过节的时候,太太说要送我件节日礼物,我说我啥也不想要,因为任何物质的东西都很难引起我的兴趣。
太太执意要送我的礼物,是一份她自己用网上软件做成的日历:封面是圣诞节前自家后院的高尔夫球场的风景照,其它12月份的图片,是太太用她的手机,在2023年间给我照的12张随意照。
用软件做日历,可以在封面和各月的照片下面加一句话。我对太太说,如果她执意要做的话,不如我选13句我自己喜欢的鸡汤文。太太说这是个好主意,于是我就匆匆忙忙,用了不到10分钟,选了13句我喜欢的鸡汤文。
这是封面和各月份的鸡汤文:
封面: There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.
1月:Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
2月:Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out.
3月:Debt is a wonderful discipline.
4月:Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
5月:You do not get rich by making money. You get rich by wisely managing the money you make.
6月:The more you learn, the more you can earn.
7月:You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
8月:Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.
9月:The only thing that money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money.
10月:If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
11月: Don't say, ‘If I could, I would.’ Say, ‘If I can, I will.’
12月:Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.
基本全是铜臭气,哈哈!
还别说,太太送的礼物还蛮别致,我挺喜欢!
最后加个小问答: 请说说每句话各出自何人之口?
