Living life over

如果有來(lái)生，我會(huì)少說(shuō)，多聽(tīng)；我會(huì)請(qǐng)朋友來(lái)家里吃飯，即使把地毯弄臟；如果有來(lái)生，我會(huì)點(diǎn)燃那支雕成玫瑰狀的蠟燭，不讓它在塵封中融化；我會(huì)與孩子們坐在草地上，不去擔(dān)心草地上的污漬……如果有來(lái)生，我會(huì)說(shuō)更多的“我愛(ài)你”……“對(duì)不起”……然而，最重要的是，如果有來(lái)生，我會(huì)抓住每一秒……看人生，讀人生……體驗(yàn)人生……再也不放手。

If I had my life to live over...I would have talked less and listened more.

I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was strained and the sofa faded.

I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.

I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed.

I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

I would have sat on the lawn with my children and not worried about grass stains.

I would have cried and laughed less while watching television - and more while watching life.

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.

I would never have bought anything just because it was practical, would not show soil or was guaranteed to last a life time.

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.
