《Life Goes On 》Elizabeth Quinn
When the sun shines LIFE GOES ON
When the rain falls LIFE GOES ON
When the sun shines or the rain falls LIFE GOES ON.
When you're happy LIFE GOES ON
When you're sad LIFE GOES ON
When you're happy or you're sad
if you're good or if
you're bad LIFE GOES ON.
When you're laughing LIFE GOES ON
When you're crying LIFE GOES ON
If you're laughing or you're crying
If you're' living or you're dying LIFE GOES ON.
《生活在继续》
作者：依莉莎白

翻译：谭小宝 (Maggie Tan)
当阳光普照时，生活在继续；
当雨滴落下时，生活在继续。
当阳光普照或雨滴落下时，生活都在继续.
当你快乐时，生活在继续；
当你悲伤时，生活在继续。
当你快乐或悲伤的时候，
如果你感觉好或者感觉坏，
生活都在继续。
当你在大笑的时候，生活在继续；
当你在哭泣的时候，生活在继续。
如果你在大笑或者在哭泣，
如果你活着或者死去，
生活都在继续。
《Hold fast to dreams》 --- Langston Hughes (1902 - 1967)
Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

生活的艺术就是善于创造和享受生活中的快乐。
鸿雁一越千里，小麻雀则在自己筑的爱巢里倾倾我我。鸿雁不必嫌弃小麻雀缺少志向，小麻雀也不必羡嫉鸿雁的阅历与生活。他们的生活没有好坏的分别，只有模式的不同。只要他们能充分享受生活中的快乐就好。
对于女人，选择做家庭主妇、做职业白领，还是做独立创业者，虽然世俗看她们也许有分别，只要她们快乐就好。发明一道新的菜肴奉献给最爱的家人，与体会创业者风口浪尖上的心跳同样快乐。如人饮水，饮者自知。
对于男人，不论是追求功名与地位，还是追求金钱与事业，虽然世俗对成功的衡量有所不同，只要他们以平和的心态体会进取与创造的快乐，平衡事业与家庭的天枰，生活就会更快乐、真实、有意义。
金钱和地位只是许多获取快乐的方式之一。爱是重要的创造快乐的方式。生活的艺术关键在于善于创造和享受快乐的每一天。
其实只要你留意，快乐就在你细心体会的一茶一饭、一花一树、一朝一暮，在世界的种种美妙，在生活的点点滴滴。

很享受这几篇文章，对，应该叫美文。谢谢番茄的分享。
有一首英文诗以前也很喜欢，贴在这里和大家分享。
YOUTH
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite, for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of sixty more than a body of twenty. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.
Whether sixty or sixteen, there is in every human being's heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing child-like appetite of what's next, and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at twenty, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch the waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at eighty.
青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面，丹唇，柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炽热的感情；青春是生命的源泉在不息的涌流。
青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯懦，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，弱冠后生有之，耳顺之年，则亦多见，年岁有加，并非垂老；理想丢弃，方堕暮年。
岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤，热忱抛却，颓唐必至灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。
无论年届古稀，抑或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆深植一片追求，只要你从天上，人间追求美好，希望，欢乐，勇气和力量，你就青春永驻，风华长存。
一旦追求消失，锐气如同冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭，自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已老矣。然坚持追求，你就有望在百岁高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年青。作者: 小ta 时间: 2009-6-15 23:07
