Not at all easy, but worth trying.

这并非易事,但仍值得一试。


A friend of mine turned 68.

有位朋友过了68岁,

I asked him what's changing?

我问他有何改变?

He sent me following lines:

以下是他的回文:


Yes, I am changing.

喔!有的,我正在改变。

After loving my parents, my siblings, my spouse, my children, my friends,now I have started loving myself.

以前我爱父母、手足、配偶、孩子、朋友,但现在我已开始爱我自己。


Yes, I am changing.

I just realized that I am not “Atlas”. The world does not rest on my shoulders.

我才了解到,我不是阿特拉斯,其实我扛不起整个世界。


Yes, I am changing.

I now stopped bargaining with vegetable and fruit vendors. After all, a few dollars more is not going to burn a hole in my pocket but it might help the poor fellow save for his daughter’s school fees.

我不再跟卖菜和卖水果的小贩讨价还价。多付几块钱对我没什么影响,但有可能帮这个穷人存下他女儿的学费。


Yes, I am changing.

是的,我正在改变。

I pay the taxi driver without waiting for the change. The extra money might bring a smile on his face. After all he is toiling much harder for a living than me.

付计程车资时我不再等着司机找零钱,给他点小费或许会换来一个微笑。毕竟他为了生计比我辛苦多了。


Yes, I am changing.

是的,我正在改变。

I stopped telling the elderly that they've already narrated that story many times. After all, the story makes them walk down the memory lane and relive the past.

我不再对老人家说,这个故事你已讲很多次了。 毕竟这个故事让他们重拾回忆,重温往事。


Yes, I am changing.

的确,我正在改变。

I've learnt not to correct people even when I know they are wrong. After all, the onus of making everyone perfect is not on me. Peace is more precious than perfection.

我已学会了不再纠正人们,即使是他们的错。毕竟,让每个人都完美,并非是我的责任。能让事情和平完美更值得珍惜。


Yes, I am changing. 

是的,我正在改变。

I give compliments freely and generously. After all it's a mood enhancer not only for the recipient, but also for me.

我自由且大方地给予赞美。毕竟这不仅让对方心情变好,自己也受益。


Yes, I am changing.

是的,我正在改变。

I've learnt not to bother about a crease or a spot on my shirt. After all, personality speaks louder than appearances.

我学会了不要为我衬衫上的褶痕或斑点而烦恼。毕竟,人格胜于外表。


Yes, I am changing.

是的,我开始在改变。

I walk away from people who don't value me. After all, they might not know my worth, but I do.

我远离那些看不起我的人,毕竟他们不知道我的价值,但我却清楚。


Yes, I am changing.

是的,我正在改变。

I have learnt that it's better to drop the ego than to break a relationship. After all, my ego will keep me aloof whereas with relationships I will never be alone.

我已学会了不要为坚持己见而破坏了关系。毕竟,自我会让我孤身一人,而人际关系让我永不孤单。


Yes, I am changing. 

是的,我正在改变。

I've learnt to live each day as if it's the last. After all, it might be the last .

我已学会把每一天当成最后一天。毕竟,真的有可能是最后一天。


Yes, I am changing.

是的,我正在改变。

I am doing what makes me happy.

我正在做让我快乐的事。

After all, I am responsible for my happiness, and I owe it to me.

毕竟,我有责任让自己快乐,这是我对自己应负的责任。
