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。
