Remembering that i’ll be dead soon is the most important tool. ‘记住自己即将死去’是我一生中遇到的最重要的箴言
I ’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. 它帮我做出了生命中重要的抉择
Because almost everything, all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. 因为几乎所有的事情,包括所有来自外界的期待、所有的骄傲、所有对难堪和失败的恐惧,这些在死亡面前都会消失,留下的是真正重要的东西。
Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. 有时候你会想自己会失去某些东西,而‘记住你即将死去’是我知道的避免这些想法的最好的办法。
you are already naked. 你已经赤身裸体了
There is no reason not to follow you heart. 你没有理由不去跟随自己的心。
