To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion. To be worthy, not respectable and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully,do all bravely,await occasions, hurry never.
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This will be my symphony.
钱财不多，但生活得心满意足；追求优雅而非奢华，追求高尚而非时尚。活得要有意义，但无需赢得万人敬慕或挣得万贯家财；努力学习，静静思索，谈吐文雅，坦诚行事；打开心扉倾听星星的私语和鸟儿的歌唱，倾听婴儿的咿呀学语和圣哲的微言大义；愉快地承受一切，勇敢地去做所有的事，等待机遇，永不匆忙。
总之，让精神境界自发地、不知不觉地，在平凡的事物中扩展。这就是我的生命交响曲。
