February 7th, 2018 Week 6th Wednesday

We are all resigned to death: it is life we aren't resigned to.

我们可以屈从于死神，但我们却不能让生活任意摆布。

Of all the wonderful gifts that we have been given, one of the greatest is freedom.

As much as we may deny it, we are free in our life.

That is, we are free in what we think, we are free in what we feel, we are free in what we say, we are free in what we do.

Yes, life may give us some very difficult circumstances at times, but we are still free in how we choose to react to them.

But many of us deny this freedom.

We sit back in our misery and blame it on our parents, or our childhood, our health, or our financial problems.

Some of us, probably never stand up and take the responsibilities we deserve for our own lives and our own happiness.

The truth is that we've been given the power to choose love and joy in our lives no matter what happens to us, even when facing the death, it would be better to face up to it with smile.

No one has ever been or will ever be strong enough to take our freedom away from us.

Remember, we are always free to create the type of life we have always wanted, the choice is up to us.

I must govern the clock, not be governed by it.

我必须支配时间，而不是被时间支配。

From Golda Meir.

How we spend our time will determine what kind of people we will be.

Try to manage the limited amount of life-time efficiently, so as to maximize the value of our life.

I really feel that I was pressed for time, it seems there is always no enough time left for me to finish my work before the deadline.

Once a job was postponed, all of the time-schedule wouldn't be followed timely.

Don't overestimate my ability and will-power, I know I probably fail to graduate from the course I attend.

What a pity.
