点亮你人生的金玉良言（中英文）

我喜欢激励人心的箴言，它们浓缩成短短一两行，却是十分有力量的至理名言。每当我看到这些箴言，我都会被深深启发，并付诸实践。我至今记得，我还是个高中生时，最喜欢在大大的笔记本封面上写上各种箴言，因为它们饱含着丰富的人生哲理。如今，我在办公桌前的布告栏里贴满各种箴言，并经常去更新它们，这些箴言都是某个时间段里最能让我产生共鸣的。每当我抬头，我都能看到它们在我眼前，好像一个个都在对我点头肯定似的。
下面我会分享我最喜欢的箴言，我不会加上任何解说词，因为箴言是不证自明的。我希望你读了之后会像我一样，产生巨大的共鸣。“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” – Albert Einstein“世上只有两种对待生活的方法，一种是：人生不存在奇迹，另一种则是：事事皆是奇迹。”——爱因斯坦

If you don’t aim for it all, you’ll never get it all. To aim for it requires that you know what you want” ~ Richard Koch“你想要的每一件东西应该都是发自你内心的：你真心愿意从事的工作，你想要的各种社会关系，各种让你快乐与满足的来自社会、精神、美学的激励，用以维持你生活所需的金钱，成就自己或服务他人所要求你具备的各种必要条件。如果你没有目标，你将一事无成。而要有目标，首先就要知道自己想要什么。”——理查德·科克

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned 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“你们的时间有限,所以不要把时间浪费在别人的生活里。不要被条条框框束缚,否则你就生活在他人思考的结果里。不要让别人的意见淹没你的心声，最重要的是，勇敢听从自己的心与直觉，它们可能已经知道你想成为一个什么样的人。其他事物都是次要的。”——斯蒂夫·乔布斯
