The tides advance; the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes. Summer wanes and the cold increases. The sun rises; the sun sets. The moon is full;the moon is black. The birds arrive! The birds depart. Flowers bloom; flowers fade. All nature is a circle of moods and i am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise; my moods will fall.
潮起潮落，春去秋來。日升日落，月圓月缺。狗叫貓來，花飛花謝。自然萬物如情緒般循環往復，作為自然的一部分，我也不例外。如潮水一樣，我的情緒也是時漲落。
It is one of nature’s tricks, little understood, that each day I awaken with moods that have changed from yesterday. Yesterday’s joy will become today’s sadness; yet today’s sadness will grow into tomorrow’s joy. Inside me is a wheel, constantly turning from sadness to joy, from exultation to depression, from happiness to melancholy. Like the flowers, today’s full bloom of joy will fade and withers into despondency, yet I will remember that as today’s dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow’s bloom so, too, does today’s sadness carry the seed of tomorrow’s joy.
我每天醒來，情緒總是和昨天不同，這是大自然的天機之一，難以理解。
昨天的快樂可能成為今天的悲傷；今天的悲傷也可能成為明天的快樂。我的身體里面好像有一個轉輪，悲傷，快樂，興奮，絕望，幸福，憂郁之間不停轉換。如花，綻放的喜悅會慢慢蛻變成凋謝的絕望，然而枯萎的花朵也同樣孕育著即將綻放的種子，正如今天的悲傷正醞釀著明天的快樂。
And how will I master these emotions so that each day will be productive? For unless my mood is right the day will be a failure. trees and plants depend on the weather to flourish but i make my own weather, yea I transport it with me.
And how will I master my emotions so that every day is a happy day, and a productive one? I will learn this secret of the ages: weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is he who forces his actions to control his thoughts. Each day, when i awaken, I will follow this plan of battle before I am captured by the forces of sadness, self-pity and failure—
if I? feel depressed I will sing.
If I feel sad I will laugh.
If I feel ill I will double my labor.
If I feel fear I will plunge ahead.
If I feel inferior I will wear new garments.
If I feel uncertain I will raise my voice.
If I? feel poverty I will think of wealth to come.
If I feel incompetent I will remember past success.
If I feel insignificant I? will remember my goals.
Henceforth, I will know that only those with inferior abilities can always be at their best, and i am not inferior. There will be days when i must constantly struggle against forces which would tear me down. Those such as? despair and sadness are simple to recognize but there are others which approach with a smile and the hand of friendship and they can also destroy me. Against them, too, I must? never relinquish control—
我該怎樣掌控這些情緒，才能讓每一天都過得很充實？一旦情緒不對，這一整天都會在失敗中度過。植物的茂盛依靠氣候變化，我可以創造屬于自己的氣候，沒錯，我能自控。那么我要怎樣掌控自己的情緒，才能讓每一天都很充實，愉快呢？我要學習這個古老的秘方：弱者，情緒操控行為；強者，行為操控情緒。每天醒來，當我被悲傷，自憐，失敗的情緒包圍，我都會這樣與之對抗—
沮喪時，放聲歌唱。
悲傷時，開懷大笑。
苦惱時，加倍勞作。
恐懼時，勇往直前。
低人一等時，換上新裝。
猶豫不決時，加大說話音量。
囊中羞澀時，想象財富將至。
力不從心時，想想過去的成就。
身份卑微時，想想自己的偉大理想。
今后，我要認識到自我設限是無能之輩，而我絕非無能之輩。有時我必須不斷地與那些想摧毀我的情緒對抗。失望與悲傷很容易察覺，有些情緒帶著微笑，并伸出友誼之手靠近我，不易察覺，它們卻也能將我毀于無形。我同樣要與它們對抗，永不放棄控制權。
If I become overconfident I will recall my failure.
If I overindulge I will think of past hungers.
If I feel complacent I will remember my competition.
If I enjoy moments of greatness I will remember moments of shame.
If I feel all-powerful I will try to stop the wind.
If I attain great wealth I? will one unfed mouth.
If I become overly proud I will remember a moment of weakness.
If I feel my skill is unmatched I will look at the stars.
Henceforth I will recognize and identify the mystery of moods in all mankind, and in me. From this moment I am prepared to control whatever personality awakes in me each day. I will master my moods through positive action and when I master my moods I? will control my destiny. I will become a master? of myself. I will become great.
變得自負時，想想過去的失落。
過度放縱時，想想過去的饑渴。
自滿時，想想競爭的殘酷。
居功自傲時，想想曾經的羞辱。
自己覺得無所不能時，試試去呼風喚雨。
得到巨大財富時，想想餓肚子的人。
不可一世的時候，想想自己怯弱的時候。
覺得技藝過人時，看看漫天的星星。
今后，要洞察人類情緒變化奧秘，包括自己的。從這一刻始，準備好控制各種情緒變化，一旦控制了自己的情緒，就掌控了自己的命運。
做自己的主人，我將優秀卓越。

外國人，很重視情緒管理，心里分析之類，也喜歡排比句，搞氣氛。
起來，不要成為情緒的奴隸，要為自主而戰斗。
翻身做主，有方法，
簡單說，注意平衡，守住中道，參考阿貴的思考模式。
混的不好的時候，敢于穿很貴的衣服，走路要有架子；
混的好的時候，不要忘本，
狗富貴了，想想貓，不能忘本。
看來，人生的道理，說出來，都差不多。
