An Identity of One’s Own
In the eternal universe, every human being has a one-off chance to live-his existence is unique and irretrievable
Fame, wealth and knowledge are merely worldly possessions that are within the reach of anybody striving for them, But your experience of and feelings about life are your own and not to be shared. No one can live your life over again after your death. A full awareness of this will point out to you that the most important thing in your existence is your distinctive individuality or something special of yours. What really counts is not your worldly success but your peculiar insight into the meaning of life and your commitment to it, which add luster to your personality.

参考译文 活出个性
在茫茫宇宙间，每个人都只有一次生存的机会，都是一个独一无二、不可重复的存在。
名声、财产、知识等等是身外之物，人人都可求而得之，但没有人能够代替你感受人生。你死之后，没有人能够代替你再活一次。如果你真正意识到了这一点，你就会明白，活在世上，最重要的事就是活出你自己的特色和滋味来。你的人生是否有意义，衡量的标准不是外在的成功，而是你对人生意义的独特领悟和坚守，从而使你的自我闪放出个性的光华。
Youth
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees. It is a matter of the will, quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self distrust blows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the unfailing child like appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station, so long as it receives message of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

参考译文 青春
青春不是人生的一段时间，而是一种心态；青春不在于满面红光 ，嘴唇红润，腿脚麻利，而在于意志刚强，想象的丰富，情感的饱满；青春是生命之泉的明澈清新。
� 青春意味着在气质上勇敢战胜怯懦，进取精神战胜安逸享受。这种气质在60岁的老人中比在20岁的青年中更常见。仅仅一把年纪决不会导致衰老。我们之所以老态龙钟，是因为我们放弃了对理想的追求。
� 岁月的流逝会在皮肤上留下皱纹，而热情的丧失却会给灵魂刻下皱纹。焦虑、恐惧和缺乏自信会使心情沮丧，意志泯灭。
� 无论是60岁，还是16岁，每一个人的心田都有着寻根问底、追求人生乐趣的不泯童心。在你我的心田中有座无线电台，只要它能接受来自人类和上帝的美感、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量，你就永葆青春。
� 如果你收起天线，给自己的心灵蒙上一层玩世不恭的霜雪和悲观厌世的冰凌，既使你年方二十 ，你已垂垂老矣；但只要你竖起天线去收集乐观进取的电波，那就有希望在你八十高龄辞世之时仍然青春焕发。

世界上最远的距离
The furthest distance in the world
Is not between life and death
But when I stand in front of you
Yet you don\'t know that
I love you
The furthest distance in the world
Is not when i stand in font of you
Yet you can\'t see my love
But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both
Yet cannot
Be togehter
The furthest distance in the world
Is not being apart while being in love
But when plainly can not resist the yearning
Yet pretending
You have never been in my heart
The furthest distance in the world
Is not
But using one\'s indifferent heart
To dig an uncrossable river
For the one who loves you
世界上最远的距离
不是我站在你面前你不知道我爱你
而是爱到痴迷却不能说我爱你
世界上最远的距离
不是我不能说我爱你
而是想你痛彻心脾却只能深埋心底
世界上最远的距离
不是我不能说我想你
而是彼此相爱却不能够在一起
世界上最远的距离
不是彼此相爱 却不能够在一起
而是明知道真爱无敌却装作毫不在意
世界上最远的距离
不是树与树的距离
而是同根生长的树枝却无法在风中相依
世界上最远的距离
不是树枝无法相依
而是相互了望的星星却没有交汇的轨迹
世界上最远的距离
不是星星之间的轨迹
而是纵然轨迹交汇却在转瞬间无处寻觅
世界上最远的距离
不是瞬间便无处寻觅
而是尚未相遇便注定无法相聚
世界上最远的距离
是鱼与飞鸟的距离
一个在天，一个却深潜海底
