威斯敏斯特教堂的一段碑文,很多人后悔没有早点看到
When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits,I dreamed of changing theworld.
As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country. But it, too, seemed immovable.
As I grewinto my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.
And now, as Ilie on my death bed, I suddenly realize:
If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.From their in spiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country,and who knows, I may have even changed the world.
译文是:
————收敛自己的脾气,经常要保持沉默,因为冲动会做下让自己无法挽回的事情。
————做一个简单的人,踏实而务实。不沉溺幻想,更不庸人自扰。
————保持头脑清醒,明白自己渺小,切忌自我陶醉。炮打出头鸟,凡事不要强出头,因为你其实并没有想象中的强!
————不要太高估自己在集体中的力量,因为当你选择离开时,就会发现即使没有你,太阳照常升起!
————要知道别人光鲜的背后有着太多不为人知的痛苦,自己不喜欢的人,报之以微笑,默默为他祝福;对喜欢的人,真情流露、真诚相待就好。
