An elderly carpenter was ready to retire. He told his employer of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his wife enjoying his extended family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They could get by.
The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.
When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to inspect the house and handed the front-door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."
What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.
So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted way, reacting rather than acting, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized, we would have done it differently.
Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived graciously and with dignity. The plaque on the wall says, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Who could say it more clearly? Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a vegetable, I decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it slipped from my hands and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles, rolled everywhere. I tried to use a broom, but with each swipe the peas rolled across the kitchen, bounced off the wall on the other side and rolled in another direction.
My mental state at the time was fragile. Losing a spouse is an unbearable pain. I got on my hands and knees and pulled them into a pile to dispose of. I was half laughing and half crying as I collected them. I could see the humor in what happened, but it doesn't take much for a person dealing with grief to break down.
For the next week, every time I was in the kitchen, I would find a pea that had escaped my first cleanup. In a corner, behind a table leg, in the frays at the end of a mat, or hidden under a heater, they kept turning up. Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean, and found a dozen or so petrified peas hidden underneath.
At the time I found those few remaining peas, I was in a new relationship with a wonderful woman I met in a widow/widower support group. After we married, I was reminded of those peas under the refrigerator. I realized my life had been like that bag of frozen peas. It shattered. My wife was gone. I was in a new city with a busy job and a son having trouble adjusting to his new surroundings and the loss of his mother. I was a wreck. I was a bag of spilled, frozen peas. My life had come apart and scattered.
When life gets you down; when everything you know comes apart; when you think you can never get through the tough times, remember, it is just a bag of scattered, frozen peas. The peas can be collected and life will move on. You will find all the peas. First the easy peas come together in a pile. You pick them up and start to move on. Later, you find the smaller, harder-to-find peas. When you pull all the peas together, life will be whole again.
The life you know can be scattered at any time. You will move on, but how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom, or will you pick them up one-by-one and put your life back together?
How will you collect your peas?

I teach economics at unlv three times per week. last monday, at the beginning of class, i cheerfully asked my students how their weekend had been. one young man said that his weekend had not been so good. he had his wisdom teeth removed. the young man then proceeded to ask me why i always seemed to be so cheerful.
His question reminded me of something i’d read somewhere before: "every morning when you get up, you have a choice about how you want to approach life that day," i said. "i choose to be cheerful."
"Let me give you an example," i continued, addressing all sixty students in the class. "in addition to teaching here at unlv, i also teach out at the community college in henderson, 17 miles down the freeway from where i live. one day a few weeks ago i drove those 17 miles to henderson. i exited the freeway and turned onto college drive. i only had to drive another quarter mile down the road to the college. but just then my car died. i tried to start it again, but the engine wouldn’t turn over. so i put my flashers on, grabbed my books, and marched down the road to the college."
"As soon as i got there i called aaa and arranged for a tow truck to meet me at my car after class. the secretary in the provost’s office asked me what has happened. ’this is my lucky day,’ i replied, smiling."
" ’Your car breaks down and today is your lucky day?’ she was puzzled. ’what do you mean?’"
" ’I live 17 miles from here.’ i replied. ’my car could have broken down anywhere along the freeway. it didn’t. instead, it broke down in the perfect place: off the freeway, within walking distance of here. i’m still able to teach my class, and i’ve been able to arrange for the tow truck to meet me after class. if my car was meant to break down today, it couldn’t have been arranged in a more convenient fashion.’"
"The secretary’s eyes opened wide, and then she smiled. i smiled back and headed for class." so ended my story.
I scanned the sixty faces in my economics class at unlv. despite the early hour, no one seemed to be asleep. somehow, my story had touched them. or maybe it wasn’t the story at all. in fact, it had all started with a student’s observation that i was cheerful.
我每周在拉斯维加斯大学教三堂经济课。上个星期一,在上课之前,我愉快地问我的学生周末过得怎么样。一个年轻人说他的周末从来没这么好过。 他拔掉了他的智齿。然后这个年轻人又继续问我,为什么我总是看起来这么愉快。
他的问题使我想起了我以前在什么地方看到过的一些东西:“每天早晨当你醒来,你就有权利选择想要怎样度过这一天,”我说,“我选择快乐地过。”
“让我给你举一个例子,”我在全班60个学生面前接着说道,“除了在拉斯维加斯大学教课,我也在亨德森社会学院教课,从我住的地方到那儿走高速公路有17英里。几周前的一天我开了17英里的车去亨德森。我出高速公路以后转到学院路。我只要沿着这条路再开四分之一英里就到学校了。但是就在那时我的车坏了。我又试着发动了一次,但是引擎根本转不起来。所以我只好打开闪光灯,拿起我的书,沿着路往下走去学校。”
“我一到学校就啊地叫了起来,课后才安排拖车来把我和我的车拖走。院长办公室的秘书问我发生了什么事情。‘这是我幸运日’ 我笑着回答。”
“ ‘你的车都抛锚了,今天还是你的幸运日?’ 她疑惑不解,‘你是什么意思?’ ”
“ ‘我住在17英里以外’ 我回答说,‘我的车可能在高速公路的任何一处抛锚。但是它没有。而是在一个最理想的地方抛锚:下了高速公路,到这儿只有几步路远。我还能来教课,课后我还能安排拖车找到我。如果我的车今天注定要坏掉,那这样子已经被安排得不能再方便了。”
“那个秘书瞪大了眼睛,然后笑了。我也朝她笑了一下,然后去上课了。” 这就是我的故事。
我扫视了一下在拉斯维加斯大学我的经济课上的这60张脸。尽管还是一大早,却没有一个看起来有困意。不知为什么,我的故事打动了他们。或者可能不完全是因为这个故事。实际上,这一切都是从一个学生注意到我快乐开始的。

这个忙碌的社会盛行抄袭、复制,这看似最便捷的方法加快了我们的工作“效率”和行动步伐。就连个人生活也不例外,我们习惯了从他人失败或成功的经历上收获经验,祈求少走些弯路。
我们都有过这样的经历,我们的选择都没有遵照自己最感兴趣的角度出发,但却无计可施。表面上每件事情都还不错,但是内心里却翻江倒海不能平静,但同时用别的借口搪塞自己,告诫自己别去犯傻了。
然而,没有人知道哪条是正道,变或不变,只有你自己才知道原因和答案。
“Choosing is the byname of freedom. 自由别名乃选择。”
内心的需求与选择比众人习以为常的选择更趋合理。别说你没有机会或运气不够,你现在有的是热情,缺的是信念而已,冒一点点险,作些细微的改变。机会是你迈出的第一步,而运气,是后来的事情。

海伦凯勒是美国著名的女作家,享年87岁,却有86年生活在无光、无声的世界里,是传奇般的励志人生。今天读文网小编在这里为大家分享The Most Important Day in My Life英语散文,欢迎大家阅读!
Helen Keller
The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Mansfield Sullivan,came to me. I am filled with wonder when I consider the immeasurable contrasts between the two lives which it connects. It was the third of March,1887, three months before I was seven years old.
On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch,dumb, expectant. I guessed vaguely from my mother's signs and from the hurrying to and fro in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. The afternoon sun penetrated the mass of honeysuckle',event)">honeysuckle that covered the porch,and fell on my upturned face. My fingers fingered almost unconsciously on the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what the future held of marvel or surprise for me. Anger and bitterness had preyed upon me continually and a deep languor had succeeded this passionate struggle.
Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the great ship, tense and anxious,groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line, and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? I was like that ship before my education began, only l was without compass or sounding-line, and had no way of knowing how near the harbour was."Light! Give me light!"was the wordless cry of my oil,and the light of love shone on me in that very tour.
I felt approaching footsteps, I stretched out my hand as I supposed to my mother. Some one took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to reveal all things to me, and, more than all things else, to love me.
The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while,Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l”.t was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When t finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride.Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll.I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed;I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name.
One day, white I was playing with my new doll,Miss Sullivan put my big rag doll into my lap also, spelled "d-o-l-l”and tried to make me understand that "d-o-l-l”applied to both. Earlier in the day we had had a tussle over the words "m-u-g"and "w-a-t-e-r".Miss Sullivan had tried to impress it upon me that "m-u-g" is mug and that "w-a-t-e-r" is water, but I persisted in confounding the two. In despair she had dropped the subject for the time, only to renew it at the first opportunity.I became impatient at her repeated attempts and,seizing the new doll,I dashed it upon the floor. I was keenly delighted when I felt the fragments of the broken doll at my feet. Neither sorrow nor regret followed my passionate outburst. I had not loved the doll. In the still,dark world in which I lived there was no strong sentiment or tenderness. I felt my teacher sweep the fragments to one side of the hearth,and I had a sense of satisfaction that the cause of my discomfort was removed. She brought me my hat, and I knew I was going out into the warm sunshine. This thought, if a wordless sensation may be called a thought, made me hop and skip with pleasure.
We walked down the path to the well-house,attracted by the fragrance of thehoneysuckle',event)">honeysuckle with which it was covered Some one was drawing water and my teacher placed my hand under the spout. As the cool stream gushed over one hand she spelled into the other the word water, first slowly, then rapidly.I stood still,my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her fingers. Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten-a thrill of returning thought:and somehow the mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light,hope, joy, set it free! There were barriers still,it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away.
At the age of five Helen began to realize she was different from other people. She noticed that her family did not use signs like she did but talked with their mouths Sometimes she stood between two people and touched their lips. She could not understand what they said and she could not make any meaningful sounds herself. She wanted to talk but no matter how she tried she could not make herself understood. This makes her so angry that she used to hurl herself around the room, kicking and screaming in frustration.
海伦五岁时开始意识到她与别人不同。她发现家里的其他人不用像她那样做手势而是用嘴交谈。有时她站在两人中间触摸他们的嘴唇。她不知道他们在说什么,而她自己不能发出带有含义的声音。她想、讲话,可无论费多大的劲儿也无法使别人明白自己。这使她异常懊恼以至于常常在屋子里乱跑乱撞,灰心地又踢又喊。
As she got older her frustration grew and her rages became worse and worse. She became wild and unruly. If she didn't get what she wanted she would throw tantrums until her family gave in. Her favorite tricks included grabbing other people's food from their plates and hurling fragile objects to the floor. Once she even managed to lock her mother into the pantry. Eventually it became clear that something had to be done. So, just before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor -Anne Sullivan.
随着年龄的增长她的怒气越来越大。她变得狂野不驯。倘若她得不到想要的东西就会大发脾气直到家人顺从。她惯用的手段包括抓别人盘里的食物以及将易碎的东西猛扔在地。有一次她甚至将母亲锁在厨房里。这样一来就得想个办法了。于是,在她,快到七岁生日时,家里使雇了一名家庭教师——安妮·萨利文。
Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille. She also learnt to read people's lips by pressing her finger-tips against them and feeling the movement and vibrations. This method is called Tadoma and it is a skill that very, very few people manage to acquire. She also learnt to speak, a major achievement for someone who could not hear at all.
安妮悉心地教授海伦,特别是她感兴趣的东西。这样海伦变得温和了而且很快学会了用布菜叶盲文朗读和写作。靠用手指接触说话人的嘴唇去感受运动和震动,她又学会了触唇意识。这种方法被称作泰德马,是一种很少有人掌握的技能。她也学会了讲话,这对失聪的人来说是个巨大的成就。

富足是一种生活方式。它不是偶尔买来、从架子上拿下来、抹去灰尘用上一两次然后又放回到架子上的东西。
富足是一种哲学,它体现于你的生理机能和价值观之中,并带有自己的一套信仰。无论走路、睡觉、洗澡你都会感觉到它,你就要维护并照顾它。
富足并不一定需要金钱。许多人拥有金钱所能买到的一切,但却内心空虚。富足源自内心,其中包含一些重要的自我成分,比如爱、关心、善良和温柔、体贴与同情。富足是一种生存状态,它向外发散,像处于众多星球之间的太阳那样发光发亮。
来自富足的光亮不允许黑暗的出现或存在。除非选择允许它存在。真正的富足不给谎言或通常玩的游戏留有空间,因为富足已经把空间填得太满了。这可能是一个挑战,因为我们仍然需要为了让别人看见而发光。
富足是看到人们的天赋,而不是他们的缺陷。所有的事物都要看其天赋而不是缺陷。
从知道自己的富足是什么时候开始,填满空间,全身心投入生活。你的选择已经告诉了你。例如:教授能够了解队员并激发其潜力,那是他们的天赋;顾问和客服专业人事通常能够提供很多成功且很具实用性的案例;行政助理和虚拟助理熟识协调配合和时间管理的技巧。富足充盈于你的四周以及你的内心。明白富足的内容,爱本色的自己,不要为自己缺少的或是能变得更好的方面爱自己,而是为此时此刻的富足而爱自己。
要处于你已经拥有的事物的富足状态。我保证她们就在那儿,深藏不露却从未远离。将其看成空气,吸入体内,因为它们是你的。放开暂时并不富足的东西。把你富足的所有天赋写在橱柜里的鞋盒子上,如果需要就每天早上拉开橱柜,知道你的天赋都在那儿。
你需要学会信任自己的富足。当你开始处于自己富足的空间之内时,你所需要的东西都会在你需要是出现。这就是更高的力量设置这个宇宙运转的方式。要相信宇宙的能量。知道这一点会让你在其力量面前保持谦卑,但也会让你的光亮闪耀在所有需要的地方。只有处于富足的状态,就是做你自己。

My Mother Is My Life Line
© Jessica styles
My mother is my lifeline, she is my complete savior,
She does everything she can for me, and for that I praise her,
She went without when I was younger so I could have nice stuff,
She worked herself to the bone, but never did she give up.
My mother is my lifeline, she is truly my best friend,
she help me through the good and bad, she stayed there till the end,
she pick me up when I was down and wiped the tears away,
she will be there when I need her every night and everyday.
My mother is my lifeline, she's completely a shining star,
she has never made me feel alone, no distance is too far,
she’ll travel to the moon and back, if I ask her to.
My mother is my lifeline, this poem I wrote for you.
《My mother is my lifeline母亲是我的生命线》献给母亲的诗歌,作者以此表达对母亲的爱,以及母亲之于作者的意义,

Jason Mraz:Everything Is Sound 歌词
Jason Mraz 最新专辑 4집 Love Is A Four Letter Word
When there is love, I can't wait to talk about it
When things get rough, I like to walk with you
Or when it's night, I like to be the light that's missing
And remind you every minute of the future isn't written
Not yet
When there is love, or when the heart feels heavy
We can lighten it up, if you've had enough
Well you can empty your glass and we can fill it back up
You know it's up to us to make it all up
So what you making up? I can make it up back
You could be loved no matter what
And know the only time is right now, it's right where... where you are
You don't need a vacation when there's nothing to escape from
Singing
La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Laying it down
Everything is sound
Let's sing to be happy, to feel things, to communicate, and be heard
Or sing out to protest, and to project, and to harmonize with birds
Whether it's your birthday or your dying day
It's a celebration too www.ryedu.net
Rejoice to use your voice and give wings to any of choice
Whatever you're choosing right now, it's right where... where you are
You don't need a vacation when there's nothing to escape from
Set your vibration and undulation to the hightest it can go
And trust me, hear me
If it makes you wanna sing
Just sing it
La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Laying it down
Everything is sound
La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Hallelujah
It's a song that I've forgotten often
It doesn't make me wrong
Cause we all need the darkness, to see the light
In our own eyes, come on, and sing it
La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Laying it down
Everything is sound
La la la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Hallelujah
We're connected now
La la la la
Let's all sing
Hallelujah
Everything is sound
La la la
Let's all sing
La la la la
Hallelujah
We're connected now

The Afters - Life is Beautiful
Lyrics:
Through the window
I see you waiting
You are smiling
Cause I'm coming
Your eyes are a story
An ocean of memories
Pictures of faces and places
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all
All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Living and dying
Laughing or crying
If we have the whole world or have nothing
I know there are long nights
But we'll make it
With every sunrise comes a new light
And all of the things
That make us feel like we have it all
All of the times
That make us realize
We have it all
We have it all
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
A father's love
A wedding dance
New Year's dreams
A toast with friends
A soldier coming home from war
The faith the hope of so much more
A brand new life, a mother's prayer
Shooting stars, ocean air
A lover's kiss, and hard goodbyes
Fireworks, Christmas lights
These are things that make us feel alive
These are the times that make us realize
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
Life is beautiful
These are the times that make us realize

以下是小编整理的情感类英语美文欣赏:Everyday is a gift, 希望对你有所感触。
My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of mysister’s bureau and lifted out a tissue-wrappedpackage. "This," he said, "is not a slip(纸片). Thisis lingerie(女士内衣)." He discarded the tissue andhanded me the slip. It was exquisite(精致的); silk,handmade and trimmed with a cobweb (蜘蛛网,蛛丝)of lace(花边). The price tag with anastronomical figure on it was still attached. "Janbought this the first time we went to New York, atleast 8 or 9 years ago. She never wore it. She wassaving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this isthe occasion." He took the slip from me and put it on the bed with the other clothes we weretaking to the mortician(殡葬员). His hands lingered on the soft material for a moment, then heslammed the drawer shut and turned to me. "Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion.Every day you’re alive is a special occasion."
I remembered those words through the funeral and the days that followed when I helpedhim and my niece attend to all the sad chores (琐事)that follow an unexpected death. Ithought about them on the plane returning to California from the Midwestern town where mysister’s family lives. I thought about all the things that she hadn’t seen or heard or done. Ithought about the things that she had done without realizing that they were special.
I’m still thinking about his words, and they’ve changed my life. I’m reading more anddusting less. I’m sitting on the deck and admiring the view without fussing about the weeds inthe garden. I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committeemeetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to savor(使有风味,尽情享受), not endure. I’m trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them.
I’m not "saving" anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special event-suchas losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, the first camellia (茶花)blossom. I wear mygood blazer (颜色鲜明的运动夹克)to the market if I feel like it. My theory is if I look prosperous,I can shell out (交付,支付)$28.49 for one small bag of groceries without wincing(畏缩). I’mnot saving my good perfume for special parties; clerks in hardware stores and tellers in bankshave noses that function as well as my party-going friends’.
"Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their grip on my vocabulary. If it’s worthseeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I’m not sure what my sisterwould have done had she known that she wouldn’t be here for the tomorrow we all take forgranted. I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might havecalled a few former friends to apologize and mend fences for past squabbles. I like to think shewould have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food. I’m guessing--I’ll never know.
It’s those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew that my hours werelimited. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with-someday. Angry because I hadn’t written certain letters that I intended to write--one of thesedays. Angry and sorry that I didn’t tell my husband and daughter often enough how much Itruly love them.
I’m trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter andluster to our lives.
And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that it is special. Every day, everyminute, every breath truly is ... a gift from God.

以下是小编整理的情感类英语美文欣赏:Don't Miss Out on Life,希望对你有所感触。
It takes only a minute to get crush on someone, anhour to like someone, and a day to love someone.But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go forwealth; even that fades away. Go for someone whomakes you smile. Because it only takes a smile tomake a dark day seem bright. Find the one thatmakes your heart smile.
Maybe we meet a few wrong people before meetingthe right one so that when we finally meet the rightperson. We will know how to be grateful for that gift.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don'tknow what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love will not provide assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expectlove in return; Just wait for it to grow in their hearts. But if it doesn't, be content. It grew inyours.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick themfrom your dreams and hug them for real!
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enoughsorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most ofeverything that comes along their way.
Happiness are for those who cry, those who have searched, and those who have tried becauseonly they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

I’m trying to recognize these moments now and cherish them.
I’m not "saving" anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special event-suchas losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, the first camellia (茶花)blossom. I wear mygood blazer (颜色鲜明的运动夹克)to the market if I feel like it. My theory is if I look prosperous,I can shell out (交付,支付)$28.49 for one small bag of groceries without wincing(畏缩). I’mnot saving my good perfume for special parties; clerks in hardware stores and tellers in bankshave noses that function as well as my party-going friends’.
"Someday" and "one of these days" are losing their grip on my vocabulary. If it’s worthseeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now. I’m not sure what my sisterwould have done had she known that she wouldn’t be here for the tomorrow we all take forgranted. I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might havecalled a few former friends to apologize and mend fences for past squabbles. I like to think shewould have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food. I’m guessing--I’ll never know.
It’s those little things left undone that would make me angry if I knew that my hours werelimited. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with-someday. Angry because I hadn’t written certain letters that I intended to write--one of thesedays. Angry and sorry that I didn’t tell my husband and daughter often enough how much Itruly love them.
I’m trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter andluster to our lives.
And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that it is special. Every day, everyminute, every breath truly is ... a gift from God.

下面是读文网小编整理的英语美文:Don't Miss Out on Life,欢迎大家阅读!
It takes only a minute to get crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to lovesomeone. But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go forsomeone who makes you smile. Because it only takes a smile to make a dark day seem bright.Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Maybe we meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meetthe right person. We will know how to be grateful for that gift.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don'tknow what we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love will not provide assurance that they'll love you back. Don't expectlove in return; Just wait for it to grow in their hearts. But if it doesn't, be content. It grew inyours.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick themfrom your dreams and hug them for real!
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enoughsorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the most ofeverything that comes along their way.
Happiness are for those who cry, those who have searched, and those who have tried becauseonly they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
