Life without a purpose is a languid, drifting thing.
['laef(113) wi'ðaudə(131) 'pə:rbəs(↘5113)
/ izə'læŋgwə(11133) 'drif(t)ŋ(↘511) 'θiŋ(1)]
Every day we should review our purpose, saying to ourselves,
['evəri(333) 'dei(↗13) / wiʃədrə'vju:waur(1311↗1511) 'pə:rbəs(11) / seijəŋtuaurselvz(↘3111111)]
This day let me make a sound beginning.
['ðis(13) 'dei(1) / 'le(t)mi(↗151) 'meigə(31) 'saun(d)bi(131) 'gənniŋ(↘511)]
轻装待
生而怠图兮尸行,
何妨日三省身自言中?
立地成佛顿悟来,
顶天轻装待!
