Life is a struggle. If things don't turn out the way that you were expected, just try a harder struggle, so that you won't remember the pain from previous one.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn’t hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster.
—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident
the art of losing’s not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Nothing's lost forever.
In this world, there is a kind of
painful progress.
Longing for what we've left behind and...
dreaming ahead.
充满目标和远见，
活在当下，
这是唯一值得去做的。

Elizabeth Bishop, 1911 - 1979
失去的艺术，并不难掌握。
许多事情，注定会失去。
所能够做的，是活在当下，
不因追求精通失去的艺术，
而把自己击垮。
活在当下，
这是唯一所能做的。
