿——家庭、健康、友谊 和心灵是玻璃般制成的。如果你丢下它们中的任何一个，它注定就会划伤了、有擦痕了、被弄坏了，甚至裂成碎片了。不可能再完好如初了。因此，你必须了解这点，并为掌握它们之间的分配与平衡努力。

如何去做到平衡各方呢？不要跟他人攀比而磨灭你本身的价值。因为每个人都不尽相同，一个人一条路。不要因为其他人的判断而错置目标。只有你自己最清楚自己。别把最贴心的事情当成理所当然。尽可能地紧紧抓紧它们，因为你的人生要是没有它们，也许丝毫不起色。不要总是怀念过去或者憧憬前路而让当下的时间匆匆从指间流逝。过好每天就如同你人生中每一天都该如此。当你能给予别人的时候千万别泄劲。很多都是你放弃后才失去了可能。

不要惧怕承认自己不够完美。正是由于人存在不足才把我们大家聚到一起;不要惧怕遇到困难.在抓住机会的过程中学会勇敢.不要在生活中因为难遇真情而对此紧缩心扉.得到爱情的最好方式是付出感情;失去爱情最快的方式是对它紧抓不放;保持爱情的最好方式是彼此给对方空间.

生活里面不要过得太匆匆,不然你会茫然现在身处何方,而且也会对前路观望.不要忘了每个人最强的感情需求就是别人的认同和支持.与人交谈或者安排时间时要多多用心.因为“一言既出，驷马难追”.人生不是一场竞赛,而是一次旅途,好好享受你路上的每一处风景吧.
