For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers
through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.
若要优美的嘴唇,要说友善的话;
若要可爱的眼睛,要看到别人的好处;
若要苗条的身材,把你的食物分给饥饿的人;
美丽的秀发,在于每天有孩子的手指穿过它;
若要优雅的姿态,要记住行人不只你一个.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find them at the end of each of your arms.
As you grow older, you will discover that
you have two hands, one for helping yourself,
the other for helping others.
人之所以为人,是应该充满精力、能够自我悔改、
自我反省、自我成长,而不是抱怨他人.
如果你需要一只援助之手,
你可以在自己的任何一只手臂下找到;
随着年龄的增长,你会发现你有两只手,
一只用来帮助自己,另一只用来帮助别人。
