Five Balls of Life(1)

In a university commencement address several years ago, Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Ent erprises, spoke of the relation of work to one’s other commitments:

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. 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. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?

Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.

Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless.

Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

但是象征着家庭,健康,朋友和精神的四个球是由玻璃制成的。如果掉了其中一个,他们会无可挽回地磨损,有记号的,有痕迹,损坏甚至是粉碎性的。它们无法和以前一样。你必须懂得在生活中如何争取以及平衡它们。
Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
不要让生命在指缝中溜走,活在过去以及对未来的憧憬中。活在当下,你才充分地掌握了生命中的每一天。

但是另外的四个球代表的家庭、朋友、健康、心态是玻璃制成的。如果你破碎了一个,它将不可挽回的破坏,磨损、存在裂痕。他们不可能回到以前。你必须平衡它们在你的生活中

Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.

不要让你自己一个人活在过去或未来。要活在今时今日,你生活中的每一天。

但是另外四个因素,家庭,健康,朋友,精神是由镜片组成的,如果你失去这四个其中之一,它们将难免会磨损,刻划,破坏甚至粉碎。它们不是一样的,你必须懂得在生活中去理解和协调处理

生命在指间流逝,不要怀缅过去或者幻想未来,你应该把握现在,生活在现在

但是家庭,健康,朋友和精神这四个球是由玻璃制成的。如果摔落了其中一个,无可避免地他们会出现磨损,痕迹,伤口,损坏甚至彻底粉碎。它们无法和以前一样。你必须懂得这个道理并在在生活中努力寻找到一个平衡。

不要驻足过去或者幻想未来,而让生命在指尖溜走。你要活在当下,把握现在的每一天。

但其他四个球:家庭,健康,朋友和精神是由玻璃制成的。一旦你失手落下,它们可能会少了一角,留下无可挽回的磨损,记号,刻痕,损坏甚至摔得粉碎。他们将无法和以前一样。你必须明白这一点,在生活中努力保持平衡。
