What will matter?

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no days, no hours or minutes. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.

Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.

Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.

So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.

It won’t matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived.

It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant.

So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?

What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.

What will matter is not your success, but your significance.

What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.

What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.

What will matter is not your competence, but your character.

What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone.

What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you.

What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.

Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident.

It’s not a matter of circumstance but of choice.Choose to live a life that matters.

What will matter? 什么值得珍惜

参考译文

什么值得珍惜?

无论你是否已作好心理准备,终有一天,一切都将结束。到那时不会再有日出、岁月、小时或分钟。你所拥有的一切,无论是被你珍惜的,还是被你遗忘的,都将为他人所有。

到时,无论是你曾经拥有的,还是你现在拥有的财富、名望,以及种种权力都会变成与你豪不相干的事情。

你曾经的遗憾、怨恨、挫败感和嫉妒都将化为乌有。

当然,你的希望、雄心、计划和安排好的事情也无法再去实现。曾经的得与失,对你而言是那么的重要,然而,这一切也会慢慢淡去。

到时,无论你来处何方,或是曾沿着怎样的生活轨迹生活过,都已不再重要。同样地,无论你曾多么光鲜亮丽,也全无意义了。你的性别、肌肤的颜色、所有种族,都会慢慢被遗忘。

那么,到底什么事情是值得我们珍惜的呢?人生的价值标准双该怎样衡量呢?

生命中重要的不是你买到了什么,而是你创建了什么;不是你得到了什么,而是你给予了什么;

不是你所取得的成功,而是你创造的价值;

不是你学到了什么,而是你教会了别人什么。

生命中重要的是你正直、仁慈、勇敢、奉献的每一个行为。这些行为充实了别人、鼓舞着别人以你为榜样去为这世界的美好而努力。

真正被珍惜的,不是你的能力,而是你的为人。

真正被珍惜的,不是你曾认识过多少人,而是在你离开时,那些会为你久久沉浸在悲伤之中的人。

真正被珍惜的,不是你全部的记忆,而是对你所爱之人的情怀。

真正被珍惜的,不是你离去后,会在人们心中停留多久,而是哪些人,为了哪些事而记得你。

人的一生中,并非是偶然遇到这些应该被珍惜的事情的。

所处环境如何并不重要,怎样做出最终选择才是你应该慎重考虑的。而选择一个最适合你的生活方式,才是重中之重。
