第278期:改變我的那個瞬間
今天分享的是一個温暖人心的小故事。
喬布斯在2005年斯坦福大學的演講中曾經説過這樣一段話：
當我十七歲的時候, 我讀到了一句話:"如果你把每一天都當作生命中最後一天去生活的話,那麼有一天你會發現你是正確的。"這句話給我留下了一個印象。從那時開始,過了33年,我在每天早晨都會對着鏡子問自己:"如果今天是我生命中的最後一天, 你會不會完成你今天想做的事情呢？"當答案連續多天是"No"的時候, 我知道自己需要改變某些事情了。
生活中，改變我們心情或者決定的或許就在那麼一個不起眼的瞬間，今天我們就來聽這樣一個故事，講述的就是關於“瞬間”的故事。
temperature n.温度; 氣温; 體温;

I was living in Chicago and going through what was a particularly cold winter both in my personal life and the outside temperature. One evening I was walking home from a bar where I had been drinking alone, feeling sorry for myself, when I saw a homeless man standing over an exhaust grate in front of a department store. He was wearing a filthy sport coat and approaching everyone who passed by for money.
I was too immersed in my own troubles to deal with him so I crossed the street. As I went by, I looked over and saw a businessman come out of the store and pull a ski parka out of a bag and hand it to the homeless man. For a moment both the man and I were frozen in time as the businessman turned and walked away. Then the man looked across the street at me. He shook his head slowly and I knew he was crying.
It was the last time I have ever been able to disappear into my own sorrow.
在芝加哥，我經歷了一個特別寒冷的冬天，無論是個人生活還是室外温度。一天晚上，我獨自一人喝酒, 為自己感到難過，當我從酒吧往回走的時候，我看見一個無家可歸的人站在百貨公司前的排氣爐前。他穿着一件髒兮兮的運動衣，走近每個路過的人要錢。
我自憐自艾，沒工夫理會他，所以我過了馬路。當我走過，我看見一個商人從店裏出來，從包裏拿出一件滑雪外套遞給那個流浪漢。那個商人轉身走開的那一刻，對於我和那個流浪漢來説，時間似乎都凝固住了。然後那個流浪漢在街對面看着我。他慢慢地搖了搖頭，我知道他在哭。
這是我最後一次為自己難過。
