[00:00.00]Think It Over 好好想想
[00:04.55]Today we have higherbuildings and wider highways,
[00:09.26]but shorter temperaments 1 and narrower points of view;
[00:12.75]We spend more, but enjoy less;
[00:15.14]We have bigger houses,
[00:16.79]but smaller families;
[00:18.44]We have more compromises,
[00:20.29]but less time;
[00:21.38]We have more knowledge,
[00:23.14]but less judgment 2;
[00:24.35]We have more medicines,
[00:25.97]but less health;
[00:26.77]We have multiplied our possessions,
[00:29.05]but reduced our values;
[00:30.71]We talk much,
[00:32.13]we love only a little,
[00:33.56]and we hate too much;
[00:35.19]We reached the Moon and came back,
[00:37.28]but we find it troublesome to cross our own street
[00:40.32]and meet our neighbors;
[00:41.65]We have conquered the outer space,
[00:43.85]but not our inner space;
[00:45.13]We have higher income,
[00:47.01]but less morals;
[00:48.21]These are times with more liberty,
[00:50.72]but less joy;
[00:51.70]We have much more food,
[00:53.24]but less nutrition;
[00:54.57]These are the days in which it takes two salaries for each home,
[00:58.63]but divorces increase;
[01:00.26]These are times of finer houses,
[01:02.56]but more broken homes;
[01:04.08]That’s why I propose, that as of today;
[01:06.82]You do not keep anything for a special occasion,
[01:09.55]because every day that you live is a SPECIAL OCCASION.
[01:13.17]Search for knowledge, read more,
[01:15.45]sit on your porch and admire the view
[01:17.87]without paying attention to your needs;
[01:19.74]Spend more time with your family and friends,
[01:22.03]eat your favorite foods,
[01:23.89]visit the places you love;
[01:25.81]Life is a chain of moments of enjoyment 3;
[01:28.21]not only about survival;
[01:29.95]Use your crystal goblets 4.
[01:31.93]Do not save your best perfume,
[01:34.02]and use it every time you feel you want it.
[01:36.41]Remove from your vocabulary phrases like
[01:39.27]“one of these days”or“someday”;
[01:41.33]Let’s write that letter we thought of writing“one of these days”!
[01:44.52]Let’s tell our families and friends how much we love them;
[01:47.79]Do not delay anything that adds laughter and joy to your life;
[01:51.61]Every day, every hour,
[01:53.37]and every minute is special;
[01:54.69]And you don’t know if it will be your last.
