How will you choose to spend your last hours
when you have 24 hours to live?
what events, what experiences, what
associations should we crowd into those
last hours as mortal beings? What
happiness should we find in reviewing the
past, what regrets?”
作为注定要死的人我们在最后的时刻会干些什
么?体验些什么?联想些什么?在回首往事时,我
们又能领略到何种快慰,何种悔恨呢?
Sometimes I have thought it would
be an excellent rule to live each day as
if we should die tomorrow. Such an
attitude would emphasize sharply the
values of life. We should live each day
with a gentleness, a vigor and a
keenness of appreciation.
有时我想，如果我们度过这一天时都假
定明天即将去世，这是个极好的准则。这
样的处事态度会明显突出生命的价值，我
们就会高雅的，朝气蓬勃的，感受强烈的
来度过每一天。
—— Helen Keller （海伦•凯勒）
