My mother was the smartest person I’ve ever known， not because she had a fancy job or a high level of education， but because of her life experience.When I was a little kid， she used to share her thoughts， ideas and life lessons with me.I can honestly say I would not have been the person I am today without her1）wisdom.

妈妈在我所认识的人当中是最聪明的，不是因为她有一份好工作，也不是因为她的文化水平高，而是因为她有着丰富的人生经验。小时候，妈妈常常和我分享她的想法、理念和人生经验。说实话，如果没有她这盏明灯，我不可能成为现在的我。

我把母亲最好的忠告和人生感悟都记录了下来，想把它们保存下来并教给我的孩子们。这个计划完成后没几年，母亲就在睡梦中去世了。现在，我想把母亲说过的一些具有启发性的话分享给你们，希望你们也能像我一样从中受益。

无论你在哪里，无论你正经历着什么，请记住，光明就在那隧道的尽头。不要奢望，不要做无谓的假设，也不要过分要求。只需尽你最大的力量，掌握你所能，放下你所不能。

说出自己内心的真实想法，即使声音颤抖，即使你知道这些话不会被别人接受。你是美丽而又独一无二的，所以倘若你不表达出自己的意见，世界会因此失色不少。只管大方自信地向前走，不要期待任何人能够理解你所走的道路。

人们在人生旅途中会有很多起起伏伏，而这也在改变着他们；你也不例外。你对事物的看法改变了，你的喜恶改变了，你的政治观或许也改变了，这些都是再平常不过的事。如果有人责怪你变了，你只需回答：“我当然变了，因为这就是生活啊。我还是那个我，只是变得更强大更睿智罢了。”

把生命中发生的每件事都当成一个提升自己的机会。无论发生什么，都要怀抱希望。从一切事物中学习，不要害怕犯同样的错两次、三次或是更多。

每次只需专注于一件事。你没有必要完成所有事，你也不需要在生命里的每一秒钟都在干着点什么。你需要做的就是深呼吸、活在当下、并且尽你所能做到最好。这也是包括你在内的每一个人最希望的。

知道物品的价格和领悟物品的价值有很大的区别。最终，你会意识到，当你不需要任何特别的事物来取悦自己的时候，那便是你最好的时光。

不是周遭的环境让你不幸或不快，重要的是你自身的态度。对想要伤害你的人保持微笑，用行动告诉他们无论怎样也剥夺不了你的快乐。你的意志力比你想象中的要强大。

当你身边的人说“我还好”的时候，你要注视着他们的双眼，紧紧地拥抱他们，给予他们关心问候。如果有些人在需要你帮忙的时候才想起你，不要为此难过；当你需要他们帮忙而他们却不施予援手时，你才值得难过。

有些人对你不好，有些人想要自己做一些事情，有些人则需要你给他们一个深刻的教训。有时候说再见很难，但你知道这是必须的。这样对双方都有好处。

无论你有多爱他们，有些人就是让你很难实现自己的目标。几乎所有人都会在生命中遇到这一类人。随着你进一步了解自己、知道自己需要的是什么，你会发现，你认识多年的朋友的想法和你的大相径庭。你所要做的就是珍惜你和他

们的那些美好回忆，同时继续前进，努力争取自己的幸福。

生活不是为了讨好别人，而是为了能够超越自我。如果你知道自己将会因为没做一些事而后悔，那就去做吧。生活就是这么简单。

我们难免会经历失败，这只是生命的一部分。不要固执，也不要逆来顺受。最强大的人往往会屡战屡败、屡败屡战，并继续着他新的篇章。
