Catch the star that holds your destiny
Catch the star that holds your destiny, the one that forever twinkles within your heart. Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you. Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainable as long as you commit yourself to it.
Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams, remember that your destiny is hiding behind them. Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you've made. Have faith in your judgment. Catch the star that twinkles in your heart and it will lead you to your destiny's path. Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you.
Take pride in your accomplishments, as they are stepping stones to your dreams. Understand that you may make mistakes, but don't let them discourage you. Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique. The greatest gifts in life are not purchased, but acquired through hard work and determination. Find the star that twinkles in your heart? For you alone are capable of making your brightest dreams come true. Give your hopes everything you've got and you will catch the star that holds your destiny.

尽管通往梦想的道路上总有坎坷，你需要记住的是，你的命运就隐藏在那困难背后。学会接受这样的事实：不是每一个人都赞同你的选择。你要坚定自己的判断走下去。捕捉住那颗在你内心闪耀的星吧，它将引领你抵达自己的命运之路。沿那条路走下去，你就会发现那属于自己的美丽日出。
为自己的成绩自豪，因为它们是你通往梦想的阶梯。要知道你自己也会犯错误，但是可别因此而气馁。正确评价自己的能力，是它们令你与众不同。生活里最丰厚的礼物不是买来的，而是通过艰苦的努力和决心获得的。找到在你内心闪耀的那颗星吧，虽然你独自一人，但也有能力实现你最辉煌的梦想。对即得的怀抱希望并抓住那颗掌控你命运的星吧。

God's wife
New York city: It's a cold day in December. A little boy about 10-year-old was standing in front of a shoe store on Broadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold. A lady approached the boy and said:"My little fellow, why are you looking so earnestly in that window?"
"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes." The boy replied.
The lady took him by the hand and went into t
he store, and asked the clerk to get a half dozen pairs of socks for the boy. She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel. The clerk quickly brought them to her. She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel. By this time the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she then purchased him a pair of shoes, and tying up the remaining pairs of socks, gave them to the boy. She patted him on the head and said:"No doubt, my little fellow, you feel more comfortable mow?"
As she turned to go, the astonished lad caught her by the hand, and looking up in her face, with tears in his eyes, answered the question with these words:"Are you God's wife?"
原文翻译
上帝的妻子
纽约城，12月份寒冷的一天。一个10多岁的小男孩赤脚伫立在百老汇的一家鞋店前，透过橱窗朝里面凝望着，在寒冷中，他禁不住瑟瑟发抖。一位女士走近男孩说道：“我的小朋友，你那么认真地盯着橱窗，看什么呢？”
“我在请求上帝给我一双鞋子。”男孩回答。
女士牵着他的手走进了商店，让店员去取半打棉袜。然后她问能否打一盆水并拿一块毛巾。很快店员取来了。她把小家伙带到商店的后面，脱下手套，蹲下来给他洗了那双小脚，然后用毛巾擦干。这时，店员也取来了袜子，她把一双穿到了男孩的脚上，又为他买了一双鞋子，然后捆好剩余的袜子递给了男孩，女士拍着他的头说：“小朋友，现在一定感到舒服多了吧？”
当她转身刚想离开时，一脸惊讶的小家伙抓住她的手，仰起脸来盯着她，眼中噙满了泪水。他没有直接回答，而是问道：“你是上帝的妻子吗？”

The thief and his mother
A young man was caught stealing, and sentenced to death three days later.
He wanted to speak with his mother before the execution. Of course this was granted.
When his mother came to him, he said, "I want to tell you something." He said something but she could not hear. He whispered again, and when she came close to him, she put her ear to his mouth. He nearly bit off her ear. All the bystanders were horrified.
"It is to punish her," he said. "When I was young I began stealing little things, and brought them home to mother. "Instead of punishing me, she laughed and said, 'It will not be noticed.' It is because of her that I am here today."
原文翻译
小偷和他的母亲
一个小偷被抓住了，被判处死刑，三天后执行。
他想在行刑前与他的母亲话别，得到了允许。
当他妈妈来到他的面前，他说：“告诉你一件事。”他轻轻说了一遍，但是她听不到；等她走近些，小偷又轻声说了一遍。母亲将耳朵贴近时，儿子突然咬住母亲的耳朵，差点撕下来，周围的人都惊呆了。
“这是对她的惩罚，”小偷说，“我小时候小偷小摸，把偷的东西带回家时，她不但不惩罚我，反而笑着说‘别让人看见。’就是因为她我才落个今天这样的下场。”

泰戈尔经典诗选
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fallthere with a sign.
Troupe of little vagrants of the world, leave your footprints in my words.
The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.
It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.
It is the tears of the earth that keep here smiles in bloom.
The mighty desert is burning for the love of a bladeof grass who shakes her head and laughs and flies away.
If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.
The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Will you carry the burden of their lameness?
Her wishful face haunts my dreams like the rain at night.
Once we dreamt that we were strangers.
We wake up to find that we were dear to each other.
Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart like the evening among the silent trees.
原文参考翻译
夏天的飞鸟，飞到我的窗前唱歌，又飞去了。
秋天的黄叶，它们没有什么可唱，只叹息一声，飞落在那里。
世界上的一队小小的漂泊者呀，请留下你们的足印在我的文字里。
世界对着它的爱人，把它浩翰的面具揭下了。
它变小了，小如一首歌，小如一回永恒的接吻。
是大地的泪点，使她的微笑保持着青春不谢。
无垠的沙漠热烈追求一叶绿草的爱，她摇摇头笑着飞开了。
如果你因失去了太阳而流泪，那么你也将失去群星了。
跳舞着的流水呀，在你途中的泥沙，要求你的歌声，你的流动呢。
你肯挟瘸足的泥沙而俱下么？ 她的热切的脸，如夜雨似的，搅扰着我的梦魂。
有一次，我们梦见大家都是不相识的。
我们醒了，却知道我们原是相亲相爱的。
忧思在我的心里平静下去，正如暮色降临在寂静的山林中。

破茧的蝴蝶
A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.One d
ay,a small opening appeared,he stood and watched the cocoon for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole.But it seemed to stop making any progress,it appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could,and it could go no further.
So the man decided to help it.He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon.The butterfly then emerged easily.But the butterfly only can crawl around with a swollen body and shriveled wings,it was never able to fly,because it had a swollen body and small,shriveled wings.
What the man didn`t understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God`s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved freedom from the cocoon.
原文翻译
一个人拣到一个蝴蝶茧。一天，茧上出现了一个小孔，茧内的蝴蝶宝贝努力挣扎着自己的身体通过茧孔。然而，它折腾了几个小时也没有进展.茧里的蝴蝶宝贝似乎已经使尽了全部力气，再也钻不动了。
这个人决定帮助它，他用剪刀把茧的剩余部分剪开，蝴蝶宝贝很轻松地钻了出来。然而，可怜的蝴蝶却只能拖着大肚子、夹着小翅膀在地上爬来爬去，永远不能飞起来，因为，它的身子很臃肿，翅膀却很小、萎缩着。
这个人不知道：上帝的意思就是让那个大肚子蝴蝶宝贝从那个奇小无比的小口爬出来，那个小窄口在它通过时把它体内的营养液从腹部挤压到翅膀，这样蝴蝶就可以在破茧而出、获得自由的时候展翅高飞了。
