導讀：

人生不是一場競賽。

放慢你的腳步

傾聽沿途的音符

在音樂還沒結束以前。

你曾否看過孩子們騎旋轉木馬

Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?

或聽過雨水拍打地面的聲音呢？

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight

你曾否追逐過飄忽不定的蝴蝶

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

或看著夕陽消失于地平線呢？

You better slow down,

Don't dance so fast.

The music won't last.

音樂不會永遠奏下去

Do you run through each day on the fly

When you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed

With the next hundred chores running through your head?

When you worry and hurry through your day,

當你終日憂心忡忡并馬不停蹄時，

It is like an unopened gift....

就像一份禮物還沒被拆開…...

Thrown away...

If you have known how to compose your life, You have done more than the one who has taken cities and empires.

如果你學會了如何譜寫自己的人生，

you have done a great deal morethan the person who knows how to compose a book.

那么你一點也不比著書立說者甚至攻城略地者遜色。
