好好想想Today we have higher buildings and wider highways.doc

　Today we have higher buildings and wider highways, but shorter temperaments and narrower points of view; We spend more, but enjoy less; We have bigger houses, but smaller families; We have more compromises, but less time; We have more knowledge, but less judgment; We have more medicines, but less health; We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values; We talk much, we love only a little, and we hate too much; We reached the Moon and came back, but we find it troublesome to cross our own street and meet our neighbors; We have conquered the outer space, but not our inner space; We have higher income, but less morals; These are times with more liberty, but less joy; We have much more food, but less nutrition; These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home, but divorces increase; These are times of finer houses, but more broken homes; 　　今天我们拥有了更高层的楼宇以及更宽阔的公路，但是我们的性情却更为急躁，眼光也更加狭隘；我们消耗的更多，享受到的却更少；我们的住房更大了，但我们的家庭却更小了；我们妥协更多，时间更少；我们拥有了更多的知识，可判断力却更差了；我们有了更多的药品，但健康状况却更不如意；我们拥有的财富倍增，但其价值却减少了；我们说的多了，爱的却少了，我们的仇恨也更多了；我们可以往返月球，但却难以迈出一步去亲近我们的左邻右舍；我们可以征服外太空，却征服不了我们的内心；我们的收入增加了，但我们的道德却少了；我们的时代更自由了，但我们拥有的快乐时光却越来越少了；我们有了更多的食物，但所能得到的营养却越来越少了；现在每个家庭都可以有双份收入，但离婚的现象越来越多了；现在的住房越来越精致，但我们也有了更多破碎的家庭； 　　Thats why I propose, that as of today: 　　这就是我为什么要说，让我们从今天开始： 　　You do not keep anything for a special occasion, because every day that you live is a SPECIAL OCCASION. Search for knowledge, read more, sit on your front porch and admire the view without paying attention to your needs; Spend more time with your family and friends, eat your favorite foods, visit the places you love; Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment; not only about survival; Use your crystal goblets. Do not save your best perfume, and use it every time you feel you want it. Remove from your vocabulary phrases like one of these days or someday; Lets wirte that letter we thought of writing one of these days! Lets tell our families and friends how much we love them; Do not delay anything that adds
