Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful， and to believe that as I give to the world， so the world will give to me.
就为了今天，我将只为度过今天而努力，而不是立刻去解决终生问题。我可以花12个小时去做某件事，如果我觉得要持续一生去做的话，我一定会胆战心惊。
就为了今天，我要快乐。亚伯拉罕？林肯说得很对：“大多数人之所以快乐，是因为他们决定要这样。”
就为了今天，我要调整自己适应一切，而不是让每一件事都合乎我的心愿。当好运降临时，我会好好把握。
就为了今天，我会充实我的头脑。我要学习，学习一些实用的东西，不做精神的流浪者。
就为了今天，我会用3种方法磨炼我的灵魂。我要做一件对他人有利的事，但不能被发现。如果有人发现了，那就不算。我至少要做两件不想做的事——只是为了磨炼。我受伤的心绪不会向任何人坦露，也许的确是伤痛，但我不会表现出来。
就为了今天，我要做一个使人愉快的人。我要尽可能地看起来令人满意。我要打扮得体，言谈温和，举止亲切，不言是非，努力改善自身，而不是管制他人。
就为了今天，我要有一个计划。可能我不会严格遵循，但有了计划，就可以避免两种弊端：仓促行事和优柔寡断。
就为了今天，我要独处宁静的半个小时，放松身心。在这半个小时里，我会在某个时刻试着去更好地感悟人生。
就为了今天，我无所畏惧。特别是，我不再害怕享受美好。我要相信，我对世界付出多少，世界也会回报多少。

Serenity of Mind
佚名 / Anonymous
We enjoy inner peace and feel happy and satisfied when life flows smoothly and we have a good job， good relation-ships， good health， and our financial situation is good. When there is nothing to worry about， no tension and no hurry， we are at peace.
In day-to-day life it is not always like this. There is always something that causes worry， tension and lack of ease， and does not let us feel peaceful. In spite of this， we can enjoy peace regardless of our outer circumstances. Peace of mind is an inner state and is independent of outer conditions. Why wait for never for circumstances to be “right”？ Why rely on outside circumstances to bring us peace of mind？
A person may be rich or poor. One may be healthy or sick， free， or live in closed cell. Inner peace and calmness is within reach of everyone. One can be a slave， the other free man， yet both have the potential to enjoy peace of mind.
Peace of mind seems to be in this world but out of this world. It is experienced here and now， yet independent of outer circumstances. Inner calmness and serenity can be experienced even under the most trying circumstances. Of course some training is needed first.
Thoughts and Peace of Mind
Thoughts arise in us and we think them. We may choose to ignore them and experience real inner freedom， or we may choose to water them with the power of our attention and make them grow.
When you have to think， choose only positive， happy and uplifting thoughts. Think about and imagine only what you really and truly desire and that will come to pass. Always remember that life is shaped according to your thoughts.
When the mind is silent there is happiness inside and happiness outside.
It is a great asset and advantage to be able to silence the mind when its services are not needed.
The attainment of serenity of mind， which is actually freedom from the compulsion of incessant thinking， is open for everyone， provided the proper training is taken. Just reading this article you will not bring you peace of mind. When you understand the value of inner peace， and you have a true desire to succeed， nothing can stand in your way. Though this is an inner power， the way to its attainment is not different from other tangible goals. Work and persistence are necessary.
Most people are enslaved by their thoughts. It does not occur to man that he can become free from their grasp. From the moment we wake up in the morning to the moment we fall asleep at night， this chatter of the mind continues incessantly. The habit of thinking is very deeply ingrained in the human race. Yet， this habit can be undone.
To change or stop a habit we have to act consciously in the opposite direction. Whatever new skill we develop， we have to work at it until it turns into second nature， and becomes easy to perform. The same is with mind control.
True control of the mind is not just the ability to concentrate on one thought and disregard other thoughts. It is the ability to cleanse the mind completely and make it silent. A great Indian sage said： “Mind is only a bundle of thoughts， stop thinking and show me the mind.”
