Given a time machine or a Time Turner, I would tell my 21-year-old self that personal happiness lies in knowing that life is not a check-list of acquisition or achievement. Your qualifications, your CV, are not your life…Life is difficult, and complicated, and beyond anyone's total control, and the humility to know that will enable you to survive its vicissitudes. 如果给我一部时间机器，我会告诉21岁的自己，人的幸福在于知道生活不是一份漂亮的成绩单，你的资历、简历，都不是你的生活。生活是艰辛的，复杂的，超出任何人的控制能力，而谦恭地了解这一点，将使你历经沧桑后能够更好的生存。 背景音乐：The Theory of Everything--Johann Johannson 关注公众号喜马外语说，回复“资料”送你英语礼包噢

When I die, I want your hands on my eyes: I want the light and the wheat of your beloved hands to pass their freshness over me once more: I want to feel the softness that changed my destiny. I want you to live while I wait for you, asleep. I want your ears still to hear the wind, I want you to sniff the sea’s aroma that we loved together, to continue to walk on the sand we walk on. I want what I love to continue to live, and you whom I love and sang above everything else to continue to flourish, full-flowered: so that you can reach everything my love directs you to, so that my shadow can travel along in your hair, so that everything can learn the reason for my song. 当我死时， 愿你用双手捂住我的眼睛， 愿你可爱的手中的光芒 和麦穗的清香再一次从我的身上飘过， 让我感受这改变我命运的柔情。 当我安息时，我愿你活着，我等着你。 愿你的耳朵继续将风儿倾听， 闻着我们共同爱过的大海的芬芳， 继续踏在我们一起踏过的沙滩上。 愿我的所爱继续活着， 我曾爱你，曾为你将万物歌唱， 因此，你要继续绚烂地如花怒放。 为了让你得到我的爱所赋予你的一切， 为了让我的影子漫步在你的秀发上， 为了让人们明白我为什么如此歌唱。 背景音乐：班得瑞--天堂

今天和大家分享的，是一个TED演讲，面对人生重要抉择，该如何思考。 我们总会遇到各式各样的重要而艰难的抉择，hard choices. It might be between two careers, artist and accountant; or places to live, the city or the country, or even between two people to marry—you could marry Amy or you could marry Betty. 该找什么工作，该学什么专业，甚至该和谁结婚，我们似乎永远纠结不完。而哲学家Ruth Chang说，这是因为我们思考的方式出了问题。 …… 【英文文本】 It’s here, in the space of hard choices that we get to exercise our normative power, the power to create reasons for yourself. 唯有在这个有艰难选择的世界里，我们才能锻炼自己的规范性力量，为自己创造理由，让自己变成心中想成为的人。 背景音乐：Jóhann Jóhannsson - The Theory of Everything

"The song is saying things that balance each other out: even when I lose, I'm winning; my head's under water, but I'm breathing fine; I give you all of me, you give me all of you. At the same time as you're giving everything up, you're gaining everything, and that's what the whole song is about. If you're in love and you connect, then even when you're giving things up, you're gaining so much from it." -- John Legend 这首歌是想表达凡事都可以互相平衡：当我失去，我也在得到；我把头深浸在水里，但我依旧很好地在呼吸；我给你我的全部，你给我你的全部。当你在放弃所有东西，你也在得到所有东西，这是这首歌想表达的东西。如果你爱一个人、处在一段关系里，那就算你放下了所有事情，你也一样从中的得到了很多。 [ 歌词 ] What would I do without your smart mouth Drawing me in, and you kicking me out Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down What's going on in that beautiful mind I'm on your magical mystery ride And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright My head's under water But I'm breathing fine You're crazy and I'm out of my mind 'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginning Even when I lose I'm winning 'Cause I give you all, all of me And you give me all, all of you, oh How many times do I have to tell you Even when you're crying you're beautiful too The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood You're my downfall, you're my muse My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you My head's under water But I'm breathing fine You're crazy and I'm out of my mind 'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginning Even when I lose I'm winning 'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all, all of you, oh Give me all of you Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts Risking it all, though it's hard 'Cause all of me Loves all of you Love your curves and all your edges All your perfect imperfections Give your all to me I'll give my all to you You're my end and my beginning Even when I lose I'm winning 'Cause I give you all of me And you give me all of you I give you all, all of me And you give me all, all of you, oh [7] 译文 没有你的甜言蜜语，我该如何是好 你时而热情似火，时而冷若冰霜 让我神魂颠倒，又无力抓住 你那可爱的脑袋里到底在想些什么 你的世界神秘莫测，让我不禁追随 不知被什么击中，我的头脑一阵晕眩，怅然若失 仿佛坠入水中 却依然快乐 你是如此狂野，让我失去理智 因为我的全部 爱上你的一切 你的曲线与棱角 还有你完美的不完美 把你的全部都交给我吧 我会倾我所有 你是旅程的终点，亦是起点 即使输了一切，有你在身边已是满足 因为我把我的全部都交给你 你也让我得到整个世界 多少次忍不住告诉你 即使你哭泣，你依然是最美的 哪怕世界让你疲惫不堪，我永远不离不弃 你是奔流向我的瀑布，予我灵感的缪斯 你是悦耳的布鲁斯，拨乱我的心弦 旋律萦绕在心头，我无法停止歌唱，只因你的灵魂在呼唤 仿佛坠入水中 却依然快乐 你是如此狂野，让我失去理智 因为我的全部 爱上你的一切 你的曲线与棱角 还有你完美的不完美 把你的全部都交给我吧 我会倾我所有 你是我人生之旅的终点，亦是起点 即使输了一切，有你在身边已是满足 因为我把我的全部都交给你 你也给我你的全部 让我得到整个世界 摊牌吧，我们是如此心心相连 来吧，旅程艰险，但我们勇敢无畏 因为我的全部 爱上你的一切 你曼妙的身姿、玲珑的曲线 还有你完美的不完美 把你的全部都交给我吧 我会倾我所有 你是我人生之旅的终点，亦是起点 即使输了一切，有你在身边已是满足 因为我把我的全部都交给你 你也给我你的全部 我把我的全部都交给你，毫无保留 你让我得到整个世界

今天和大家分享一部改编自畅销小说的电影Wonder，中文名叫奇迹男孩。也是听友分享让我去看的，在此谢谢她，你们以后有什么想分享的也随时给我留言噢。 …… "When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind." --Mr Brown's September Precept “如果要从正确和善良中，作出选择，请选择善良。” Be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle. And if you really wanna see what people are… all you have to do… is look. By Auggie 善良一点，因为每个人都在与人生苦战。如果你想真正了解他人，你只需要用心…去看。 While nothing justifies striking another student…I know good friends are worth defending.

今天和你们分享一个挺有意思的观点，Maybe procrastinating is not always a bad thing. It may boost your creativity. 很多人都有的拖延症有时候并不一定是坏事，某种程度上，它能激发你的创造性。 …… [ 英文文本 ] Procrastinating is a vice when it comes to productivity, but it can be a virtue for creativity. What you see with a lot of great originals is that they are quick to start but they're slow to finish. 当谈及生产的时候，拖延是一种恶习，但对于创造力来说，拖延却是一种有点。你所看到的许多伟大的原创者，他们都是迅速地开始，却缓慢地结束。 背景音乐： Fotail--Heaven Sunshine

Jane：I want us to be together, for as long as we've got, and if that's not very long then, well, that's just how it is. 我要和你在一起，有多久就是多久，时间不长的话，也没事，两年也够。 There should be no boundaries to human endeavor. We are all different. However bad life may seem, there is always something you can do, and succeed at. While there's life, there is hope. 人类的潜力也不会有边界，我们都是与众不同的，无论生活多么艰辛，你总会有自己的方式发光。生命不息，希望不止。 背景音乐：The Theory of Everything--Johann Johannsson

最近看了一部很燃的电影，《至暗时刻》 Darkest Hour. The movie is about the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, who must decide whether to negotiatewith Hitler, or fight against the enemies during the World War II. 第二次世界大战前期，新任命的英德国横扫欧洲大陆的严峻形势下，法国即将投降，英国也岌岌可危，前首相张伯伦被弹劾下台后，首相的位置这个烫手山芋被丘吉尔接下了，当时他已经66岁。保守党企图和解避战，但丘吉尔坚持反抗到底…… [ 英语文本 ] We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender. 我们将战斗到底，我们将在法国作战，我们将在海上作战，我们将带着高涨的信心和力量在空中作战，我们将不惜一切代价保卫我们的家园，我们将在海滩上作战，我们将在着陆场作战，我们将在田间和街头作战，我们将在山野作战；我们决不投降。 Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts. 没有最终的成功，也没有致命的失败，最可贵的是继续前进的勇气。 背景音乐：Two steps from hell--Star Sky The Sound of Silence--Bandari

For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen…Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking. 几百万年来，人类都像动物一样生活着。然后某些事发生了，释放了我们的想象力。我想学会了交谈，学会了倾听…我们最伟大的希望能在未来实现，只要我们能自由支配科技，我们就有无限可能。我们所要做的，就是保持交谈。 Keep Talking 歌词： For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals 人类像动物一样活着已经过了数百万年 Then something happenend which unleashed the power of our imagination 现在该发生点什么了 是时候释放我们想象的力量了 We learned to talk 我们学会交谈 There's a silence surrounding me 可我周围一片沉默 I can't seem to think straight 我似乎缕不清思绪 I'll sit in the corner 枯坐在角落里 No one can bother me 没人打搅我 I think I should speak now.（Why won't you talk to me?） 我觉得现在我该说说话（你为什么不跟我聊天？） I can't seem to speak now.（You never talk to me.） 现在我似乎难以言说（你从不跟我聊天） My words won't come out right.（What are you thinking?） 我的话语不会脱口而出（你在想些什么？） I feel like I'm drowning.（What are you feeling?） 我恨不得溺水身亡（你有何感受呢？） I'm feeling weak now.（What are you thinking?） 我感到虚弱无力（你觉得如何呢？） But I can't show my weakness.（You never talk to me.） 但我无法袒露我的弱点（你从不跟我聊天） I sometimes wonder,（What are you feeling?） 我有时想知道（你有何感受呢？） Where do we go from here?（What are you feeling?） 我们将何去何从？（你有何感受呢？） It doesn't have to be like this 事情本不必如此 All we need to do is make sure we keep talking 我们需要做的一切是确保我们一直交谈 Why won't you talk to me?（I feel like I'm drowning.） 你为什么不跟我聊天？（我恨不得溺水身亡） You never talk to me.（You know I can't breathe now.） 你从不跟我聊天（你知道我现在无法呼吸啦） What are you thinking?（We're going nowhere.） 你在想些什么？（我们哪也去不了） What are you feeling?（We're going nowhere.） 你有何感受呢？（我们哪也去不了） Why won't you talk to me 你为什么不跟我聊天 You never talk to me 你从不跟我聊天 What are you thinking 你在想些什么 Where do we go from here 我们将何去何从 It doesn't have to be like this 事情本不必如此 All we need to do is make sure we keep talking 我们需要做的一切是确保我们一直交谈

据说今天是白色情人节 White Day，第一次听到这名字还以为是缅怀已故情人的呢，好吧其实这个节日的庆祝始于日本。White Day was first celebrated in 1978 in Japan, when the men givethe women gifts often consisting of white chocolate. 女生在2月14日情人节送男生礼物，而男生在3月14日回礼，通常包含白巧克力，或许这就是为什么它被称为White Day. …… [ 英语文本 ] When you are young, you may want several love experiences. But as time goes on, you will realize that if you really love someone, the whole life will not be enough. You need time to know, to forgive and to love. All this needs a very big mind. 年轻的时候会想要谈很多次恋爱，但是随着年龄的增长，终于领悟到爱一个人，就算用一辈子的时间，还是会嫌不够。慢慢地去了解、体谅、爱这个人，需要有非常宽大的胸襟。 背景音乐：情书--班得瑞

前天奥斯卡颁奖啦，《三个广告牌》里那个痞痞的警察Jason Dixon的扮演者Sam Rockwell获得了最佳配角奖，Best Actor in a Supporting Role. 最近也看了这部电影，不得不佩服Sam Rockwell的演技，也很喜欢他这个角色…… 英文文本： （临死之前，他给Jason留下的信里的后半部分写道：） I know you're gonna wince when I say this, but what you need to become a detective is love. Because through love comes calm, and through calm comes thought. And you need thought to detect stuff sometimes, Jason. It's kinda all you need. You don't even need a gun. And you definitely don't need hate. Hate never solved nothing, but calm did. And thought did. Try it. 我知道当我说出这个你会想躲开，但我还是想说，如果你想成为一名警探，你需要的，是爱。因为由爱可以生平静，由平静又能生思考。而只有当你有自己的想法，你才能去侦察一些事情。Jason，这差不多就是所有你需要有的。你甚至都不需要枪。你也绝对不需要仇恨。仇恨不能解决任何事情，但思想可以。试试吧。

长期计划该怎么更好地坚持呢？ “I learned that when I made small, sustainable changes, things I could keep doing, they were more likely to stick. There’s nothing wrong with big, crazy changes. They’re a ton of fun. But they are less likely to stick.” 当我做些小的，持续性的变化，我可以把它们更容易地坚持做下来。又大又疯狂的事情并没有什么不对，它们的乐趣无穷，但它们很难坚持下去。 …… 背景音乐：Meja--Always With Me
