Strive for Life
為生活而奮鬥
Knowing that life truly is short and can only be lived once is probably the best line of thinking for inspiration. All humans live on a large planet, filled with exciting new experiences, adventures, knowledge, and a wealth of resources to help one with gaining wisdom and knowledge. To realize this and to allow life to take place in this is to responsibly live life. Are all humans bound for foreign lands, foreign thought, or foreign experiences? No. Should all humans hope to experience foreign lands, foreign thought, and foreign experiences? Without question. Having a responsible, reasonable, and mature grasp, mentally, of all that is out there to enhance one’s experience in life, is one of the greatest blessings one can bestow upon himself. For knowing that the tools one has through birth need to be used and practiced with; sharpened and prepared for more difficult and challenging use, does one truly and actively approach living life from a strong foundation.
懂得生命短暫，而且只有一次，就會對生活充滿熱情。人們生活在一個巨大的星球上，每天都充滿著新的歷程，學到新的知識，掌握到大量的資源，並以此來獲得智慧與知識。認識到這一點，並且如此生活，才是有質量的生活。是不是每個人都要去外國，瞭解外國人的想法，體驗外國的生活呢？不是。但是不是每個人都應當有去外國，瞭解外國人的想法，體驗外國的生活的想法呢？毫無疑問，是的。作為一個有責任心、有理智、有思想、成熟的人，去增長見識無疑是對自己最好的獎賞。因為人天賦的能力應當被使用、被鍛鍊、被磨礪，為日後所面臨的困難和挑戰做準備，這就為他積極和真實地面對生活打下堅實的基礎。
Why should anyone try to live life in a constant motion towards becoming greater, becoming stronger, and becoming wiser and more educated? Why not? For facing life with arms crossed, brow furrowed, and expectation as a rule is, without question, a waste. Living life is all about striving forward. So why not do what one can, utilizing one’s God-given tools, to become the greatest individual one can be? Live. Accept. Face. Strive. Truly live.
為什麼一個人要變得更偉大、更強壯、更聰明、更有知識呢？為什麼不呢？因為如果抱著手、皺著眉地對待生活，那麼所有的期望都會化為泡影。生活就是要奮勇前進。所以，為什麼不好好地利用上帝賦予我們的能力，儘量變成一個最優秀的人呢？生活、接受、面對、奮鬥，這就是真實的生活。
