When I was 17，I read a quote that went something like：“If you live each day as if it were your last，someday you’11 most certainly be right．”It made a deep on me．and since then, for the past 33 years，I have in the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life， I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a ，I know I need to change something．
Remembering that I’ll be soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death， only what is truly important

The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, and pain-free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably(不可避免的) brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (义务), self - improvement.
Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates （解放）money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
小题1:According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _______ .| A．he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities | | B．he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single | | C．he finds more fun in dating than in marriage | | D．he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement |
小题2:From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .| A．hatred | B．misunderstanding | C．prejudice | D．ignorance |
小题3:What is the author trying to tell us?| A．Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain. | | B．One must know how to attain happiness. | | C．It is important to make commitments. | | D．It is pain that leads to happiness. |

I learned all about taking responsibility from my mother’s tough love. My mom had a wonderful way of helping you up and realize that your life is going to be what you make it.
She had this circular way of you took responsibility for your decisions and the person you would . She would say,“ It" s your .” “What you want and what you get are sometimes two different things.” And then, “No one ever said life was fair.” And she would these comments together in such a way that you could never an argument, and yet, the was that you realized your life is going to be what you make it.
So I might go to my mom and say, “I’d like to football”. And she would say, “Well, it"s your life. If you want to go out there and get and hurt and break your knees and limp around the rest of your life, that" s fine.” That is I would say, “Well, you know, that won’t . I" m really fast.” And she would reply, “Well, we don’t really have the money.” And then I would , “Yes but that" s not fair.” And she would reply, “ Well, life isn’t .” Then I would say, “But I’ve been itching to." And she would reply, “Yes, but what you want and what you get are usually two entirely different things.”
It was the combination of these that allowed my mother to lead me down the right path under her but let me feel as if I was making the decisions my own. The sum total of that was, in the end, you’re for the life you lead. That" s the best advice I’ve ever gotten.
