英语美文:生命中什么最重要?

作者:stephen    文章来源:方向标英语网    点击数:    更新时间:2010-3-18 【我来说两句】

生命中到底什么最重要?是金钱,是地位,是名誉,是你远大的志向,还是对家人的关爱?
      
Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
     
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
     
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.
     
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
     
It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived.
     
It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant.
     
So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?
     
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.
     
What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
     
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
     
What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
     
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.
     
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you.
     
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.
     
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
     
It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
     
Choose to live a life that matters.
