生活就是當我們忙于制定別的計劃時發生的事．下面是小編搜索整理的英語勵志美文：學會生活在現實當中，歡迎大家閱讀！

　　Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic art of spending much of our lives worrying about variety of things -- all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate your present moments, somuch so that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the flip side, we also postpone our gratification, our stated priorities, and our happiness, often convincing ourselves that "someday" will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that 'someday' never actually arrives. John Lennon once said, "Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans." When we are busy making 'other plans', ourchildren are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, ourbodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.

　　我們聽憑過去的麻煩和未來的擔心控制我們此時此刻的生活，以至我們整日焦慮不安，委靡不振，甚至沮喪絕望．而另一方面我們又推遲我們的滿足感，推遲我們應優先考慮的事情，推遲我們的幸福感，常常說服自己“有朝一日”會比今天更好．不幸的是，如此告戒我們朝前看的大腦動力只能重復來重復去，以至“有朝一日”不會真的來臨．約翰．列儂曾經說過：“生活就是當我們忙于制定別的計劃時發生的事．”當我們忙于指定種種＂別的計劃＂時，我們的孩子在忙于長大，我們摯愛的人離去了甚至快去世了，我們的體型變樣了，而我們的夢想也在消然溜走了．一句話，我們錯過了生活。
