Live A Life That Matters

Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end.
不管你是否有心理準備，人生總有盡頭。

There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
當時刻到來，你不再有分分秒秒,也沒有晨昏晝夜，

All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
你所收集的事物，想珍藏或己遺忘的，終將傳承給他人。

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
你所擁有的財富、名望及權力都無關緊要了，

It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
無論欠人或被欠的, 也都不再重要，

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.
你的妒忌、怨恨、挫折與猜忌終將消失。

So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire.
同樣的，你擁有的希望、抱負、計畫及待做的事情, 都會終止，

The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
曾經看來是重要的輸贏大事, 也都將隨之褪色消失，

It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end.
你從何處而來或在何處留下足跡，到頭來己不再重要。

It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant

Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.
甚至你的性別及膚色也將沒有關係。

So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?
什麼事情是重要的？你一生的價值要如何被衡量呢？

What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built;

What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
重要的不是你的能力，而是優良的品格。

What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.
重要的不是認識多少人，而是走後能讓多少人深深懷念。

What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you.
重要的不是留下聲名，而是在愛您的人心中留有多少回憶。

What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
過快樂的生活並非來自偶然，

It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
它跟環境沒有太大關係，而是自己一連串的選擇。

While you meet something beautiful, the first thing you should do is to share it with your friends anywhere.
當你遇見美好的事物時所要做的第一件事，就是把它分享給你四周的人。

So that these beautiful things will be able to spread out literally around the world.
才能讓這些美好的事物確確實實的散播到世界各角落
