Story of Life生命的故事

◎ Mark Cuban

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be

there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help figure out who you are or who you

want to become.

You never know who these people may beyour roommate, neighbor, coworker, long lost

friend, lover, or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very

moment they will affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful, and unfair

at first, but in reflection you realize 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 luck.

Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the

limits of your soul.

Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly^{1 paved, straight,}

flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly^{2 pointless.}

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. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they

are probably the most poignant^{3 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.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally^{4, 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.

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.

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.

Tell yourself you are a great inpidual and believe in yourself, for if you dont believe in

yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.

You can make of your life anything you wish.

Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.

Most importantly, if you love someone tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may

have in store.

And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.

Thats the story of life.

有时，某些人一闯入你的生活，你便会了解他们本就想这么做，有的是为了某种目的，

为了给你一个教训，或帮你弄了解你是哪个或你想要成为何样的人。

你永远也不了解这类人会是哪个是你的舍友、邻居、同事、久违的朋友、爱人，或者

只不过一个完完全全的陌生人。当你与他们四目相对时，你便会了解他们将会以某种深远的方

式影响你的生活。

有时，发生在你身上的一些事情看起来那样可怕、痛苦或不公；但细想一下你就会意识

到，假如没克服这类难点，你永远也不会意识到我们的潜能、力量、毅力和勇气有多大。

什么事情的发生都是有缘由的，没一件事是因巧合或幸运而偶然发生的。

疾病、伤痛、爱、真的伟大时刻的消逝和十足的蠢行所有这所有的发生都是在考验

你的精神与灵魂的极限。

不管这考验是些什么，没了这类微小的考验，生活将会像一条平坦笔直的阳光大道，

或许它安稳而舒适，但却了然无趣，不会通往任何地方。

你遇见的那些影响你的生活的人，你所历程的成功或失败的经验，都会帮你塑造你自

己，看清自己。即便是不好的历程，你也能从中得到教训。事实上，这类教训是最严酷的，

但也会是非常重要的。

假如有人伤害了你，背叛了你，或叫你心碎，原谅他们吧，由于他们叫你知道了什么是

信赖，也叫你了解了对那些你打开心扉交往的人维持小心的重要程度。

假如有人爱你，那样无条件地去爱他们吧，不只由于他们爱你，也是由于在某种意义

上，他们教会了你怎么样去爱，怎么样打开心扉、放眼万物。

让每一天都过得有意义吧。

珍惜生命中的每一刻，尽你所能从中汲取，由于你可能永远没办法再有这种历程了。

跟那些你从没说过话的人互相交谈，并仔细聆听。

让自己坠入爱河吧，自由地冲破束缚，叫你的眼界愈加高远吧。

昂起你的头，由于你有充分的权利如此做。

相信自己，告诉自己你是个了不起的人，由于假如连你都不相信自己，其他人又怎能相信

你？

你可以随性地安排我们的生活。

去创造源于己的生活，然后走出去，去毫无遗憾地享受生活吧。

非常重要的是，假如你爱一人，就告诉他，由于你不了解明天会如何。

在你生命中的每一天学习新的课程。

这就是生命的故事。
