即使你是诚实的和坦率的，人们可能还是会欺骗你，不管怎样，你还是要诚实和坦率；
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;Be honest and frank anyway.

你多年来建造的东西，有人在一夜之间把它摧毁，不管怎样，你还是要去建造；
What you spend years building,Someone could destroy overnight;Build anyway.

如果你找到了平安和喜乐，他们可能会嫉妒你，不管怎样，你还是要喜乐；
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;Be happy anyway.

你今天做的善事，人们往往明天就会忘记，不管怎样，你还是要做善事；
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;Be good anyway.

即使把你最好的东西给了这个世界，也许这些东西永远都不够，不管怎样，把你最好的东西给这个世界；
Give the world the best you have,And it may never be enough;Give the world the best you have anyway.

你看，说到底，它是你和上帝之间的事，而决不是你和他人之间的事。
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;It is never between you and them anyway.
