Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.

人生好似一個包裹，這個包裹里藏著快樂與悲傷、成功與失敗，希望與絕望。人生也是一個學習的過程。人生經歷教會我們新的東西，讓我們變得更出色。隨著時光一天天流逝，我們學會了處理各種各樣的問題。

Love

愛

Love plays a pivotal role on our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could go hayward and also become cruel and ferocious. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who shower us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.

愛在生活之中扮演了一個關鍵的角色。愛使你感到自己被需要。沒有愛，可能會誤入歧途，也可能變得兇暴、殘忍。在我們最初的人生道路上，父母給予了我們無條件的關愛，他們教會我們判斷正確與錯誤、分辨好與壞。然而我們常常把這認為是理所當然的，只有等到我們成家生子后，才會懂得并理解別人的感受。孩子讓我們變得富有責任心、成熟穩重，并且更好的理解人生。

Happiness and Sorrow

快樂與悲傷

Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.

物質上的快樂往往是短暫的，然而，當你為他人帶來笑容的時候，這種快樂讓你獲得滿足。心靈的平靜往往是快樂的源泉。沒有平和的心態就沒有快樂的心情。 在傷心的時候，我們往往能夠體會到快樂的真諦。悲傷基本都來自于一個愛人的去世、失敗還有絕望，但是這樣的事情都是暫時的，總會過去的。

Failure and Success

失敗與成功

Failure is the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on out shoulder. The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.

失敗是成功之母。它讓我們觸及藍天，它教會我們如何生存，它給予我們一條特殊的路。成功給予我們金錢、名譽、驕傲和自尊。這里，保持頭腦清醒便顯得尤為重要。上帝給予我們成功，我們表達感激的唯一方式便是始終卑微、謙虛、禮貌，并且尊重沒有我們幸運的人們。

Hope and Despair

希望與絕望

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.

希望是人生動力之源。父母總是希望自己的孩子能夠做得很好。希望使我們有夢想。希望使我們變得有耐心。人生教會我們即使是在最困難的時候都不要絕望，因為黑暗之后終將是黎明。沒有什么是一成不變的，我們惟有充滿希望地繼續生活。

Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

人生教會我們不要對過去的事感到后悔，因為過去的終究是過去了，我們無法控制。沒人知道明天會是怎樣，因為它可能是光明的同樣也可能是無趣的。所以，唯一的選擇便是在今天努力，這樣才能讓我們去享受更美好的明天。
