小故事

Be a Queen
做一个女王
Be a queen. Dare to be different. Be a pioneer. Be a leader. Be the kind of woman who in the face of adversity will continue to embrace life and walk fearlessly toward the challenge. Take it on! Be a truth seeker and rule your domain, whatever it is-your home, your office, your family-with a loving heart.
做一个女王。敢于与众不同。做一名先锋。做一位领袖。做这样的女性：身临逆境依然热爱生活，面对挑战仍会勇往直前。来吧！寻求真理，以爱心经营你的领域，不管是在家、在办公室，还是在家庭生活中。
Be a queen. Be tender. Continue to give birth to new ideas and rejoice in your womanhood. My prayer is that we will stop wasting time being mundane and mediocre.
做一个女王。心怀柔情。让灵思泉涌，为你的女性魅力而欣喜……我祈祷我们不再虚度年华，不再甘于平庸。
It doesn't matter what you have been through, where you come from, who your parents are-nor your social or economic status. None of that matters. What matters is how you choose to love, how you choose to express that love through your work, through your family, through what you have to give to the world...
不论你经历了什么，从哪里来，父母亲是谁，不论你的社会或经济地位怎样，这些都无关紧要。关键是你要选择怎样去爱，选择怎样从你的工作、你的家庭和你给予这个世界什么中去表达你的爱……
Be a queen. Own your power and your glory!
做一个女王。拥有你的权力和荣耀！
