Living life over

如果有來生，我會少說多聽；如果有來生，我會請朋友到家裡吃飯；如果有來生，我會聽祖父嘮叨他的青年時代……，如果有來生，你會怎樣？
　　
' s# |: y$ E+ [. k. {　　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.

- |+ K3 N# s3 i1 O: B　　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 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 theearth 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 lifetime.

　　如果有來生，我會請朋友來家裡吃飯, 即使我家只有皺巴巴的地毯和褪了色的沙發;

" Q# S; N1 [7 A$ u; O4 e* T　　如果有來生，我不會再堅持大熱天的開著車窗, 爾只為炫耀我梳理得油光可鑒的髮型;

　　如果有來生，我會選擇燃盡那根雕了玫瑰的紅蠟燭, 而不是任由它在儲藏室裡慢慢化掉;

　　如果有來生，我會在真正的生活裡淚流滿面或是開懷大笑--而不是像現在一樣對著電視；
　　
* e5 `% [6 p( k; _3 i8 o* D　　如果有來生，我會在生病的時候選擇上床休息, 爾不是忙碌得好像一天沒有我地球就會停止轉動;
! {# O- Z6 X# W' a1 P　　
　　如果有來生，我不會再去買那些只是看起來實用, 耐髒和保質期長的東西;
　　
　　如果真的還有來生的話，我會向更多的人說我愛你, 說更多的對不起...最重要的是, 只要給我一個來生, 我會緊緊抓住生命的每一分鐘...看著它, 真正去認識它...活出每一分鐘的精采...永不放過我所擁有的每一分鐘
