1. Yesterday...Today...AND Tomorrow 昨天，今天，还有明天

There are two days in every week that we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One is Yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and

blunders, its aches and pains.

Yesterday has passed, forever beyond our control.

All the money in the world cannot bring back Yesterday.

We cannot undo a single act we performed.

Nor can we erase a single word we said - Yesterday is gone!

The other day we shouldn't worry about is Tomorrow with its

impossible adversities, its burdens, its large promise and poor

performance. Tomorrow is beyond our immediate control.

Tomorrow's sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of

clouds - but it will rise. Until it does, we have no stake in Tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.

This leaves only one day - Today. Any man can fight the battles

of just one day; it is only when you or I add the burdens of those two awful eternities- Yesterday and Tomorrow- that we break down.

It is not the experience of Today that drives man mad -

It is remorse or bitterness for something which happened Yesterday, and the dread of what Tomorrow may bring.

Let us, therefore, live One Day at a Time!

每个礼拜有两天我们不用去担心，没有恐惧，没有忧愁。

其中一天是昨天，有过错误和忧虑、过失和失误、辛酸和痛苦。

昨天已经过去，不再受我们控制。

世界上所有的钱都不能把昨天带回来。我们不能为过去的事反悔，

我们不能擦去我们说过的每一个字，因为，昨天已经过去了。

另一天我们不用担心的是明天，明天可能有逆境、负担，

即有着很大的希望，又有糟糕的表现。明天同样不为我们所控制。

明天的太阳会升起，不管它是光芒四射还是笼罩着云彩，它一定会升起来。

直到它出现之前，我们对于明天没有任何把握，因为它还没有发生。

只剩下一天——今天。任何人都只能生活在“今天”；

当你我背负起永远存在的“昨天”和“明天”带来的压力，我们就会被压垮。

使一个人发疯的不是今天的遭遇，而是昨天的悲伤或痛苦和对明天的恐惧。

因此，让我们过好生活中的每一天。

2. Confidence

Every day is a new day in our life.

There is much to do today.

The early morning sun inspires us to start things freshly and put back our past.

Only a handful of us make use of this fresh bunch of energy.

In various wills of life this affects the way we behave and our confidence level.

Confidence is a key to survive in this world.

It is the only key tool to win the rat race in every walk of life.

Confidence in ones owns capabilities combined with sincere efforts help one to achieve unthinkable heights.

But many times we see that this basic element of confidence is missing in us.

As a result of lack of confidence we perform well below our caliber.

Be it in a public speech, proposing your beloved, visas for your college or in an interview or say even on the eve before your exams.

This can be due to fear of being rejected or any other reason.

If we look into our hearts and think, we will come to know that fear inside us I going to get us nowhere.

The confidence inside us is going to take us places.

This is because with confidence we can put our thoughts into words in a better and pleasing way.

So we have to get out of that shell where we think whether people will accept us as we are?

Instead of living in these unending moments of fear and thoughtless analysis, it is better if we project ourselves with the skills we have with the gloss of confidence.

With confidence we can portray the finer points of our personality in such a way that the places
