This Day, Yesterday, Tomorrow　

I will live this day as if it is my last.

And what shall I do with this last precious day which remains in my keeping? First, I will seal up its container of life so that not one drop spills itself upon the sand. I will waste not a moment mourning yesterday’s misfortunes, yesterday’s defeats, yesterday's aches of the heart, for why should I throw good after bad?

Can sand flow upward in the hour glass? Will the sun rise where it sets and set where it rises? Can I relive the errors of yesterday and right them? Can I call back yesterday's wounds and make them whole? Can I become younger than yesterday? Can I take back the evil that was spoken, the blows that were struck, the pain that was caused? No. Yesterday is buried forever and I will think of it no more.

And what then shall I do? Forgetting yesterday neither will I think of tomorrow. Why should I throw note after maybe? Can tomorrow's sand flow through the glass before today's? Will the sun rise twice this morning? Can I perform tomorrow's deeds while standing in today's path? Can I place tomorrow's gold in today's purse? Can tomorrow’s child be born today? Can tomorrow's death cast its shadow backward and darken today's joy? Should I concern myself over events which l may never witness? Should I torment myself with problems that may never come to pass? No! Tomorrow lies buried with yesterday, and I will think of it no more.

假如今天是我生命中的最后一天。

我要如何利用這最后、最寶貴的一天呢？首先，我要把一天的時間珍藏好，不讓一分一秒的時間滴漏。我不為昨日的不幸嘆息，過去的已夠不幸，不要再賠上今日的運道。

時光會倒流嗎？太陽會西升東落嗎?我可以糾正昨天的錯誤嗎？我能扶平昨日的創(chuàng)傷嗎？我能比昨天年輕嗎？一句出口的惡言，一記揮出的拳頭，一切造成的傷痛，能收回嗎？不能！過去的永遠過去了，我不再去想它。

我該怎么辦？忘記昨天，也不要癡想明天。明天是一個未知數(shù)，為什么要把今天的精力浪費在未知的事上？想著明天的種種，今天的時光也白白流逝了。企盼今早的太陽再次升起，太陽已經(jīng)落山。走在今天的路上，能做明天的事嗎?我能把明天的金幣放進今天的錢袋里嗎？明日瓜熟，今日能蒂落嗎？明天的死亡能將今天的歡樂蒙上陰影嗎？我能杞人憂天嗎？明天和明天一樣被我埋葬。我不再想它。
