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 you”……more“I‘m sorry”……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.

假如生活从头再来假如我能重新生活,我会说得更少，听得更多。我会邀请朋友来吃饭，即使地毯变脏,沙发褪色。我会花时间听我的祖父漫谈他的年轻时光。我再也不会坚持在某个夏天的某一天车窗一定要打开，而我的头发刚刚被喷胶并被做好。我会点燃雕得像朵玫瑰一样的粉红的蜡烛，在它被在存储中融化之前。我会与我的孩子一起坐在草坪上，不用担心草地上的污渍。我会在看电视时哭得更少,笑得更少，而更多的是观察生活。当我生病时,我会上床睡觉，而不是假装如果我不在一天,地球就会停止不动。我再也不会购买任何据说是实用的,牢固的,保证可用一生的东西。我会说更多的“我爱你.”……更多的“对不起.”……可是，我被生活再次击倒，我会抓住每一分钟……看看它,实实在在地看它……好好生活……决不让它重头再来。
