如果我能再活一次 一切都会不一样

　　生病的时候我就卧床休息，不会假装自己一天不工作，地球就会停止转动。

　　我要将雕成玫瑰花状的粉红蜡烛点上，而不让它在闲置中溶化。

　　我要自己少说话，多听别人说。

　　我要请朋友来家里吃饭，地毯弄脏了，沙发褪色了又何妨?

　　我要在“讲究”的客厅里吃爆玉米花。倘若有人在壁炉生火带出了炉灰，我不会操那么多闲心。

　　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，看生活我要多哭一点，多笑一点。

　　我买东西不会只看它很实用，不显脏，或能保证用一辈子。我不会在盼望中度过9个月妊娠期，我要珍惜每一刻，要意识到体内生长的神奇是我今生帮助上帝创造奇迹的惟一机会。

　　孩子们毛手毛脚地亲我，我决不会说：“等等。先去洗手洗脸，准备吃饭。”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。

　　不为小事烦心。不担心谁不喜欢我，谁比我富有，或者谁在干什么。让我们珍惜与真心关爱我们的人之间那份感情。让我们多想想上帝赐予我们的福分。

　　多想想我们每天做了哪些有益于自己思想、身体、感情和精神的事。

　　人生短暂，不可虚度。每个人只能活一回，然后生命就消失了。祝愿大家生活幸福。

　　i would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.

　　i would have talked less and listened more.

　　i would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.

　　i would have eaten the popcorn in the “good” living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.

　　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.
