造就一个美好的生活
Some time ago now I came to realize that how we define1 particular words - success, happiness, love, etc - can have a major impact2 on the way in which we live our life. One term that I hear thrown around often is "good life", eg "he lived a good life" . But what is a good life exactly? This term will mean different things to different people, and yet I believe there are some ingredients3 that all "good lives" share. Here are a some of these ingredients:Living without fearOnly when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live. - Dorothy ThompsonTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor4. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark TwainBeing present in the momentLife is a succession5 (校园性故事)of moments. To live each one is to succeed. - Corita KentTo live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. - Oscar WildeGratefulnessGratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy - because we will always want to have something else or something more. - Brother David Steindl-RastLoveLove doesn't make the world go'round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile. - Franklin P. JonesLife is the flower for which love is the honey. - Victor HugoA life lived for othersWe make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. - Winston ChurchillSqueezing6 the most out of our timeAnd in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. - Abraham LincolnWe get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive7 of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless. - Paul BowlesLiving with purposeThe purpose of life is a life of purpose. - Robert ByrneAcceptance8 that life will bring sadnessThere are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. - Carl JungNot taking life too seriouslyDo not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. - Elbert HubbardDo you have a quote that you would like to share? Or perhaps even your own definition9 of what a "good life" is?
