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，春去秋来。日升日落，月圆月缺。狗叫猫来，花飞花谢。自然万物如情绪般循环往复，作为自然的一部分，我也不例外。如潮水一样，我的情绪也是时涨落。
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.
我每天醒来，情绪总是和昨天不同，这是大自然的天机之一，难以理解。
昨天的快乐可能成为今天的悲伤；今天的悲伤也可能成为明天的快乐。我的身体里面好像有一个转轮，悲伤，快乐，兴奋，绝望，幸福，忧郁之间不停转换。如花，绽放的喜悦会慢慢蜕变成凋谢的绝望，然而枯萎的花朵也同样孕育着即将绽放的种子，正如今天的悲伤正酝酿着明天的快乐。
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—
我该怎样掌控这些情绪，才能让每一天都过得很充实？一旦情绪不对，这一整天都会在失败中度过。植物的茂盛依靠气候变化，我可以创造属于自己的气候，没错，我能自控。那么我要怎样掌控自己的情绪，才能让每一天都很充实，愉快呢？我要学习这个古老的秘方：弱者，情绪操控行为；强者，行为操控情绪。每天醒来，当我被悲伤，自怜，失败的情绪包围，我都会这样与之对抗—
沮丧时，放声歌唱。
悲伤时，开怀大笑。
苦恼时，加倍劳作。
恐惧时，勇往直前。
低人一等时，换上新装。
犹豫不决时，加大说话音量。
囊中羞涩时，想象财富将至。
力不从心时，想想过去的成就。
身份卑微时，想想自己的伟大理想。
今后，我要认识到自我设限是无能之辈，而我绝非无能之辈。有时我必须不断地与那些想摧毁我的情绪对抗。失望与悲伤很容易察觉，有些情绪带着微笑，并伸出友谊之手靠近我，不易察觉，它们却也能将我毁于无形。我同样要与它们对抗，永不放弃控制权。
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.
变得自负时，想想过去的失落。
过度放纵时，想想过去的饥渴。
自满时，想想竞争的残酷。
居功自傲时，想想曾经的羞辱。
自己觉得无所不能时，试试去呼风唤雨。
得到巨大财富时，想想饿肚子的人。
不可一世的时候，想想自己怯弱的时候。
觉得技艺过人时，看看漫天的星星。
今后，要洞察人类情绪变化奥秘，包括自己的。从这一刻始，准备好控制各种情绪变化，一旦控制了自己的情绪，就掌控了自己的命运。
做自己的主人，我将优秀卓越。

外国人，很重视情绪管理，心里分析之类，也喜欢排比句，搞气氛。
起来，不要成为情绪的奴隶，要为自主而战斗。
翻身做主，有方法，
简单说，注意平衡，守住中道，参考阿贵的思考模式。
混的不好的时候，敢于穿很贵的衣服，走路要有架子；
混的好的时候，不要忘本，
狗富贵了，想想猫，不能忘本。
看来，人生的道理，说出来，都差不多。
