We Are the Architect of Our Life　我的命运自己掌握

◎ Anonymous

Consider...YOU！In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be any one just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You’re better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion...

试想一下……你！一个空前绝后的你，不论是以往还是将来，都不会有一个同你一模一样的人。在整个历史和未来的宇宙中，你都是独一无二的。哇！停下来思考吧，你是万里挑一、亿里挑一、兆里挑一的……

You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity①!!!

在无穷无尽的宇宙中，你是举世无双的！！！

You’re amazing! You’re awesome! And by the way, TAG, you’re it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsy of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don’t become “beautiful” just by virtue of the aging process.

你是了不起的！你很棒！没错，就是你。你已经是了不起的，是卓越的，你还可以更卓越、更了不起。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇想，而美丽的老人却是艺术的杰作。但你并不会由于衰老的过程就自然而然变得“美丽”。

Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate② your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.

真正的美丽源于生命里的学习、成长和热爱他们的生活方式。这就是生命的艺术。你可以只听天由命，慢慢地学习，有时候会很痛苦，因为你只是等待着人生在你身上发生什么。又或者你可以选择加速自己的成长，故意地挥霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是那个手握今日之刷描绘自己未来的艺术家。

Paint a Masterpiece.

画出一幅传世之作吧！

God gives every bird its food, but he doesn’t throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it’s truly up to you.

上帝给了鸟儿食物，但他没有将食物扔进它的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正作决定的还是你自己。
