過節的時候,太太說要送我件節日禮物,我說我啥也不想要,因為任何物質的東西都很難引起我的興趣。
太太執意要送我的禮物,是一份她自己用網上軟件做成的日曆:封麵是聖誕節前自家後院的高爾夫球場的風景照,其它12月份的圖片,是太太用她的手機,在2023年間給我照的12張隨意照。
用軟件做日曆,可以在封麵和各月的照片下麵加一句話。我對太太說,如果她執意要做的話,不如我選13句我自己喜歡的雞湯文。太太說這是個好主意,於是我就匆匆忙忙,用了不到10分鍾,選了13句我喜歡的雞湯文。
這是封麵和各月份的雞湯文:
封麵: There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.
1月:Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
2月:Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out.
3月:Debt is a wonderful discipline.
4月:Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
5月:You do not get rich by making money. You get rich by wisely managing the money you make.
6月:The more you learn, the more you can earn.
7月:You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
8月:Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.
9月:The only thing that money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money.
10月:If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
11月: Don't say, ‘If I could, I would.’ Say, ‘If I can, I will.’
12月:Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.
基本全是銅臭氣,哈哈!
還別說,太太送的禮物還蠻別致,我挺喜歡!
最後加個小問答: 請說說每句話各出自何人之口?

If I were to do the same, I would do it this way:
Jan.: You are the best.
Feb.: You truly are - see Jan,
March: Don't ever doubt it - see Feb.
April-Dec.: Repeat Jan. - March.
Hahahaha.
