雙語：創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.”
一個普通的早晨，你開始了普通的一天。你想讓這一天依舊平淡嗎？問問自己：“如果今天是我生命的最后一天，我會做什么？”我想你的答案會是：“我想讓它成為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!
我并非想讓你心煩，但是沒有人知道哪一天會是自己生命的最后一天。所以，我們最好把每天都當作生命中的最后一天來過。我并非要讓你辭掉工作，將所有積蓄用于旅行。不過，只要在每天的生活中添加些許簡單的原料，你就可以盡情地享受生活。發生什么并不重要，重要的是你對此的感受。切記人生短暫，毋須傷懷！ 以下就是我創造地球最美好一日的秘訣！
1. a handful of happiness
1. 一點快樂where can you find it? take a look inside of you! happiness doesn’t come from the outside, it is within you. each moment your life gives you a lot of opportunities to be happy. if you want to see them, you will. if you don’t, it’s up to you.
從哪里能找到快樂？問問你的內心！快樂不是外界給予的，而是來自內心。生活每時每刻都在為你提供各種快樂的機會。如果你想看到這些機會，你就能發現它們。如果不想，就取決于你自己了。
2. a handful of love
2. 一絲愛意
love is the harmony of your soul. a little love can make a big difference to the whole world. we are one. everyone and everything deserve your love as well as you do.
愛是靈魂的和諧之聲。一點點的愛意能為整個世界帶來巨大的變化。四海之內皆兄弟。每個人、每件事都和你自己一樣值得你去愛。
“you can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. you yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” — buddha
“你可在世間尋覓比你自己更值得你去愛惜的人。不過，你在任何地方都找不到。你和世間的所有其他人都值得你去愛惜。”——佛陀
3. a handful of gratitude
3. 些許感激
gratitude is one of the strongest positive feelings. we all have something to be grateful for. if you are grateful for everything that you have, you will get more things to feel gratitude for. and this feeling makes you feel good.
感激之情是最強烈的積極情感之一。總有一些人或事值得我們感謝。如果你感恩于自己現在所擁有的一切，那么你將會對更多的事物充滿感激之情，而這種感覺會讓你心情愉快。
“let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.” — buddha
“讓我們都有顆感恩的心。即使我們今天沒有學到很多東西，至少我們學了一些；即使我們什么也沒學到，至少我們身體健康；即使我們疾病纏身，至少我們依然活著。因此，讓我們都有顆感恩的心吧。”——佛陀
