life
There exists in my life a period of time, in which I used to be calculating and assorting my futural years, just for the arrangements of all my prospective down-to-earth action. It was so easy for me to have too many avid intentions in my mind. With these intentions, I was always setting myself inside a cage named PLAN, while I actually find that the cage was shrinking, and its content filled with only struggle —— struggle in the apprehension that my life is too short, because I have never managed to extend a hand or my head out of the railings of PLAN, so as to obtain and achieve more than what I have expected.
在我生命中有那么一段时间,我会为我未来脚踏实地的行动的安排算计并分拨我的年岁。对我来说心里有热切的意欲是很容易的事,而这意欲总会把我送进了一个叫做“计划”的牢笼里,不仅如此,我总是发现这个牢笼越缩越小,同时它的容量里都充满了挣扎——一种在恐慌的中的挣扎,它意味着我的生命太过短暂,因为我从未成功将一只手或头伸出过“计划”的栏杆,从而得到和成就比我企望的要更多的东西。
But lately, I have found that life is surprisingly so long, in which almost all my intentions and wishes can be and will be satisfied. I can imagine inside a cage of ten years what I can do and achieve. Say life has endowed me the first ten years of time from today on, will I finish writing one thousand pieces of articles, if only I write just one article every three days? What if I say that writing one article every day is what I am wild about recently? Obviously, to make great advances in writing within ten years of time, while avoiding a considerable amount of struggle, is out of question. In this way of thinking, even though the PLAN is still a cage, it comes out that this cage can also mean its name POSSIBILITY. Life is so long, in a period of which too many things can be accumulated, and the achievements just accrue to me in such an unexpected way. When I am wishing to reach out of the cage and achieve ahead of PLAN, I always fail; but when I live contently in this cage and do all that I feel like doing, the cage will make all of the possible room for me.
但最近,我发现生命竟然如此之长,在生命中几乎我所有的意欲和愿望都可以并且将会得到满足。我能想象在一个十年大的笼子里我能做并且实现什么。假设生活赐予了我从今天起后的头十年,我会不会写完一千篇文章,只要我每三天才写一篇文章?要是我说一天一篇文章是我最近在热衷于的事呢?显然,在十年之后照样取得巨大的进步,却能省去了很多的挣扎,是没有任何问题的。从这个角度讲,“计划”依然是个笼子,然而这个笼子也可以叫做“可能”。生命是那么长,在其中的一段里,太多东西可以积累起来,而成就则会意想不到地累积到我身上来。当我想要伸出笼子并让成就走在计划之前,我总会失败;但当我满足地在这个笼子里生活,并做任何我想要做的事,这个笼子会为我腾出所有可能的空间。
So, If only you live your life with heart and soul, your life will be just enough for all of your dreams.
所以,如果你全身心地生活,生命对你所有的梦想来说就会是刚好足够。
