Consider...YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come， there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique① in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow！ Stop and think about that. You’re better than one in a million， or a billion， or a gazillio...
You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity②！！！
You’re amazing！ You’re awesome！ And by the way， TAG， you’re it. As amazing and awesome as you already are， you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsy of nature， but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don’t become “beautiful” just by virtue of the aging process.
Real beauty comes from learning， growing， and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly， and sometimes painfully， by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate③ your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers.
You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today. Paint a Masterpiece.
God gives every bird its food， but he doesn’t throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go， whatever you want to do， it’s truly up to you.
① uniqueadj. 独特的，独一无二的

生命掌握在你的手里
试想一下……你！一个空前绝后的你，不论是过去还是将来都不会有一个跟你一模一样的人。在整个历史和宇宙中，你也是独一无二的。噢！想想吧，你是一百万人、十亿人、一兆人中……最好的。
在浩渺的大千世界中，你是举世无双的！！！
你令人惊异！令人敬畏！没错，这就是你。生来不同凡响、卓越的你，还可以更加强大。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇迹，美丽的老人是艺术家的杰作。而你却不会随着年龄的增长而自然变得“美丽”。
真正的美丽源于生命中不断地学习、成长和关爱。这就是生命的艺术。你可以选择等候命运的安排，缓慢地、有时甚至是痛苦地学习。你也可以选择使自己快速成长，如饥似渴地享用生活提供的一切。
你就是用今天的画笔绘制未来宏伟蓝图的艺术家。创作一幅杰作吧！
上帝给了鸟儿食物，但他没有将食物扔到它们的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正做决定的还是你自己。
