7月19日 23:11 What is enough?Recently I overheard a mother and daughter in their last moments together at the airport. They had announced the departure. Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the mother said "I love you and I wish you enough"The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom" They kissed and the daughter left. The mother walked over to the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see she wanted and needed to cry. I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she welcomed me in by asking "Did you ever say goodbye to someone knowing it would be forever?""Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for asking but why is this a forever goodbye?" "I am old and she lives so far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is -- the next trip back will be for my funeral" she said."When you were saying goodbye, I heard you say 'I wish you enough'. May I ask what that means?" She began to smile "That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations. My parents used to say it to everyone".She paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail and she smiled even more. "When we said 'I wish you enough' we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them".Then turning toward me she shared the following as if she were reciting it from memory --I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good-bye.She then began to cry and walked away. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.什么是足够的最近，我无意中听到一个母亲和女儿在飞机场临别前的对话，登机的时间到了，他们站在安检门附近，拥抱在一起。母亲说：“我爱你并且给你足够的祝福。”女儿回答道：“妈妈，我们生活在一起已经足够长，你的爱是我曾经所有的需要。我也送给你足够的祝福，妈妈。”他们相互亲吻，然后女儿走了。母亲走过我坐在的窗户，站在那里，我可以看到她想并且需要哭泣，我尝试着不去打扰她，但是她却用热情欢迎我并对我说：“你是否曾经对一个你明知道将永远不会再看到的人说再见”“是的，“我回答道。请原谅我问为什么是一个永远的再见？”我很老了，而她住得很远很远。我已经面对着未来和事实的挑战，那就是，当她下次回来时将会是参加我的葬礼。”她说到。“当你说再见时，我听到你说 ‘ 我给你足够的祝福’我可以问这是什么意思吗？”她开始微笑，“那是上辈传下来的祝福。我的父母过去说这句话给每个人。她停顿了一下，看起来像是在试图去回忆起什么细节，她的笑意更浓了。“当我们说‘我给你足够的祝福’时，我们是希望其他的人拥有一个充满了美好事情的生活，以此支撑他们。然后她转向我开始朗诵，让我和她一起分享来自她记忆中的祝福我祝福你拥有足够的阳光，保持你愉快的心态。我祝福你拥有足够的雨露去感谢充足的阳光。我祝福你拥有足够的幸福，保持你的灵魂不死。我祝福你拥有足够的痛苦，如此可以使得生活中的很小的快乐成为巨大的欢乐。我祝福你有足够的收获以满足你的渴望。我祝福你失去的足够多以感谢你所有的拥有。我祝福你说足够多的你好以得到你最后的再见。她开始哭泣并且走远了，他们花一分钟去找到一个特殊的人去说这些，你用一个小时去感谢他们，你用一天去爱他们，但是你却要用一生去忘记他们。

昨天结束篮球训练之后，我一边开车回家一边听收音机。从播音员的情绪我可以猜到肯定有什么不好的事情发生。有一架飞机失事了，更悲剧的是，Bob Collins，那个晨间播音员，也丧生于这次事故。在我开车的这40分钟里，听众纷纷来电述说他的真爱和影响。越是听到人们如何诉说BC对身边人的影响，我越是觉得沮丧。因为我想知道为什么我们的文化，总是要等到人去世之后才明白这个人对我们的意义？为什么我们要等到这么迟，人都死了才来捧高他？是的，在回忆某些人的好处之后分享回忆可以减轻我们对失去特别的人的感伤，但既然我们深深地记得这个人，我们的话语却已经传不到最该听到的人耳朵里。就一次，相比起对死的缅怀，我更希望看到对生的庆贺，故事被诉说，饱含热泪，和笑声；当主持人讲完对他或她的爱的颂词，大家纷纷从椅子上站起来，去紧紧地拥抱他们！不能吗？那是多么有意义！生命是如此短暂，短暂到好话来不及被说出来。我多么希望，当葬礼终究来临，我们可以在充分知道人们对他们活着的时候的赞誉的情况下说再见。纯手打，欢迎指正。望采纳。

昨天，我开车回家训练篮球时在听广播。我能分辨出演讲者当时的心境有些不对头。有一场飞机失事。鲍勃柯林斯，一个早晨表演的男人，被谋杀了，使得这个故事变得悲惨万分。在40分钟的驾车过程中，我听出来观众灌输的真情实感。我听到越多关于这个男人如如何影响它周围的事物，就越发泄气。那是因为我想知道作为一个文化，为什么我们等到某些人已经逝去后才会告诉他们对我们意味着什么？为什么我们要等到他们死后才建立对他们的敬仰？而这已经太晚了。是的，在某些人的优良品质的确帮助我们之后才会与他人分享关于他们的记忆。但是，当我们深情得想起这个人时，,我们的话却到不了他们最想听到的耳朵中。仅有一次，我想看到生命的庆典，讲起了故事，眼泪淌下，笑声响起，而不对死亡的聚集；而且在主持人结束他或她深情的颂词后，有51个人从她们的椅子上站起，并给了这个人一个紧紧的拥抱！这不是吗！生命如此短暂，总会留下一些话没说。我多么希望当必然发生的葬礼最终降临时，人们可以清楚地了解对还在世的人的感觉，我想我可以说再见了。不是大神，因为翻译的不怎么好。。
我想我是海啊
I was listening to the radio while I was driving home from coaching basketball yesterday. I could tell right away that there was something wrong by the mood of the speaker. There had been a plane crash. What made the story even more tragic was that Bob Collins，the morning show man, was among those who had been killed. Throughout my 40-minute drive , I listened as genuine love and affection from the audience poured in. The more I listened about how this man had influenced those around him，the more discouraged I became. That was because I wanted to know why we as a culture，wait until somebody has passed away before we tell them how much they mean to us? Why do we wait until it is too late before we build someone up after they have died? Yes， sharing memory after memory about someone's good qualities does help us cope with the sadness of losing someone special to us. But as we lovingly remember this person, our words fall short of the ears that most need to hear them . Just once, instead of a gathering of death，I would like to see a celebration of life, where stories are told, tears fall down，laughter rings out；and as the speaker ends his or her loving tribute(颂词), the person they are 51 rises from the chair and gives them a tight hug! Wouldn??t that be something ! Life is too short to leave kind words unsaid . How I wish that when the inevitable funeral(葬礼) finally comes，we could say goodbye with the knowledge that they knew exactly how people felt about them while they were here on earth我是听收音机，当我开车回家的篮球教练昨天。我可以告诉你，有说话者的情绪有问题。有一架飞机坠毁。什么使这个故事更可悲的是，鲍勃柯林斯，早上节目的人，是那些被杀的。在我的40分钟的车程，我听到从观众的真正的爱和感情投入。我越听了关于他对周围人的影响，就越觉得沮丧。那是因为我想知道为什么我们作为一个文化，等到有人在我们告诉他们知道他们对我们有多么去世了？我们为什么要等到太晚了我们建立的人在他们死之前？是的，共享内存某人的品质好的记忆后确实帮助我们应付失去一个特别的人的悲伤。但当我们深情的记住这个人，我们说的话的耳朵，最需要听到这些。只有一次，而不是死亡的聚会，我希望看到一个生命的庆典，而故事，眼泪掉下来，笑声；当演讲者结束他或她的爱的赞颂（颂词），他们的人从51从椅子上站起来，给他们一个紧紧的拥抱！是吗？这是什么？！生命短暂，说出口的话。我多么希望当不可避免的葬礼（葬礼）终于来了，我们可以说与知识，他们知道人们如何对他们的感觉当他们在地球上再见

If you have a small child in your life, "Letters from Heaven" is a wonderful new tradition you can start for your family that will last for many generations.
如果你家的孩子现在还很小，那么不妨试试一个名叫“天堂的来信”的新创意，而且还能代代相传。
Susie shared the idea on her Facebook page, including two videos of her 18-year-old daughter, Abby, opening the time capsule for the first time.
Susie在她的脸书上分享了这个创意，并且附有两段视频，内容是她18岁的女儿第一次打开时间胶囊。
"This week Abby turned 18. For her 1st birthday we asked all our loved ones to write her a letter to be put in a time capsule that would be opened 17 years later. It is the most precious gift we could have ever given to her. Among the 25 letters are 7 letters from people who have passed on. These include letters from her Grandfather Doug, her uncle John Aldershof, great grandparents and more."
“这个星期Abby就要18岁了，从她一岁开始我们就请所有的亲友给她写一封信，然后放在时间胶囊里面，等到17年以后再打开，这是我们能给她的最珍贵的礼物了，在25封信中有7封信的写信人已经离世，包括她的祖父Doug,她的叔叔John,她的曾祖父母等等”
"We cried and laughed all night. Such a blessing to have birthday wishes from everyone. The time capsule was full of great things for her. If you have a small child in your life, please share this idea. It was incredible."
“整晚我们又哭又笑，在她的生日上收到了每个人的祝福，这个时间胶囊承载的满满的幸福，如果你有小宝宝，不放可以采纳，它将会带来意想不到的美好。”
A doctor entered the hospital in hurry after being called in for an urgent surgery. He answered the call asap, changed his clothes & went directly to the surgery block. He found the boy's father pacing in the hall waiting for the doctor. On seeing him, the dad yelled:
在接到一通紧急手术的电话以后，一名医生急匆匆地走进医院。他一听到电话马上就接了，换了衣服，径直走到手术区域。他看见患者的父亲在走廊焦急地来回踱步等待着医生，一看见医生便咆哮道：
"Why did you take all this time to come? Don't you know that my son's life is in danger? Don't you have any sense of responsibility?"
你怎么这么久才来?知不知道我的儿子危在旦夕?你还有没有点责任心?
The doctor smiled & said:
医生面带微笑说道：
"I am sorry, I wasn't in the hospital & I came as fast as I could after receiving the call...... And now, I wish you'd calm down so that I can do my work"
“我很抱歉当时我不在医院，接到电话以后我也尽可能快的赶来了，现在你需要冷静，我要开始我的工作了。
"Calm down?! What if your son was in this room right now, would you calm down? If your own son dies now what will you do??" said the father angrily
冷静?!如果现在手术室里面的是你的儿子，你会冷静么?如果你自己的儿子要死了，你会怎么做呢?这位父亲生气的说道。
The doctor smiled again & replied: "I will say what Job said in the Holy Book "From dust we came & to dust we return, blessed be the name of God". Doctors cannot prolong lives.
医生依然面带微笑回答道：我会说，约伯在《圣经》里曾说，承蒙上天关爱，我们源于尘土也终将归于尘土。
The surgery took some hours after which the doctor went out happy,"Thank goodness!, your son is saved!" And without waiting for the father's reply he carried on his way running. "If you have any question, ask the nurse!!"
手术进行了几个小时，之后医生高兴地从里面走出来。“感谢上帝，你的儿子得救了!“还没有等父亲回答，他就一路小跑走了“如果你有任何问题，问护士吧。”
"Why is he so arrogant? He couldn't wait some minutes so that I ask about my son's state" Commented the father when seeing the nurse minutes after the doctor left.
几分钟后父亲看到护士抱怨道，“他为什么如此傲慢，也不等个几分钟让我问问儿子的情况”
The nurse answered, tears coming down her face: "His son died yesterday in a road accident, he was in the burial when we called him for your son's surgery. And now that he saved your son's life, he left running to finish his son's burial."
“他的儿子昨天出交通事故去世了，我们打电话让他手术的时候他正好在善后，现在他救好了你儿子就要赶回去参加葬礼。”说着护士留下了眼泪。

这个故事告诉我们：不要轻易评价一个人，因为你了解他们的人生也不知道他们此刻正在经历什么。
Life is full of miracles. They surround us every day. One of these miracles happened to me recently. I was filling my car’s tank at a local gas station. It was only 10 A.M. but I already felt tired. It was a cloudy, gloomy and rainy day and I hadn’t slept well the night before. After I paid for the gas I turned my car towards the main road. I looked right and left then my brain sent the signal for my foot to push on the gas pedal but nothing happened. Shocked, I shook my head to clear it and gazed down at my foot.
生活充满了奇迹，而且每天就在我们身边上演。最近我也碰到的一桩不可思议的事情。当时我正在当地的一家加油站加油，虽说只有上午十点，但我却感觉相当疲惫。那天天气多云阴沉看着要下雨，之前晚上我也没有睡好。付过油钱以后我就准备开车上主路，我左右看看，然后大脑发出信号让脚踩油门，但是什么都没有发生。一阵惶恐，我摇摇头试图清醒，然后低下头看我的脚。
Just as I did, though, a semi-truck roared past my car doing 60 mph. My weary, bleary eyes hadn’t seen it when I had looked just 2 seconds earlier. If I had been pulling out when I should have been my little green car would have been smashed and I would have most likely been killed. I sat there for a long time quietly thanking God for sparing my life before pulling out on the road and heading home. This time both my brain and foot worked perfectly.
就在这时一辆半挂汽车以每小时60英里的速度从我车旁边呼啸而过。两秒前，我还用疲惫的双眼，视线模糊的看了，并没有发现这一情况。但凡当时我的车驶出一点，那现在我的绿色小车肯定被撞了个稀巴烂，我也已经很可能一命呜呼了。我在车里静坐良久，感谢上帝躲过一劫，之后再开车回家，这次我的脑子和脚配合默契。
As I looked back on that moment later I still couldn’t understand it. Did God prevent my brain’s signal from reaching my foot? Did an angel grab my toes to keep them from pressing on the gas? One question kept coming back into my mind as well: why? Why did I get this miracle? Why did God spare my life this day? Finally, I felt the answer forming deep within my heart and mind. I heard the words coming from my soul saying: “You still have more to do. Your work is not done yet!”
之后回忆起那一刻，我还是很费解，难道是上帝阻止了我脑子发给脚的信号?还是有天使拉住了我的脚不让踩油门?还有一个问题在我的脑海中久久萦绕，为什么?是我碰上这样的奇迹。最后答案从我的心理和脑中浮现。我仿佛听到自己的灵魂在说，你还有事情要做，你还有许多事情没有完成。
Richard Bach wrote: “Here is the test to find if your mission on Earth is finished: if you are alive it isn’t.” Wake up each day then knowing that your mission isn’t done yet. You have more love to share, more people to help, more kindness to give. You have one more day to be the miracle God meant for you to be.
理查德巴赫(飞行员，美国著名作家，行吟诗人《海鸥乔纳森》《双翼飞机》《世界上从未有过的地方》《心念的奇迹》等享誉世界的杰作。字里行间常常深刻寄予个人心性，作品以坚定的力量和深邃的隐喻令全球读者心驰神往，被誉为“来自天上的使者”。)曾写过：有个方法可以检验你在世上的任务有没有完成，只要你还活着，那就说明还没有。你要更博爱、施助、仁慈，不久的将来你也会成为奇迹，这些都是上天的美意。
