[傑夫的分享]EP2:幸福感—生命的故事(The Story of Life)
[傑夫的分享]這集來得突然，剛好睡不著的夜晚翻找到以前很喜歡的英語勵志箴言文章，所以想跟大家分享。
下面是文章中英文內容，供大家參考。希望你們喜歡。

The Story of Life 生命的故事
Sometimes people come into your life and you come to realize 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.
有時人們進入你的生活，你會意識到一切都是命中注定，他們可能為某種目的而服務，給予你指引與方向，或幫助你了解自己是什麼樣，或想成為什麼樣的人。
You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbor, co-worker, long-lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know in an instant that they will affect your life in some profound way.
你可能永遠都不知道這些人是以什麼樣貌出現（可能是你的室友，鄰居，同事， 失散多年的朋友，戀人，甚至是完全陌生的人），但是當你與他們有所交集時，你立刻就可以知道他們會以某種深遠的方式影響你的生活。
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart.
有時你所經歷事情一開始感受起來很恐懼、痛苦或覺得不公平，但經過反思，你會發現若沒有克服這些障礙，你將永遠不會意識到自己的潛力、力量、意志力或本心。
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, brilliant achievements, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul.
一切事情的發生都有所原因，而不是運氣而已。 疾病、受傷、愛情、輝煌的成就或一切愚蠢行為的後果，都是在考驗你靈魂的極限。
Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless.
無論以什麼方式呈現，沒有這些考驗，生活雖然看來是個像是比直而平坦的道路，既安全又舒適，但卻無法在你的人生路途上刻劃出意義。
The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become.
你生命中所遇到影響你生活的人，以及你所經歷的成功與失敗，都是在幫助你成為自己，或成為那個你想要的自己。
Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart.
即使是非常痛苦的經驗，你也可以從中學習。事實上，它們可能是最深刻和最重要的經驗。所以，如果有人傷害了你、背叛了你或傷了你的心，請原諒他們。因為這些經驗，實際上幫助你了解到信任與當你敞開心胸時保持謹慎的重要性。
If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, 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.
如果某人愛著你，你也要無條件地愛著他們，這不僅是因為他們愛你，而是因為在某種程度上，他們也在教你如何去愛以及如何向事物敞開心胸。
Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again.
認真地看待每一天。珍惜每個當下，並從每個當下努力學習，因為這些經驗你可能在未來再也無法體驗。
Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to.
可以試著與你從未交談過的人交談，認真地傾聽與學習。也讓自己去愛與被愛、跳脫世俗框架並設立你的願景。同時，抬頭挺胸，因為這是你與身俱來的權利。
Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.
告訴自己，你是一個很棒的人，並真切地相信自己，因為如果你不相信自己，別人也很難相信你。
You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.
你可以隨心自在地創造自己的生活，並以那樣的方式生活而無所遺憾與後悔。
Most importantly, if you LOVE someone tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.
最重要的是，如果你愛一個人，請即時告訴他(她)，因為我們永遠無法知道我們是否還有明天。
