I figure life is a gift and I don’t intend on wasting it. You never know what hand you’re going to get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you.
我觉得生命是一份礼物，我不想浪费它。你不会知道下一手牌会是什么，要学会接受生活。
这是《泰坦尼克号》里的一句经典台词，今天拿出来和大家一起分享。
生命的魅力在于，这一刻可能很苦，眼前一片漆黑，让人绝望，但下一秒会发生，永远是未知的。
你不知道明天迎接你的，是更大的磨难，还是雨过天晴后的晴空万里，生命就是如此的阴晴不定。
所以，当你处于人生的低谷时，不要灰心，更不要放弃，你要学会去接受生活充满恶意的一面。
《阿甘正传》里的一句台词有异曲同工的意味：人生就像一盒各式各样的巧克力，你永远不会知道下一块将会是哪种。
好好感知生命吧，酸甜苦辣都尝一尝。
