A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
现在
Now
Now is the only time. How we relate to it creates the future. In other words, if we're going to be more cheerful in the future, it's because of our aspiration and exertion to be cheerful in the present. What we do accumulates; the future is the result of what we do right now.
现在是唯一的时机。我们与它的关系创造了未来。换句话说,如果我们想要在未来变得更快乐,那是因为我们的愿望和努力在现在变得快乐。我们所做的是累积的;未来是我们现在所做事情的结果。
The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.
生命中最美好的东西离你最近:鼻孔里的气息,眼里的光芒,脚下的鲜花,手中的责任,正前方的道路。那么,就不要贪图天上的星星了,只管去做生活中平凡而平凡的工作吧,要坚信日常的工作和面包是生活中最甜蜜的东西。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
Life is like a coin. You can spend it any way you wish, but you only spend it once.
生活就像一枚硬币。你想怎么花就怎么花,但你只能花一次。

还有一位老诗人,我不记得他的名字了,他说:“真理是时间的女儿。”
Light tomorrow with today!
用今天照亮明天!
If now isn't a good time for the truth I don't see when we'll get to it.
如果现在不是了解真相的好时机,我不知道我们什么时候才能了解真相。
I always wanted to be somebody, but now I realize I should have been more specific.
我一直想成为大人物,但现在我意识到我应该更具体一些。
Go for it now. The future is no promised now.
现在就开始吧。现在还不能保证将来。
