本文节选自一首朴素真挚的小诗，是作者意识到自己将死于癌症时写下的。它告诉大家，对于一个马上离开这个世界的人来讲，什么才是这世上非常重要的。
If I had my life live over,
假如生命可以重来，
I would have talked less and listened more.
我会少说多听。
I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.
我会坐在草坪上，即便绿草会把我的衣服弄脏。
I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.
我会把眼泪和笑声留给生活，而不是电视。
I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.
我会请朋友到家吃饭，虽然我的地毯满是污渍，沙发已经褪色。
But mostly, given another shot at life, I would seize every minute.
但，更要紧的是，假如生命可以重来，我将珍惜每一分钟。
Life is too short to let it pass you by. We only have one shot at this and then its gone.
生命这样短暂，怎敢蹉跎;生活只有一次，转瞬即逝。
I hope you all have a blessed day.
愿你们拥有幸福的每一天。
