英文美文欣賞：你可以選擇(You Have A Choice)
清晨，我早早醒來，為自己在午夜的鐘聲敲響前，將要做的一切激動不已。我有責(zé)任讓今天過得充實(shí)，我很重要。
選擇如何度過一個日子，這是我的工作。
今天下雨了，所以我可以抱怨；但是，草地?zé)o需花費(fèi)氣力去澆灌，所以我還可以感激。
今天沒有足夠的錢了，所以我可以難過，但這也使我懂得理性消費(fèi)，引導(dǎo)我遠(yuǎn)離浪費(fèi)，所以我也可以欣喜。
今天為自己的健康問題，我可以滿腹牢騷；但自己仍然活著，所以我可以歡呼雀躍。
今天因?yàn)樾r(shí)侯父母給予的太少，我可以悲嘆不已，但是，他們賦予我生命，所以我也可以萬分感激。
今天因?yàn)槊倒宓拇蹋铱梢詥柩士奁?；但有刺的莖上有玫瑰花，所以我又可以歡欣慶賀。
今天因?yàn)樽约喝鄙倥笥?，我可以哀傷悲痛；但我能去發(fā)掘新的感情，所以我又興奮不已
今天因?yàn)椴坏貌簧习?，我可以抱怨哭訴；但起碼我還有工作可以去做，所以我可以高聲歡呼。
今天因?yàn)椴坏貌蛔黾覄?wù)，我唉聲嘆氣； 但這是上帝賜予我的避風(fēng)港，我又深感榮耀。
今天伸展在我面前，等著我去塑造，而我正是它的雕刻師，來賦予它某種形狀。
今天是什么樣，完全由我決定，如何度過，由我選擇！
You Have A Choice
I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important.
My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.
Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.
Today I can fell sad that I don’t have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.
Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.
Today I can lament over all that my parents didn’t give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.
Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.
Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.
Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.
Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!
