my brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sisters bureau and lifted out a tissue-wrapped package. this, he said, is not a slip. this is lingerie. he discarded the tissue and handed me the slip.

it was exquisite, silk, handmade and trimmed with a cobweb of lace. the price tag with an astronomical figure on it was still attached.

jan bought this the first time we went to new york, at least 8 or 9 years ago. she never wore it. she was saving it for a special occasion.

well, i guess this is the occasion.

he took the slip from me and put it on the bed, with the other clothes we were taking to the mortician. his hands lingered on the soft material for a moment, then he slammed the drawer shut and turned to me, dont ever save anything for a special occasion. every day you re alive is a special occasion.

i remembered those words through the funeral and the days that followed when i helped him and my niece attend to all the sad chores that follow an unexpected death. i thought about them on the plane returning to california from the midwestern town where my sisters family lives. i thought about all the things that she hadnt seen or heard or done. i thought about the things that she had done without realizing that they were special.

im still thinking about his words, and theyve changed the weeds in the garden. im spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to savour, not endure. im trying to recognize these moment now and cherish them.

im not saving anything; we use our good china and crystal for every special. event such as losing a pound, getting the sink unstopped, the first camellia blossom… i wear my good blazer to the market if i feel like it. my theory is if i look prosperous, i can shell out $28. 49 for one small bag of groceries without wincing. im not saving my good perfume for special parties; clerks in hardware stores and tellers in banks have noses that function as well as my party going friends.

someday and one of these days are losing their grip on my vocabulary. if its worth seeing or hearing or doing, i want to see and hear and do it now. im not sure what my sister wouldve done had she know that she wouldnt be here for the tomorrow we all take for granted.

i think she would have called family members and a few close friends. she might have called a few former friends to apologize, and mend fences for past squabbles. i like to think she would have gone out for a chinese dinner, her favorite food. im guessing. ill never know.

its those little things left undone that would make me angry if i knew that my hours were limited. angry because i put off seeing good friends whom i was going to get in touch with someday. angry because i hadnt written certain letters that i intended to write one of these days. angry and sorry that i didnt tell my husband and daughter often enough how much i truly love them.

im trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter and luster to our lives. and every morning when i open my eyes, i tell myself that every day, every minute, every breath truly, is... a gift from god.

尊敬的各位老师，亲爱的同学们：

大家好，我是xx班的xxx，今天我所演讲的题目是《珍惜时间》 。

君不见黄河之水天上来，奔流到海不复回。君不见高堂明镜悲白发，朝如青丝暮如雪。诗人的高歌，伟人的教诲，哲人的感慨时间，曾有多少文人墨客为它赞美，为它歌颂！

有人把时间比作金钱，为了言极它的`珍贵，却无法突出它的价值！金钱失去，可以由时间换回，然而，却从来没有人能用金钱买到时间；有人把时间比作智慧，为了说明它是用金钱买不来的，还需经过努力，拼搏、思索、创造但，即便费了这番心思，仍旧无能由魔掌中夺回时间！它太渺茫了，无影无形，漫天飘摇，可世间一切物质却又无一不是在它的控制下生存。花开堪折则须折，莫待无花空折枝。只有善于用时者，才能取得胜利！在时间的注视下，有人在努力，有人在消磨；有人迎向进取，有人自甘堕落；有人将年华虚度，有人勤恳奋发有人满腔热血，毕生充实；也有人华发早生，无为而终。时间有一颗明事理，辩黑白的心，它有一双雪亮的眼睛。时间喜欢有志气，敢和它竞争的人；痛恨任人摆布，随波逐流，抱着今朝有酒今朝醉的心态，不思进取的懦夫！

我是一个三年级的学生，马上面临中考，回顾当初自己走进校园的时候，充满了自信，也下定了决心为自己的梦想奋斗，因为我们有三年的时间，而此时还有一个月就要走出这个奋斗了三年的校园，时间如梭，岁月如流，珍惜时间，为自己的梦想插上飞翔的翅膀，在属于自己的天空中翱翔！经历了沧海桑田的旷世巨变，我们要扬起未来的风帆，勇敢地迎向挑战，面对考验，无畏风暴，劈风逐浪。开辟一条属于自己的阳光大道，达到海岸边的天堂！机不可失，时不等待。虽然我们欠缺了很多，尽管我们并不完美。但我们风华正茂，朝气蓬勃，我们满怀信心！我们会竭尽全力去开拓，填补缺陷！即使失意，也坦然。年轻的一代，有愁畅，懂得缅怀，但不等于是悲观妥协，一蹶不起！朋友们，列宁曾说：赢得了时间，就赢得了一切！让我们都长一双透视眼，在无形中捕捉时间，同它斗争！珍惜时间，赢得未来！

最后祝愿每位同学学习进步，祝愿老师身体健康，工作顺利！讲话完毕，谢谢大家！

Hello, everybody!

In this world, there is one thing that is very fair to everybody, whether you are a male or female, young or old, rich or poor.Does anybody know what it is called?

Right.It is time.The topic I am going to present to you today is called “ Treasure Every Minute”.To realize the value of ONE YEAR, ask a student who failed a grade.To realize the value of ONE MONTH, ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.To realize the value of ONE WEEK, ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.To realize the value of ONE HOUR, ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.To realize the value of ONE MINUTE, ask a person who missed the train.To realize the value of ONE SECOND, ask a person who just avoided an accident.To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND, ask the person who won a silver medal in the Olympics.Treasure every moment that you have!And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with.And remember that time waits for no one.Yesterday is history.Tomorrow is a mystery.Today is a gift.That's why it's called the present！The clock is running.Make the most of today.Good luck, everybody!

Thank you!
