Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

Youth means a tempera-mental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals.

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust.

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young.

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.

青春不是年华，而是心境；青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，而是深沉的意志，恢宏的想象，炙热的恋情；青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

青春气贯长虹，勇锐盖过怯弱，进取压倒苟安。如此锐气，二十后生而有之，六旬男子则更多见。年岁有加，并非垂老，理想丢弃，方堕暮年。

岁月悠悠，衰微只及肌肤；热忱抛却，颓废必致灵魂。忧烦，惶恐，丧失自信，定使心灵扭曲，意气如灰。

无论年届花甲，拟或二八芳龄，心中皆有生命之欢乐，奇迹之诱惑，孩童般天真久盛不衰。人人心中皆有一台天线，只要你从天上人间接受美好、希望、欢乐、勇气和力量的信号，你就青春永驻，风华常存。

一旦天线下降，锐气便被冰雪覆盖，玩世不恭、自暴自弃油然而生，即使年方二十，实已垂垂老矣；然则只要树起天线，捕捉乐观信号，你就有望在八十高龄告别尘寰时仍觉年轻。

Love 爱情 

I love you not because of who you are,but because of who I am when I am with you. 
我爱你，不是因为你是一个怎样的人，而是因为我喜欢与你在一起时的感觉。 

No man or woman is worth your tears,and the one who is ,won't make you cry. 
没有人值得你流泪，值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。 

The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them. 
失去某人，最糟糕的莫过于，他近在身旁，却犹如远在天边。 

Never frown,even when you are sad,because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. 
纵然伤心，也不要悉眉不展，因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容。 

To the world you may be one person,but to one person you may be the world. 
对于世界而言，你是一个人；但是对于某人，你是他的整个世界。 

Don't waste your time on a man/woman,who isn't willing to waste their time on you. 
不要为那些不愿在你身上花费时间的人而浪费你的时间。 

Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to,doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have. 
爱你的人如果没有按你所希望的方式爱你，那并不代表他们没有全心全意地爱你。 

Don't try to hard,the best things come when you least expect them to. 
不要着急，最好的总会在最不经意的时候出现。 

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one,so that when we finally meet the person,we will know how to be grateful. 
在遇到梦中人之前，上天也许会安排我们先遇到别人；在我们终于遇见心仪的人时，便应当心存感激。 

Don't cry because it is over,smile because it happened. 
不要因为结束而哭泣，微笑吧，为你的曾经拥有。

If you can ¹⁾keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But ²⁾make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

 

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two ³⁾impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by ⁴⁾knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with ⁵⁾worn-out tools;

 

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of ⁶⁾pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and ⁷⁾sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on !”;

 

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds “worth of distance run”

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And - which is more - you’ll be a Man my son!

 

如果所有人都失去理智，咒骂你，

你仍能保持头脑清醒；

如果所有人都怀疑你，

你仍能坚信自己，让所有的怀疑动摇；

如果你要等待，不要因此厌烦，

为人所骗，不要因此骗人，

为人所恨，不要因此抱恨，

不要太乐观，不要自以为是；

 

如果你是个追梦人--不要被梦主宰；

如果你是个爱思考的人--不要以思想者自居；

如果你遇到骄傲和挫折

把两者当骗子看待；

如果你能忍受你曾讲过的事实

被恶棍扭曲，用于蒙骗傻子，

或者，看着你用毕生去看护的东西被破坏，

俯下身去，用破旧的工具把它修补；

 

如果在你赢得无数桂冠之后，

然后孤注一掷再博一次，

失败过后，东山再起，

不要抱怨你的失败；

如果你能迫使自己，

在别人走后，长久坚守阵地，

在你心中已空荡荡无一物，

只有意志告诉你“坚持！”；

 

如果你与人交谈，能保持风度，

伴王同行，能保持距离；

如果仇敌和好友都不害你；

如果所有人都指望你，却无人全心全意；

如果你花六十秒进行短程跑，

填满那不可饶恕的一分钟--

你就可以拥有一个世界，

这个世界的一切都是你的，

更重要的是

孩子，你是个顶天立地的人。

　　If we could shrink the earth’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:
　　如果我们把全世界的人口按照现有压缩为一个１００人的村子，情况就会如同以下：
　　
　　There would be:
　　57 Asians
　　21 Europeans
　　10 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
　　8 Africans
　　这个村子里有：
　　57人是亚洲人
　　21人是欧洲人
　　14人来自西半球的南、北美洲
　　8人是非洲人
　　
　　52 would be female
　　48 would be male
　　52人是女性
　　48人是男性
　　
　　70 would be non-while
　　30 would be white
　　70人是有色人种
　　30人是白人
　　70 would be non-christian
　　30 would be Christian
　　70人是非基督教徒
　　30人是基督徒
　　
　　89 would be heterosexual
　　11 would be homosexual
　　89人是异性恋者
　　11人是同性恋者
　　
　　6 people would possess 59% of the entire world’s wealth
　　and all 6 would be from the United States.
　　6人拥有全世界59％的财富
　　而且这6人全是美国人
　　
　　80 would live in substandard housing
　　70 would be unable to read
　　50 would suffer from malnutrition
　　1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
　　80人的居住环境不达标准
　　70人是文盲
　　50人苦于营养不良
　　1人濒临死亡边缘；1人正要出生
　　
　　1(yes, only 1) would have a college education
　　１ would own a computer
　　1人（是的，只有１人)会接受大学教育
　　1人拥有电脑
　　
　　When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly apparent.
　　透过这个压缩图来放眼我们的世界，就会明晓接纳他人、谅解以及教育是何等重要。
　　
　　The following is also something to ponder……
　　再从以下角度来想想看……
　　
　　If you woke pup this morning with more health than illness……you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.
　　如果你早上醒来的时候健康无恙……那么，比起活不过这一周的百万人来说，你真是幸运多了。
　　
　　If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation…you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
　　如果你未曾经历过战争的危险、入狱的孤独、严刑的苦楚、饥饿的痛苦……那么，比起世界上５亿人来，你真是幸运多了。
　　
　　If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep… you are richer than 75% of this world.
　　如果你冰箱里有食物，身上有衣服可穿，有屋篷遮蔽，有地方睡觉……那么，比起世界上７５％的人来，你真是富足多了。
　　
　　If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in dish someplace…you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealth.
　　如果你银行中有存款，钱包中也有钱，还能到某处消费习菜……你便跻身在世界上最富有的８％人口当中了。
　　
　　If your parents are still alive and still married…you are very rare, even in the United Stated and Canada.
　　如果你的父母依然健在，而且还在一起生活的话……这可是非常难得的事，即使是在美国与加拿大。
　　
　　Someone once said: What goes around comes around.
　　有人说过：我所付出的终将会回归。
　　
　　So…
　　Work live you don’t need the money.
　　Love like you’ve never been hurt.
　　Dance like nobody’s watching.
　　Sing like nobody’s listening.
　　Live like it’s Heaven on Earth.
　　所以……
　　去工作时，犹如你不执迷于金钱。
　　去爱他人，犹如你从未曾被伤害。
　　去舞蹈吧，犹如无人在一旁观看。
　　去歌唱吧，犹如无人在一边谛听。
　　好好地生活，犹如这里是人间乐土。

转自：zt The Blue Day Book 布拉德里.特雷弗.格里夫 著 每个人都有忧郁的日子。 Everybody has blue days. 那些日子真是惨透了，你觉得心里乱糟糟的、怨气丛生、寂寞、整个人彻底的精疲力竭。 These are miserable days when you feel lousy, grumpy, lonely, and utterly exhausted. 那些日子总会让你感到自己的渺小和微不足道， Days when you feel small and insignificant, 每件事情似乎都够不着边。 when everything seems just out of reach. 你根本无法振作起来。 You can’t rise to the occasion. 根本没有力气重新开始。 Just getting started seems impossible. 在忧郁的日子里，你可能变成偏执狂，觉得每个人都想要吃定你。 On blue days you can become paranoid that everyone is out to get you. 其实情况并不总是那么糟。 This is not always such a bad thing. 你感到灰心、焦虑，可能开始神经质地拼命咬指甲，然后不可救药地陷入一眨眼吃掉三大块巧克力蛋糕的疯狂！ You feel frustrated and anxious, which can induce a nail-biting frenzy that can escalate into a triple-chocolate-mud-cake-eating frenzy in a blink of an eye! 在忧郁的日子里，你会觉得自己在悲伤的海里沉沉浮浮。 On blue days you feel like you’re floating in an ocean of sadness. 不论在什么时候，你总有种想哭的冲动，却不知道为了什么。 You’re about to burst into tears at any moment and you don’t even know why. 最后，你觉得自己犹如行尸走肉，失去生活目标。 Ultimately, you feel like you’re wandering through life without purpose. 你不知道自己还可以撑多久， You’re not sure how much longer you can hang on, 然后你想大喊一声：“谁来一枪把我打死吧！” and you feel like shouting, “Will someone please shout me!” 其实一点小事就让你一天都郁闷难当。 It doesn’t take much to bring on a blue day. 也许只是一觉醒来，没有感觉到或者看到自己最棒的一面， You might just wake up not feeling or looking your best, 发现自己又多了几条皱纹，又重了几斤，或是鼻子上冒出了一个大包。 find some new wrinkles, put on a little weight, or get a huge pimple on your nose. 你可能忘记了约会对象的名字，或是有张可笑的照片被登出来。 You could forget your date’s name or have an embarrassing photograph published. 你或许被人抛弃、离了婚，或是被开除，当众出丑，被刻薄的绰号弄得心乱如麻， You might get dumped, divorced, or fired, make a fool of yourself in public, be afflicted with a demeaning nickname, 或许只因为你得整天顶着一个其丑无比的发型。 or just have a plain old bad-hair day. 也许工作让你痛苦得如坐针毡。 Maybe work is a pain in the butt. 你在强大的压力下顶替他人的位置， You’re under major pressure to fill someone else’s shoes, 你的老板对你百般挑剔， your boss is picking on you, 办公室里的每一个人都让你发疯。 and everyone in the office is driving you crazy. 你可能会头疼欲裂， You might have a splitting headache, 或重心不稳跌个正着，口臭、牙痛、不停放屁、口干舌燥， or a slipped dish, bad breath, a toothache, chronic gas, dry lips, 或是指甲长到肉里头了。 or a nasty ingrown toenail. 不管什么原因，你确定上面有人不喜欢你。 Whatever the reason, you’re convinced that someone up there doesn’t like you. 唉，该怎么办，到底该怎么办呢？ Oh what to do, what to do? 嗯，你可能跟大部分人一样， Well, if you’re like most people, 随便找个东西躲起来,以为事情会自行解决。 you’ll hide behind a flimsy belief that everything will sort itself out. 结果你得花掉下半辈子的时间回头看， Then you’ll spend the rest of your life looking over your shoulder, 等着一次有一次重蹈覆辙。 waiting for everything to go wrong all over again. 最后你会变成一个易怒的、愤世嫉俗的，或者是 一个可怜兮兮的、哭哭啼啼的受害者。 All the while becoming crusty and cynical or a pathetic, sniveling victim. 最终你绝望地躺在地上，祈求地球将你吞没，或是沉迷在比利.乔的蓝调音乐中不能自拔。 Until you get so depressed that you lie down and beg the earth to swallow you up or, even worse, become addicted to Billy Joel songs. 这的确很蠢， This is crazy, 因为你只能年轻一次，而且绝对不可能老两次。 because you’re only young once and you’re never old twice

We all laugh. We all hurt. We all make mistakes. We all dream. That's life. It's a journey. Please follow these rules to make the journey of your life a journey of joy!

You're never too heavy for your mother to bear. But try, as you get older, to swap roles once in a while. 母亲从不觉得孩子是负累。不过，在你长大以后，不妨偶尔试着交换一下角色。

**　Take the word 'family'. Strike out the 'm' for mother and the 'y' for youth--and all you have left is 'fail'. 看看“家庭”（family）这个字眼吧。划去代表“母亲”（ mother）的“m”和代表“青春”（youth）的“y”——你就只剩下了“失败”（fail）了。

**　A mother is one through whom God whispers love to his little children. And, yes, sometimes that voice can rise above a whisper, but only because you're not listening  .

上帝通过母亲向孩子们悄声传达他的爱。还有，对了，有时这声音很响亮，只因你没有倾听才认为“爱”是在悄悄传达。

**　A man loves his sweetheart the most, his wife the best, but his mother the longest.男人爱情人最痴，爱妻子最深，爱母亲最久。

 

**　If a man loves his mother, he will always love his wife. 爱母亲的男人，也将会永远爱妻子。

**　The way to your mather's heart is to eat her food with relish. 能让母亲快乐的方法，就是有滋味地吃掉她做的食物。 17he@com

**　A mother's love is like a circle. It has no begining and no ending.母爱就像一个圆。没有起点，也没有终点。

**　A mother understands what a child does not say.母亲最懂孩子心。

 

**　Real mothers know that a child's growth is not measured by height or years or grads. It is marked by the progression of Mama to Mummy to Mother. 真正的母亲都知道，孩子的成长不是用身高、年龄或年级来衡量的。它是由孩子从“妈妈”到“妈咪”到“母亲”的称呼来记录的。

**　A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take. 母亲可以取代一切，母亲的地位却无人能够替代。

**　A mother is a person who if she is not there when you get home from school you wouldn't know how to get your dinner, and you wouldn't feel like eating it anyway. 当你放学回家的时候，如果母亲不在家里，你就不知道该吃些什么，或者什么都不想吃。

**　Of all the things that come in numbers--plenty of rainbows, stars in the sky, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins--you have but one mother. 你可以有众多的事物--缤纷的彩虹，闪耀的星星，兄弟姐妹，叔伯姨舅，但是你只有一个妈妈。

拥有了一份好的工作、一个好的身体、一笔大大的财富，但你仍然感受不到幸福快乐？这是为什么？答案只有一个字，爱。没有爱的人生好比没有灵魂的躯体。

爱给予了生活的意义。幸运的人得到爱并能让那爱的火花永远燃烧，这不是一天或几个月的事。爱是生活，生活也是爱。

Suppose you have everything; a good job, good health, good reputation, good relationships and lot of money to spend. But still there is something missing from your life. Guess what? The LOVE. It is not something which you should ignore. Life without love is just like body without soul.

Love gives meaning to life as without love life is meaningless. Lucky is the person who gets love and keeps the flames of love burning for ever. It is not a matter of days or months. Love is for life and life is for love.

Short term love encounters are not helpful at all. Be sincere with your body and soul. Indulge in serious life long loving relationship and live a healthy, happy and joyful life. Www@17He@com
It is easy to fell in love but difficult to keep the flames of love burning. Before indulging in serious long term love relationships be sure that the person you love is also sincere with you. A selfish person can make your life miserable. If this is the case with you then try to get rid of that person as soon as possible.

Most people do not give importance to their love life as they give importance to their professional life. In most cases, people sacrifice their love life at the cost of their profession. This is a bad choice which ruins the whole life. A sensible balance between the two is necessary in order to enjoy life in its entirety. Do not deprive yourself of the love you need.

People part their ways after living together for years and years. Though this looks strange but is the obvious result of ignoring the genuine complaints and grievances of the other. Sometimes a sincere apology, gentle touch, or a friendly kiss is enough to put your love life on track. However, when deep differences develop between the two then professional consultation is necessary. Do everything to bring back love to your life, if it is lost.

Where there is great love, there are always miracles.
哪里有真爱存在，哪里就有奇迹。
Love is like a butterfly. It goes where it pleases and it pleases where it goes.
爱情就像一只蝴蝶，它喜欢飞到哪里，就把欢乐带到哪里。
If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk forever in my garden.
假如每次想起你我都会得到一朵鲜花，那么我将永远在花丛中徜徉。

Within you I lose myself, without you I find myself wanting to be lost again.
有了你，我迷失了自我。失去你，我多么希望自己再度迷失。

At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet.
每一个沐浴在爱河中的人都是诗人。

Look into my eyes - you will see what you mean to me.
看看我的眼睛，你会发现你对我而言意味着什么。
Distance makes the hearts grow fonder.
距离使两颗心靠得更近。
I need him like I need the air to breathe.
我需要他，正如我需要呼吸空气。

Nature's Diary:Stray Birds

大自然日记:飞鸟集

My thoughts shimmer with these shimmering leaves and my heart sings with the touch of this sunlight; my life is glad to be floating with all things into the blue of space, into the dark of time.

“How far are you from me, O Fruit?”

“I am hidden in your heart, O Flower.”

“你离我有多远啊，果实？”

“我藏在你心里啊，花朵。”

The fish in the water is silent, the animal on the earth is noisy, the bird in the air is singing, but Man has in him the silence of the sea, the noise of the earth

and the music of the air.

水里的游鱼是沉默的，陆地上的动物是喧闹的，空中的飞鸟是歌唱着的；但是人类却兼有了海里的沉默，地上的喧闹，与空中的音乐。

The trees come up to my window like the yearning voice of the dumb earth.

绿树长到我的窗前，仿佛是喑哑的大地发出的渴望之声。

If you shed tears when you miss the sun, you also miss the stars.

如果你因错过太阳而流泪，那么你也会错过群星。

Tiny grass, your steps are small, but you possess the earth under your tread.

小草呀，你的脚印虽微不足道，但是你拥有你足下的土地。

My day is done, and I am like a boat drawn on the beach, listening to the dance-music of the tide in the evening.

日间的工作结束了，于是我像一只被拖曳在海滩上的小船，聆听着晚潮的舞曲。

有句话说：女人是水做的。是的，眼泪似乎是女人的专利。无论是伤心的泪，委屈的泪还是激动的泪，女人的眼泪是不受责备的。也许你不明白为什么女人天生爱流泪，那么请听上帝的解释……

　　A little boy asked his mother "why are you crying?"

　　"Because I'm a woman," she told him.

　　"I don't understand," he said.

　　His mum just hugged him and said, "and you never will."

　　Later the little boy asked his father, "why does mother seem to cry for no reason?"

　　"All women cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

　　The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry.

　　Finally he put in a call to god; and when god got on the phone, he asked, "god, why do women cry so easily?"

　　God said: "when I made the woman she had to be special. I made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world; yet, gentle enough to give comfort."

　　"I gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her children."

　　"I gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. "

　　"I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her very badly."

　　"I gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart."

　　"I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly."

　　"And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed."

　　"You see: the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair."

　　"The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart and the place where love resides."

however mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.it is not so bad as you are.it looks poorest when you are richest.the fault-finder will find faults in paradise.love your life,poor as it is.you may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.the setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man"s abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.i do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.the town"s poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.may be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,turn the old,return to them.things do not change;we change.sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

 

不论你的生活如何卑贱，你要面对它生活，不要躲避它，更别用恶言咒骂它。它不像你那样坏。你最富有的时候，倒是看似最穷。爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点。你要爱你的生活，尽管它贫穷。甚至在一个济贫院里，你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候。夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上，像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前，积雪同在早春融化。我只看到，一个从容的人，在哪里也像在皇宫中一样，生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想。城镇中的穷人，我看，倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活。也许因为他们很伟大，所以受之无愧。大多数人以为他们是超然的，不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活，他们是毫不超脱的，毋宁是不体面的。视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧！不要找新的花样，无论是新的朋友或新的衣服，来麻烦你自己。找旧的，回到那里去。万物不变，是我们在变。你的衣服可以卖掉，但要保留你的思想

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.

Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.

When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.

Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,

"Richness, can you take me with you?"

Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."

Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"

"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.

Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."

"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"

Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,

Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"

"It was Time," Knowledge answered.

"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"

Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is."

爱和时间

从前有一个岛，所有的情感都住在那里：幸福、悲伤、知识和所有其它的，爱也不例外。一天，所有的情感听说小岛即将沉没，因此建造小船，纷纷离开，除了爱。
 
爱是唯一留下来的，因为它希望能坚持到最后一刻。

小岛即将沉没了，爱决定请求帮助。

富有驾着一艘大船从爱身边经过，爱说，

“富有，你能带上我么？”

富有回答说：“不行，我的船上载满金银财宝，没有你的地方。”

虚荣坐在漂亮的小船中从爱身边驶过，爱问：“虚荣，你能帮助我么？”

虚荣说：“不行，你全身湿透，会弄脏我的船。”

悲伤的船靠近了，爱问：“悲伤，请带我走吧。”

“哦。。。爱，我太难过了，想一个人呆着。”

幸福经过爱的身边，它太开心了，根本没听见爱在呼唤。

突然，一个声音喊道：“来，爱，我带你走。” 声音来自“年老”。爱太高兴了，甚至忘了问他们即将去何方。当他们来到岸上，年老自己离开了。爱突然意识到“年老”给了它多大的帮助。

于是，爱问另一位老者--知识：“谁帮助了我？”

知识说：“是时间。”

“时间？”爱问：“但是时间为什么帮助我？”

知识睿智地微笑道：“因为只有时间了解爱的价值。”
