Live with a sense of future

You just have to set the necessary conditions for health, necessary incentives for health, for both yourself and your children, if you have them. Do not set incentives for sickness.
你必须让自己有动力去保持健康，这不仅是为了你，而且也是为了你的孩子，如果你有孩子的话。不要让自己有悲伤的机会。

I've felt depressed. I've felt miserable. I've felt at times where it might be better to take my life. But with the wisdom that I have gathered in my 33 short years of life, I've come to realize that it's just a feeling and in the same way that feeling cold is diminished. The misery of feeling cold is diminished by the insight that spring will come eventually.
我感到抑郁，我感到悲哀。有时候，我觉得，要是结束生命，说不定会更好。但是，根据我短暂的三十三年的人生经历，我已经意识到了，这只是一种感觉而已，这跟冬天感到寒冷是一样的，它们都会逐渐消散。冬天天气很冷时，你感到很痛苦，但是，如果你知道，春天终究会到来，那么这种痛苦的感觉就会消散。

And it's the same feeling that you should acknowledge, the same law that you should acknowledge that no matter how miserable things are right now, it is just a season. It's going to pass.
其实这个道理是通用的，无论现在的情况看起来有多痛苦不堪，它只是一个季节而已，它迟早会过去的。

You know the thing that keeps one living is a sense of future, that there will be a tomorrow and a next day after that. I've got to do this and the day after that I've got to do that, not that any of these things have a particular logical purpose or convincing reason to exist but they somehow keep someone going. You might as well live while you've got the chance.
你知道吧，让人坚持活下去的，就是对未来的期待，就是知道还有明天，知道明天之后还有后天。我今天有事要做，明天也有事要做，并不是因为所有这些事情都有特定的逻辑目的或令人信服的理由，而是它们能让人坚持下去。趁着还有机会，你最好也好好活下去。
