If tomorrow was the end of the world, what would you do?
Would you rush home to hug your loved ones, and tell them how much you love them? Would you repent, kneel and pray to God to forgive your sins? Would you dress up as pretty as you can so that you can end your life gracefully? Would you eat, drink and buy all those luxurious things with your credit cards that you never imagined you could taste and own? Would you seize the day, eat, drink and be merry? Would you treat it as a normal day and do the usual things as usual?
I think I would spend a peaceful day with all my beloved ones and let them feel my affection. I think I would cook and eat as usual, then read books, play board-games or listen to a good piece of music together around the fireplace, simple but sweet.
If you can always keep your chin up, not to procrastinate and treat every minute as the last minute; even if tomorrow was the end of the world, whether it’s 2012 or eschatology - you would be proud to tell yourself that every moment is your precious moment.
My dearest friends, Carpe diem !
將進酒
ReplyDelete李白
君不見黃河之水天上來，
奔流到海不復回？
君不見高堂明鏡悲白髮，
朝如青絲暮成雪？
人生得意須盡歡，
莫使金樽空對月。
天生我才必有用，
千金散盡還復來。
烹羊宰牛且為樂，
會須一飲三百杯。
岑夫子，丹丘生，
將進酒，杯莫停。
與君歌一曲，
請君為我傾耳聽：
鍾鼓饌玉不足貴，
但願長醉不願醒。
古來聖賢皆寂寞，
唯有飲者留其名。
陳王昔時宴平樂，
斗酒十千恣讙謔。
主人為何言少錢？
徑須沽取對君酌。
五花馬、千金裘。
呼兒將出換美酒，
與爾同銷萬古愁。
我們的偉大詩仙李白最有先見之明! ^_^
ReplyDelete很愛這首。仔呀仔，拜托你地學多D中文，咁好嘅詩想同你地講吓都唔知點講，唉﹗
ReplyDelete..Oh, let a man of spirit venture where he pleases
And never tip his golden cup empty toward the moon!
...Let me be forever drunk and never come to reason!
Sober men of olden days and sages are forgotten,
And only the great drinkers are famous for all time.
...And we'll drown away the woes of ten thousand generations!
哈哈! 果然這個媽媽不簡單....
ReplyDeleteyou're so supermommy....

No, I found this from the web. It is difficult to explain to them.
