清晨,當(dāng)我們睜開雙眼,新的一天就開始了。我們不知道在這一天會發(fā)生什么事情,它就像一張空白的畫布,等待著我們?nèi)ッ枥L、著色,我們可以畫一朵烏云,也可以畫一抹燦爛的陽光。正如美國少女歌手及演員Demi Lovato在“Work of Art”這首歌中唱的那樣,life is a work of art,而我們自己正是生活這件藝術(shù)品的創(chuàng)作者。
我們該如何過好生活的每一天呢?Demi用歌聲告訴我們要follow your heart,傾聽自己的心聲,跟隨自己的心去做自己想做的事情,不為周圍的人、事所干擾。Demi還提醒我們,you're never too young or too old to dream。無論何時,我們都要敢于做夢,并用自己的實際行動將夢想變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)實。
電影《功夫熊貓》中有這樣一句極富哲理的臺詞:Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it's called the \"present\". 每一個今天都是一份禮物,所以從現(xiàn)在開始,用期待的心情迎接每一天,真真切切地過好每一天,用你的想象力和才華創(chuàng)造屬于你自己的生活杰作吧!
Every day is like a blank canvas
You know you can paint it anyway you want it
You can draw a black cloud
You can make the sun shine
Color in a rainbow
Or use black and white
Open up your eyes and your imagination
▲ Come on let's write a song, a little poetry
Take a photograph
Let's make some memories
You can make it anything
That you want it to be
If you follow your heart
Life is a work of art ▲
Oh every night's like looking at a dark screen
You're never too young or too old to dream
You can make a fantasy into a reality
'Cause you're creating your own masterpiece
Close your eyes and dream it
Seeing is believing
Refrain ▲
Turn a simple thought into philosophy
Turn a star into a galaxy
Make a little noise into a symphony
You're creating a masterpiece
Refrain ▲
Life is a work of art
