Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.

You name them-work, family, health, friends and spirit and you 8217;re keeping all of these in the air.
这五个球分别是工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵，你很努力地掷着这五个球，不让它们落地。
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball.

If you drop it, it will bounce back.
如果你不幸失手落下它，它还会弹回来的。
But the other four balls-family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass.

If you drop one of these,
一旦你失手落下，
they will be irrevocably scuffed,
它们将无法再像以前那样。
marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered.
它们可能会少了一角，留下无法挽回的记号、刻痕、损坏甚至碎落一地。
They will never be the same.
它们将无法再像以前那样。
You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.

It is because we are different that each of us is special.
因为我们都是独一无二的，因为我们每一个人都很特别。
Don 8217;t set your goals by what other people deem important.
别人认为重要的事不一定是你的目标。
Only you know what is best for you.

for without them, life is meaningless.
认真对待。因为没有他们，生命将失去意义。
Don 8217;t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future.
别让你的生命总是在依恋过去的种种或是在未来的寄望中逝去。
By living your life one day at a time,
如果你活在每个当下，
you live ALL the days of your life.
