英语美文欣赏：Just for today
Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle mywhole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would
appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham
Lincoln said, that "Most folks are 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 "luck" 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 don't want to do-just 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.
