使每一天都重要

荷叶/译

       曾经有人告诉我，在每一天结束时，应该把这一天从日历中画掉，同时大声地说：“又一天从我生命中逝去，一去不复返。”试一试每天都这样做，看看这能使你的注意力改善多少。当你结束一天，感觉是如果有机会重活，你还会这样度过时，你获得一种感激感，这种感觉帮你把注意力集中到真正重要的事情上。当你结束一天，感觉遗憾或失落时，你获得的是一种认识，第二天会以不同的方式度过。

         如果不经意，我们会注意不到时光在我们身边流逝。我们选择阻力最小的路，沉迷于舒适地带。整晚看电视而不去学习帮我们进步的技能。我们容忍毫无道理的批评，被动屈服于各种请求而不坚持自己的需要。我们听任因缺乏信心而让机会白白溜走。

         回顾过去的一年，甚至过去的一周，躺在床上，我感觉已经尽力了。引用一句话，如能重复，我还会这样度过。再用一句陈词滥调，生活不是一场排练，它没有重播键。而且它没有删除重录设备。

Make Every DayCount

I  was oncetold by someone that I should end each day by crossing it off my calendar andsaying out loud, "There goes another day of my life, never to returnagain." Try this for yourself, and notice how much it sharpens your focus.When you end a day with the feeling that you would have lived it the same ifyou had the chance to repeat it, you gain a sense of gratitude that helps youfocus on what's really important to you. When you end the day with a feeling ofregret or loss, you gain the awareness to try a different approach the nextday.

If we're notcareful, we don't notice that the days are passing us by. We take the paths ofleast resistance, sticking within our comfort zone. We watch TV all eveningrather than learn skills that will help us advance. We put up with unwarrantedcriticism, we passivelysubmitto requests rather than assert our needs. We allow a lack of confidenceto pass up on an opportunity.

Looking backover the past year, or even the past week, by doing things and stretchingmyself that I feel I have made the most of my days. Or as the quote says, Iwould live it the same way if allowed to repeat it. But, to use another cliché, life is not a rehearsal -there is no replay button. Moreover there is no erase and record againfacility!

珍惜每一天、每一时，但也要尽力而为，适可而止。
