英语美文欣赏：人生莫待绽放

 　　"There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept responsibility for changing them."—Denis Waitley

　　人生有两大选择：要么接受现实，要么接受改变现状的责任。——丹尼斯·魏特利

　　Many people are constantly waiting for their life to start. They always say, "When I'm older I'll do this." or "In a few years I'll do that." They think the life they are experiencing is boring and meaningless. Who has never viewed himself/herself as worthless and unattractive?

　　很多人都在等待自己生命的新起点，总说“等我长大一点，我会做这个”，又或者“几年后，我要做那个”。他们觉得现在的生活很乏味无趣。谁没有试想自己是毫无价值、毫无吸引力的人？

　　英语美文

　　Just think like this way:

　　This too shall pass.

　　不应再自怨自艾，而要切切实实地谋求改变。能有一个爱护和支持自己的家庭，我已经是世上非常幸运的人了。

　　I had to be the one to make the decision to change my way of thinking.

　　只有我可以决定自己想法的转变。

　　All the good things and all the wonderful people in my life would pass eventually too. While I am feeling miserable³, my life is still going on and I am missing out on appreciating those precious moments.
