第三课 Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity

在困境中寻找成功的希望

1. There is no better school than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. Never again will I contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. Because I know: gems cannot shine without polish, and I cannot perfect myself without hardship.

2. Now I know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do, gathers so richly about my soul as when it has to suffer cruel adversity. Then everything depends on whether I raise my head or lower it. Whenever I am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, I will always inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how I can turn that adversity into good. What a great opportunity that moment might present … to take the bitter root I am holding and transform it into a fragrant garden of flowers!

3. Always will I seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.

第四课 No one can make you feel inferior 没有人可以使你感到自卑

1. I choose to feel good about myself. That way I am more open to learning. If people give me negative feedback or criticize something I do, I don’t interpret what they are saying as meaning that I am a “bad” person. The belief that I control my own self-esteem permits me to listen to and hear their feedback in a non-defensive way -- looking to see if there is something I can learn.

2. We have two choices every day. We can feel good about ourselves, or we can feel lousy about ourselves. Why would anyone choose the latter?

第五课 Hold fast to dreams 紧紧抓住梦想

1. We all have dreams. We all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference, that we can touch others in a special way, and that we can make the world a better place.

2. At one time in our lives, we all had a vision for the quality of life that we desire and deserve. Yet, for many of us, those dreams have become so shrouded 被笼罩着的 in the frustrations and routines of daily life that we no longer even make an effort to accomplish them. For far too many, the dream has dissipated 消失，消散 -- and with it, so has the will to shape our destinies. Many have lost that sense of certainty that creates the winner’s edge.

3. What we should do is to restore the dream and to make it real, to get each of us to remember and use the unlimited power that lies sleeping within us all.

第六课 Nothing can take the place of persistence 毅力无法替代

1. Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful individuals with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts 被弃置的（人）. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent 全能的.

2. Perseverance does not always mean sticking to the same thing forever. It means giving full concentration and effort to whatever you are doing, right now! It means doing the tough things first and looking downstream for gratification and rewards. It means being happy in your work, but hungry for more knowledge and progress. It means making more calls, going more miles, pulling more weeds, getting up earlier in the day and always being on the lookout for a better way of doing what you’re doing. Perseverance is success through trial and error.

第七课 I am nature’s greatest miracle

我是世上最伟大的奇迹

1. Since the beginning of time never has there been another with my mind, my heart, my eyes, my ears, my hair, my mouth.

2. I am the end product of thousands of years of evolution; therefore, I am better equipped in both mind and body than all the emperors and wise men who preceded me. I have unlimited potential. I am a unique creature.

3. I am not on this earth by chance. I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand.

4. Henceforth will I apply all my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.

5. I will win, and I will become the greatest person, for I am unique.

6. I am nature’s greatest miracle.

第八课 Stop to smell the flowers 驻足片刻闻花香

1. In the hustle and bustle of modern-day life, people seldom stop to enjoy the beauty of nature.

2. Ask yourself how many times you have listened to the birds sing. And when was the last time you looked at the sparking stars twinkle in the sky?

3. Time flies and life is short. So don’t forget to stop to smell the flowers. In our eagerness to make a living, we often forget about our quality of life. Too often you hear people say, “I’m too busy,” for this or that. What a shame! One day, when they do find time to stop to smell the flowers, it might be too late.

第九课 Join the smile and compliment club

加入到微笑者和赞美者的行列来

1. When you smile at someone and they smile back, you automatically feel better. Even if they don’t smile back, you will feel better because you know the most destitute 贫困的，一无所有的 person in the world is the one without a smile. You immediately become richer by giving that person yours.

2. The same goes for the compliment. When you sincerely compliment a person or extend him a courtesy, he is going to receive a direct benefit and like himself better. It is impossible for you to make someone feel better and not feel better yourself.

第十课 Always will I bathe my days in the sea of enthusiasm

我将永远沐浴在热情的海洋里

1. Every memorable act in the hisory of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it.

2. Without enthusiasm I am doomed to a life of mediocrity 平庸，碌碌无为 but with it I can accomplish miracles.

3. Some of us are enthusiastic at times and a few even retain their eagerness for a day or a week. All that is good but I must and I will form the habit of sustaining my enthusiasm indefinitely, honestly, and sincerely so that the success I enjoy today can be repeated tomorrow and next week and next month.

4. We first must make our habits and then, good or bad, they make us. Enthusiasm, the love for whatever it is I am doing at the moment, works in marvelous ways. I need not even attempt to understand but I do know that it will give additional vitality to my muscles and my mind.

5. Always will I bathe my days in the sea of enthusiasm.

第十一课 Allow yourself to be happy

让自己快乐

1. An estimated 70 percent of us are clinically depressed at some time in our lives.

2. Why are we so unhappy when we have so many opportunities nowadays?

3. People try everything: money, sex, career, marriage, divorce, alcohol, rock and roll and even drugs, but most of us only want one thing -- happiness.

4. Being happy is a natural part of the human condition; we just need to believe it and allow ourselves to feel it.

5. Make this affirmation: I deserve to be happy. Say it, sing it, shout it.

6. Prioritize happiness, make it your number one thing.

7. Be grateful for all you have.

第十二课 I have unparalleled imagination 我用有无与伦比的想象力

1. Now I will get what I want by means of this magic power. If my fear is to make a speech, I will imagine myself fearless and with confidence in public. If I suffer from disease, I will imagine the healthy manner I used to be. If I feel poverty, I will imagine the wealth to come.

2. Now I understand: the only limit of the human being is his imagination. The reason why I have not reached to the top is that I don’t know how to use my imagination. Now, I am proficient in this technique and will benefit from it. The best reward will be being successful and being happier.

3. I have unparalleled imagination.
