Catch the Star That Will Take You to Your Dreams

　追随你的梦想

　Catch the star that holds your destiny，the one that forever twinkles within your heart．Take advantage of precious opportunities while they still sparkle before you．Always believe that your ultimate goal is attainableas long as you commit yourself to it．

　追随掌握你命运的那颗星，那颗永远在你心中闪烁的星星。当它在你面前闪耀时，抓住这宝贵的机会。请相信，只要你坚持不懈地追求，最终的目标总能实现。

　Though barriers may sometimes stand in the way of your dreams，remember that your destiny is hiding behind them．Accept the fact that not everyone is going to approve of the choices you’ve made．Have faith in your judgment．Catch the star that twinkles in your heart and it will lead you to your destiny’s path．Follow that pathway and uncover the sweet sunrises that await you．

　尽管实现梦想的途中有时会遇到障碍，请记住你的命运就在这些障碍的背后。也请接受这样一个现实：不是每个人都会赞成你的选择。相信自己的判断，追随那颗在你心中闪烁的星星，它会引领你踏上命运的路途。坚持走下去，幸福的阳光正等着你。

　Take pride in your accomplishments，as they are stepping stones to your dreams．Understand that you may make mistakes，but don’t let them discourage you．Value your capabilities and talents for they are what make you truly unique．The greatest gifts in life are not purchased，but through hard work anddetermination．Find the star that twinkles in your heart--for you alone are capable of making your brightest dreams come true．Give your hopes everything you’ve got and you will catch the star mat holds your destiny．

　对每一次进步，都应引以为豪，因为它们是你实现梦想的阶梯。要知道在这个过程中你也许会犯错误，但不要气馁,珍视你的潜能，因为它们使你独一无二。生命中最珍贵的礼物不是花钱买来的，而是通过努力和决心获取的。寻找你心中闪耀的那颗星星，因为只有你才能使自己的美梦成真：满怀希望并全力以赴，你就能摘下掌握命运的那颗星。
