Life's too short....smile while you still have teeth!

人生短暂，趁牙还在，能笑就多笑吧！

 

When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a

thousand reasons to smile.

当生活给你一百个理由哭泣时，你就拿出一千个理由笑给它看

 

 

打算参加今年Toastmasters的英语幽默演讲比赛，做一个有关微笑的演讲。这让我想到了网上特别火的一部励志短片: Validation。国内现有的视频中只有中文字幕，我找到了英文脚本，很不错的英文学习资料，特整理分享如下：
