<p style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em;">如果有来生,我会少说,多听;我会请朋友来家里吃饭,即使把地毯弄脏;如果有来生,我会点燃那支雕成玫瑰状的蜡烛,不让它在尘封中融化;我会与孩子们坐在草地上,不去担心草地上的污渍……如果有来生,我会说更多的“我爱你”……“对不起”……然而,最重要的是,如果有来生,我会抓住每一秒……看人生,读人生……体验人生……再也不放手。 </p><p style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em;">If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more. </p><p style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em;">I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded. </p><p style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em;">I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth. </p><p style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em;">I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.</p><p style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em;">I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. </p><p style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em;">I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains. </p><p style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em;">I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life. </p><p style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em;">I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding patter if I were not there for the day. </p><p style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em;">I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time. </p><p style="TEXT-INDENT: 2em;">There would have been more "I love yous" ... more "I'm sorrys"... but mostly, given another shots at life, I would seize every minute... look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back. </p> |
