"See how you can make every day, even the most ordinary, dreary weekday, a celebration, if only for a few moments! With a kind word. With an act of dignity. A polite gesture. It doesn't take much for a human celebration. You can sneak some magical element into every day, give yourself the gift of a quarter of an hour of experiencing the truth of a book, the satisfaction of learning some obscure concept, comforting or enlightening your surroundings. Life will be richer, more festive, and more human if you fill a few minutes of the ordinary with the extraordinary, the human, the benign, and the courteous; in other words, with celebration.

Nézz utána, hogy minden napból, a legközönségesebb, sivár hétköznapból is ünnepet csinálj, ha pillanatokra is! Egy jóindulatú szóval. Méltányos cselekedettel. Udvarias mozdulattal. Nem kell sok az emberi ünnephez. Minden napba belecsempészhetsz valamilyen varázsos elemet, megajándékozhatod magad egy könyv igazságának negyedórás élményével, valamilyen homályos fogalom megismerésének kielégülésével, környezeted vigasztalásával vagy felderítésével. Az élet gazdagabb lesz, ünnepibb és emberibb, ha megtöltöd a hétköznapok néhány percét a rendkívülivel, az emberivel, a jóindulatúval és az udvariassal; tehát az ünneppel.

Vezi cum poți face din fiecare zi, chiar și cea mai obișnuită și mohorâtă zi a săptămânii, o sărbătoare, chiar și numai pentru câteva momente! Cu un cuvânt bun. Cu un act de demnitate. Cu un gest politicos. Nu e nevoie de mult pentru o sărbătoare umană. Puteți strecura câte un element magic în fiecare zi, oferiți-vă în dar un sfert de oră de trăire a adevărului unei cărți, satisfacția de a învăța un concept obscur, mângâierea sau iluminarea celor din jur. Viața va fi mai bogată, mai festivă și mai umană dacă umpleți câteva minute din obișnuit cu extraordinar, uman, benign și politicos; cu alte cuvinte, cu sărbătoare.
