“If I died today, how would I feel about my life?”Life is fragile.
“如果我今天死去，我將如何看待自己的一生？”——生命是極其脆弱的。
A good friend of mine called me today and shared that his girlfriend’s brother passed away last night. He was married, with two young children. He died of a massive heart attack in the middle of the night. And he was only 44 years old.
就在今天，一位好友給我打了電話。他告知我，就在昨天晚上他女朋友的哥哥離開了人世。他已經(jīng)結(jié)了婚，并且有了兩個孩子。就在昨晚半夜的時候，心臟病奪走了他的生命。他才剛滿44歲！
"It could never happen to me," we think. "I’m too young to die." But how young is "too young to die?"
我們總會想：“這樣的事情絕對不會發(fā)生在我的身上，我現(xiàn)在還很年輕，我還不能死去。”可是，要多年輕呢？
We really don’t know how many days or years we will live. An accident, such as by plane, automobile, or other mishap could claim our life. Or perhaps, an unusual illness. Or a vital organ could fail.
生命還將繼續(xù)多久，我們無從知曉。空難、車禍、不治之癥、身體器官出現(xiàn)嚴重問題……任何的不測都可能奪走我們的生命。
So what would we say, if our life were to end today? Would we be satisfied? Would we know that we had lived our life fully, on purpose? Could we feel we "did it right"?
那么，如果今天生命就走到了盡頭，我們會對自己說些什么呢？我很滿足？我的生活過得很充實，很有意義？我這樣做是正確的？
It is a hard question to answer. I recently had a cousin pass away from cancer. I don’t know how she would have answered this question. But I’m 99% positive she wasn’t "ready" to go. Not with two little ones and a loving husband and so much life ahead of her (she was 35 years old).
這是一個很難回答的問題。就在不久前，癌癥奪走了我堂姐年輕的生命。我不知道那一個時刻她是怎么回答這個問題的。但是，我絕對相信，她不想走，不想離開。她有兩個孩子，她有一個很愛很愛她的丈夫，還有很多的美好在等著她，然而……（她才35歲而已）。
If we live our life completely every day, we still may not be thrilled with the thought of death.
即使我們每天都過得很充實，過得很圓滿，當(dāng)想到死亡的時候也絕不可能會激動不已。
Are there things we can be doing better? Are there people we can love better? Can we live our aspirations, today? If we know the answer, what are we waiting for to make us do it? Death? Life is fragile. Now is the time to live fully and bless those friends and family who grace us with their love.
還有我們能做得更好的事情嗎？還有需要我們用愛去呵護的人嗎？能實現(xiàn)自己的報復(fù)嗎？如果知道答案，那還等什么？努力去做便可！死亡？生命是脆弱的。現(xiàn)在，就讓我們認真的活著，為那些給予我們愛的親人和朋友祈福，愿他們健康長壽！
