如果有來生，我會少說，多聽；我會請朋友來家里吃飯，即使把地毯弄臟；如果有來生，我會點(diǎn)燃那支雕成玫瑰狀的蠟燭，不讓它在塵封中融化；我會與孩子們坐在草地上，不去擔(dān)心草地上的污漬……如果有來生，我會說更多的“我愛你”……“對不起”……然而，最重要的是，如果有來生，我會抓住每一秒……看人生，讀人生……體驗人生……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.
