English-Chinese Translation 　 　 　 　 　 Why Measure Life in Heartbeats 　 　 　 　 　 When I became aware of my imminent mortality, my attitudes changed. There was real meaning to the words, This is the first day of the rest of your life. There was a heightened awareness of each sunny day, the beauty of flowers, and the song of a bird. How often do we reflect on the joy of breathing easily, of swallowing without effort and discomfort, of walking without pain, of a complete and peaceful nights sleep? 　 　 　 　 　 After I became ill, I embarked upon many things I had been putting off before. I read the books I had set aside for retirement and wrote one myself, entitled The Art of Surgery. My wife Madeleine and I took more, holidays. We played tennis regularly and curled avidly; we took the boys fishing. When I review these past few years, it seems in many ways that I have lived a lifetime
