Life Lessons
生活的教训

Sometimes people come into your life and know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be—a roommate, a neighbor, a professor, a friend, a lover, or even a complete stranger—but when you lock（使相连） eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some profound (意义深远的)way.

Sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection（反思，沉思）you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer（全然的，纯粹的）stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved（铺）straight flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls（衰败，垮台）you experience, help to create who you are and who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are sometimes the most important ones.

If some one loves you, give love back to them in whatever way you can, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.

If someone hurts you, betrays you, or break your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

Make every day count（有价值，重要）.Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and listen to what they have to say.

Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will hard for others to believe in you.

 
总有些人会不时的走进你的生活并且马上就知道他们注定是要来的，他们的到来是有目的性的，要么是给你一个教训，要么是帮你弄清楚你是谁或者是你想成为什么样的人。
你不会知道他们会是谁。可能会是室友，邻居，教授，朋友，恋人甚至是一个完全不相识的陌生人。但是，在看到他们的那一刻，你就知道他们会给你的生活带来深远的影响。
有时候，会发生一些很恐怖的，痛苦的或者是不公平的事情，但仔细一想你就会发现，若是没有克服这些障碍，你就永远不会意识到自己的潜力，实力和意志力。
每件事情的发生总是有缘由，没有什么是偶然的，或是好运霉运碰上的。疾病，痛苦，爱情，高尚的东西丢失的瞬间或者是很愚蠢的行为都是在检验你灵魂的极限。无论这些小测试是什么，没有他们，生活就像一条平铺直叙的道路，没有任何的目的地。或许这种生活会是很安全，很舒适的，但是也枯燥无味，毫无意义。

你所遇到的影响生活的人，所经历的成功或者是失败，都有助于你塑造自身。即使是不好的经历，也会从中学到东西。事实上，这些失败的经验是最宝贵的。
如果有人爱你，一定要尽自己所能去回报他的爱，不仅是因为他们爱你，还是因为他们教会了你如何去爱，如何敞开心扉，开阔眼界。

要是有人伤害了你，背叛了你或者是让你心碎，宽恕他们，因为他们让你了解了信任，了解了对于自己要敞开心扉的人谨慎的重要性。

让每一天都过得有价值。珍惜每一刻，带走每一样能带走的，因为你不会有第二次机会再去经历。去和以前从没有交谈过的人说说话，并且聆听他们所说的。

让自己坠入爱河，追求自由，把眼光放远一点。抬起自己的头做事，因为你完全可以这样。告诉自己是个伟大的人，要相信自己，因为如果不相信自己，也就很难让别人相信你。
