生活中的五个球

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.You name them —work,family,health,friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air.
想像生活是一个杂耍游戏，你不停地抛接空中的5个球。这5个球是工作、家庭、健康、友谊和精神生活，你必须使它们都保持在空中。
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 these ,they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked ,incked ,damaged or even shattered .They will never be the same .You must understand that and strive for balance in your life .
你很快就会明白工作是个橡皮球，掉在地上，它会重新弹起来。但其他4个球：家庭、健康、友谊和精神生活，都是玻璃做的。如果失手落地，它们就会被磨损、出现裂痕、缺口、被损坏，甚至粉粹，并且这些损失都无可挽回。一旦落地，它们再也不能恢复原状。你必须明白这一点，并在生活中竭力取得平衡。
How?
Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
怎么做呢?
不要妄自菲薄、盲目攀比。正是因为我们每个人各不相同，我们才显得独特。
Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you .
不要以别人的观点来设定自己的目标。只有你知道什么最适合自己。
