过节的时候，太太说要送我件节日礼物，我说我啥也不想要，因为任何物质的东西都很难引起我的兴趣。
太太执意要送我的礼物，是一份她自己用网上软件做成的日历：封面是圣诞节前自家后院的高尔夫球场的风景照，其它12月份的图片，是太太用她的手机，在2023年间给我照的12张随意照。
用软件做日历，可以在封面和各月的照片下面加一句话。我对太太说，如果她执意要做的话，不如我选13句我自己喜欢的鸡汤文。太太说这是个好主意，于是我就匆匆忙忙，用了不到10分钟，选了13句我喜欢的鸡汤文。
这是封面和各月份的鸡汤文：
封面: There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.
1月：Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.
2月：Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out.
3月：Debt is a wonderful discipline.
4月：Luck is when preparation meets opportunity.
5月：You do not get rich by making money. You get rich by wisely managing the money you make.
6月：The more you learn, the more you can earn.
7月：You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
8月：Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.
9月：The only thing that money gives you is the freedom of not worrying about money.
10月：If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
11月： Don't say, ‘If I could, I would.’ Say, ‘If I can, I will.’
12月：Learn how to be happy with what you have while you pursue all that you want.
基本全是铜臭气，哈哈！
还别说，太太送的礼物还蛮别致，我挺喜欢！
最后加个小问答: 请说说每句话各出自何人之口?

If I were to do the same, I would do it this way：
Jan.: You are the best.
Feb.: You truly are - see Jan,
March: Don't ever doubt it - see Feb.
April-Dec.: Repeat Jan. - March.
Hahahaha.
