I have the bad habit of skipping to the last pages of a book to see how it ends while I am still in the middle of it. This habit annoyed first my Mom, then my friends, and finally even my own daughter.
我有一個(gè)換習(xí)慣就是看書看到一半，就翻到最后看結(jié)局。我的母親、我的朋友以及連我的女兒都很不喜歡我這樣。

Often my impatience wouldn't be confined just to the books I read but also to what they were reading as well. Finally one day my daughter told me in exasperation, 'Dad please just read a book one page at a time like everyone else!'
我是個(gè)急性子，不光我自己讀書這樣，我還管著別人讀書。最后我的女兒爆發(fā)了，“爸爸，你能不能像人家讀書一樣，每次就讀一頁！”

At times I haven't limited this bad habit to just books either. I have also tried to skip ahead in my own life and figure out what to do months and even years from now instead of embracing each day as God intended.
我的急性子不止在讀書這個(gè)方面。在生活中我也時(shí)不時(shí)的會(huì)這樣。想要知道未來幾個(gè)月甚至幾年要做什么，而不是像上帝推崇的那樣享受當(dāng)下。

I knew that the book of my life wasn't done yet and that I had many pages left to go. Still, that didn't stop me from trying to write the ending half-way through.
我知道自己人生的這本書沒有結(jié)束，還有很多頁沒有讀。然而，我還會(huì)臆想結(jié)局。

Time and again, I would foolishly jump ahead and try to solve every conceivable problem before it happened so I could reach that storybook happily ever after ending.
有時(shí)我總是愚蠢地想象著書中的結(jié)局，杞人憂天般的考慮著還沒發(fā)生的問題，我總是能很高興的自動(dòng)帶入書中情節(jié)，不管書中結(jié)局怎樣。

Life, however, doesn't work like that. God loves to surprise us, and you never know what new problem, change, or opportunity each new day will bring.
然而生活不是這樣。上帝喜歡給我們驚喜。每一天你都不會(huì)知道自己會(huì)遇上什么問題，改變或者機(jī)會(huì)。

Recently when I found myself returning to that bad habit of rushing ahead and living in the future again, I found his truth coming from the lips of a special soul who gently told me I needed to 'live one day at a time.'
最近我發(fā)現(xiàn)這個(gè)心浮氣躁、活在未來的壞習(xí)慣又開始作祟。這時(shí)我隱隱的感覺到有個(gè)神秘的靈魂對我悄聲說著“活在當(dāng)下”。

When I heard those words I smiled, turned the book of my life back to the right page, and thanked God for today.
當(dāng)我聽到這些話，我會(huì)心地笑了。感謝上帝讓我領(lǐng)悟到如何將人生之書翻到正確的頁碼。

There is no skipping ahead in the book of life. Each of us has to live it one page and one day at a time. Each of us has to have faith in God to help us to write it line by line and moment by moment. Each of us has to trust that our Heavenly Father will bring our story to its perfect end.
人生不可能像看書跳過開頭就到看到結(jié)尾一樣。人生一天一天度過，書也要一頁一頁讀。我們要深信上帝會(huì)幫我們書寫人生，一行又一行，記錄我們的一刻又一刻。最終我們會(huì)在上帝的引導(dǎo)之下將人生畫上完美的句號。
