Dear son..孩子…..
The day that you see me old and I am already not, have patience and try to understand me … 哪天你看到我日渐老去,身体也渐渐不行,请耐着性子试着了解我……
If I get dirty when eating… if I can not dress… have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you. 如果我吃的脏兮兮,如果我不会穿衣服…… 有耐性一点…… 你记得我曾花多久时间教你这些事吗?
If, when I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times… do not interrupt me… listen to me 如果,当我一再重复述说同样的事情…不要打断我,听我说….
When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep… When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me nor scold me… 你小时候,我必须一遍又一遍的读着同样的故事,直到你静静睡着…….. 当我不想洗澡,不要羞辱我也不要责骂我……
Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath… When you see my ignorance on new technologies… give me the necessary time and not look at me with your mocking smile… 你记得小时后我曾编出多少理由,只为了哄你洗澡….. 当你看到我对新科技的无知,给我一点时间,不要挂着嘲弄的微笑看着我
I taught you how to do so many things… to eat good, to dress well… to confront life… 我曾教了你多少事情啊….如何好好的吃,好好的穿… 如何面对你的生命……
When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation… let me have the necessary time to remember… and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous… as the most important thing is not my conversation but surely to be with you and to have you listening to me… 如果交谈中我忽然失忆不知所云,给我一点时间回想… 如果我还是无能为力, 请不要紧张….. 对我而言重要的不是对话,而是能跟你在一起,和你的倾听…..
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not. 当我不想吃东西时,不要勉强我. 我清楚知道该什么时候进食
When my tired legs do not allow me walk… 当我的腿不听使唤….
… give me your hand… the same way I did when you gave your first steps. 扶我一把…. 如同我曾扶着你踏出你人生的第一步….
And when someday I say to you that I do not want to live any more… that I want to die… do not get angry… some day you will understand… 当哪天我告诉你不想再活下去了….请不要生气…. 总有一天你会了解…
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. 试着了解我已是风烛残年,来日可数.
Some day you will discover that, despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you.. 有一天你会发现,即使我有许多过错,我总是尽我所能要给你最好的…
You must not feel sad, angry or impotent for seeing me near you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you started living. Help me to walk… help me to end my way with love and patience. I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you. 当我靠近你时不要觉得感伤,生气或无奈 你要紧挨着我,如同我当初帮着你展开人生一样的了解我,帮我…. 扶我一把,用爱跟耐心帮我走完人生… 我将用微笑和我始终不变无边无际的爱来回报你
再说说前天看到一句话。很让我深省。It is not having what you want, it is wanting what you’ve have.现在主流年轻人都是在说,要追求自己真正想要的东西,这是对的。但是我个人的感受是,在20多岁甚至30多岁的时候,很多很多的人,其实不知道自己真正是想要什么的,过往短短20、30多年中我们其实独立思考的也就是10多年了不得了,就这么长时间还不知道真正面对自己内心直面了解自己的时间和机会有多少。我是一直觉得我现在还不完全了解自己的。就我自己而言,越小的时候觉得自己很了解自己,越大了反而发现这个课题复杂,不敢年少轻狂。所以,在不了解自己的时候,你追求你以为自己最想要的东西,容易盲目。

Today I got a sad announcement from a HR leader that we just lost one of our HR colleagues. “Claire passed away peacefully around noon today surrounded by her close family members and colleagues……” Gastric cancer.
What shock news! How frangible our life is! After deep sorrow, I start to think about the important fact — “We cannot truly face life until we face the fact that it will be taken away from us.”
I think I really need consider my life seriously and do not waste my time any longer. As the saying, Live Like You’ll Die Tomorrow! If the day comes, what is in my mind? What should I do then? What’s my deep feeling about leaving?
Here share a piece of article with my friends——-
Life is tough, it takes up a lot of your time. What do you get out of it? I think the life cycle is all backwards. The following is how I see it:
·You should die first, get that out of the way
·Then you should live twenty years in an old age home, you get kicked out when you are too young.
·Then you get a gold watch, a red sports car and go to work. You work forty years until you are young enough to enjoy your retirement.
·Then you go to college and party until you are ready for high school.
·Then you go to grade school and become a little kid. You play and have no responsibilities.
·Then you become a little baby.
·Then you go back into the womb and spend your last nine months floating.
·Then you finish up as a gleam in somebody’s eye.
I challenge you to live like you are going to die tomorrow, while at the same time like you are going to live forever.
