以前，雞湯用來慰藉人的心靈，給人以真善美和向上的力量。現在，一提雞湯，大家避而遠之，唯恐避之不及。其實，愛讀文字的人是可以體會到，如果火候恰當，一個人用豐富的、真實的生活體驗寫出來的雞湯是有它的價值的。誰沒有遇到過灰暗的時刻，誰沒有從別人的人生經歷中拿出受益的版塊來設計自己的未來呢。讀劉同的《你的孤獨，雖敗猶榮》時，自己理出了50句話，并附上了英文作為練筆。在此分為上下兩部分分享給讀到它的人們。
1. 曾經我認為：孤獨就是自己與自己的對話。現在我認為：孤獨是自己都忘記了與自己對話。曾經我認為：孤獨是世界上只剩自己一個人。現在我認為：孤獨是自己居然就能成一個世界。
I used to believe loneliness was talking to myself. Now I believe loneliness is that I forget to talk to myself. I used to believe loneliness was that I was the only one left in the world. Now I believe loneliness is that I myself can be a world.
2. 有些孤獨感被我們掙脫，落入大地生根發芽。有些孤獨感被風帶走，千里傳播，尋求共鳴。
Some lonely feelings are shaken off, fall into the ground, take root and sprout. Some are carried away by the wind, spreading around to seek echoes.
3. 傷都是別人給的，但痛都是自己好的。
Hurt is inflicted by others; pain heals by itself.
4. 有些承諾如一根針，毫無重量，卻凜冽銳利，能直挺挺地插進每個人心里，傷口細微到毫無疼痛。
Some promises are like needles, weightless but sharp. They prick into your heart deep and straight, leaving the wounds so tiny that you can't even feel any pain.
5. 如果你認定苦是自己應得的，那么光必然會照耀到你身上。
If you believe all the sufferings are a must-take, you will eventually see the light shine up on your shoulders.
6. 我們嘲笑過少年的無知，也嘲笑過歲月的蒼老。我們行走在路上，理想宏大，眼窩卻淺顯。
We laughed at young ignorance. We laughed at the aging years. We walk on the road, our dreams being ambitious but our eyes full of tears.
7. 我們自覺越來越成熟，不過是越來越不在乎。盔甲再厚也無用，傷疤硬實才能防身。
We feel more and more mature but actually it is just apathy. The impenetrable armor can't protect--only a hard scar does.
8. 曾經一度，我討厭自己動不動就會流淚的矯情。現在的我，卻越來越能接受自己被打動的瞬間。因為不怕被人看到情感的脆弱，反而能比別人得到更多的感動。
I used to be annoyed by my tearful sentimentality, but now I'm more receptive to such moments. I dare to reveal my vulnerability. Hence I get more touching instants.
9. 有人拼命掙脫，終為無謂。有人放任飄灑，終成無畏。
Some people try hard to escape the yolks and get free. Some people drift around and become fearful of nothing.
10. 逃避，就一直是輸家。唯有面對，才是要贏的第一步。
To dodge challenges makes a loser. To take challenges makes a winner.
11. 有一種孤獨是與志同道合的人定下目標，沒皮沒臉地往前沖，等到離光明不遠的時候，你扭頭一看，卻發現志同道合的人已經不見了。
Loneliness can be: You set a goal with your ally, marching forward fearlessly, but when you are close to the light of hope, you turn around only to find your ally has disappeared.
12. 一條只有自己篤定相信的路，只有你一個行色匆匆的路人，不用在意他們的看法，因為你會在未來的路口等著曾經嘲笑你的人。
When you're the only traveler on the path that only you believe is right, you don't have to be bothered by how the others judge you because you will await those who once laughed at you at the next exit of the future.
13. 認輸，是為了節省生命的時間，也是為了讓我們把目光從不值得的地方轉移到值得停留的那些景象里。
To accept defeat is to save our time and to switch our attention from places unworthy of it to those worthy of it.
14. 一個人未來能去哪兒，不是靠想象，而是靠今天你都干了些什么，干得怎樣。
Where one can go in the future does not rely on imagination but on what he did today and how well he did it.
15. 人可以因為委屈，而作踐自己。但不能為了生存，而放棄原則。
One may hurt himself/herself to vent all the wrongs, but cannot sacrifice principles for survival.
16. 一些人對我們做了一些事，有人只當是日常生活中的無心之舉，有人卻能讀出一個輪回的歷史。
When some people do something to us, some people only see it as a natural instinct but some others can perceive the epic behind.
17. 一些溫暖，能讓你在自己身上發光發熱，傳給他人。一些傷害，也能讓你亮出胳膊，提醒自己何謂底線。
Some caring moments can warm you up and pass on to others, and some hurts can push you to show your arms and draw the line.
18. 有一種孤獨是極力掙脫隨波逐流的自己，嘗試做一些不合群的舉動，一開始總會被人誤解，經過這樣的孤獨，才有真正與別人不一樣的底氣。
Loneliness can be: You try to break away from blindly following most of the people in the world and try unconventional paths and nobody can understand you at the very beginning. However, after going through such loneliness, you'll get the real strengths that make you stand out.
19. 一個人的堅強不是看他外殼有多硬，而是看他的傷疤有多深。
To know how strong one is, you'd better not judge from how hard his protective shell is, but how deep his wound goes.
20. 只有當你明白自己的時間并不如想象得那么多的時候，你才會對出現在生命中的任何事物如此挑剔。原諒我只有一光年的寬度，只允許你在我生命中走一程的距離，能走多遠都可以，但不能重復地走來走去。
Only when you understand you do not have so much time as you thought, you would become very picky about everything in your life. Pardon me that my life is so short that I can only allow you to walk in it for some distance—you can go as far as possible, but you can't walk back and forth to just wander around.
21. 有一種孤獨是需要幫助的時候，發現除了自己沒有人可以依靠，因為能忍受這樣的孤獨，所以雖敗猶榮。
Loneliness can be: When you need a hand, you find that there is nobody but yourself to rely on. To bear such loneliness is in itself a glorious defeat.
22. 很多事情在我們身上遭遇失敗，不是因為我們做得太爛，而是因為我們決意放棄。很多事情在我們身上獲得成功，不是因為我們做得很好，而是因為我們比別人堅持得稍微久了那么一點。
Too many failures are not the result of lame abilities but that of the decision to give up. Too many successes are not attributed to brilliant jobs but only because we hold on a bit longer than others.
23. 只不過太多人，看到好處才付出，他們不知道，大部分事情都是付出了才會看到好處。
Too many people want to first see the benefit before working hard but they do not know, for most of things, we work hard to see the benefit.
24. 只有對自己的每一次行動負責，才會收獲一個美好的結果。
Only when you hold yourself accountable for every step you make do you reap a rich harvest.
25. 當一個人相信你的時候，你要做的不僅是對得起自己的內心，更要對得起對方對你的信任。
When one person trusts you, you can not let yourself down, nor can you betray their trust.
