You can’t do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late. We shouldn’t wait for the perfect moment to give a compliment or do a favor. Moments come and go too quickly. If we wait for them, we’re likely to miss them altogether. We should always indulge an urge to do something nice for others. When the impulse hits, go with it. Give the compliment. Do the favor. Say something that will cheer a friend. I don’t want to miss the chance to be kind to those around me.
行善不可能“太早”,因为你永远不知道什么时候就变成“太晚”了。我们不应该等待最佳的时刻才给别人称赞、给别人帮助。这样的时刻来得快,去得也快。如果我们等待,很有可能会全都失去。我们应该总是顺从自己内心行善的冲动。当这种念头出现时,跟随它。给人称赞吧,给人援助吧,说一些可以让朋友感到振奋的话。我不想错过对身边的人友善的机会。
