Tagore's Birds (from English Corner)
Stray birds of summer come to my window to sing and fly away.
And yellow leaves of autumn, which have no songs, flutter and fall there with a sign.

The world puts off its mask of vastness to its lover.
It becomes small as one song, as one kiss of the eternal.

The sands in your way beg for your song and your movement, dancing water. Are you willing to bear the burden of lameness?

When we wake up, we know that we love each other.

We woke up and found that we were dear to each other.

"This is an eternal question."
"What's your answer, sky?"
"It's eternal silence."

The language of eternal questions.
What's your answer, sky?
The language of eternal silence.

The mystery of creation is like the darkness of night-it is great. But the illusion of knowledge is like the fog in the morning.

How to go home
I left home when I was young and didn't come back until I was old.
My accent hasn't changed, and my hair is no longer black.
The children I met on the road didn't know me,
"Where are you from, Reverend?" They said with a smile.
Go back to your hometown and write to him.
Young people leave home, old people come back,
The local accent has not changed.
The children don't know each other,
Where did the laughter come from?
(3) The Result and the Rose Edgar Albert Bing
If you want a garden, small or big, until it is full of flowers, you must bend down and dig it. In this world, there are very few things that can be realized. No matter what kind of value we want, we must work hard to get it. It doesn't matter what goal you pursue. The secret is that you have to dig week after week to get results or roses.
Fruit and roses, Edgar. Albert. Translated by Gerst Chen Caixia.
If you want to have a beautiful garden, big or small, as long as the garden is full of flowers, you must sweat. It's really hard to get a wish to come true. As long as what you want is valuable, you should work hard to create it. It doesn't matter what the goal is. After all, there is only one secret: you can harvest fruitful fruits or roses week after week without being afraid of fatigue.
(4) The Value of Time Catherine Sun
To realize the value of one year, ask a student who failed the final exam. To realize the value of one month, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby. To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of one hour, ask a couple who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of one minute, ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane. To realize the value of one second, ask a person who survived an accident. To realize the value of one millisecond, ask a silver medalist in the Olympic Games. You may delay, but time will not. Cherish every moment you have.
The value of time, Catherine. Translation: Sang Chen Caixia
To realize the value of one year, ask a student who failed the final exam. To realize the value of one month, ask the mother who gave birth prematurely. To realize the value of one week, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of one hour, ask a couple who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of one minute, ask a person who has missed the train, bus or plane. To realize the value of one second, ask a survivor. To realize the value of one millisecond, ask a silver medalist in the Olympic Games. Time waits for no one, cherish every moment you have.
(5) Dream of langston hughes
Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is like a broken-winged bird that can never fly again. Hold fast to dreams, for when dreams die, life is like a barren land covered with snow and ice.
Dream Langston. Translated by Hughes and Chen Caixia.
Hold fast to dreams, for once dreams die, life is like a bird with broken wings, and it can no longer fly freely. Hold fast to dreams, because once dreams leave, life will become a barren land, only covered with ice and snow.
(6) Believe in Napoleon Hill
Faith is an "eternal panacea", which gives life, strength and action to the impulse of thought! Faith is the starting point of all wealth accumulation! Faith is the basis of all "miracles" and all mysteries that cannot be analyzed by scientific laws! Faith is the only antidote to failure! Faith is an element, a "chemical substance". When it is mixed with prayer, it will give a person direct communication with infinite wisdom. Faith is an element, which transforms the ordinary ideological vibration created by human limited mind into spiritual equivalent. Faith is the only medium for human beings to control and use the cosmic forces of infinite wisdom.
Trust Napoleon. Translated by Hill and Chen Caixia
Faith is an "eternal panacea", which gives life, strength and action to whimsy! Faith is the starting point of all wealth accumulation! Faith is the basis of all "miracles" and all mysteries that cannot be analyzed by scientific laws! Faith is the only antidote to failure! Faith is an important element and a "chemical substance". Once it is combined with prayer, it will enable you to communicate directly with God. Although human wisdom is limited, ordinary inspiration flashes, once guided by faith, will be transformed into spiritual shock. Faith is the only intermediary, through which God's cosmic power will become a resource for human development and utilization.
