Start Today What can you do when you have done nothing but mess up your whole life long? These were the words I heard when I 36 the TV the other day. They were coming from one of the talk shows 37are so popular on TV these days. I started to turn the channel but the words I had 38 made me stop for a moment. I 39 the speaker of them. He couldnt have been more than 18 years old, but already he was writing off （认为……已失败） his life as a useless waste. I wanted to shout at him: Youre not 40 yet! It is 41 sad that so many people cannot get beyond 摆脱 their pasts and live 42 the present. There are so many people like that talk show guest. There are people still in their teen years 43 that their lives are over. There are people in their twenties who already think they have 44 the boat to success and happiness. There are people in their thirties and forties who sit around complaining that life has passed them by. I want to shout to them all: Wake up! Youre still 45 ! What have you done today? If you want a happy life, you cant dwell on 细想、纠缠于 your past 46 . If you want joy and love in your life, you have to choose them today.
