Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes. 无论准备好与否，总会有一天生命会走向尽头。那里没有日出，没有白天，没有小时又或分钟。 All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. 所有你所收集的东西，不管你珍惜或忘记，它们都终将流入他人手中。 Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. 不管是你得到的或是你欠别人的，可你的财产、名誉和权势也都会变成和你毫不相干的东西。 Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear. 你的怨恨、愤慨、挫折和妒忌最终也将消失。 So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire. 因此，你的希望、抱负、计划以及行动日程表也将全部结束。 The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. 当初看得比较重的成功得失也会消失。 It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived. 你来自何方，住在穷人区还是富人区也都不重要了。 It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant. 你昔日的漂亮与辉煌也都不重要了，你的性别、肤色、种族地位也将消失。 So what will matter?How will the value of your days be measured? 因此，什么重要呢？怎么衡量你有生之年的价值呢？ What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built;not what you got, but what you gave. 萤要的不是你买了什么，而是你创造了什么；不是你得到了什么，而是你给予了什么。 What will matter is not your success, but your significance. 重要的不是你成功了，而是你生命的意义。 What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught. 重要的不是你学到了什么，而是你传授了什么。 What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. 重要的是每个行动之中都有正直和勇气的气概，伟大的同情心和牺牲精神，并且鼓励他人遵从榜样。 What will matter is not your competence, but your character. 重要的不是你的能力，而是你的性格。 What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss whenyou re gone. 重要的不是你认识多少人，而是在你离开后，别人会认为是个永远的损失。 What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you. 重要的不是你想念谁，而是爱你的人想念你。 What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what. 重要的是别人会记你多长时间，谁记着你，为什么记着你。 Living a life that matters doesn t happen by accident. 生命中重要的是平安无事。 It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice. 那不是环境的问题，而是选择的问题。 Choose to live a life that matters. 选择有意义的人生吧！ (责任编辑：admin) |
