"Yes, it can happen so quickly. Life as we know it can change in the blink of an eye. Unlikely friendships can blossom. Important careers can be tossed aside. A long-lost hope can be rekindled. Still, we should be grateful for whatever changes life throws at us, because all too soon the day will come when there are no changes left. " 
世事瞬息万变。转眼之间，面目全非。不可能的友谊可以开花结果，重要的事业可以放置一边，逝去多年的希望可以重新点燃。我们仍然要感激生活的改变，因为不久末日来临，就不在有任何改变了。
