It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesnt lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isnt a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled， but it is a calamity not to dream. It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars， but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure，but low aim is sin.
我们必须记住：生活中的悲剧并不是没有达到目标，而是没有目标。梦想未成真就死去并不是件不幸的事，真正的不幸是没有梦想。没有伸手去触摸星星，并不是耻辱，真正的耻辱是没有星星可以触摸。生活中没有失败，但胸无大志是种罪恶。
The most important thing in our minds is our destination. On a certain day at a certain hour we will pull into the station. Then wonderful dreams will come true. But sooner or later we realize there is no station， no place to arrive at once and for all. The station is only a dream that constantly outdistance us. So， stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead，climb more mountains， eat more ice cream， go barefoot more often，swim more rivers，watch more sunsets， laugh more. Live life as you go along.
目的地是我们心目中最重要的。想象着在某一天的某一刻我们到达了目的地。美梦成真。但是过不了多久我们就会发觉没有目的地，没有地方可以到达， 永远没有。所谓目的地，只是一个梦，它把我们远远地抛在后面。所以，停止 前进，别再追赶。多爬山，多吃些冰淇淋，多几次赤足远行，多游过几条河流，多看几次夕阳西下，尽情欢笑。永远像这样生活。

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesterdays are burried deep—leave it any way except a slow way， leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour—you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones vanquished ones， while the future lives in a cloud，within sight but beyond reach . The cloud clears as you enter it. I have learned this， but like everyone，I learned it late.
我已经认识到，如果你必须离开一个你曾经住过、爱过并曾埋葬过你过去所有记忆的地方，那么就快些离开吧，越快越好。不要回头看，不要总是沉浸在回忆中，因为一切都已过去。过去的日子像是很安全可靠，无所不能的日子， 而未来却是虚无缥缈，令人生畏，可望而不可及的。当你走近未来时，才发现一切原来很清晰可辨。我已经认识到了这一点，但像每个人一样，我认识得太晚了。
