The little victories of each day
每天胜利一点点。
Sometimes the human mind operates in mysterious ways when it comes to achievements and happiness. We dream of something and we wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to arrive. Then it does and it's over, and all we really want is to curl back up in that moment before things change again.
有时成功和幸福来得太突然,唬得人们猝手不及:我们是那么渴望,等了又等,总以为成功还遥遥无期,然而它却瞬间昙花般出现了,于是我们惊愕,满心期望一切能再演绎一次。
Although there's nothing wrong with enjoying a fulfilled dream, you must realize that it's just one small moment of your life. Like every other moment, this one instance of victory is fleeting.
尽情享受胜利时刻无可厚非,但也得提醒自己:这只是人生中的一个小插曲罢了。这点成功也会成为过往。
Lifelong happiness is not found in any one particular moment, it's found in all the moments and memories leading up to our inevitable sunset –all the small victories of each day that fall between the big events.
人生的幸福不在于这一时半刻的成功,而在于漫漫岁月中的所有胜利和回忆——积少成多,小胜利终将汇成大喜悦!
Ultimately you will realize that your highest aspirations should just be a target –a point on the horizon to step towards.
最后或许你会发现,你最渴求的目标只有一个——它远远发着光,等着你去追寻。
You may not ever reach it, but you can always look up after every small step and see beauty of where that step has taken you.
或许它总是可望而不可及,但你总能仰望着它,一点一点靠近,享受沿途的风景。
