清晨，我早早醒来，为自己在午夜的钟声敲响前将要做的一切激动不已。我有责任让今天过得充实，我的作用是很重要的。选择如何度过每一天，这是我的工作。今天下雨了，所以我可以抱怨；但是，草地无需花费力气去浇灌，所以我还可以感激。今天没有足够的钱，所以我可以难过；但这也使我懂得理性消费，引导我远离浪费，所以我也可以欣喜。今天为自己的健康问题，我可以满腹牢骚；但自己仍然活着，所以我可以欢呼雀跃。今天因为小时候父母给予的太少，我可以悲叹不已；但是，他们赋予我生命，所以我也可以万分感激。今天因为玫瑰的刺，我可以呜咽哭泣；但有刺的茎上有玫瑰花，所以我又可以欢欣庆贺。
今天因为自己缺少朋友，我可以哀伤悲痛；但我能去发掘新的感情，所以我又兴奋不已。今天因为必须上班，我可以抱怨哭诉；但起码我还有工作可以去做，所以我可以高声欢呼。今天因为必须做家务，我唉声叹气；但这是上帝赐予我的避风港，我又倍感荣耀。今天伸展在我的面前，等着我去塑造，而我正是它的雕刻师，来赋予它某种形状。今天是什么样，完全由我决定，今天怎样度过，由我来选择！
I woke up early today，excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight.I have responsibilities to fulfill today.I am important.My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.Today I can feel sad that I don’t have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.Today I can lament over all that my parents didn’t give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.Today I can mourn my lack of friends or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind，body and soul.Today stretches ahead of me，waiting to be shaped.And here I am，the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.What today will be like is up to me.I get to choose what kind of day I will have！
