Original Text

Every Day Is Valuable.

Life really is short, isn't it? We often act like we have all the time in the world, but the truth is, we don't. Each day is precious because once it's gone, it's gone forever. So, think about this when you're deciding how to spend your time. Let's say a neighbor asks you to hang out, but you don't really want to. It's probably better to say, "No thanks. I have something else on." Remember, you'd be trading a slice of your life for that experience, so ask yourself if it's worth it. Likewise, if you're about to engage in some mindless entertainment, think twice. Make a list of things you love doing and things you feel are important. Keep this list in mind so that when something comes up, you can compare your options against the list. If they align, great! If not, consider doing something that's more meaningful to you. Your time is valuable, so spend it in ways that bring you joy and fulfillment.

Translation

每一天都是珍贵的

人生真的很短暂,不是吗?我们常常表现得好像我们拥有这世界所有的 时间,但事实并非如此。每一天都是珍贵的,因为一旦过去,就永远过 去了。所以,当你决定如何度过你的时间时,想想这一点。就好比说如 果有邻居找你一起打发时间,但你其实不太想,你最好的回答可能是: 「不好意思,谢谢。我还有别的事情。」切记,你将会用人生的一小部 分来换得这次经历,所以问问自己,这样是否值得。同样地,如果你想 要做一些没什么意义的娱乐,请三思。列出你喜欢做的事情和你认为重 要的事情,并把这个清单记在心里,这样当有要做的事情出现时,你可 以将它和你的清单做比较。如果它们一致,那太好了!如果没有,请考 虑做一些对你来说更有意义的事情。你的时间很宝贵,所以要用可以带 给你快乐和满足的方式来度过。
