Just for todayJust for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a life time. Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. ” Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my “l(fā)uck” as it comes. Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration. Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out. If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I dont want to dojust for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it. Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself. Just for today I will have a program. I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision. Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life. Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me. 就為今天 就為了今天，我將盡力只度過今天而不立刻去解決終身的問題。對一件令我恐慌而又必須堅持一輩子的事，我能堅持十二個小時。 就為了今天，我會很快樂。亞伯拉罕林肯說過，“對于大多數(shù)人而言，他們認(rèn)定自己有多幸福，就有多幸福?！边@已經(jīng)被認(rèn)為是真理。 就為了今天，我會做自我調(diào)整適應(yīng)事物本來的面目，而不是想方設(shè)法使每一件事滿足自己的欲望。當(dāng)“幸運(yùn)”來臨時我會抓住它。 就為了今天，我會盡力心強(qiáng)志堅。我會學(xué)習(xí)，學(xué)一些有用的東西。我不會做一個精神上的流浪漢。我會讀一些需要努力、思考和專注的東西。 就為了今天，我會用三種方法來磨煉我的靈魂。我會做對某人有利的事但不能被發(fā)現(xiàn)，若有人發(fā)現(xiàn)了就不算數(shù)。我將會做至少兩件我不愿做的事情 只為了磨煉。我不會讓任何人感到我的感情受到了傷害：它們可能受到了傷害，但今天我不會表現(xiàn)出來。 就為了今天，我會過得很愜意。我會盡力達(dá)到最佳狀態(tài)，穿著得體、講話謙虛、行為禮貌、一點(diǎn)不吹毛求疵，盡量改進(jìn)和調(diào)節(jié)自己而不是別人。 就為了今天，我會制定一個計劃，我也許不會嚴(yán)格地遵守它，但我一定要有計劃。我會避免兩種錯誤
