You have a choice
由你選擇
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important.
今日清晨,我早早醒來,想到午夜鐘聲敲響前將做的一切,激動不已。我有責任讓今日過的充實,我很重要。
My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
我的工作就是選擇,選擇將如何度過每一日。
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
今日陰雨連綿,我可以怨天尤人,我也可以大感快慰,因為草地得以免費澆灌。
Today I can feel sad that I don’t have more money or I can be glad that my finance encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
今日囊中羞澀,我可以郁悶難過,我也可以高興快活,因為這使我得以理性消費,從而遠離浪費。
今日健康不佳,我可以牢騷滿腹,我也可以歡呼雀躍,因為我依然活在世上。
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn’t give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
今日想起成長歲月中父母給予太少,我可以悲嘆不已,我也可以感激萬分,因為他們賦予了生命。
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
今日因玫瑰莖上有刺,我可以嗚咽哭泣,我也可以歡心慶賀,因為有刺的莖上也有玫瑰花。
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.
今日因缺朋少友,我可以哀傷悲痛,我也可以興奮不已,因為我能去發(fā)掘新的感情關系。
Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.
今日不得不工作,我可以哭訴抱怨,我也可以高聲歡呼,因為我起碼還有工作可做。
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.
今日不得不做家務,我可以唉聲嘆氣,我也可以倍感榮幸,因為上帝賜予我這個避風港灣,讓我休憩身體,慰藉心靈。
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.
今日在我面前展開,等我去塑造。而我正是它的雕刻師,來賦予它某種形狀。
What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have.
今日如何,由我定奪。今日如何度過,由我來選擇!
在家也能快樂學習:
