think it over
好好想想
anonymous/佚名
today we have higher buildings and wider highways,but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view;we spend more,but enjoy less;we have bigger houses,but smaller families;we have more compromises,but less time;we have more knowledge,but less judgment;we have more medicines,but less health;we have multiplied out possessions,but reduced out values we talk much,we love only a little,and we hate too much;今天我们拥有了更高层的楼宇以及更宽阔的公路,但是我们的性情却更急躁,眼光也更加狭隘;我们消耗的更多,享受到的却更少;我们的房子更大了,但我们的家庭却更小;我们妥协更多,但时间更少;我们拥有了更多的知识,但判断力却更差了;我们有了更多的药品,但健康却不如以往;我们拥有更多的财富,但价值却更少了;我们说的多了,爱的却少了,我们的仇恨也更多了;we reached the moon and came back,but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors;we have conquered the outer space,but not our inner space;we have higher income,but less morals;these are times with more liberty,but less joy;we have much more food,but less nutrition;these are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home,but divorces increase these are times of houses,but more broken homes;that’s why i propose,that as of today:you do not keep anything for a special occasion,because every day that you live is a special occasion.search for knowledge,read more,sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs;我们可以往返月球,但却难以迈出一步去亲近我们的左邻右舍;我们可以征服外层空间,却征服不了我们的内心;我们的收入增加了,但道德却更少了;我们的时代更加自由了,但拥有的快乐时光却更少了;我们有了更多的食物,但所能得到的营养却更少了;现在每个家庭都可以有双份收入,但离婚的现象越来越多了:现在的住家越来越精致,但也有了更多破碎的家庭;这就是我为什么要说,让我们从今天开始;不要将你的东西为了某一个特别的时刻而预留着,因为你生活的每一天都是特别节日;寻找更多的知识,多读一些书,坐在你家的前廊里,以赞美的眼光去享受眼前的风景,不要带着任何功利的想法;spend more time with your family and friends,eat your favorite foods,visit the places you love;life is a chain of moments of enjoyment,not only about survival;use your crystal goblets.do not save your best perfume,and use it every time you feel you want it;remove from your vocabulary phrases like“one of these days”,or“someday”let‘s write that letter we thought of writing “one of these days”!let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them;do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life;every day,every hour,and every minute is special;and you don‘t know if it will be your last.
多花点时间和朋友与家人在一起,吃你爱吃的食物,去你想去的地方;生活是一串串的快乐时光,我们不仅仅是为了生存而生存;举起你的水晶酒杯吧;不要吝啬洒上你最好的香水,你想用的时候就享用吧;从你的词汇库中移去所谓的“有那么一天”或者“某一天”;曾打算“有那么一天”去写的信,就在今天写吧!告诉家人和朋友,我们是多么爱他们;不要延迟任何可以给你的生活带来欢笑与快乐的事情;每一天、每一小时、每一分钟都是那么特别;你无法知道这是不是最后一刻。(未完待续)
