人就这么一辈子
Each has a one-off lifetime
Each has a one-off lifetime―that's an adage often referred to by me as admonition to myself and advice to others. It sounds easy and simple but carries weight when one considers it seriously. It is able to turn me from cowardice to courage, from arrogance to modesty, from depression to activeness, and from sorrow to joy. It provides me with such flexibility to deal with all sort of things that I regard it as a maxim, a sharp warning to sober me up.
A person can only live once. What he does in his lifetime isn't brought about by his birth, nor carried away by his death. His life is as short as four seasons: sprouting in spring ,thriving in summer, harvesting in autumn and storing in winter. When I have labored under worldly affairs I'll remind myself of the adage and feel deeply struck by the fleeting of time and changing scenes of nature. I'll put aside the mundane things at hand and care less about the current strife and competition. To my mind all troubles and worries, odd scores and personal feelings, all that seem irresolvable of unacceptable would disappear after the short span of scores of years. If that's the case, what's there that cannot be solved?
A person has only this life to live. You can actively make as much use of it as possible or face it with a detached state of mind. When you take things too hard and become unhappy, think of the adage and you'll be relieved. When you are in low spirits, thing of it to cheer up. When you can enraged, think of it to calm down. When you are dissatisfied, think of it to acquire a grateful feeling. After all you've got your chance to live your life, you're lucky enough. Surely you won't waste this precious chance to lead your life in vain.
