今天我们要谈的是：哪些话醍醐灌顶，永久改变了你对生活、对事物的看法？We both have some quotes (名言) that really impacted (影响) our lives and perspectives (观点).
01. “You might be the sweetest peach on the tree, but some people just don't like peaches.”
“你可能是树上最甜的桃子，但是有些人就是不喜欢桃子。”It is a very sweet quote that is also very deep. It reminds Flora of a story:

有一个人很喜欢吃橘子，但是他的父亲不喜欢。No matter how much he tried to tell his father about the benefits of oranges: rich in vitamin C (富含维生素C), or to buy the best variety of oranges (买最好品种的橘子), he just didn't like them. 最后他父亲说了一句话：“再好的橘子我也不喜欢吃，我根本就不喜欢橘子的味道。”

It doesn’t matter if it is the best orange. He wasn’t going to like it. 被每个人喜欢当然是大家都希望发生的。But it's impossible. You may be the sweetest peach or orange, but some people just don't like it, and it's not your fault.
It is impossible to make everyone happy all the time. Some people, you will just never win over to your side(你永远也无法把他们争取到你这边来)!
The quote actually helped Flora get over (克服) her desire to be liked by everyone. She realized she can’t please everyone, and that’s perfectly okay. Instead, she started focusing on becoming someone she herself actually likes. 不要成为别人眼中的你，要成为你眼中的自己。

02. “You cannot control the way someone else reacts.”
“别人的反应并不是你能控制的。”You can only control yourself and how you react to something, not other people.
Don't expect people to always react the way you want them to (不要期待别人总是按照你所希望的那样做出反应). If someone reacts poorly, that is out of your control(那是你无法控制的). But you can reflect and see if you can communicate better next time.
Maybe the only thing we can control in this world is ourselves. 虽然我们不能控制别人的reaction（反应），但是我们可以反思一下下次有没有更好的交流方式。That's what we can and really should do, rather than blaming ourselves.

This is good in any situation and is helpful in friendships, relationships, with your family or in the workplace.
03. “Courage doesn't always roar.”
“勇气并不总是轰轰烈烈的。”Sometimes it is a quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "l will try again tomorrow." Getting back up is the most courageous thing you can do (重新站起来是你能做的最勇敢的事情).

很多时候我们会觉得像电影中的主人公与死神交手的瞬间才算是有“courage（勇气）”，但殊不知生活中大多数的courage都是无声且沉默的，也许那只是一天结束后的暗下决心：“明天再试一次。”其实内心经历了波涛汹涌之后，你早已成为了生活的勇士。
04. People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
“人们会忘记你说过的话，人们会忘记你做过的事，但人们永远不会忘记你给他们带来的感受。”
We think that what matters is what we do for people the success we achieve (我们取得的成功) and the status we have(拥有的地位). But often it is more about how we relate to and treat other people(我们如何与他人相处和对待他人).
Flora thought the only way she can get people to remember her and want to be friends with her is to make some contribution or achievement (做出一些贡献或成就). But at the end of the day she figured out what really attracts them is our character, the way we treat people (待人的方式).

This is especially true when working with kids. Often kids do not remember their teachers or activities they did, but they do remember how they felt at school.
因为Flora和Selah平时工作都会和一些孩子相处，所以她们有相似的感受。So if you're a teacher or a parent or anyone who has to spend time with kids on a regular basis (需要经常与孩子们相处的人), the way you treat them really matters to them.

05. “You can't blame a blind person for being blind… you just don’t let them drive your car.”
“不要责怪有视力障碍的人看不见，不让他们开你的车就行了。”
It points out that we need to be wise on how to protect ourselves and not just trust anyone to do anything for us. 有时候一些人造成一些事情并不是他们的本意，也许他们就是没有办法理解这些，但是这并不妨碍你采取措施保护自己。
You can be kind to everyone, that is your choice. But at the same time, protect yourself.

06. “When we hit our lowest points is when we are open to the greatest change.”
“当我们达到最低点时，我们就会愿意接受最大的变化。”
Flora would have a strange curiosity when she is at that point in her life: let's see if it can get any worse (这个情况还会更糟吗)? 可能因为那个时候已经没有那么多包袱了。有时候拥有的越多越怕失去。但是当你本身就赤手空拳的时候反而更愿意接受一些改变，承担一些风险。
