But the fact is, within the next 70 or 80 years depending on how old you are and how long you last we are all going to be either coffin dwellers or trampled ash in the rose garden of some local ceme

3、tery. We may not even last that long. After all, we never quite know when the hooded, scythe-carrying, bringer-of-the-last-breath might come-a-calling. It couldbe sooner than wed like.

Make sure that you go back home knackered because you got so much done.8 If you dont want to be a postman then dont bea postm

14、s minute, while the inspiration is high. We all have the same amount of minutes, we all get the same 24 hours as Branson and Gates. Its just what we do with our time, how we invest it, that determines where our lives may lead.Text 10 So what Im thinking is (and this is not molecular science) if we a

15、re dying and our allotted time is finite, why the hell arent we doing all the things we want to do NOW? Whats all this back-burner stuff? And why are we all waiting for the right time when we already know that the right time isnt going to show? The right time is the cheque thats permanently in the p

Text 我們都在走向死亡1 我給你帶來一條好消息， 還有一條壞消息（正如笑話所說的） 。 壞消息是：我們都在走向死亡很抱歉是我?guī)砹诉@條壞消息。這可是真的，我已經(jīng)核實(shí)過了，事實(shí)上我已經(jīng)三番五次地核實(shí)過了。我也找到了證據(jù)，可是要說出這個(gè)事實(shí)實(shí)在是不容易，不過我們的確都在走向死亡。Text 這件事

19、我過去多少知道一點(diǎn)，但不愿過多地去想它。但事實(shí)是，再過70年或80年這要取決于你現(xiàn)在年齡有多大，壽命有多長我們都會(huì)躺到棺材里，或者變成某個(gè)地方公墓玫瑰園里的灰塵，被人踐踏。我們甚至活不到這么老。畢竟，我們從來就不清楚那位戴著頭巾、手持長柄鐮刀、命人吐出最后一口氣的死神什么時(shí)候會(huì)來召喚我們，有可能會(huì)比我們希望的要早。其實(shí)我最近就曾經(jīng)從局外人的角度觀察過死亡，沒有什么比朋友的早逝更能表明人生的無常和生命的脆弱了。Text 2 真可怕。3 我已經(jīng)讓你夠沮喪的了，現(xiàn)在告訴你那條好消息吧：知道了我們都在走向墳?zāi)?，我們就不再有人生無常的感覺了。我們已經(jīng)知道故事的結(jié)局，開場白和尾聲也都確定了，剩下的就是介于

20、兩者之間的那些事兒了，這些事是我們作得了主的。我們必須挑選故事情節(jié)。Text 4 所以，那些被你擱置在一邊的計(jì)劃，即那些“當(dāng)時(shí)機(jī)成熟時(shí)”你會(huì)用生命來完成的偉大事業(yè)怎么辦呢？可我發(fā)現(xiàn)時(shí)機(jī)永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)有成熟的時(shí)候。時(shí)間必須提前，必須馬上行動(dòng)，就在這一刻，不能拖延，必須趕緊，而且越快越好。不管是你想寫的小說，還是你一直在籌劃的去大峽谷的旅行，你心儀的工作，你想導(dǎo)演的倫敦西區(qū)話劇，你都必須現(xiàn)在就去做。知道嗎？我們都在走向死亡。這是已經(jīng)定了的。Text 5 因此，把自己的夢想擱置起來，等到時(shí)機(jī)成熟之后才開始實(shí)現(xiàn)它，這就意味著夢想可能永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)實(shí)現(xiàn)。人生的遺憾莫過于還有事情沒有做， 我們有必要現(xiàn)在就去做這些事

21、， 不然就晚了。明天行嗎？明天只是個(gè)謊言；根本就沒有什么明天，只有一張我們常常無法兌現(xiàn)的期票。明天甚至壓根兒就不存在。你早上醒來時(shí)又是另一個(gè)今天了，同樣的規(guī)則又可以全部套用。Text 明天只是現(xiàn)在的另一種說法，是一塊空地，除非我們開始在那里播種，否則它永遠(yuǎn)都是空地。你的時(shí)間會(huì)流逝（時(shí)間就在我們說話的當(dāng)下嘀嗒嘀嗒地走著，每分鐘順時(shí)針走60秒，如果你不能很好地利用它，它會(huì)走得更快些），而你沒有取得任何成就來證明它的存在，唯獨(dú)留下遺憾，留下一面后視鏡，上面寫滿了“本可以做”、“本應(yīng)該做”、“本來會(huì)做”的事情。Text 6 你是否注意過，自助餐館里服務(wù)員會(huì)給你一個(gè)茶杯碟大小的碗，并告訴你：“你想盛多少

22、沙拉都可以，但只能盛一次”？生活就像那只盛沙拉的碗，我們可以和那些饑腸轆轆等著主菜的人一樣在那只小碗里裝上盡可能多的沙拉。我喜歡看人們巧妙地把黃瓜片插在沙拉碗的四周就像往廢料桶里堆東西那樣把沙拉堆得老高老高，最后不得不雇個(gè)叉車把沙拉拉回餐桌。他們不是貪婪，而是明白自己只有一次機(jī)會(huì)。Text 7 把你的碗盛滿吧，我們在這個(gè)世上只走一遭，既然來了就好好利用這短暫的一生，就像我們牢牢抓住一年一度去佛羅里達(dá)或西班牙度假的機(jī)會(huì)那樣。在短暫的人生中填入盡可能多的內(nèi)容吧。確保每天回家后你都會(huì)因?yàn)楦闪撕芏嗍露械骄ＡΡM。8 如果你不想當(dāng)郵遞員就別當(dāng)郵遞員，放棄這份工作去當(dāng)個(gè)畫家、作家、滑雪運(yùn)動(dòng)員，干什么都行

23、。千萬不要干自己明明就不喜歡的事情。Text 9 現(xiàn)在就開始行動(dòng)吧，不要等到明天。沒有比現(xiàn)在更好的時(shí)間了。如果在這一刻你不能得到你想得到的東西，你至少可以趁靈感還在的時(shí)候馬上開始你的旅程，即刻起程。我們有同樣多的時(shí)間，我們和布蘭森以及蓋茨一樣，每天都有24個(gè)小時(shí)。決定我們這一生成敗的是我們把時(shí)間花在什么事情上，是我們?nèi)绾蝸矸峙鋾r(shí)間。 Text 10 因此，我正在琢磨的是（這可不是分子科學(xué)） ：如果我們正在走向死亡，而且分配給我們的時(shí)間是有限的，那么我們到底有什么理由不現(xiàn)在就去做所有想做的事情呢？這些被暫時(shí)擱置的事情到底又是什么呢？為什么明明知道成熟的時(shí)機(jī)永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)到來，而我們卻都還在等待呢？成熟

24、的時(shí)機(jī)是一張支票，它永遠(yuǎn)都在郵寄的路上，永遠(yuǎn)都不會(huì)到來。它就是那讓我們在合作社旁邊像橋墩那樣站著傻等的女孩，我們再怎么看表也無濟(jì)于事，她失約了。Text 11 我們傻等著，而成熟的時(shí)機(jī)卻永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)到來。12 所以我要說，別再等待了，走到路上去迎接天意。開始給你的生活增添所有你能得到的財(cái)富，這樣當(dāng)死神到來時(shí)，你已經(jīng)完成了那么多事，你的一生是那么的充實(shí)。當(dāng)生命在你眼前回放時(shí)，死神等著等著就睡著了。 Text 13 現(xiàn)在就行動(dòng)吧，不然你的時(shí)間會(huì)流逝的，而你最終將成為塵封的相冊里的一位誰都叫不上名字的灰頭土臉的窮親戚。 14 還是給人間留下一本像大煎蛋餅?zāi)敲春竦膫饔洶?，那可比僅僅留下一塊碑銘強(qiáng)。 15
