Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

  • -- Groucho Marx 格劳乔·马克斯

每天早晨,当我睁开眼睛,我对自己说:我,而不是事件,有能力让我今天开心或不开心。我可以选择哪一个。昨天已经死了,明天还没有到来。我只有一天,就在今天,我要快乐地度过这一天。
