幸福的秘訣:簡單的生活很幸福

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass no someone else.

不管你是否做好了心理準(zhǔn)備，終有一天，一切都會結(jié)束。那時，將不再有日出、歲月、小時和分鐘的概念。你曾擁有的一切，無論是值得珍惜的還是應(yīng)該遺忘的，那將轉(zhuǎn)予他人。

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.

你的財(cái)富、聲望和世俗的權(quán)力都將與你脫離關(guān)系。你所擁有的和所虧欠的都將與你不相干。

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear. So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.

你的惡意、憤恨、挫敗感和嫉妒都會消失殆盡。當(dāng)然，你的希望、抱負(fù)、計(jì)劃和要做的事也會無法實(shí)現(xiàn)。曾對你至關(guān)重要的得與失，也慢慢地淡漠了。

It won’t matter where you come from, or on what side of the tracks you lived. It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant.

那時，你來自何方和如何生活都不重要。同樣，曾經(jīng)非常光鮮亮麗的你也毫無意義。你的性別、膚色和種族也會與你無關(guān)。

So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?

那么，究竟什么才是真正該珍惜的呢？又該以什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)去衡量人生的價值呢？

What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.

你要珍惜的，不是你曾經(jīng)獲得的成功，而是你的價值。

What will matter is not your success, but your significance.

你要珍惜的，不是你買的東西，也不是你所創(chuàng)造的，更不是你所獲得的，而是你給予的。

What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.

你要珍惜的，不是你曾學(xué)會了什么，而是你曾留下了什么。

What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.

真正值得珍惜的，應(yīng)該是你是否曾用自身的正直、同情心、勇氣以及奉獻(xiàn)精神去感染和鼓舞過他人，使自己成為一個好榜樣。

What will matter is not your competence, but your character.

你要珍惜的，不是你的能力，而是你的為人。

What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone.

你要珍惜的，不是你曾與多少人相識，而是當(dāng)你離開時，那些會因你的離去而久陷于悲傷中的人。

What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you.

你要珍惜的，不是你的全部記憶，而是對你愛的人的情懷。

What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.

你要珍惜的，不是你離去后，會在人們的心中留下多久的回憶，而是哪些人會因哪些事而將你銘記于心。

Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident.

這些值得珍惜的事情在人的一生中并非偶然。

It’s not a matter of circumstance but of choice.

外界環(huán)境并不重要，要謹(jǐn)慎地做出最后的選擇。

Choose to live a life that matters.

重中之重是選擇一個適合自己的生活方式。
