人生的意义
荷叶/译
不管你有没有准备好，这一切都将结束。再也不会有日出，有白天，有时时刻刻和分分秒秒。你所收集的一切，不管被你珍视着还是已经遗忘，都将易手。你的财富，荣誉和暂时的权力都将变得无关紧要。你曾经有过什么和欠过别人什么，都将变得毫无意义。你的积怨、恨意、沮丧和猜忌都将化为乌有。
同样，你的希望、报负、规划和待做清单都将过期。曾经对你无比重要的得失成败也将淡去。你从何处来，你走过怎样的人生轨迹，将会失去意义。
你的美貌，你的辉煌将会毫无意义。你的性别，你的肤色，你的种族将会无关紧要。
那么，还有什么是重要的呢？你的生命价值将如何衡量呢？
重要的不是你买过什么，而是你创造过什么？不是你得到过什么，而是你给予过什么？
重要的不是你的成功，而在于你的人生意义。
重要的不是你学到过什么，而是你传授过什么。
重要的是你正直、富有同情心、富有勇气和牺牲精神的一举一动，使别人的生活更加丰富多彩，并激励他们以你为榜样。
重要的不是你的能力，而是你的性格。
重要的不是你认识多少人，而是当你离去时，有多少人会感到是一个无法弥补的损失。
重要的不是你记住了什么，而是有多少爱你的人记住了你。
重要的是你将要被记忆多久，由谁来记忆，以何种方式来记忆。
过有意义的人生不是偶然的。
它不靠环境因素，而靠的是选择。
选择过有意义的人生吧。
附：原文
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 to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. 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.
It won't matter where you came 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. So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured? What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave. What will matter is not your success, but your significance. What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. What will matter is not your competence, but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone. What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what. Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters. |
