A Creed to Live By（生活信条）

Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us are special.

不要因为和他人比较而使自己的价值逐渐削弱。因为我们是不同的，所以我们每个人都是特别的。

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

不要把别人认为重要的事情作为你的目标。只做对你最好的。

Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless.

不要认为最贴近你内心的东西是理所当然的。紧紧抓住它们，就像紧紧抓住你的生命一样，因为缺少了它们人生将没有意义。

Don't let life slip through your fingers by living in the past or in the future. By living one day at a time you live all days of your life.

不要因为活在过去或未来而让生命从指缝间溜走。过好每一天，你就过好了生命中的每一天。

Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

当你还能给予的时候不要放弃。在你停止尝试前一刻，没有什么是真正的结束。

Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is the fragile thread that binds us to each other.

不要害怕承认你并不完美。正是这脆弱的细丝把我们紧紧地联系在一起。

Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

不要害怕遇到风险。只有冒险，我们才能学会勇敢。

Don't shut love out of your life by saying it is impossible. The fastest way to lose love is to hold to it tightly, and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

不要说爱是不可能的而把它拒之门外。失去爱的方法，最快莫过于将其牢牢地抓在手心；令爱长驻的方法，最好莫过于赋予它一双翅膀。

Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope, to be without hope is to be without purpose.

不要放弃你的梦想。没有梦想就没有希望，没有希望就没有目标。

Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.

不要匆忙地度过你的一生，这会让你忘了曾经到过哪里，也让你忘了你要去哪里。生活不是一场赛跑，而是一步一个脚印去品味的旅程。
