时值岁末，经过近一年的学习、工作和个人生活，每个人难免会遇到难题。最大的难题还是来自于对人际、对社会的困扰。和大家分享特蕾莎修女的箴言：
     人们经常是不讲道理的、没有逻辑的和以自我为中心的
     不管怎样，你要原谅他们
     People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered;
    Forgive them anyway.
     即使你是友善的，人们可能还是会说你自私和动机不良
    不管怎样，你还是要友善
     If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish,
    ulterior motives;
    Be kind anyway.
     当你功成名就，你会有一些虚假的朋友
     和一些真实的敌人
     不管怎样，你还是要取得成功
     If you are successful, you will win some false friends
     And some true enemies;
     Succeed anyway.
     即使你是诚实的和率直的，人们可能还是会欺骗你
     不管怎样，你还是要诚实和率直
     If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
     Be honest and frank anyway.
     你多年来营造的东西
     有人在一夜之间把它摧毁
     不管怎样，你还是要去营造
     What you spend years building,
     Someone could destroy overnight;
     Build anyway.
     如果你找到了平静和幸福，他们可能会嫉妒你
     不管怎样，你还是要快乐
     If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
     Be happy anyway.
     你今天做的善事，人们往往明天就会忘记
     不管怎样，你还是要做善事
     The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
     Be good anyway.
     即使把你最好的东西给了这个世界
     也许这些东西永远都不够
     不管怎样，把你最好的东西给这个世界
     Give the world the best you have,
     And it may never be enough;
     Give the world the best you have anyway.
     你看，说到底，它是你和上帝之间的事
     而决不是你和他人之间的事
     You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
     It is never between you and them anyway.
     每每反复阅读这些话，会有力量自心底而生，和亲爱的朋友们分享，愿你也获得启迪和安慰。
