智慧的花束 -- 卓越

義人的路，好像黎明的光，越照越明，直到日午。

The hopeful man sees success where others see fail-ure, sunshine where others see shadows and storm. ~Marde

在別人看見失敗的地方，充滿希望的人看見了成功；在別人看見黑雲密佈的地方，他們卻看見了明媚的陽光。
One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks. ~Jack Penn

生活的一大祕訣，是將絆腳石打造成向上攀登的台階。
If you wish to succeed, you should use persistence as your good friend, experience as your reference, pru-dence as your brother and hope as your sentry. ~Thomas Edison

如果你希望成功，你必須以恆心為良友；以經驗為參謀；以謹慎為兄弟；以希望為哨兵。

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude. ~Charles R. Swindoll
若你想要在大事上有卓越表現，則須養成做好小事的習慣。卓越不應是個例外，而是行事該有的態度。

The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor. ~Vince Lombardi
一個人生活的品質，和他們委身於卓越的程度成正比。無論他們從事哪一種行業，結果都是如此。

If you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing less-than-excellent work.” ~Thomas J. Watson
如果你想達到卓越的表現，你今天就可以做到。就在此刻，放棄不出色的工作。

The secret of joy in work is contained in one word -excellence. To know how to do something well is to enjoy it. ~Pearl S. Buck
樂在工作的祕訣，一言以蔽之──傑出。知道如何把工作做好就會樂在其中。

The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will al-ways be at the top, never at the bottom.
你若聽從耶和華你神的誡命，就是我今日所吩咐你的，謹守遵行，不偏左右，也不隨從事奉別神，耶和華就必使你作首不作尾，但居上不居下。~申 28:13

But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
惟喜愛耶和華的律法，晝夜思想，這人便為有福。他要像一棵樹栽在溪水旁，按時候結果子，葉子也不枯乾。凡他所作的，盡都順利。 ~詩 1:2-3

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
義人要發旺如棕樹，生長如利巴嫩的香柏樹。他們栽於耶和華的殿中，發旺在我們神的院裡。他們年老的時候，仍要結果子，要滿了汁漿而常發青。 ~詩 92:12-14

The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.
義人的路，好像黎明的光，越照越明，直到日午。 ~箴 4:18

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
但那等候耶和華的，必從新得力，他們必如鷹展翅上騰，他 們奔跑卻不困倦，行走卻不疲乏。 ~賽 40:31

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
我是葡萄樹，你們是枝子，常在我裡面的，我也常在他裡面 ，這人就多結果子。因為離了我，你們就不能作甚麼。 ~約 15:5

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
我靠著那加給我力量的，凡事都能作。 ~腓 4:13
