life lessons you will learn the hard way
人生必學的教訓
We don’t care about the things we get easily.
我們不在乎容易得到的東西
This is true in all the areas of life. Take health for example.
這一點放之四海而皆準。就拿健康為例吧。
Very few people take their health seriously. They know that if their health is lost, they won’t be happy, still they eat junk food and never exercise, keep accumulating fat and keep spending on weight loss programs. Still nothing works. Why?
很少有人把健康當回事兒。他們知道當他們不健康時,會不開心,但是他們還是會吃垃圾食品,不去鍛煉,不斷積攢脂肪,又不斷去減肥。但仍是毫無效果。為什么?
Because they don’t take their health seriously and the real reason behind that is they have got it for free. We spend thousands on cars and take care of them nicely.
因為他們不拿自己的身體當回事,因為他們沒有付出任何代價就擁有了身體。我們在車上花了成千上萬元,所以會好好保管車。
Imagine what would have been the price of human body if we had to pay for it? And then imagine how well we would take care of it if we had paid a huge amount of money to get our body.
假如人的身體是有價的,那我們得付出多少錢呢?然后再想一下,如果我們得付出很大一筆錢才能得到自己的身體,我們會怎樣對待自己的身體呢?
