5 l& L1 G0 z1 o2 `* `2 [$ y' o' p Imagine Iife as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.You name them—work,family,health,friends and spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. , e" j! p4 m- o @. t, v! A/ ]5 U
you will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.Ifyou drop it,itwell bounce back. 5 ~' A. F- M9 H- u
But the other four balls—family,health,friends and spirit—are made of glass.If you drop one of these,they will be irrevocably scuffed,marked,nicked,damaged or even shattered. ( C' c$ Y3 ]- d
They will never be the same. I$ ]- h& p4 V! ]( ?8 Y

Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important.Only you know what is best for you.

Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find.
7 W& ^1 y' l3 N+ fThe quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to give it wings. . a& W% s) j# K/ P/ o' r% M$ l

' {1 o. ]4 T( a, _! }7 Y& i0 @$ Fbut also where you are going. : z; \& S$ n1 o) l% {/ S
Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.

想象生命是一种往空中抛五个球的游戏，你把这五个球分别取名为：工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵，而且你要努力不让它们落地。你很快会了解到工作是一个橡皮球。
[3 G2 N) ]4 L+ p3 T2 E如果你让它落地了，它还会反弹起来。但是，家庭、健康、朋友、和心灵这四个球是用玻璃做成的，如果你让它们掉到地上，它们将会不可避免地遭到磨损，留下印记、划痕，摔破甚至碎落一地。 5 w$ G5 z" d2 ^) o4 t
它们将永远不会跟以前一样。
