一、Life is all about stupidity 人生贵在糊涂

We all, at one time or another, have pretended to be a rock star, singing and dancing along to our favorite song. Most of us have done this in the privacy of our own room when we were kids and as adults, in the privacy of our homes. Me? I love to do that when I drive! I turn on the radio, find a song that I can sing along too and pretty soon my arms are in the air and I am moving along to the rhythm. Most of the time, I do this on my way to work.

我们每个人，在不同时期，都曾经像一个摇滚歌星那样，伴着我们最爱的那首歌又唱又跳.很多人在小时候，甚至是已长大成人，都曾在我们自己房间和家里这样的隐秘空间里这样做过。我呢?我喜欢在开车的时候这样!打开收音机，找一首会唱的歌，很快我就会张开双臂，随着节奏起舞。大部分时候，我在上班的路上这么做。

Yes, that is true. I will be in my nice work clothes, jamming while driving or stopped at a traffic light. I get weird looks from some people and others laugh. Personally, I love to get lost in the rhythm of a song which leads me to share with you the importance of being silly!

是的，那是真的。我会穿上我漂亮的工作服，在堵车和遇到交通灯时，有人就会用奇怪的眼神看着我，或者笑我。对我个人而言，我喜欢沉浸在一首歌的节奏中，由此我愿和你们分享：为人糊涂贵在何处。

The definition for the word silly, according to the dictionary is: stupid, foolish and nonsensical. I know many people do not want to look foolish. So they walk around all serious, which in all honesty, is foolish!

糊涂一词在字典中的定义是：愚蠢的，傻，荒谬的。我知道很多人都不想被人看作愚笨。所以他们在生活中始终一脸严肃，而这在本质上才是真正的愚笨。

No one is perfect, I repeat: no one is perfect. I don"t care how educated, how thin, how beautiful, how simple, how frugal, how rich, and so on No one is perfect! So why pretend to be something you are not?

人无完人，我重申一次：没有人是完美的。我不在乎一个人学识多深，身材多好，外表多美，思想多浅薄，生活多俭朴，多富有，等等 人无完人!那么，为什么要伪装成我们实际上本不是的呢?

Life is so short You never know when this beautiful journey will be over, so why waste a single second on being so full of rigidity? Here is a quote by Souza, that I think says it all and is a great recipe for life:

人生何其短暂 你不会知道这美好的征程何时会结束，那么，为什么要浪费一分一秒，让自己变得棱角分明?这里引用索萨的话，我觉得她一语中的，是人生的一大秘方。

Dance as though no one is watching you, Love as though you have never been hurt before, 　　Sing as though no one can hear you,

Live as though heaven is on earth.

跳舞吧，就像没有人欣赏一样，去爱吧，就像没有受到伤害一样，唱歌吧，就像没有人倾听一样，生活吧，就像今天是最后一天一样。

When we were kids, we had no idea of what limitations were and we had no care in the world so we could do things without worrying about how we appeared to others. However, as we grew up, we lost that childlike innocence.

当我们还是孩子，我们天不怕，地不怕，无忧无虑，所以我们可以不在乎自己再别人眼中的形象去做事情。然而，当我们长大，我们失去了那种天真烂漫。

So don"t lose the child that still lives within you. The next time you feel down, go turn on your favorite song, and sing and dance along like there is no tomorrow. Or watch something that makes you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine to whatever ails you and nothing is better than laughing so hard that your tummy hurts. Trust me, you will feel a whole lot better, and who doesn"t want to feel good?

所以，不要丢失你心中那个小孩。下次你感到沮丧时，去打开你最爱的那首歌吧，随之歌唱起舞，就像没有明天一样。或者看点能让你笑的东西。笑声是除去任何烦恼良方，没有什么比笑到肚子疼更好的事了。相信我，你会好受很多，谁又不想让自己好受呢?

二、 The Importance of Mutual Understanding 相互理解的重要性

The world is full of diversity, the people belong to different culture, language and faith, they represent numerous tradition, custom and value, it is easier to perceive that people are different than they are the similar. So achieving mutual understanding is not just a matter of importance, but also of necessity.

世界充满了多样性，人们来自不同的文化，语言和信仰，他们代表着不同的传统，习俗和价值，相对于彼此间的相似性，我们很容易察觉到人们之间的差异性。因此达到互相理解不仅重要，而且也很必要。

On the one hand, mutual understanding is the basis of building friendships and relationships. Only the two sides of people understand each other, can they put away the difference and cooperate with each other. Difference exists all the time, but sometimes people need to reach the agreement, making things work efficiently, if each of them understand each other and are willing to making agreement, it will be good for them to keep the long-term cooperate relationship.

在一方面，互相理解是建立友谊和各种关系的基础。只有当两方的人互相理解，他们才能把异议放到一边，互相合作。异议一直都存在，但是有时候人们需要达成共识，提高办事效率，如果他们可以彼此理解，愿意达成共识，这有利于他们建立长期的合作关系。

On the other hand, mutual understanding can make people avoid conflicts. It is impossible for people to agree with the others all the time, they have different cultures, so they will deal with things in different ways, maybe some will against the other's way. At this moment, we need to respect people's religion, never argue with them, just to avoid conflicts.

另一方面，互相理解可以让人们避免冲突。人们之间不可能一直保持意见一致，他们有不同的文化，因此他们在处理事情方面会有不同的方式，也许一些人的做法和另一方相悖。在这个时候，我们需要尊重人们的信仰，不要和他们争论，避免冲突。

In conclusion, we should share each other's culture and tradition, so we can come to mutual understand, making things work better and create a harmonious world.

总的来说，我们应该分享彼此的文化和传统，这样我们才可以互相理解，让事情更好地进展，创造一个和谐的世界。
