21.You can’t take things too personally.  Rarely do people do things because of you.  They do things because of them.

21.做事不要以自我为中心。人们做事不是为了你，而是为了他们自己。

22.Feelings change, people change, and time keeps rolling.  You can hold on to past mistakes or you can create your own happiness.  A smile is a choice, not a miracle.  True happiness comes from within.  Don’t make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy.

22.情会变，人会变，时间不变。你是选择沉溺于过去的错误之中还是创造自己的幸福？微笑是选择，不是奇迹。真正的幸福是由内而外的。不要以为会有某个人某件事来给你幸福。

23.It’s much harder to change the length of your life than to change the depth of it.

23.改变生命的长度比改变生命的深度要难得多。

24.You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.

24.最终，你后悔“没做”的事情要远远多于你“做过”的事情。

25.When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.

25.当你不再追逐错误的事情，就等于给了正确的事情一个追上你的机会。

26.One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that’s trying to make you like everyone else.

26.人生一大难事就是做自己，因为这个世界总让你变得和别人一样。

27.Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things.

27.享受那些小事情。总有当你暮然回首，你会发现，正是那些小事才是真正的大事。

28.Anyone can make a difference.  Making one person smile can change the world.  Maybe not the whole world, but their world.

28.人人都能改变世界。让一个人微笑就能改变世界，即使改变的不是全世界，也是一个人的世界。

29.Everything is a life lesson.  Everyone you meet, everything you encounter, etc.  They’re all part of the learning experience we call ‘life.’  Never forget to acknowledge the lesson, especially when things don’t go your way.  If you don’t get a job that you wanted or a relationship doesn’t work, it only means something better is out there waiting.  And the lesson you just learned is the first step towards it.

29.一切都是生活的课程。每一个你遇到的人，每一件你遇到的事，这些生活经历共同组成了我们称之为“生命”的东西。不要忘记这些生活的课程，尤其在遭遇逆境的时候。如果你找不到心仪的工作，或者感情出现了问题，这只能说明前面还有更好的在等你。而你刚刚学会的就是迈出步。

30.Regardless of how filthy your past has been, your future is still spotless.  Don’t start your day with the broken pieces of yesterday.  Every day is a fresh start.  Each day is a new beginning.  Every morning we wake up is the first day of the rest of our life.

30.即使你的过去是一团乱麻，你的未来也是一尘不染的。不要带着昨日的碎片来开始新的。每都是新的开始。每天早上醒来，又是生活的天。
