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 instorage.
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 sorry"...but mostly,given anther shots at life.
I would seiza every minute...look at it and really see it...live it...and never give it back.

如果我能再活一回，我要少说多听

我要请朋友来家里吃饭，地毯弄脏了，沙发褪色了又何妨？

我要从从容容听爷爷讲他年轻时候的事情。
　　
我决不会因为夏天头发刚刚梳理过、喷过发胶，就一定要把车窗玻璃摇起来。

我会点燃那支雕成玫瑰状的蜡烛,而不让它在尘封中熔化
　　
我要和孩子们一起坐在草坪上，不担心衣服上会染上草渍。
　　
看电视我要少哭一点，少笑一点，过生活我要多哭一点，多笑一点
　
如果我生病了，我一定要躺在床上休息，而不是强撑着好像地球离开我就不转了一样　

我买东西不会只看它很实用，不显脏，或能保证用一辈子。
　　
我要更多地说“我爱你”……“对不起”……但总的来说，如果再让我活一回，我要把握好分分秒秒，留心生活，真正关注生活，品味生活，决不使岁月蹉跎。
