创造地球上最美好的一天

　　an ordinary morning. you are starting your ordinary day. do you want it to be ordinary? ask yourself a question: “what would i do if today was the last day of my life?” i think your answer will be: “i would like it to be the best day of my life.”
　　一个普通的早晨，你开始了普通的一天。你想让这一天依旧平淡吗？问问自己：“如果今天是我生命的最后一天，我会做什么？”我想你的答案会是：“我想让它成为我一生中最美好的一天。”
　　i don’t want to upset you, but nobody can ever find out what day is going to be the last. and so it’s better to live each day of your life as if it is the last. i’m not telling you to quit your job and spend all you money on traveling. but you can live your life to its fullest by adding some simple things to each day. it doesn’t matter what is going on, but it does matter how you feel about it. do not forget that life is too short to be unhappy! here is my recipe for the best day on earth!

　　我并非想让你心烦，但是没有人知道哪一天会是自己生命的最后一天。所以，我们最好把每天都当作生命中的最后一天来过。我并非要让你辞掉工作，将所有积蓄用于旅行。不过，只要在每天的生活中添加些许简单的原料，你就可以尽情地享受生活。发生什么并不重要，重要的是你对此的感受。切记人生短暂，毋须伤怀！ 以下就是我创造地球最美好一日的秘诀！
