SPEECH BY BRYAN DYSON (CEO OF COCA COLA)
拜倫迪森的演說(可口可樂總裁)
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're keeping all of these in the air.
想像一下，生命就好像是你在空中耍弄五顆球的遊戲。
五球分別標名為 － 工作、家庭、健康、朋友及心靈，而你必須將所有的球都保持在空中。
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends and spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
你會很快地發現到工作是個橡皮球，如果掉了，它會彈回來。但是其它四顆球－－家庭、健康、朋友及心靈－－卻是用玻璃製成的，如果掉了其中任何一顆球，它就會有磨擦、烙痕、戟印、損傷或甚至破碎。那將不再與原來的相同了。你們必須了解這個道理，並全力以赴地讓它們在生命中保持均衡。
How?
怎麼能做得到呢?
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
不要妄自貶抑你的價值，去和他人作無謂的比較。因為，我們每個人都是特立且無與倫比的。Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
不要以別人所認為重要的事來設定作為你的目標。只有你自己知道什麼才是對你最佳的選擇。
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as they would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
不要將你那些最親密的東西(親情、友情、愛情 …)視為發生得來是理所當然的。要將他們視同如生命般緊握著不放，因為缺少了他們，生命就不會有什麼意義了。
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
不要只活在過去或未來，而讓你的生命在指間流逝。只要每天都能夠活在當下，你就能夠活在整個生命的當下。Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
不要作任何放棄，尤當你還能作出一些奉獻付出之時。沒有一樣事情會真正的結束，只有當你停止任何嘗試時。Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together.
不要害怕承認你自己是不及完美的人。要瞭解這就是之所以把我們每個人牽綁在一起的纖弱繫繩。Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
不要害怕遭遇危機，這樣我們才能藉此機會，學會如何成為勇者。Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find time. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
不要封閉你生命中的愛，藉口說疏於找到時間。要獲得愛最快的方法就是付出；去失去愛最快的方法就是把它握得過緊；而保留愛最好的方法就是給它一雙翅膀、讓它翱翔。
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
不要這麼快地就耗盡你的生命，讓你不只是忘了曾經待過的地方，而也忘了正該前往的地方。
Don't forget, a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
不要忘了，一個人感情上最確切的需求，是要感到被人家欣賞與接受。Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
不要害怕去學習，知識是沒有重量負擔的，那是一項能讓你輕易劫取的寶藏。
Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
不要漫不經心地使用時間，或是文字話言，兩者皆是不能收回的。
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way.
生命不是一項競賽，卻是個旅程，應當要去嚐嚐在這路程上每一腳步的滋味。
