作者: Regina Brett,90歲,來自俄亥俄州,克里夫蘭,Plain Dealer城 "To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written.My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 人生是不公平,但還是好得很。
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 懷疑的時候,為未來踏出一小步。
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 人生太短,短到來不及浪費時間去恨任何一個人。
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch. 生病的時候,你的工作不會照顧妳。你的朋友和父母會。保持聯絡。
5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 每一個月付清你的信用卡。
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 你不需要每一次都吵贏。同意你不同意的。
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. 找人一起哭。它比獨自啜泣更加療愈。
8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it. 對上帝生氣沒有關係。祂受得了。
9. Save for retirement starting with your first pay check. 退休存款從你的第一張薪水條開始。
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. 講到巧克力,抗拒只是徒勞無功。
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present. 和你的過去和解,所以它不會搞砸你的當下。
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry. 讓你的孩子看到你哭沒有關係。
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 別拿自己的人生和他人做比較。你根本不清楚他們的人生 是怎麼一回事。
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it. 如果一段親密關係要偷偷摸摸,你根本不應該涉入。
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks. 一眨眼的功夫什麼都會變。但是別擔心:上帝從來不眨眼。
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. 深吸一口氣。它會安定你的腦。
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. 沒用,不美,或不喜悅的東西都丟掉。
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger. 沒讓你死的真的會讓你更堅強。
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else. 重拾快樂童年永不嫌晚。但這第二次只能靠你不靠人。
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer. 當關乎追求你生命的所愛,不要把不要當答案。
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special. 點蠟燭,用好的床單,穿上炫麗的內衣。不要特殊場合才用。今 天就是特別的一天。
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow. 準備要過於周全,然後隨遇而安。
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple. 現在就離經叛道。不要一把年紀了才開始穿上紫色。
24. The most important sex organ is the brain. 最重要的性器官是腦袋。
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you. 除了你,沒有人在主宰你的快樂。
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?' 把所謂的不幸用這一句話把它表框起來 "五年後,這還重要嗎?"
27. Always choose life. 永遠選擇生活。
28. Forgive everyone everything. 原諒每一個人每一件事。
29. What other people think of you is none of your business. 別人怎麼看你不干你的事。
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time. 時間會痊癒幾乎每一件事。要給時間,時間。 31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. 無論情況多好或多壞,它都會變的。
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 不要那麼認真的看待自己。沒有人會這樣看待你的。
33. Believe in miracles. 相信奇蹟。
34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do. 上帝愛你是因為祂就是這樣,不是因為你做了什麼或是沒 做什麼。
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now. 不要稽查人生。現在就呈現和做最大的發揮。
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young. 變老了打敗另一種選項 - 死得早。
37. Your children get only one childhood. 你的孩子只有一個童年。
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved. 最後真正最重要的是你愛過。
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere. 每一天都出門。奇蹟在四處等著。
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back. 如果我們都把我們的問題都丟成一堆,然後看看其他人的,我們會把我們的撿回來。 41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. 忌妒浪費時間。你已經擁有你所需要的了。
42. The best is yet to come. 最好的都還沒來。
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. 不管你感覺如何,起來,穿好和呈現。
44. Yield. 讓自己每天快樂。
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift." 人生不會打上蝴蝶結,但它仍然是一份禮物。
Its estimated 93% won't forward this. If you are one of the 7% who will, forward this with the title '7%'. I'm in the 7%. Remember that I will always share my spoon with you! 據估計,93%的人不會將這一個郵件轉寄。如果你是那7%會的人,請用'7%'作標題,將它轉寄出去。
Another little tidbit that's new to me.
Always knew to drink a lot of water, but who knew the timing affected things.
Drinking water at the correct time maximizes its effectiveness on the Human body:
2 glasses of water after waking up helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack
我想我也就是如此。。呵呵~
不,应该是说我在姐妹的印象吧?上星期参加了朋友的婚宴,做了一个举动竟然让我的姐妹们,特别是狒狒深感惊讶~~哈哈。。。狒狒的惊讶程度才真的让我惊讶。。。甚至还在msn聊天室说:'why u so brave one?','這樣子妳就沒有market了啦','very very very shock lah'........ 可爱啊~~~ 但很感谢狒狒对我的信任。。。 在此特要跟狒狒说:放心,我绝对不是个随便的人~ 所以我绝对还是有我的价值的存在。。。。 而我这个价值到现在还等待适合的人来认领并购买。。所以请容许我偶尔还是会做些令你惊讶的行为来填补一时的兴起。。放心,对象绝对是有留给我好印象的人。。。而不是阿狗阿猫。。。哈哈哈哈。。。

Translation
There’s no one like you, even if I look around it’s just like that
Where else to look for? A person good like you, a person good like you, a heart good like you, a gift good like you
How lucky, the person who will try hard to protect you is just me
Where else to look for? A guy happy like me, a guy happy like me, a guy who laughs with the greatest happiness like me
Your two warm hands get cold when I’m cold, your heart which used to be strong gets sensitive when I’m hurt
To silently take my hands, to silently hold me, I only wish for those small comforts
You don’t know this heart of mine, which always wants to do more for you
My heart, say it out loud, my free soul
The days left are even more than the time when I came love you with a heart which always felt like the first time
*There’s no one like you, even if I look around it’s just like that
Where else to look for? A person good like you, a person good like you, a heart good like you, a gift good like you
How lucky, the person who will try hard to protect you is just me
Where else to look for? A guy happy like me, a guy happy like me, a guy who laughs with the greatest happiness like me
When my greedy heart gradually looks to other directions, when my greeds grow more than my mind can handle
To understand, to tell me clearly after all those excuses “I’m here”, only that one thing
I’m always thankful. Will I ever act that well just like you
My heart, say it out loud, my free soul
The days left are even more than the time when I came love you with a heart which always felt like the first time
*There’s no one like you, even if I look around it’s just like that
Where else to look for? A person good like you, a person good like you, a heart good like you, a gift good like you
How lucky, the person who will try hard to protect you is just me
Where else to look for? A guy happy like me, a guy happy like me, a guy who laughs with the greatest happiness like me
Rap> You know what, little much little even though I’m shy, you don’t know it but you’re burning like the sun, please understand my heart
Even though those girls appearing on TV shows are sparkling, I always look at you (I’m crazy crazy Baby)
Hearing you tell me “I love you”, I have everything in this world You & I, You’re so fine, Is there even anyone like you?
I love you Oh, please know it, that to me there’s only you, that I foolishly see you as my everything
We came on the same road, we are just like each other, how surprising, how thankful, it’s just love
*There’s no one like you, even if I look around it’s just like that
Where else to look for? A person good like you, a person good like you, a heart good like you, a gift good like you
How lucky, the person who will try hard to protect you is just me
Where else to look for? A guy happy like me, a guy happy like me, a guy who laughs with the greatest happiness like me
There’s no one like you
