God said:
天父說：

Optimism is not superficial.It is not pie in the sky.It is one of the most supportive tools in life you have.
樂觀不是膚淺，不是懸在空中的餡餅。它是你生命中最有用的工具之一。

Optimism is success-oriented.It is the opposite of pessimism.Pessimism is denial of what life could offer you if you were open to it.
樂觀是成功導向的，而悲觀則相反。生活給予的一切你本應敞開，但悲觀卻使你對其總是抱持否定。

Pessimism，upheld as realism，is definitely playing the odds that you see for yourself as not so hotsy-totsy.Odds are often not good，yet where is it written that life must be made up of playing only fabulous odds? In this way，you may well keep great opportunity away from you.Don't count yourself out so easily.
悲觀主義就是在連自己都不看好的事上碰運氣，它的依托是"現實主義"。概率往往很小，然而誰說生命是碰運氣？機遇就是這樣被你推開的。不要如此輕率的淘汰自己。

You may think you are super-intelligent to point out to yourself and to others how unlikely the chances may be of hitting your target.What do you care if you have a one in a thousand chances to win when you win? For sure，if you don't go for it，you won't win.
一語即能說出自己和別人目標的機率如何的低，你可能還覺得自己在這方面慧眼超群。如果贏的機率只有千分之一卻贏了，你怎麼說？能肯定的是，不試永遠不會贏。

Let's consider for a moment that in having the courage to go for what you want regardless of the odds in or out of your favor，you are stirring nature.You give life an opportunity.
讓我們試想一下：想要什麼就勇敢的去做，不管機率高低，你是在喚醒天性，是為生命賦予了一次機會。

If you give up on yourself beforehand，you set a low vibration for achieving.If you have an idea to start a business，let's say，and everyone in the world says your idea will never work，and you give up on your idea，what are the odds of achieving your dream? They are nil.
如果從一開始就自我放棄，那是將自己錨定在一個低頻的振動上。若你想做一個生意，而周圍沒人看好你的想法，因此就放棄，那你夢想成就的機率有幾何？—零。

This happens every day.Someone listens to someone else，and gives up his dream.
一個人因為別人的幾句話而放棄自己的夢想，這種事天天在上演。

It also happens that someone who doesn't listen to what other knowledgeable people say may succeed amazingly.The dreamer proved true，and the critic，no matter how good his advice was，was mistaken.
不理所謂見多識廣的人的那一套，奇蹟般成功的人大有人在。點評者的建議不管多讓人信服，追夢人也會用事實證明他們的失誤。

A safe bet is not all there is.Nor do safe bets always win.
有把握的賭注不代表一切，也不代表逢賭必贏。

A defeated attitude isn't likely to make dreams come true.There is much in the world to substantiate what I am saying to you.There are myriads of people whose dreams proved true.Alas，to think of all the good dreams that never were given a chance to grow.
必敗的心態不會讓夢想成真。我說的這些在世間有很多實證。無數的人證明了美夢可以成真。唉，但同樣有更多美好的夢想，卻沒有機會得以實現。

Does this mean you must always invest everything into your every dream? Of course not.Yet I want to tell you that a lot depends upon your dream and your mettle over what other people say.
這是否說對每個夢想都要孤注一擲呢？當然不是。我要說的是：這更多取決於你的夢想和不被他人意見所左右的勇氣。

Did everyone believe in flight and believe the Wright Brothers could do it? Not at all.And if these two brothers had not brought airplanes to the world，someone else would have，yet they played their part，and it can be said that they won.Look what happened because they followed their dream.
可曾有人相信過飛機的出現？相信萊特兄弟的能力？沒人。如果不是他倆發明出來，也會有別的人，只是他們做了他們想做的，他們做到了。已發生的一切均源於他們跟隨了自己的夢想。

Who believed in Einstein? He didn't even talk until he was six.Fortunately for him and for the world，Einstein stuck to his guns.He never consulted with others for permission to go ahead and think as he did think.
又有誰會相信愛因斯坦？6歲之前都不會說話。但他的堅持，是他自己也是這個世界的幸運。他從不會諮詢別人求得認可，只想他要想的。

Careers，as well as businesses，put together by skilled people，can also show that success odds do not always win.Beginners also do not always win.You"ve heard，for instances，about Abraham Lincoln who lost many elections before he won one.
即使經驗老道的商人也不是百戰百勝，更不要說新手。要知道，林肯在競選中是失敗了許多次才勝出的。

Whoever discovered how to get a fire going from scratch—we don"t know how many times he tried before he made fire.This is the same as to say，he didn"t give up too soon.
曾發明鑽木取火的人，不知試了多少次才鑽出火花來。他一樣沒有過早的放棄。

Dare once in a while.Yes，We are speaking of possibilities.How much does an idea mean to you，really mean to your heart? It doesn"t have to mean everything to you，yet，when it does，why not give your idea a chance to be born? Not from ego-gratification but from the insistence of the idea itself.
總要有敢於去挑戰的時候。是，我是在說這種可能。一個想法對你意味著什麼，對你的心？不一定會意味著一切，然而，如果是的話，為什麼不給它一個能誕生的機會？這不是出於一種自我的滿足，而是出於你對這份主張本身的堅持。

So what if you don"t succeed? You took a stand.You gave it all you could give.Congratulations!
不成功會怎樣？畢竟你堅持了自己的立場，只要全然的付出過，就值得歡慶！
