"The proper function of man is to live - not to exist." -- Jack London

“人应该生活，而不仅仅是生存。”——杰克·伦敦。

Too often we go through life on autopilot, going through the motions and having each day pass like the one before it.

很多时候我们的生活就好像是开着自动挡，像是在敷衍了事，每天的生活都和前一天一模一样。

That's fine, and comfortable, until you have gone through another year without having done anything, without having really lived life.

这样的日子过得不错、很舒坦，直到你发现这一年又什么也没做，没有真正地享受生活。

That's fine, until you have reached old age and look back on life with regrets. That's fine, until you see your kids go off to college and realize that you missed their childhoods.

这样的日子过得不错，直到你变老，回首往事，满是遗憾。这样的日子过得挺好，直到你看着孩子们都去上大学了，你才意识到自己错过了孩子们的童年。

It's not fine. If you want to truly live life, to really experience it, to enjoy it to the fullest, instead of barely scraping by and only living a life of existence, then you need to find ways to break free from the mold and drink from life.

这样的日子其实过得并不好。如果你想真正地生活，真正地体验生活，最大程度地享受生活，而不是勉强度日只为了生存，那么你应该想办法打破常规。
