Just for today I will try to live through this day only and not tackle my whole life problem at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I had to keep it up for a lifetime.
Just for today I will be happy. This assumes to be true what Abraham Lincoln said, that "Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Just for today I will adjust myself to what is, and not try to adjust everything to my own desires. I will take my "luck"as it comes.
Just for today I will try to strengthen my mind. I will study. I will learn something useful. I will not be a mental loafer. I will read something that requires effort, thought and concentration.
Just for today I will exercise my soul in three ways. I will do somebody a good turn and not get found out: If anybody knows of it, it will not count. I will do at least two things I don't want to do just for exercise. I will not show anyone that my feelings are hurt: they may be hurt, but today I will not show it.
Just for today I will be agreeable. I will look as well as I can, dress becomingly, talk low, act courteously, criticize not one bit, and try not to improve or regulate anybody but myself.
Just for today I will have a program, I may not follow it exactly, but I will have it. I will save myself from two pests: hurry and indecision.
Just for today I will have a quiet half hour all by myself and relax. During this half hour, sometime, I will try to get a better perspective of my life.
Just for today I will be unafraid. Especially I will not be afraid to enjoy what is beautiful, and to believe that as I give to the world, so the world will give to me.
只為今天，我將會(huì)努力僅僅為今天而活，而不是立刻去解決我生命中遇到的難題。我可以12個(gè)小時(shí)都做同樣的事，但若一輩子每天都這樣過(guò)，會(huì)讓人恐懼不已。
只為今天，我會(huì)很快樂(lè)。亞伯拉罕·林肯說(shuō)得對(duì)，“對(duì)于大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)，他們認(rèn)為自己有多幸福，就有多幸?！?。
只為今天，我會(huì)自我調(diào)整，讓自己去適應(yīng)事物的本來(lái)面貌，而不是想方設(shè)法苛求萬(wàn)物遵循我的意愿來(lái)運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)?！昂眠\(yùn)”來(lái)的時(shí)候，我會(huì)抓住它。
只為今天，我會(huì)努力讓內(nèi)心變得強(qiáng)大。我會(huì)學(xué)習(xí)，學(xué)一些有用的東西。我不要成為思想上懶散的人。我將會(huì)讀一些需要下苦功、思考和專注才能讀懂的書(shū)。
只為今天，我會(huì)用三種方法磨煉自己的靈魂。我會(huì)做好事不留名，若被人發(fā)現(xiàn)就不算數(shù)。我至少要做兩件不是只為了磨煉的事情。我不會(huì)讓任何人看到我的感情受到傷害：可能很痛，但是今天我不想表現(xiàn)出來(lái)。
只為今天，我會(huì)變得和藹可親。我會(huì)展現(xiàn)出我的最佳狀態(tài)，穿著得體、言談溫和、行為禮貌，決不吹毛求疵，試著提高并調(diào)整自己而非他人。
只為今天，我會(huì)制訂一項(xiàng)計(jì)劃，也許我不會(huì)嚴(yán)格執(zhí)行，但我一定要有這個(gè)計(jì)劃。我會(huì)將自己從兩個(gè)危害中解救出來(lái)：倉(cāng)促行事和優(yōu)柔寡斷。
只為今天，我會(huì)獨(dú)自靜靜地待上半小時(shí)，讓自己放松。在這半小時(shí)里，某些時(shí)刻，我會(huì)對(duì)自己的生活有個(gè)更美好的期望。
只為今天，我會(huì)變得無(wú)所畏懼。尤其是，我不會(huì)再害怕享受美好，我相信我給予世界，世界也會(huì)給予我，付出就有回報(bào)。
