Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime. 只为今天,我将尽力只度过今天,而不立刻去解决终身的问题。对一件令我沮丧而又必须坚持一辈子的事,我只能坚持十二个小时。 Just for today I will adjust myself to what it is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my 'luck' as it comes. 只为今天,我会做自我调整适应事物本来的面目,而不是想方设法使每一件事满足自己的欲望。当“幸运”来临的时候我会抓住它。 Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. 只为今天,我会尽力心强志坚。我会学习,学一些有用的东西。我不会做一个精神上的流浪汉。我会读一些需要努力、思考和注意力集中的东西。 Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don't want to do—just for exercise. 只为今天,我会用三种方法来磨炼我的灵魂。我会做对某人有利的事,但不能被发现,若有人发现了就不算数。我将会做至少两件我不愿做的事情——只为了磨练。 Just for today I will have a program, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision. 只为今天,我会制定一个计划,我也许不会严格地遵守它,但我一定要有计划。我会避免两种错误:仓促行事和优柔寡断。 Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life. 只为今天,我将会独自静静地待上半小时放松。在这半小时里,某个时刻,我会对我的生活有个更好的看法。 Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me. 只为今天,我将不再害怕。尤其我不会再害怕享受美丽的事物,并且相信我给予世界的,世界也会给予我。 |
