这是我仅有的一天，是现实的永恒。我像被赦免死刑的囚犯，用喜悦的泪水拥抱新生的太阳。我举起双手，感谢这无与伦比的一天。当我想到昨天和我一起迎接日出的朋友，今天已不复存在时，我为自己的幸存，感激上苍。我是无比幸运的人，今天的时光是额外的奖赏。许多强者都先我而去，为什么我得到这额外的一天?是不是因为他们已大功告成，而我尚在途中跋涉?如果这样，这是不是成就我的一次机会，让我功德国满?造物主的安排是否别具匠心?今天是不是我超越他人的机会?
　　I will live this day as if it is my last.
　　今天是我生命中的最后一天。
　　I have but one life and life is naught but a measurement of time. When I waste one I destroy the other. If I waste today I destroy the last page of my life. Therefore, each hour of this day will I cherish for it can never return. It cannot be banked today to be withdrawn on the morrow, for who can trap the wind? Each minute of this day will I grasp with both hands and fondle with love for its value is beyond price. What dying man can purchase another breath though he willingly give all his gold? What price dare I place on the hours ahead? I will make them priceless!
　　生命只有一次，而人生也不过是时间的累积。我若让今天的时光白白流逝，就等于毁掉入生最后一页。因此，我珍惜今天的～分一秒，因为它们将一去不复返。我无法把今天存入银行，明天再来取用。时间像风一样不可捕捉。每一分一秒，我要用双手捧住，用爱心抚摸，因为它们如此宝贵。垂死的人用毕生的钱财都无法换得一口生气。我无法计算时间的价值，它们是无价之宝。
　　I will live this day as if it is my last.
　　今天是我生命中的最后一天。
　　I will avoid with fury the killers of time. Procrastination I will destroy with action; doubt I will bury under faith; fear I will dismember with confidence. Where there are idle mouths I will listen not; where there are idle hands I will linger not; where there are idle bodies I will visit not. Henceforth I know that to court idleness is to steal food, clothing, and warmth from those I love. I am not a thief. I am a man of love and today is my last chance to prove my love and my greatness.
　　我憎恨那些浪费时间的行为。我要摧毁拖延的习性。我要以真诚埋葬怀疑，用信心驱赶恐惧。我不听闲话、不游手好闲，不与不务正业的人来往。我终于醒悟到，若是懒惰，无异于从我所爱之人手中窃取食物和衣裳。我不是贼，我有爱心，今天是我最后的机会，我要证明我的爱心和伟大。
　　I will live this day as if it is my last.
　　今天是我生命中的最后一天。
　　The duties of today I shall fu1fill today. Today I shall fondle my children while they are young; tomorrow they will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall embrace my woman with sweet kisses; tomorrow she will be gone, and so will I. Today I shall lift up a friend in need; tomorrow he will no longer cry for help, nor will I hear his cries. Today I shall give myself in sacrifice and work; tomorrow I will have nothing to give, and there will be none to receive.
