Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.
死亡之所以紧紧跟随生命，不是因为生物学的必然性，而是因为嫉妒。生命如此美丽，以至于死亡爱上了它，这是一种嫉妒的、占有欲强烈的爱，它会抓住它能抓住的一切。
Open your eyes, look within. Are you satisfied with the life you're living?
The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.
