Many times you have heard the words, ’Life is what you make it,‘ but what have you done about it? Do you not realise that you control your life, your happiness, your success, your joys and your sorrows? Life can be wonderful, thrilling and glorious, but it is up to you to make it so by expecting the very best. Live one day at a time and live it to the full. Never waste time worrying about tomorrow and what it may bring, or allow yourself to become depressed because you feel you cannot cope with whatever that may be. Always look on the bright side of life and concentrate on it in the ever-present now. Because yesterday did not go smoothly does not mean that today will be the same. Leave yesterday behind; learn from it, but do not allow it to spoil today. Today lies in front of you, untouched and unblemished. What are you going to do with it?
我听到这话语很多遍了，“生活是我所创造的” ，但我有为此做过什么呢？我难道没有意识到，我控制着我的生活，我的快乐，我的成功，我的愉悦，我的悲伤？生活可以是美妙的，令人兴奋的，和荣耀的，但这取决于我去将之打造成如此，通过期待最好的。
一次只活一天，并全然地活出它。永远不要浪费时间在担心明天，以及它可能会带来什么上面，或允许我自己变得抑郁，因为我感到我无法应对可能发生的事。
总是看见生活光明的那一面，并在当下的这一刻专注于它。因为昨天进行得不顺利并不意味着今天也会这样。将昨天留在身后；从它之中学习，但不要让它毁了今天。
今天就躺在我的面前，未被触碰、完美无瑕。我准备为它做些什么呢？
