一日一生 (One-Day Life)


生命是神奇的,却又一点也不神奇。

生命好比一颗铁螺栓,铁螺栓的一生从制作,服务直到腐蚀被更换的过程,就像我们的一生可以分成学习阶段,服务或工作阶段,以及退休阶段直到终老。

也许我们能活到七十,八十或九十岁。许多人一生奋斗储蓄,退休后却顽疾缠身,没能如愿享受退休后的生活。有些人如愿储到可观积蓄,快活旅游享受了一段日子,却又顿觉人生失去目标而郁郁寡欢。

几天前收到友人一封电邮,提到一日一生的观念。这概念说到没人能知晓自己能活到几岁,因此建议把每一天都当成一生来生活,每一天都要学习新事物,每一天也要服务社会做些有意义的事,每一天也留点时间享乐。 这样,就算明天就走也不会有太大遗憾。


Life is a miracle, yet it is so ordinary and fragile.

Life is just like a set of bolt and nut. The lifespan of a pair of bolt and may be a few weeks, a few months or a few years depending on the environment. Likewise, our life expectancy may be seventy, eighty or ninety years depending on our lifestyle and other factors.

I read an article a few days ago, in the article the writer suggests that we should live each day as though we only have a days’ life. Hence every day we should spend some time acquiring new knowledge, spend some time contributing to the society and also set aside some time for things that we love to do.

This concept of living our life seems to make sense, let’s share it with our friends…
