一切就为了今天 Just for Today
佚名/Anonymous
Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that“Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my“luck”as it comes.
Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer.
Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out: if anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don't want to do—just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself.
Just for today I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.
Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.
Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
就为了今天，我将只为度过今天而努力，而不是立刻去解决终生问题。我可以花12个小时去做某件事，如果我觉得要持续一生去做的话，我一定会胆战心惊。
就为了今天，我要快乐。亚伯拉罕·林肯说得很对：“大多数人之所以快乐，是因为他们决定要这样。”
就为了今天，我要调整自己适应一切，而不是让每一件事都合乎我的心愿。当好运降临时，我会好好把握。
就为了今天，我会充实我的头脑。我要学习，学习一些实用的东西，不做精神的流浪者。
就为了今天，我会用三种方法磨炼我的灵魂。我要做一件对他人有利的事，但不能被发现。如果有人发现了，那就不算。我至少要做两件不想做的事——只是为了磨炼。我受伤的心绪不会向任何人坦露，也许的确是伤痛，但我不会表现出来。
就为了今天，我要做一个使人愉快的人。我要尽可能地看起来令人满意。我要打扮得体，言谈温和，举止亲切，不言是非，努力改善自身，而不是管制他人。
就为了今天，我要有一个计划。可能我不会严格遵循，但有了计划，就可以避免两种弊端：仓促行事和优柔寡断。
就为了今天，我要独处宁静的半个小时，放松身心。在这半个小时里，我会在某个时刻试着去更好地感悟人生。
就为了今天，我无所畏惧。特别是，我不再害怕享受美好。我要相信，我对世界付出多少，世界也会回报多少。
好好度过今天，你会拥有美好的每一天！
