For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin , real life. But, there was always some obsacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinnished business, time still to be served or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin.
长久以来,生活--真正的生活,好象立刻就要开始了。然而总是有些障碍,有些事需要先处理,有些工作还没有完成,时间像是一位要侍奉的主或者是一笔要偿还的债,然后生活才能开始。
At last it dawned on me that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.
最后,我终于明白了,没有通往幸福的路,幸福本身就是这条路。
So treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you share it with someone special, someone special enough to spend your time with. Make the most of your time. Don’t waste too much of your time studying, working, or stressing about something that seems important. Do what you want to do to be happy but also do what you can to make the people you care about happy. Remember that time waits for no one. So stop waiting until you take your last test, until you finnish school, until you go back to school, until you have the perfect body, the perfect car, or whatever other perfect thing you desire.
Stop waiting until the weekend, when you can party or let loose, until summer, spring, fall or winter, until you find the right person and get married, until you die, until your born again, to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy.
因此,好好珍惜你拥有的每一个瞬息,尽量多地去珍惜,因为你正在和一些特别的人、那些足够特别的人一起分享你的时刻。记住时间不会为任何人停下脚步。于是,在你结束最后一场考试之前,在你毕业前,在你返还母校之前,在你拥有完美的身材,漂亮的车子或者任何其他你梦寐以求的美好事物之前,不要等待。直到那个你可以参加派队放松一下的周末,直到春夏与秋冬,直到你找到合适的人结婚,直到你死去而后重生。认定最美好的时光莫过于此时此刻的快乐,在此之前,不要等待。认定再没有一个更好的时间比当下更能使你快乐了。
Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
So work like you don’t need the money,
Love like you have never been hurt,
and dance like no one’s watching.
幸福是一段旅程而不是终点站,所以,
工作吧,就像不需要金钱一样,
去爱吧,就像从未受过伤害一样,
跳舞吧,就像没有人注视一样。
