丘陵和山脉通常被认为是永恒的象征，成功抵御着自然的破坏力量，但其实它们从地质学角度讲往往是相对短暂的。

Hills and mountains are often regarded as the epitome of permanence, successfully resisting the destructive forces of nature, but in fact they tend to be relatively short-lived in geological terms.

另外，在一个永恒长的自然循环变化模式中，这只是一个极其短暂的阶段，无论我们在不在或同意与否，今后依然会出现。

And it's an extremely short segment within an eternally long natural cyclic pattern of change that continues to occur independent of our presence or approval.

你会以永恒的价值为决策的关键，而不着眼于短暂的价值。

Eternal values, not temporal ones, should become the deciding factors for your decisions.
