“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

    Charles R. Swindoll quotes (American Writer and Clergyman, b.1934)

受氣包試譯：

隨著年紀的增長，我愈來愈了解到態度對人生的影響。我認為，態度比事實重要。它比（一個人的）過去、教育、金錢、（財務）狀況、失敗、成功、別人想什麼、說什麼、做什麼，都還要重要。它比一個人的外表、天份、或技能更重要。它可以成就，也能夠敗壞公司，教會，和家庭。而很重要的是，我們每天都可以自己決定要採用什麼態度來過日子。我們無法改變過去，我們不能改變別人的行止方式，我們沒有辦法改變必然要發生的事。我們唯一能夠控制的是我們的態度。我相信發生在我身上的事只佔人生的百分之十，其它的百分九十是我如何對待那些事，對你也是相同的情形。我們可以決定我們的態度！

（註：在幾個美國的高中教室裡看到這段話，覺得很有道理，就抄下來）

 “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

我發現人們會忘了你說過了些什麼，做過了什麼，但是他們不會忘記你給他們的感覺。

 “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

   Dr. Seuss quotes (American Writer and Cartoonist best known for his collection of children's books. 1904-1991)

要做你自己，說出你的感覺，因為那些會在意的人對你來說並不重要，而那些對你來說重要的人並不會在意。
