2、ll it. Life is itlive it.,However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest.

The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house救济院 as brightly as from the rich mans abode住所 ; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.,Love Your Life,不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点

4、。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。,Today we have bigger houses but smaller families;more conveniences, but less time.We have more degrees but less common sense;more knowledge but less judgment;We have more experts, but more problems;more medicines but l

6、 and lie too often. Weve learned how to make a living, but not a life; Weve added years to life, not life to years. 我们不断聚敛物质财富，却逐渐丢失了自我价值。我们的话语太多，真爱太少，谎言泛滥。我们掌握了谋生手段，却不懂得生活真谛；我们让年华付诸流水，却不曾将生命倾注其中,Wehavetallerbuildings,butshortertempers; widerfreeways,butnarrowerviewpoints.

8、ore,butaccomplishless. 我们能够往返于地球与月球之间却不乐于穿过马路向新邻居问好。 我们可以征服外部空间，却慑于走进内心世界。我们可以击碎原子，却不能突破思想偏见；我们写得很多，可学到的很少；计划很多，可完成的很少。,Wevelearnedtorush,butnottowait; wehavehigherincomes,butlowermorals.

9、shortonquality. 我们学会了追赶时间，却没学会耐心等待；我们拥有的财富越来越多，道德品质却日益沦丧。我们生产更多的电脑用于存储更多的信息和制造更多的拷贝，而相互间的交流与沟通却越来越少。我们拥有的是数量，缺乏的是质量。,Thesearethetimesoffastfoodsandslowdigestion; tallmenandshortcharacter; steepprofitsandshallowrelationships.

10、divorce; fancierhouses,butbrokenhomes. 这是一个快餐食品和消化迟缓相伴的时代；一个体格高大和性格病态并存的时代；一个追名逐利和人情冷漠相生的时代。我们的闲暇多了，乐趣却少了；食品种类多了，营养却少了；双薪家庭增加了，离婚率也激升了；居室的装修华丽了，家庭却残缺破碎了,ThatswhyIpropose,thatasoftoday,youdonotkeep anythingforaspecialoccasion,becauseeverydaythat youliveisaspecialoccasion.

Lifeisachainof momentofenjoyment,notonlyaboutsurvival.因此我奉劝大家，在当今这个时代，不必为某个特别时刻保留什么，因为我们生活的每一天都是特别的。探索知识，遨游书海，坐在门廊前欣赏眼前的景色，把所有烦恼抛在脑后。留出更多的时间与家
