27、s it all and is a greatrecipe for life:人生何其短暂你不会知道这美好的征程何时会结束，那么，为什么要浪费一分一秒，让自己变得棱角清楚？这里引用索萨的话，我觉得她一语中的，是人生的一大秘方。“Dance as though no one is watching you,Love as though you have never been hurt before,Sing as though no one can hear you,Live as though heaven is on earth.“跳舞吧，就像没有人欣赏一样，去爱吧，就像没有受到伤害一样，唱
