【一月】我的命運我創造
.
有個人天生口齒不清，左臉頰部分肌肉癱瘓，14次被雇主開除，夢想是當好萊塢一號男名星；還有個人貧困如洗，兩次經商均告失敗、負債累累，曾精神崩潰、長期臥床，參加競選、先後八次失敗，夢想是當美國總統。他們的夢想在旁人看來太遙不可及、甚至是做白日夢，然而，第一個人是史泰龍、第二位是林肯。
.
上天把你送到世間，絕不是來看你遭罪的，也不是來聽你抱怨命運的，而是要讓你創造出屬於自己獨一無二的人生。人生本來沒有意義，要靠自己去定義、去譜寫。設定你偉大的人生目標，不管能不能達到，永不言棄、就是成功，繼續努力、就是成功，因為成功是在失敗的土壤中萌芽的。
.
害怕的時候、想退縮的時候，對自己喊話：「天上地上，唯我獨尊。」推自己一把，人生沒有解決不了的問題。人生短短百年，為夢想而生的你想用什麼姿態去走人生的道路？
.
今天是2019年的第一天，新一年的願望想好了嗎？如果想好了，就把它抓在手裡、放在心裡、用生命去守護、去完成吧！我在這裡為你祝福。加油！

【January】 I create my own destiny
Someone was born with some physical disabilities. He stuttered and suffered from a paralysis of the left side of his facial muscles. When he was 14 years old, he was fired and his dream was to become a Superstar in Hollywood; another was living a life of poverty. His two business expeditions failed and he became burdened with debts. As a result, he suffered a mental breakdown and was even bed-ridden for a period of time. He ran for US President as his dream was to become one. The first person was Sylvester Stallone and the second, Abraham Lincoln.
We are not sent to this world to suffer. Neither are we here to complain about life destiny. In fact, we are sent by Heaven to create a unique life destiny for ourselves. We are born with a meaningless life. It is up to us to define and find our own goals and meaning in life. Regardless of whether they are attainable, never give up. This simple act of not giving up is by itself an accomplishment and paves the path to future success because every successful person went through multiple failures in life before they eventually succeed.
Whenever you are feeling lost and frightened and are contemplating to give up, say to yourself: “In Heaven and on Earth, I am Supreme!” This encourages and reminds you that there is nothing in life that cannot be resolved. Given our short life span of a hundred years, how do you want to go through life to achieve your dreams?
Today is the first day of 2019. Have you thought about your New Year resolutions? If yes, hold them in your hands, place them in your heart and use your life to fulfill them! I will be here to cheer for you!
