人生沒有錯誤，隻有教訓
There Are No Mistakes， Only Lessons
佚名 / Anonymous
Human growth is a process of experimentation， trial and error， ultimately leading to wisdom. Each time you choose to trust yourself and take action， you can never quite be certain how the situation will turn out. Sometimes you are victorious， and sometimes you become disillusioned. The failed experiments， however， are no less valuable than the experiments that ultimately prove successful； in fact， you usually learn more from your perceived “failures” than you do from your perceived “successes”.
If you have made what you perceive to be a mistake， or failed to live up to your own expectations， you will most likely put up a barrier between your essence and the part of you that is the alleged wrong-doer. However， perceiving past actions as mistakes implies guilt and blame， and it is not possible to learn anything meaningful while you are engaged in blaming. Therefore， forgiveness is required when you are harshly judging yourself.
Forgiveness is the act of erasing an emotional debt. There are four kinds of forgiveness：
The first is beginner forgiveness for yourself.
The second kind of forgiveness is beginner forgiveness for another.
The third kind of forgiveness is advanced forgiveness of yourself. This is for serious transgressions， the ones you carry with deep shame. When you do something that violates your own values and ethics， you create a chasm between your standards and your actual behavior. In such a case， you need to work very hard at forgiving yourself for these deeds so that you call close this chasm and realign with the best part of yourself. This does not mean that you should rush to forgive yourself or not feel regret or remorse； but wallowing in these feelings for a protracted period of time is not healthy， and punishing yourself excessively will only creates a bigger gap between you and your ethics.
The last and perhaps most difficult one is the advanced forgiveness of another. At some time of our life， you may have been severely wronged or hurt by another person to such a degree that forgiveness seems impossible. However， harboring resentment and revenge fantasies only keeps you trapped in victimhood. Under such a circumstance， you should force yourself to see the bigger picture， by so doing， you will be able to shift the focus away from the anger and resentment. It is only through forgiveness that you can erase wrongdoing and clean the memory. When you can finally release the situation， you may come to see it as a necessary part of your growth.
人的成長是一個不斷嚐試、不斷經曆失誤、又不斷獲得新知的過程。每次，當你信心十足，準備采取行動時，對於會有什麽樣的結果發生，你無從知曉——或許成功，或許失敗。然而，失敗並不意味著毫無價值。事實上，我們往往能從失敗中學到更多的東西。
假如你犯了一個錯誤，或是未達到自己所期望的標準，你很可能會在真我與所謂的犯錯者之間構築一道壁壘。然而，對以往的行為全盤否定，勢必會讓你感到內疚、自責。深陷其中，你就不可能從中汲取有益的東西。因此，過分苛求自己時，最需要的就是自我寬恕。
寬恕就是放下情感上的包袱，撫平心靈上的創傷。它有四種類型：
第一種是對自己的初級寬恕。
第二種是對他人的初級寬恕。
第三種是對自己更深層次的寬恕。這種寬恕是針對自己深感羞愧的極大惡行而言。如果你所做的事有悖於自己的價值觀和道德觀，這時，你就在自己的為人準則和實際行動間製造了一道裂痕。在這種情況下，你就必須努力悔改，以此來彌補過錯，並要重新找到自我。當然，這並不是說你可以隨意原諒自己，毫無悔意，但一味地埋怨自己是不健康的，過分的自我懲罰隻會讓你偏離自己道德準則的軌道越來越遠。
第四種可能是最難的一種寬恕——是對他人更深層次的寬恕。生活中，你也許會受到極大的委屈和傷害。以此來看，這似乎是不可原諒的。但是，心懷怨恨、企圖報複隻會使你陷於受傷害的陰影中。在這種情況下，你就要強迫自己放寬胸懷。隻有這樣，才能把注意力轉移開，不至於一味地沉浸在惱怒和仇恨中。隻有做到寬恕，你才能忘卻過錯，淨化心靈。於是，當你最終使自己解脫出來時，很自然地，你就會把它看成是成長過程中必不可少的一部分。

你接受挑戰嗎
Do You Accept Challenges
佚名 / Anonymous
Should we easily wail about the embarrassment and the unfairness of life？ Or should we accept obstacles as challenges？ With a choice of stance we can allow ourselves to be oppressed victims. When anything happens to us， we can take it as a sign that we should not expect anything good out of our lives. These are times when we need to determine whether it is wisdom or fear that motivates us in our choices.
If we view our lives as a juggling act or a sort of sporting contest， we learn to go along with the limitations and obstacles that are dealt us. We then find ways to make it through the event in good shape and with energy. Different talents and strengths will be called upon to get through the obstacles. Our faith， humor and hope may be tested， but they are what keep us going as we try to overcome the various obstacles.
Discrimination and prejudice are challenges. We force ourselves to work twice as hard as others； however， the rewards from our work are ours to enjoy. The important thing is to be working at something we find meaningful and worthwhile.
