Shortest Speech Of Coca Cola's Former CEO Will Make You Do Some Serious Thinking
最近爱上了听各路大佬的演讲，感叹演讲中都是大智慧的同时，也把一些我自己从中深受启发的演讲稿整理了出来，想要一篇篇地分享给你们。今天想跟你们聊聊的这篇，是可口可乐前CEO Brian G. Dyson于1996年9月在乔治亚理工大学的开学典礼上的演讲。全文如下：
“Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them – Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you’re keeping all of these in the air. 
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls – Family, Health, Friends and Spirit– are made of glass. If you drop one of these; they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it. 
Work efficiently during office hours and leave on time. Give the required time to your family, friends and have proper rest. Value has a value only if its value is valued.
How?  Don’t undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don’t set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you. Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless. Don’t let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. 
Don’t be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each together. Don’t be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be pave. Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible to find time. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings! Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going. Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily. Don’t use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way…” 
“想象人生是一个变戏法的游戏，你需要将手中的五个球轮流抛出，并保证他们都不能落地，这五个球分别代表的是——工作，家庭，健康，朋友，和精神。
很快，你就会发现工作是一个橡胶球，你不小心让它落了地，它仍然会弹回来。但其余的四个球，它们是玻璃做的，如果你让玻璃球落地，那么它们就会不同程度地损伤——不管怎么说，失手丢掉一次之后，就永远不会和最初一样了。
所以，工作的时候提高效率，下班之后尽早回家，给你的家人、朋友、健康和你的精气神留有足够的时间吧。
可是如何做到这一点呢？
不要低估了自己，尤其是当你和别人比较的时候。我们每个人都是不同的个体，这注定了我们每个人都是特别的。不要根据别人的想法来给自己制定目标，只有你自己才知道什么是对你最好的。尊崇你内心的想法，牢牢抓住你的内心所想，并且活在当下，不要让生活在回忆或展望未来中蹉跎。不要再还有希望的时候轻易放弃，坚持奋斗到最后一刻。
当然了，也不要害怕去承认自己的不完美。不要害怕去承担风险，它能使我们成长。不要因为‘没时间’这样的借口就拒绝爱，最快的获得爱的办法是首先去爱别人，而最快的失去爱的办法就是抓得太紧，而最好的保持爱的办法呢？就是保持爱的自由。不要因为太急切地去追求目标而忘记了过程中的风景，不要忘了，一个人最好的情绪，是感恩。不要觉得有些知识是不重要的——只要是你学到的，总有用到的那一天。不要不经过思考就说话或虚度光阴——浪费掉的时间和说出口的话一样，都收不回来了。
人生啊，说到底是一场旅程，你应该好好享受，而不是把它当做是一场比赛。”
