Family and Business
I will concentrate my energy on the challenge of the moment and my actions will help me forget all else. The problems of my home will be left in my home. I will think naught of my family when I am in the market place for this will cloud my thoughts. So too will the problems of the market place be left in the market place and I will think naught of my profession when I am in my home for this will dampen my love.
There is no room in the market place for my family, nor is there room in my home for the market. Each I will divorce from the other and thus will I remain wedded to both. Separate must they remain or my career will die. This is a paradox of the ages.
No beast, no plant, no wind, no rain, no rock, no lake had the same beginning as I, for I was conceived in love and brought forth with a purpose. In the past I have not considered this fact but it will henceforth shape and guide my life.
And nature knows not defeat. Eventually, she emerges victorious and so will I, and with each victory the next struggle becomes less difficult.
我要专心致志对抗眼前的挑战，我的行动会使我忘却其它一切，不让家事缠身。身在商场，不可恋家，否则那会使我思想混饨。另一方面，当我与家人同处时，一定得把工作留在门外，否则会使家人感到冷落。
商场上没有一块属于家人的地方，同样，家中也没有谈论商务的地方，这两者必须截然分开，否则就会顾此失彼，这是很多人难以走出的误区．
飞禽走兽、花草树木、风雨山石、河流湖泊，都没有像我一样的起源，我孕育在爱中，肩负使命而生。过去我忽略了这个事实，从今往后，它将塑造我的性格，引导我的人生。
自然界不知何谓失败，终以胜利者的姿态出现，我也要如此，因为成功一旦降临，就会再度光顾。
