我要把今天当成生命中的最后一天来过
荷叶/译
我要把今天当成生命中的最后一天来过
只剩下这宝贵的最后一天，我该做些什么呢？首先，我要把生命当成一个容器密封起来，不让一滴琼浆玉液洒落到沙滩上。我不会浪费一分一秒去为昨天的不幸，昨天的失败和昨天的心痛而忧伤。昨天已经不幸，为何还要抛弃今日的美好？
沙漏中的沙子能向上流吗？太阳能西升东落吗？我能重活昨日并改正其中的错误吗？我能召回昨日的伤口使之完好吗？我能比昨日更年轻吗？我能收回出口的恶语，挥出的拳头，造成的伤痛吗？不能。昨天已被永久埋葬，我将不再想它。
我要把今天当成生命的最后一天来过。
那么我该怎么做？忘记昨天也不要想明天。为什么要把金钱投注在不确定上呢？明天的沙子能流回到今天的沙漏中来吗？今天早晨太阳能升起两次吗？身在今天，我能做明天的事情吗？我能把明天的黄金收入今日的囊中吗？明天的孩子今天能够出生吗？明天死亡的阴影能够倒回来给欢喜的今天蒙上阴暗的色彩吗？应不应该关注那些从没目睹过的事件？要不要为那些从没经历过的困难而折磨自己？和昨天一样，明天也应被埋葬，我再也不会想它。
我要把今天当成生命的最后一天来过。
今天是我的全部，现在的时光是我的永恒。我像一个被判死缓的犯人一样，欢欣鼓舞地迎接今日的日出。我举起双臂感激新的一天这个无价之宝。当想到昨天与我一起迎接日出的人，有些今天已不复存在时，我心存感激。我真的很幸运，今日之时光是我不配得到的，它是额外的奖赏。为什么比我强得多的人已经离世，我还能再活一天呢？是不是他们已经完成了自己的人生目标，而我的还没有完成？这是不是再给我一个机会以使自己成为我想做的人？造物主有用意吗？今天是不是我用来超越自己的时光呢？
我要把今天当成生命的最后一天来过。
我只有一次生命，而生命只不过是测量时间的一个单位。浪费了时间就等于毁灭了生命。浪费今天就等于毁掉了生命的最后睛页。因此，我要珍惜今天的每一小时，因为它将一去不返。我不能把今天存用银行，以备明天来提取，谁能捕捉住风？因此今天的每一分钟我都要双手紧握，全心爱抚，因为它是无价的。一个垂死的人，哪怕他乐意放弃所有的金子，谁曾见他能够买回哪怕是一呼一吸？我该给将来的时光定一个什么价位？我要使它们成为无价之宝。
我要把今天当成生命的最后一天来过。
我要避免盛怒这个时光杀手。以行动摧毁拖拉，以信任埋葬怀疑，以自信肢解恐惧。不听闲人说的话，不与闲人为伍，不去拜访无所事事的人。此后，我知道在法庭上游手好闲就是从那些所爱的人手里盗取衣食和温暖。我不是小偷，而是一个有爱心的人，而今天是我最后的机会来证明自己的爱心和伟大。
我要把今天当成生命的最后一天来过。
今日事今日毕。今天我要趁孩子还小，好好爱抚他们；明天他们就会离去，我也一样。今天我要拥抱我的女人，给她无数甜蜜的吻；明天她将离去，我也一样。今天我要去帮助一个处于困境的朋友，明天他将不再求助，我也将听不到他的哀求。今天我要把自己奉献出去，我要工作，明天我将无可奉献，也不会有人来接受奉献。
我要把今天当成生命的最后一天来过。
如果今天是我生命的最后一天，它将化为一个最好的纪念碑。我要充分利用今天，把分分秒秒作为甘露来啜饮，心怀感激。我会比以往更加努力地工作，直到筋疲力尽，我还要继续下去。我要打更多的电话，我要卖更多的货物，我要挣更多的钱。今日的每一分钟都要比昨天的时光更加富有收获。我最后的一天一定是最好的一天。
我要把今天当成生命的最后一天来过。
如果今天不是我生命的最后一天，我要双膝跪倒，感谢上苍。
附：原文
I will live this day as if it is my last. And what shall I do with this last precious day which remains in my keeping? First, I will seal up its container of life so that not one drop spills itself upon the sand. I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday's misfortunes, yesterday's defeats, yesterday's aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad? Can sand flow upward in the hour glass? Will the sun rise where it sets and set where it rises? Can I relive the errors of yesterday and right them? Can I call back yesterday's wounds and make them whole? Can I become younger than yesterday? Can I take back the evil that was spoken, the blows that were struck, the pain that was caused? No. Yesterday is buried forever and I will think of it no more. I will live this day as if it is my last. And what then shall I do? Forgetting yesterday neither will I think of tomorrow. Why should I throw note after maybe? Can tomorrow's sand flow through the glass before today's? Will the sun rise twice this morning? Can I perform tomorrow's deeds while standing in today's path? Can I place tomorrow's gold in today's purse? Can tomorrow's child be born today? Can tomorrow's death cast its shadow backward and darken today's joy? Should I concern myself over events which l may never witness? Should I torment myself with problems that may never come to pass? No! Tomorrow lies buried with yesterday, and I will think of it no more. I will live this day as if it is my last. This day is all I have and these hours are now my eternity. I greet this sunrise with cries of joy as a prisoner who is reprieved from death. I lift mine arms with thanks for this priceless gift of a new day. So too, I will beat upon my heart with gratitude as I consider all who greeted yesterday's sunrise who are no longer with the living today. I am indeed a fortunate man and today's hours are but a bonus, undeserved. Why have I been allowed to live this extra day when others, far better than I, have departed? Is it that they have accomplished their purpose while mine is yet to be achieved? Is this another opportunity for me to become the man I know I can be? Is there a purpose in nature? Is this my day to excel? I will live this day as if it is my last. I have but one life and life is naught but a measurement of time. When I waste one I destroy the other. If I waste today I destroy the last page of my life. Therefore, each hour of this day will I cherish for it can never return. It cannot be banked today to be withdrawn on the morrow, for who can trap the wind? Each minute of this day will I grasp with both hands and fondle with love for its value is beyond price. What dying man can purchase another breath though he willingly give all his gold? What price dare I place on the hours ahead? I will make them priceless! I will live this day as if it is my last. I will avoid with fury the killers of time. Procrastination I will destroy with action; doubt I will bury under faith; fear I will dismember with confidence. Where there are idle mouths I will listen not; where there are idle hands I will linger not; where there are idle bodies I will visit not. Henceforth I know that to court idleness is to steal food, clothing, and warmth from those I love. I am not a thief. I am a man of love and today is my last chance to prove my love and my greatness. I will live this day as if it is my last. The duties of today I shall fu1fill today. Today I shall fondle my children while they are young; tomorrow they will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall embrace my woman with sweet kisses; tomorrow she will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall lift up a friend in need; tomorrow he will no longer cry for help, nor will I hear his cries. Today I shall give myself in sacrifice and work; tomorrow I will have nothing to give, and there will be none to receive. I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is my last, it will be my greatest monument. This day I will make the best day of my life. This day I will drink every minute to its full. I will savor its taste and give thanks. I will make the every hour count and each minute I will trade only for something of value. I will labor harder than ever before and push my muscles until they cry for relief, and then I will continue. I will make more calls than ever before. I will sell more goods than ever before. I will earn more gold than ever before. Each minute of today will be more fruitful than hours of yesterday. My last must be my best. I will live this day as if it is my last. And if it is not, I shall fall to my knees and give thanks. |
