to emulate your example.

What will matter is not your competence, but your character.

何謂重要並非你的能力,而是你的品德.

What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.

What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you.

What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what

It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice.

它無關狀況但重要在於選擇是一回事.

While you meet something beautiful,

the first thing you should do is to share it with your friends anywhere.

當你遇見某些美好事物時,第一件要做事是與您的任何各地朋友共同分享.

So that these beautiful things will be able to spread out literally around the world.

 以便這些美好事物能夠確切地散播於世界各處.(感謝見瑞翻譯..柯醫師提供)。
