Your Most Ideal Day

理想生活

What is your most ideal day? Do you know exactly how you want to live your life for the next five days, five weeks, five months or five years? When was the last best day of your life? When is the next?

你心目當(dāng)中最理想的一天是什么樣子的呢?又是否想好了未來的五天、五周、五個(gè)月甚至五年要如何度過?你最近過得最美好的一天是在什么時(shí)候?下一次的美好又會是什么時(shí)候?

The best day of our lives is today. The past is no longer here. We cannot enjoy it any longer. To dwell on the past is to waste the opportunity to enjoy the present. The future is a promise, a time that will not come because what we have is only today. When tomorrow comes, it will not be tomorrow any more; it becomes your today. You cannot enjoy tomorrow unless you know how to enjoy your today. If you are to live thirty more years, you are going to experience 10,950 todays. But every day that passes without your notice is a day cut off from your life. Your life is a day shorter every new day.

生命中最美好的一天莫過于今天。過往不復(fù)存在，我們再不能享受昔日時(shí)光。沉湎于過去等于浪費(fèi)樂享當(dāng)下的機(jī)會。未來是一個(gè)承諾，是一段沒有盡頭、不會到來的日子，因?yàn)槲覀兯軗碛械闹挥薪裉?。?dāng)明天到來，它便不再是明天，而是屬于你的今天。唯有內(nèi)心清楚今天該如何度過，方能享受明天。倘若再活三十余載，就相當(dāng)于擁有了10,950個(gè)今天。但若是你不去注意它，任其流逝，那么你就浪費(fèi)掉了它。新的一天來臨，意味著你的生命又少了一天。

Each day is a decision to live. Today is a gift; this is why it is called the "present". How you use this day is up to you. At each new day, you decide whether to unwrap that gift, or let it stay in the corner and spoil. Each day is a decision to live your ideal life.

每過一天，都是對生活的一次選擇。今天是一份禮物(gift)，這也是何以稱之為“禮物(present)”的原因。如何利用今天，取決于你：是拆開禮物，還是將禮物丟在角落，任其壞掉——這是你每天都要面臨的抉擇，而每一天所做的抉擇都是為了讓自己過上自己想要的生活。
