save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
13。做好充分的准備，然後就順其自然。
- Overprepare, then go with the flow.

29。閱讀詩篇。它涵蓋了每種情感。
- Read the Psalms. They cover every human emotion.
30。人生苦短，又何必長期悲憫。要不過著充實的生活，要不奄奄一息。
- Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy
dying.
31。當涉及到追求你所熱愛的人生，不要接受否定的答覆。
