Keep that centre within you as still as a millpond, so that you can reflect all the very best without any distortions, and then you will be able to radiate that very best outward. Allow nothing to distress or disturb you; simply know that all is working out perfectly, and take it all in your stride without a worry in the world. Learn to laugh at yourself, especially when you find yourself becoming too serious and weighed down by the ways of the world. When you find yourself becoming too serious, let go , relax and begin to enjoy life, and you will find all strain and tension will vanish. If you see yourself weighed down from carrying too heavy a burden on your shoulders, immediately release that burden and rest and relax. You will find you will be able to do far more in that state of rest and relaxation than when you are as taut as a piece of elastic, fully stretched and ready to snap. 讓我內在的中心像貯水池一樣平靜，因此我可以沒有任何失真地將最好的反映出去，然後我就可以在外界傳播最好的。不要讓任何事干擾或擾亂我；僅僅只需知道一切都有著完美的進展，然後帶著它沒有任何擔憂地在這世界大步向前。學會自我調侃，尤其是當我發現自己過於認真，因世上的風氣而背上沈重負擔時。
當我發現自己過於認真時，放手，放鬆，然後開始享受生活，我會發現所有的壓力與緊張都會消散不見。如果我看到自己因為承擔太多而不看負重，即刻釋放掉那負擔，然後休息放鬆。我會發現自己在休息與放鬆的狀態下能做得更多，比我像被拉緊的橡皮圈一樣幾乎要斷裂時，更多。
