▍英文原文

Lifeis a gift

Today before you think of saying an unkindword,

Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food,

Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband orwife,

Think of someone who's crying out to God fora companion.

Today before you complain about life,

Think of someone who went too early toheaven.

Before you complain about your children,

Think of someone who desires children butthey're barren.

Before you argue about your dirty housesomeone didn't clean or Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive,

Think of someone who walks the same distancewith their feet.

And when you are tired and complain aboutyour job,

Think of the unemployed, the disabled andthose who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing your fingeror condemning another,

Remember that not one of us is without sinand we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get youdown,

Put a smile on your face and thank God you'realive and still around.

Life is a gift,

Enjoy it,

Celebrate it,

And fulfill it...

And while you want to give love to someonetoday,

Love someone with what you do and the wordsyou say，

Love is not meant to be kept locked inside ofus and hidden,

So give it away" Give love to someonetoday!"
