老美同事转发给我，拿来与大家分享。类似的文章词句可能很多，不过时不时地读一读还是很有启发，有些安慰平和的作用。
也是，人一生到底在忙碌什麽哪？想一想头就疼，还是不要想了，过好每一天是最重要的，我们本来就不知道从哪里来的，要到哪里去也就不用担心了，反正都要有走的那一天，再辉煌和再平庸的人在这件事上却是平等的。

Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio ..... 
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written.

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more: 我试着翻译如下

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. （生活是不公平的，但她依然的好的。）

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. （每当你在怀疑时，只需迈一小步。）

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. （生命非常短暂不要浪费时间去恨任何人。）

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch. （你的工作不能在你生病时照顾你，你的朋友和父母会，与他们保持联系.)

5. Pay off your credit cards every month. （每月按时付完你的信用卡债。）

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. （你没有必要去赢得每次辩论，承认分歧。）

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. （与别人一起哭比一人伤心要恢复快的多。）

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it. （

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

13. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

14. Everything can change in the blink of an eye.. But don't worry; God never blinks.

15. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

16. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

17. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

18. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

19. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

20. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

21. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

22. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

23. The most important sex organ is the brain.

24. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will
this matter?'

26. Always choose life.

27. Forgive everyone everything.

28. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

31. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

32. Believe in miracles.

33. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

34. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

35. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.

36. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

37. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

38. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd
grab ours back.

39. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

40. The best is yet to come...

41. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

42. Yield.
