第1段
To a large degree, the manner of a piece of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. Trrespective of What happened yesterday last year,and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are--always. Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things--all at once. We allow past problems and feature concerns to dominate our present moments,so much so that we end up anxious frustrated, depressed and hopeless.
我們內心是否平和，在很大程度上是由我們是否能生活在現實中所決定的。不管昨天或去年發生了什麼，不管明天可能發生或不發生什麼，現實才是你時時刻刻所在之處。毫無疑問，我們很多人掌握了一種神經兮兮的藝術，既把生活中的大部分時間花在為種種事情擔心憂慮上--而且常常是同時憂慮許多事情。我們清貧過去的麻煩和未來的擔心，控制我們此時此刻的絕望，以致我們整日焦慮不安，萎靡不振，甚至沮喪絕望。

On the flip side, we also postphone on our gratification，our stated priorities ，and our happiness often convincing ourselves that 'someday' will be better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look towards the future will only repeat themselves so that "someday"they were actually arrives.
另一方面我們也推遲了我們的滿足感，我們所說的優先事項和我們的幸福經常說服自己，"有一天"會比今天更好，不幸的是那些告訴我們展望未來的精神動力只會重複出現，以至於"某一天"永遠不會真正到來.

John lennon once said ，'life is what's happening where we are busy making other plans when we are busy making other plants our children are busy growing up, The people we love are moving away and they are bodies are getting out of shape and our dreams are sleeping away.In short, we miss out on life.
約翰.列農曾經說過，「生活就是當我們忙於制定別的計劃時發生的事」當我們忙於制定種種別的計劃的時候，我們的孩子正在忙於長大，我們這樣的人離去甚至快去世了，我們的體型變樣了，而我們的夢想也悄然溜走了，一句話，我們錯過了生活。

Many people live as if life will a dress rehearsal for some later date. It isn't, in fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow .Now is the only time we have and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds, Fear is a concern over events that might happen in the future-- We won't have enough money. Our children will get into trouble. We will get old and die, whatever.
許多人的生活好像是某個未來的日子的彩排，並非如此，事實上沒人能保證他或她明天肯定還活著，現在是我們所擁有的唯一時間，現在也是我們能控制的唯一時間.當我們將注意力放在此時此刻，我們就將恐懼只引導後控，這就是我們擔憂某些事情會在未來發生，我們不會有足夠的錢，我們的孩子會惹上麻煩，我們會變老會死去，諸如此類.

To combat fear , be the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present .Mike twain sad ，I have been through some terrible things in my life. Some of which actually happened. I don't think I can see it and better practice keeping your attention on the here and now .Your efforts will pay great dividends.
若要克服恐懼心理，最佳策略便是學會將你的注意力拉回此時此刻，馬克.吐溫說過,"我經歷過生活中一些可怕的事情，有的的確發生過。」更具有內涵的話了，經常將注意力集中於此情此景，此時此刻你的努力終會有豐厚的報償。
