To succeed， you must accept challenges. There will always be barriers， cultural differences， and lack of understanding around us， but it is beneficial for us to stay together， be sensitive to each other needs， and to help each other. Maintaining cultural diversity and integrity is possible as a healthy community builds on teamwork， praise， pride and enthusiasm. Once， we are dedicated to improve critical skills such as knowledge sharing， collaboration， flexibility and risk taking， we will improve our future.
Together， we can make our world a better place in which to live by changing the way we and the rest of the population view it—positively. Let’s make this challenge a reality.
麵對生活中的尷尬和艱辛，我們應該輕易悲痛嗎？或者，我們是否應該直麵阻礙，接受它的挑戰呢？選擇不同的立場，可能使自己成為被壓抑的犧牲品。不論發生什麽事，我們都可以把它當成生活中某種不祥的征兆。很多時候，我們需要確定自己作出的選擇，是受智慧的指引還是恐懼的驅使。
如果把生活比喻成雜耍，或是一種體育競賽，我們就會認同那些設置的限製和阻礙，然後尋找方法，集中精力去跨越。我們需要不同的才能和力量以清除障礙；我們的信念、幽默和希望都可能受到考驗，但它們在我們全力克服各種困難的過程中，促進了我們的成長。
歧視和偏見都是挑戰。我們迫使自己付出比別人更多的努力，但是，工作的回報由自己享用。重要的是，我們要從事那些更有意義和價值的工作。
要獲得成功，你必須接受挑戰。通常，各種障礙如文化差異、缺乏了解等困擾著我們，但團結一致，相互幫助，敏銳察覺彼此的需要，有利於我們的成長。隻有處於一個建立在合作、榮耀、自豪和熱情之上的健康社會中時，我們才有可能保持文化的差異性和完整性。隻要我們致力於提高如知識共享、團結協作、隨機應變和敢於冒險等重要技能，我們的未來就會更加美好。
團結起來吧！通過改變我們和他人看待問題的方式，我們就能使這個世界更加美好，讓我們勇敢地迎接挑戰吧！
心靈小語

The Value of Time
佚名 / Anonymous
“Time，” says the proverb， “is money.” This means that every moment well spent may put some money into our pockets. If our time is usefully employed， it will either turn out some useful and important piece of work which will fetch its price in the market， or it will add to our experience and increase our capacities so as to enable us to earn money when the proper opportunity comes. Let those who think nothing of wasting time remember this.
Our life is nothing more than our time. To kill time is therefore a form of suicide. We are shocked when we think of death， and we spare no pains， no trouble and no expense to preserve life. But we are too often indifferent to the loss of an hour or of a day， forgetting that our life is the sum total of the days and of the hours we live. A day or an hour wasted is therefore so much life forfeited. Our life is a brief span measuring some seventy or eighty years in all. But nearly one third of this has to be spent in sleep； some years have to be spent over our meals； some in making journeys on land and voyages by sea； some in merrymaking； some in watching over the sick-beds of our nearest and dearest relatives. Now if all these years were to be deducted from the term over which our life extends， we shall find about twenty or thirty years at our disposal for active work. Whoever remembers this can never willingly waste a single moment of his life.
All time is precious， but the time of our childhood and of our youth is more precious than any other portion of our existence. For those are the periods when alone we can acquire knowledge and develop our capacities. If we allow these morning hours of life to slip away， we shall never be able to recoup the loss. Just as money laid out at interest doubles and trebles itself in time， so the precious hours of childhood any youth， if properly used， will yield us incalculable advantages.
諺語說：“時間就是金錢。”這句話的意思是，有效地利用每一分鍾，就可能讓我們增加財富。如果我們充分利用了時間，生產一些實用的東西，到市場上賣掉，會賺些錢，同時豐富我們的經驗，增長我們的才智，這就是說，賺錢的機會成熟了。讓那些對浪費時間毫不在意的人記住這一點吧。
時間就是生命，所以浪費時間就是變相自殺。一想到死亡，我們就會驚恐萬分，不遺餘力、不惜一切代價去保全生命。失去一個小時或一天的時間對於我們來說無關緊要，但我們忘記了，生命就是由這一天、一小時所構成的，因此生命就這樣逐漸流逝了。人生短暫，總共不過七八十年。但是，睡眠占據了三分之一，吃飯花去幾年，海陸空旅行用去幾年，再加上娛樂，照看病**的親友，如果扣除生命中的這些光陰，我們會發現，僅僅二三十年的時間能供我們積極工作。記住這一點，就不會有人甘願浪費生命的每一分鍾。
所有的時間都是寶貴的，而童年和青春時光比生命中的任何階段都珍貴，因為這是我們汲取知識、增長才智的特有階段。如果讓這些時光悄然流逝，我們將無法彌補這些損失。就像儲存金錢可以得到兩三倍的利息一樣，充分利用童年和青春的寶貴時光，會給我們帶來不可估量的利益。
心靈小語
機會無處不在，就看你是否有能力抓住它，利用它。你有什麽樣的能力決定你能抓住什麽樣的機會。在機會來臨之前，不妨提升自己的能力，以便將來抓住更多更好的機會。
