When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like:“If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.”
当我十七岁的时候,我读到了一句话:“如果你把每一天都当作生命中的最后一天去生活,那么有一天你会发现你是正确的”
It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years。
这句话给我留下了深刻的印象。从那时开始,过了33年。
I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself:“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
我每天早上都会对着镜子问自己:“如果今天是我生命中的最后一天,你会不会完成你今天想做的事情呢?”
And whenever the answer has been “NO”for too many days in a row,I know I need to change something。
当答案连续很多次被给予“不是”的时候,我知道自己需要改变某些事情了。
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
”记住你即将死去“是我一生中遇到的最重要的箴言。它帮我指明了生命中重要的选择。
Because almost everything-all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure。
因为几乎所有的事情,包括所有的荣誉,所有的骄傲,所有对难堪和失败的恐惧。
these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
这些在死亡面前都会消失。我看到的是留下的真正重要的东西。
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.
你有时候会思考你将会失去某些东西,”记住你即将死去“是我知道的避免这些想法的最好办法。
You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart。
你已经赤身裸体了,你没有理由不去跟随自己的心一起跳动。
加油。
