life lessons you will learn the hard way
人生必学的教训
We don’t care about the things we get easily.
我们不在乎容易得到的东西
This is true in all the areas of life. Take health for example.
这一点放之四海而皆准。就拿健康为例吧。
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?
很少有人把健康当回事儿。他们知道当他们不健康时,会不开心,但是他们还是会吃垃圾食品,不去锻炼,不断积攒脂肪,又不断去减肥。但仍是毫无效果。为什么?
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.
因为他们不拿自己的身体当回事,因为他们没有付出任何代价就拥有了身体。我们在车上花了成千上万元,所以会好好保管车。
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.
假如人的身体是有价的,那我们得付出多少钱呢?然后再想一下,如果我们得付出很大一笔钱才能得到自己的身体,我们会怎样对待自己的身体呢?
