The tides advance, the tides recede. Winter goes and summer comes. Summer wanes and the cold increases. The sun rises, the sun sets. The moon is full, the moon is black. The birds arrive, the birds depart. Flowers bloom, flowers fade. Seeds are sown, harvests are reaped. All nature is a circle of moods and I am a part of nature and so, like the tides, my moods will rise, my moods will fall.
It is one of nature's tricks, little understood, that each day I awaken with moods that have changed from yesterday. Yesterday's joy wilI become today's sadness, yet today's sadness will grow into tomorrow's joy. Inside me is a wheel, constantly turning from sadness to joy, from exultation（狂喜） to depression, from happiness to melancholy（忧郁）. Like the flowers, today's full bloom of joy will fade and wither into despondency（泄气）, yet I will remember that as today's dead flower carries the seed of tomorrow's bloom so, too, does today's sadness carry the seed of tomorrow's joy.
But I make my own weather, yea I transport it with me. If I bring rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism（悲观） to my customers then they will react with rain and gloom and darkness and pessimism and they will purchase naught（零，无价值）. If I bring joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter to my customers they will react with joy and enthusiasm and brightness and laughter and my weather will produce a harvest of sales and a granary（谷仓） of gold for me.
