英语美文,27条励志的人生感言

Age is a state of mind. It is said that “if you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter”.
年龄是一种心态。常言道：“不上心，不扰心”。

Yet when I recently turned 27, a desire to stop for a moment crept in. “In almost three decades,” I thought to myself, “What is it that I have done and what is it that I wished to do instead?”
虽然我才刚过27，不过退却之心也悄悄来临。曾心中暗想：“在过去将近三十的人生里，我做过什么，如果可以重来，又会做什么。”

27条励志的人生感言

Though I’m not sure as to what my impact has been in this world, I decided to see how the world has impacted me instead. We spend our lives trying to learn, grasping as much knowledge as we can to get ahead of the game. We learn from the brave and from the cowardly, the rich and the not-so-rich, the greedy and the selfless.
尽管我无法确定自己对这个世界有怎样的影响，但我可以看到世界对我的影响。我们花时间学习，为了出人头地努力掌握更多的知识。勇气或怯懦、贫穷或富有、贪婪抑或无私，都是我们学习的源泉。

So it made me wonder: “What is it that I’ve learned in these short but fabulous years and which thoughts would I like to keep close to my heart forever?”
所以27年的人生让我思考：“从这短暂而美好的年华中我学到了什么，而哪些观点又是我希望可以一直铭记在心的？”
