I will greet this day with love in my heart.

我要用全身心的爱来迎接今天。

For this is the greatest secret of success in all ventures. Muscle can split a shield and even destroy life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place. I will make love my greatest weapon and none on whom I call can defend against its force.

因为,这是一切成功的最大秘密。强力能够劈开一块盾牌,甚至毁灭生命,但是只有爱才具有无与伦比的力量,使人们敞开心扉。在掌握了爱的艺术之前,我只算商场上的无名小卒。我要让爱成为我最大的武器,没有人能抵挡它的威力。

My reasoning they may counter; my speech they may distrust; my apparel they may disapprove; my face they may reject; and even my bargains may cause them suspicion; yet my love will melt all hearts liken to the sun whose rays soften the coldest clay.

我的理论,他们也许反对;我的言谈,他们也许怀疑;我的穿着,他们也许不赞成;我的长相,他们也许不喜欢;甚至我廉价出售的商品都可能使他们将信将疑,然而我的爱心一定能温暖他们,就像太阳的光芒能溶化冰冷的冻土。

And how will I do this? Henceforth will I look on all things with love and I will be born again. I will love the sun for it warms my bones; yet I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit. I will love the light for it shows me the way; yet I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars. I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart; yet I will endure sadness for it opens my soul. I will acknowledge rewards for they are my due; yet I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenge.

我该怎样做呢?从今往后,我对一切都要满收爱心,这样才能获得新生。我爱太阳,它温暖我的身体;我爱雨水。它洗净我的灵魂;我爱光明,它为我指引道路;我也爱黑夜,它让我看到星辰、我迎接快乐,它使我心胸开阔;我忍受悲伤,它升华我的灵魂;我接受报酬。因为我为此付出汗水;我不怕困难,因为它们给我挑战。

And how will I speak? I will laud mine enemies and they will become friends; I will encourage my friends and they will become brothers. Always will I dig for reasons to applaud; never will I scratch for excuses to gossip. When I am tempted to criticize I will bite on my tongue; when I am moved to praise I will shout from the roofs.

我该怎样说呢?我赞美敌人。敌人于是成为朋友;我鼓励朋友,朋友于是成为手足。我要常想理由赞美别人,绝不搬弄是非,道人长短。想要批评人时,咬住舌头,想要赞美人时,高声表达。

Is it not so that birds, the wind, the sea and all nature speaks with the music of praise for their creator? Cannot I speak with the same music to his children? Henceforth will I remember this secret and it will change my life.

飞鸟,清风,海浪,自然界的万物不都在用美妙动听的歌声赞美造物主吗?我也要用同样的歌声赞美她的儿女。从今往后,我要记住这个秘密。它将改变我的生活。

And how will I act? I will love all manner of men for each has qualities to be admired even though they be hidden. With love I will tear down the wall of suspicion and hate which they have built round their hearts and in its place will I build bridges so that my love may enter their souls.

我该如何行动呢?我要把爱奉献给所有的人,因为每个人都有令人钦佩的优秀品质,虽然有时不易察觉。我要用爱击垮阻碍人们心灵自由沟通的怀疑与仇恨之墙,同时,我要用我的爱在人们之间搭建一座桥梁,使我的爱能自如地进驻他们的灵魂。

I will love the ambitious for they can inspire me! I will love the failures for they can teach me. I will love the kings for they are but human; I will love the meek for they are divine. I will love the rich for they are yet lonely.

我爱雄心勃勃的人,因为他们能激励我!我爱失败者,因为他们能教育我。我爱王侯,他们也是凡人。我爱弱者,他们也是天才。我爱富人,他们更寂寞。

I will love the poor for they are so many. I will love the young for the faith they hold; I will love the old for the wisdom they share. I will love the beautiful for their eyes of sadness; I will love the ugly for their souls of peace.

我爱贫者,因为贫者甚多。我爱少年,因为他们纯真。我爱长者,因为他们睿智。我爱貌美的人,因为他们有忧郁的眼神。我爱丑陋的人,因为他们有颗平静的心。

But how will I react to the actions of others? With love. For just as love is my weapon to open the hearts of men, love is also my shield to repulse the arrows of hate and the spears of anger. Adversity and discouragement will beat against my new shield and become as the softest of rains.

我该他们的行为做出怎样的反应呢?爱吧。因为爱不仅是开启人们心灵的钥匙,而且也是低档仇恨之箭与愤怒之矛的盾牌。有了爱,即使逆境与挫折如锋利的长矛攻击我的心盾,也都会变得如细雨般温柔。

And how will I confront each whom I meet? In only one way. In silence and myself I will address him and say “I love you”. Though spoken in silence these words will shine in my eyes, unwrinkled my brow, bring a smile to my lips, and echo in my voice; and his heart will be opened.

我该如何面对与我不期而遇的每个人呢?只有一种办法,就是默默地祝福他,并说“我爱你”。那闪现在我的眼神中的无言的爱,会舒展我紧缩的眉头,让我会心的微笑攀至嘴角,在我的声音中回荡;于是,他将向我敞开心扉。
