8、Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life.That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by justwaiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growthand intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paintsyour future with the brush of today.
真正的美丽源于生命里的学习、成长和热爱。这就是生命的艺术。你可以只听天由命, 慢慢地学，有时候或许会很痛苦。又或许你可以选择加速自己的成长，故意地挥霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描绘自己未来的艺术家。
9、I believe that we are not real social workers. We may be doing social workin the eyes of the people, but we are really contemplatives[修行者、沉思冥想的人] in the heart of the world. Forwe are touching the body of Christ twenty-four hours…And I think that in our family we don\\\\\\\\\'tneed bombs and guns, to destroy, to bring peace, just get together, love oneanother, bring that peace, that joy, that strength of presence of each other inthe home. And we will be able to overcome all the evil that is in the world.
我想，我们算不上真正的社会工作者。在人们的眼中，或许我们是在做社会工作，但实际上，我们真的只是世界中心的修行者。因为，一天24小时，我们都在触摸基督的圣体。我想，在我们的大家庭时，我们不需要枪支和炮弹来破坏和平，或带来和平――我们只需要团结起来，彼此相爱，将和平、欢乐以及每一个家庭成员灵魂的活力都带回世界。这样，我们就能战胜世界上现存的一切邪恶。
10、If I\\\\\\\\\'ve learned anything, I\\\\\\\\\'ve learned a person - any person - can do just aboutanything they set their mind to do. The only thing you need is a willingness towork for what you want, patience to learn what you need to know, and just alittle bit of belief in yourself. The most important of these is belief inyourself, but you only need a seed. Your faith in yourself will grow with youas you move forward.
如果说我确实明白了一些事情，那就是一个人，任何一个人，所能做到的就是他专心一意去做的事。你唯一需要的只有为愿望而努力的意志、学习所需知识的耐心和一点点自信，其中最重要的就是自信。你只需播下一粒种子，自信就会随着你的进步而成长壮大。
