Start Today

“What can you do when you have done nothing but mess up your whole life long?" These were the words I heard when I 1 the TV the other day. They were coming from one of the talk shows 2 are so popular on TV these days. I started to turn the channel but the words I had 3 made me stop for a moment. I 4 the speaker of them. He couldn't have been more than 18 years old, but already he was writing off (认为……已失败) his life as a useless waste.

I wanted to shout at him: “You're not 5 yet!"

It is 6 sad that so many people can't get beyond (摆脱) their pasts and live 7 the present. There are so many people like that talk show guest. There are people still in their teen years 8 that their lives are over. There are people in their twenties who already think they have 9 the boat to success and happiness. There are people in their thirties and forties who sit around complaining that life has passed them by. I want to shout to them all: “Wake up! You're still 10 ! What have you done today?" If you want a happy life, you can't dwell on (细想、纠缠于) your past 11 . If you want joy and love in your life, you have to choose them today. A new chance at life is given to us every time we wake up in the morning. It is up to us to seize it.

Today 12 be the beginning of a new life for each of us. We can choose joy right now. We can share love today. We can live in delight starting at this moment. It doesn't matter how hard our past has been. Our present can be full of joy and our future can be full of 13 . It doesn't matter if we are eight 14 eighty - we can still make our lives 15 .

Life isn't over until your last heartbeat. Start today, then, to make your heart beat with joy, love, and light.
