曾有人给我推荐一本书《Chicken Soup for the Soul》。中文译成《心灵的鸡汤》,很恰如其分的翻译。我们这些人的心灵的确需要一些营养了。我很喜欢书中的一段关于这个问题的回答,原文摘录,与大家分享:
When I was a child in Austria and everything was taken care of for me and I was nurtured by my parents, that was the best life of my life.
When I was going to school and learning the things I know today, that was the best time of my life.
When I got my first job and had responsibilities and got paid for my efforts, that was the best time of my life.
When I met my wife and fell in love, that was the best time of my life.
The Second World War came, and my wife and I had to flee Austria to save our lives. When we were together and safe on a ship bound for North America, that was the best time of my life.
When we came to Canada and started a family, that was the best time of my life.
When I was a young father, watching my children grow up, that was the best time of my life.
And now, I am seventy-nine years old. I have my health, I feel good and I am in love with my life just as when first met. This is the best time of my life.
