一封父亲写给儿子的信
张文质
我亲爱的儿子：
哪天你看到我日渐老去，身体也渐渐不行，请耐着性子试着了解我„„
如果我吃得脏兮兮，如果我不会穿衣服„„有耐性一点„„你记得我曾花多久时间教你这些事吗？
如果，当我一再重复说同样的事情„„不要打断我，听我说。你小时候，我必须一遍又一遍地讲着同样的故事，直到你静静睡着„„
当我不想洗澡时，不要羞辱我，也不要责骂我„„你记得小时候我曾编出多少理由，只为了哄你洗澡„„
当你看到我对新科技的无知，给我一点时间，不要挂着嘲弄的微笑看着我„„ 我曾教了你多少事情啊„„如何好好地吃、好好地穿„„如何面对你的生命„„ 如果交谈中我忽然失忆，不知所云，给我一点时间回想„„如果我还是无能为力，请不要紧张„„对我而言重要的不是对话，而是能跟你在一起，和你的倾听„„
当我不想吃东西时，不要勉强我。我清楚知道该什么时候进食。
当我的腿不听使唤，扶我一把„„如同我曾扶着你踏出你人生的第一步。
当哪天我告诉你不想再活下去„„请不要生气„„总有一天你会了解„„
试着了解我已是风烛残年，来日可数。
有一天你会发现，即使我有许多过错，我总是尽我所能要给你最好的。
当我靠近你时，不要觉得感伤、生气或无奈。你要紧挨着我，如同我当初帮着你展开人生一样地了解我，帮我„„
扶我一把，用爱跟耐心帮我走完人生。我将用微笑和我始终不变、无边无际的爱来回报你。
永远爱你的父亲

感 恩 之 心
周建莹
一位19岁少女，3年前患结肠癌做了手术，3年后癌细胞全身扩散再次被推进手术室，医生说她只有十几天的生命。绝望中，她想起了爱她的人们：亲友、学校和社会为家境贫穷的她，3次手术付出了10多万元费用。她想到了回报：“妈妈，如果我死了，想捐献身上有用的器官，去帮助那些需要的人。”她向自己的母亲提出请求。
母亲的心碎了：“女儿啊，癌细胞已全身扩散，所有器官都被破坏不能用了。”她黯然无语。
然而，她在病痛中却显示了前所未有的坚韧。数天后，又向父亲提出：“我的器官不 1
能用了，但眼角膜能用，遗体可送医院或学校作研究。我只有这个心愿，求你们答应我。”
为了她的这一心愿，父母亲为这事开始四方奔走。也就从那天起，她的精神好了许多。“生命只是一个过程，不在乎长短，关键是要做点事，做对社会有益的事。”因着这个信念，她对生命的价值有了超越年龄的感悟，脸上有一种圣洁的光彩。
她的坚持终于得到回报，心中的愿望可以了却：一家眼科医院同意做角膜移植手术；一所医科大学接受遗体捐赠。对她来说，听到这消息，无疑比任何药物都有效，她的疼痛似乎有所减轻，竟不用再打止痛针了。
两天后，19岁的她满含着爱心、深怀着希望安详地离开了人世。她以自己年轻的生命、独特的方式感恩社会给她的爱，回报大家对她的帮助。一个普普通通的女孩，用纯洁的感情、朴素的行动告诉人们：生命在于它的深度，而不在于它的长度；生命的境界在于感恩和尊重，生命的意义在于奉献和回报。
感恩，不仅是一种心态，更是一种处世之道和做人的境界。我们单位有一位已退休的厨师，那时退休工资由单位发放，60余岁的他替80余岁的师父领了工资后，坐车往师父家送。师父子孙满堂，这事其实完全可由子女代劳。以后工资在银行提取了，但这位70岁的徒弟还是每月坐车去探望90岁的师父。他说：“一朝为师，一生为父。”这种朴素的感恩之情完全摈弃了功利之心。
一位低调的老人无偿献血，默默救活了一个孩子。那是24年前，一个刚出生的男婴患黄疸型RH溶血症而生命垂危，那位上海建筑工人无私捐献出500毫升鲜血，婴儿全身换血后，小生命得救了。24年后，为了一声“谢谢”，一家三口千方百计、长久寻觅给了孩子第二次生命的“上海叔叔”。为了24年的感激，全家特地从苏州赶来上海面谢恩人；为了铭记恩人张瑞林，父母给孩子取名张瑞德；为了让孩子懂得感恩，妈妈的叮嘱24年没有中断：“你这条命是上海好心叔叔给的，长大了要好好报答他！”
感恩，来自对生活的爱与希望，它正越来越多地感动着社会。一位受资助的外地农村学生，工作后的第一个月，便赶赴上海探望资助人，“我有钱了，终于可以来见您了！”他懂事地说；一位下肢高位截瘫的残疾人，受到丛飞6年7万元的资助，终圆大学、文学创作梦，如今也像丛飞一样资助着6位贫困儿童；在初中老师关爱帮助下重拾自信、在乡亲们和社会资助下，考上北大的穷困生刘默涵，穷且益坚，打工、筹款，建立“默涵助学金”，资助了37名贫困学生；一位朴实农村老汉在受到空姐热情、周到、细心的服务后，激动得老泪纵横，竟欲下跪表示感谢，感动了数以万计的网民；感恩社会，是上海208万人的志愿者队伍，是数十万之众的各类社会服务团体，是骨髓库6.1万的自愿捐赠人，是支撑起全市临床医用血量一半江山的无偿献血者。一颗颗感恩的心，温暖了为之付出无数爱意的心。
“滴水之恩，当以涌泉相报。”“投我以木桃，报之以琼瑶。”感恩，是我们中华民族的优良传统。很多时候，感恩并不在于回报什么，而是在自己与社会、他人之间创造一种互相影响的友善氛围：我们在肯定别人的同时，也升华了自己。感恩，是一种品德，是一种境界；感恩，是对生命恩赐的领略，是对现在拥有的珍惜，是对陌路关爱的震颤„„学会感恩，就是要学会懂得尊重他人，对他人的帮助时时怀一颗感恩之心。

第二篇：父亲写给儿子的信
父亲写给儿子的信
写这备忘录给你，基于三个原因：
（一）人生福祸无常，谁也不知可以活多久，有些事情还是早点说好。
（二）我是你的父亲，我不跟你说，没有人会跟你说。
（三）这备忘录里记载的，都是我经过惨痛失败得回来的体验，可以为你的成长省回不少冤枉路。
以下，便是你在人生中要好好记住的事：
（一）、对你不好的人，你不要太介怀。在你一生中，没有人有义务要对你好，除了我和你妈妈。至于那些对你好的人，你除了要珍惜、感恩外，也请多防备一点，因为每个人做每件事总有原因，他对你好，未必真的是喜欢你，请你必须搞清楚，而不必太快将对方看作真朋友。
（二）、没有人是不可替代的，没有东西是必须拥有的。看透了这一点，将来你身边的人不再要你，或失去了世间最爱的一切时，也应该明白，这并不是什么大不了的事。
（三）、生命是短暂是，今日还在浪费着生命，明日会发觉生命已远离你了。因此，愈早珍惜生命，你享受生命的日子也愈多，与其盼望长寿，倒不如早点儿珍惜。
（四）、世界上并没有最爱这回事，爱情只是一种霎时的感觉，而这种感觉绝对会随时日、心境而改变。如果你的所谓最爱离开你，请耐心地等候一下，让时日慢慢冲洗，让心灵慢慢沉淀，你的苦就会慢慢淡化。不要过分憧憬爱情的美，不要过分夸大失恋的悲。
(五)、虽然很多成功人士都没有受过很多教育，但并不等于不用功读书就一定可以成功。你学到的知识，就是你拥有的武器。人，可以白手兴家，但不可以手无寸铁。谨记！
（六）、我不会要求你供养我下半辈子。同样地，我也不会供养你的下半辈子。当你长大到可以独立的时候，我的责任已经完结。以后，你要坐巴士还是奔驰，吃鱼翅还是粉丝，都要自己负责。
（七）、对人要好，但不能期待人家对你好。你怎样对人，并不代表人家就会怎样对你。如果看不透这一点，只会徒添不必要的烦恼。
（八）、我买了20年六合彩，还是一穷二白，这证明人要发达，还是要努力工作才可以，世界上并没有免费的午餐。
（九）、亲人只有一次的缘分，无论这辈子我和你会相处多久，也请好好珍惜共聚的时光；下辈子，无论爱与不爱，都不会再见。
第三篇：父亲写给儿子的信
父亲写给儿子的信
香港电台知名主持人梁继璋曾给儿子写过一封信，这封信很快流传于各大网站，很多父亲看后感触很深，我觉得不只给儿子，其实适合所有人看！我们的80后90后生活在一个饭来张口衣来伸手的环境，基本上要什么父母都会尽力满足，完全变成了一个子为父纲的社会。这些孩子没有压力，不知道委屈，不懂得谦逊，一出社会遇到不顺就要寻死觅活，这是我们独生子女政策和教育改革的双重失败的体现。
下辈子，无论爱与不爱，都不会再见----送给儿子的备忘录
我儿：写这备忘录给你，基于三个原则：
（一）人生福祸无常，谁也不知可以活多久，有些事情还是早一点说好。
（二）我是你的父亲，我不跟你说，没有人会跟你说。
（三）这备忘录??记载的，都是我经过惨痛失败得回来的体验，可以为你的成长省回不少冤枉路。
以下，便是你在人生中要好好记住的事：
（一）对你不好的人，你不要太介怀，在你一生中，没有人有义务要对你好，除了我和你妈妈。至于那些对你好的人，你除了要珍惜、感恩外，也请多防备一点，因为，每个人做每件事，总有一个原因，他对你好，未必真的是因为喜欢你，请你必须搞清楚，而不必太快将对方看作真朋友。
（二）没有人是不可代替，没有东西是必须拥有。看透了这一点，将来你身边的人不再要你，或许失去了世间上最爱的一切时，也应该明白，这并不是什么大不了的事。
（三）生命是短暂的，今日你还在浪费着生命，明日会发觉生命已远离你了。因此，愈早珍惜生命，你享受生命的日子也愈多，与其盼望长寿，倒不如早点享受。
（四）世界上并没有最爱这回事，爱情只是一种霎时的感觉，而这感觉绝对会随时日、心境而改变。如果你的所谓最爱离开你，请耐心地等候一下，让时日慢慢冲洗，让心灵慢慢沉淀，你的苦就会慢慢淡化。不要过分憧憬爱情的美，不要过分夸大失恋的悲。
（五）虽然很多有成就的人士都没有受过很多教育，但并不等于不用功读书，就一定可以成功。你学到的知识，就是你拥有的武器。人，可以白手兴家，但不可以手无寸铁，谨记！
（六）我不会要求你供养我下半辈子，同样地我也不会供养你的下半辈子，当你长大到可以独立的时候，我的责任已经完结。以后，你要坐巴士还是Benz（奔驰），吃鱼翅还是粉丝，都要自己负责。
（七）你可以要求自己守信，但不能要求别人守信，你可以要求自己对人好，但不能期待人家对你好。你怎样对人，并不代表人家就会怎样对你，如果看不透这一点，你只会徒添不必要的烦恼。
（八）我买了十多二十年六合彩，还是一穷二白，连三奖也没有中，这证明人要发达，还是要努力工作才可以，世界上并没有免费午餐。
（九）亲人只有一次的缘分，无论这辈子我和你会相处多久，也请好好珍惜共聚的时光，下辈子，无论爱与不爱，都不会再见。

第五篇：父亲写给三岁儿子的信
Dear gogo, You’re only nearly three years old, and at this point in your life you can't read, much less understand what I’m going to try to tell you in this letter.But I've been thinking a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, about my life so far as I reflect on what I've learned, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the trials that you will face in the coming years.You won't be able to understand this letter today, but someday, when you're ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you.You are young, and life has yet to take its toll on you, to throw disappointments and heartaches and loneliness and struggles and pain into your path.You have not been worn down yet by long hours of thankless work, by the slings and arrows祸殃（指不利的因素、事态）of everyday life.For this, be thankful.You are at a wonderful stage of life.You have many wonderful stages of life still to come, but they are not without their costs and perils.I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I've learned.As with any advice, take it with a grain of salt.What works for me might not work for you.Life Can Be Cruel There will be people in your life who won't be very nice.They'll tease you because you're different, or for no good reason.They might try to bully you or hurt you.There's not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you, who actually care about you, who make you feel good about yourself.When you find friends like this, hold on to them, treasure them, spend time with them, be kind to them, love them.There will be times when you are met with disappointment instead of success.Life won't always turn out the way you want.This is just another thing you'll have to learn to deal with.But instead of letting these things get you down, push on.Accept disappointment and learn to persevere, to pursue your dreams despite pitfalls.Learn to turn negatives into positives, and you'll do much better in life.You will also face heartbreak and abandonment by those you love.I hope you don't have to face this too much, but it happens.Again, not much you can do but to heal, and to move on with your life.Let these pains become stepping stones to better things in life, and learn to use them to make you stronger.But Be Open to life Anyway Yes, you'll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life … but don't let that close you to new things.Don't retreat from life, don't hide or wall yourself off.Be open to new things, new experiences, new people.You might get your heart broken 10 times, but find the most wonderful woman the 11th time.If you shut yourself off from love, you'll miss out on that woman, and the happiest times of your life.You might get teased and bullied and hurt by people you meet … and then after meeting dozens of jerks, find a true friend.If you close yourself off to new people, and don't open your heart to them, you'll avoid pain … but also lose out on meeting some incredible people, who will be there during the toughest times of your life and create some of the best times of your life.You will fail many times but if you allow that to stop you from trying, you will miss out on the amazing feeling of success once you reach new heights with your accomplishments.Failure is a stepping stone to success.Life Isn't a Competition 3 You will meet many people who will try to outdo胜过you, in school, in college, at work.They'll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, cooler gadgets.To them, life is a competition — they have to do better than their peers to be happy.Here's a secret: Life isn't a competition.It's a journey.If you spend that journey always trying to impress others, to outdo others, you’re wasting your journey.Instead, learn to enjoy the journey.Make it a journey of Happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love.Don't worry about having a nicer car or house or anything material, or even a better-paying job.None of that matters a whit, and none of it will make you happier.You'll acquire these things and then only want more.Instead, learn to be satisfied with having enough — and then use the time you would have wasted trying to earn money to buy those things … use that time doing things you love.Find your passion, and pursue it doggedly固执地;顽强地；坚持不懈地.Don't settle for a job that pays the bills.Life is too short to waste on a job you hate.Love Should Be Your Rule 4 If there's a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: Love.It might sound corny平淡的;过时的,陈旧的, I know … but trust me, there's no better rule in life.Some would live by the rule of success.Their lives will be stressful, unhappy and shallow.Others would live by the rule of selfishness — putting their needs above those of others.They will live lonely lives, and will also be unhappy.Still others will live by the rule of righteousness正当,正义,正直— trying to show the right path, and admonishing劝告, 训诫；(温和地)责备，轻责 anyone who doesn't live by that path.They are concerned with others, but in a negative way, and in the end will only have their own righteousness to live with, and that's a horrible companion.Live your life by the rule of love.Love your spouse, your children, your parents, your friends, with all of your heart.Give to them what they need, and show them not cruelty nor disapproval nor coldness nor disappointment, but only love.Open your soul to them.Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors … your coworkers … strangers … your brothers and sisters in 5 humanity.Offer anyone you meet a smile, a kind word, a kind gesture, a helping hand.Love not only neighbors and strangers … but your enemy.The person who is cruelest to you, who has been unkind to you … love him.He is a tortured soul, and most in need of your love.And most of all, love yourself.While others may criticize you, learn not to be so hard on yourself, to think that you’re ugly or dumb or unworthy of love … but to think instead that you are a wonderful human being, worthy of Happiness and love … and learn to love yourself for who you are.Finally, know that I love you and always will.You are starting out on a weird, scary, daunting, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey, and I will be there for you when I can.Godspeed.Love, Your Dad 2008.10.19 in Japan
一位伟大而又平凡的父亲，一封情真意切的信。父亲的忠告，送给他三岁大的爱子，同时也启示所有人：人生是一段美妙的旅程，虽然会有阴雨，重要的是学会爱，学会享受生活，从而快乐一生。亲爱的塞斯，Dear Seth, [1] 你现在仅仅3岁，此刻你还不识字，更不用说让你去理解我接下来想在这封信里对你所说的话了。但是我已经苦思冥想了好久，关于你即将面临的人生以及我的生活，我反思我所学会的；思考一个父亲的职责，力图让你为未来岁月中即将面临的困难做好充分准备。[1] You're only three years old, and at this point in your life you can't read, much less understand what I'm going to try to tell you in this letter.But I've been thinking a lot about the life that you have ahead of you, about my life so far as I reflect on what I've learned, and about my role as a dad in trying to prepare you for the trials that you will face in the coming years。
[2] 你今天并不能理解这封信的含义，但是某一天，当时机成熟，我希望你能在我与你分享的内容当中找寻到些许的智慧和价值。[2] You won't be able to understand this letter today, but someday, when you're ready, I hope you will find some wisdom and value in what I share with you。
[3] 你还很年轻，生命还尚未开始摧残你，没有在你的人生道路上布置失望，伤心，孤独，挣扎和苦痛。你还没有被漫长的乏味工作，被日常生活的打击搞得筋疲力尽。
[3] You are young, and life has yet to take its toll on you, to throw disappointments and heartaches and loneliness and struggles and pain into your path.You have not been worn down yet by long hours of thankless work, by the slings and arrows of everyday life。
[4] 因此，谢天谢地吧。你正处在人生一个美妙的阶段。还有很多美妙的阶段会来到你面前，但是都不是唾手可得的，你都得付出代价，经历风险。
[4] For this, be thankful.You are at a wonderful stage of life.You have many wonderful stages of life still to come, but they are not without their costs and perils。
[5] 我希望通过分享一些我所学到的最好的道理能帮助你走好人生路。至于任何建议，且把它当作佐料，因为适合我的并不一定适用于你。
[5] I hope to help you along your path by sharing some of the best of what I've learned.As with any advice, take it with a grain of salt.What works for me might not work for you。生活会很残酷 Life Can Be Cruel [6] 你的生活中一定会有并不友好的人。他们耻笑你因为你不同，而在没有更好的理由。他们可能会欺负你或者伤害你。
[6] There will be people in your life who won't be very nice.They'll tease you because you're different, or for no good reason.They might try to bully you or hurt you。
[7] 对这种人你除了学会和其接触无计可施，同时你也要学会择友，选择那些对你友善的，那些真正关心你的，那些令你对自己感到很好的人做朋友。当你寻找到像这样的朋友，就一定要坚守这份友谊，珍惜他们，花些时间和他们在一起，友善的对待他们并爱他们。[7] There's not much you can do about these people except to learn to deal with them, and learn to choose friends who are kind to you, who actually care about you, who make you feel good about yourself.When you find friends like this, hold on to them, treasure them, spend time with them, be kind to them, love them。[8] 有时你会遭遇挫折而非成功。生活并不总会如你所愿。这是另一件你需要学会处理的事情。但你要挺住向前，而不是让这些事让你陷入低谷。接受挫败并学会坚持，不畏风险地追求你的梦想。学会把消极转化为积极，之后你就能做的好得多。
[8] There will be times when you are met with disappointment instead of success.Life won't always turn out the way you want.This is just another thing you'll have to learn to deal with.But instead of letting these things get you down, push on.Accept disappointment and learn to persevere, to pursue your dreams despite pitfalls.Learn to turn negatives into positives, and you'll do much better in life。
[9] 你同样会面临心碎时刻以及你深爱的人的抛弃。我希望你无须经历太多此类事件，但如果不幸发生了，再一次，除了慢慢愈合心中的创伤并继续下去你的生活，你别无选择。让这些痛苦成为你通向更美好生活的垫脚石，并学会利用它们让自己更坚强。
[9] You will also face heartbreak and abandonment by those you love.I hope you don't have to face this too much, but it happens.Again, not much you can do but to heal, and to move on with your life.Let these pains become stepping stones to better things in life, and learn to use them to make you stronger。
但无论如何，都要张开双臂拥抱生活 But Be Open to life Anyway [10] 是的，在你的生命历程中你会遇到残酷，煎熬……但不要让这些让你拒绝接受新鲜事物。不要逃避生活，不要躲藏，抑或封闭自己。拥抱新鲜事物，经历全新体验，接触新的人。
[10] Yes, you'll find cruelty and suffering in your journey through life … but don't let that close you to new things.Don't retreat from life, don't hide or wall yourself off.Be open to new things, new experiences, new people。
[11] 你或许心碎了10次，但是在第十一次找到至爱。如果你把自己关在爱的门外，你就会错过这个女子，和你生命中最快乐的时光。[11] You might get your heart broken 10 times, but find the most wonderful woman the 11th time.If you shut yourself off from love, you'll miss out on that woman, and the happiest times of your life。
[12] 你可能会被你遇到的人耻笑欺负伤害…而在见了一打这种稀奇古怪的人后，你会找到一个真正的朋友。如果你拒绝接触新人群，并不向他们敞开心扉，你会避免受伤……但是同时也失去了认识这些不可思议的人的机会，他们会在你生命最困难的时刻陪伴着你，并带给你人生当中最美好的时光。
[12] You might get teased and bullied and hurt by people you meet … and then after meeting dozens of jerks, find a true friend.If you close yourself off to new people, and don't open your heart to them, you'll avoid pain … but also lose out on meeting some incredible people, who will be there during the toughest times of your life and create some of the best times of your life。
[13] 你会失败多次但是如果你让失败打到了你，不再努力，你就会错过那种当你达到成就新高度的难以言喻的成就感。失败是成功之母。
[13] You will fail many times but if you allow that to stop you from trying, you will miss out on the amazing feeling of success once you reach new heights with your accomplishments.Failure is a stepping stone to success。生命不是一场竞赛 Life Isn't a Competition [14] 你会遇到一些人他们总是试图超过你，在中学，大学，在工作中。他们想要拥有更好的车，更大的房子，更好的衣物，更酷的小玩 12 意。对他们来说，生命就是一场竞赛---他们不得不比同辈做得更好来让自己感到快乐。
[14]You will meet many people who will try to outdo you, in school, in college, at work.They'll try to have nicer cars, bigger houses, nicer clothes, cooler gadgets.To them, life is a competition — they have to do better than their peers to be happy。
[15] 这里有一个秘诀：生命并不是一场竞赛。而是一段旅程。如果你在途中一直都试图给他人留下深刻印象，超过别人，那你就浪费了这段旅程。与之相反，学会享受它，让之成为快乐之旅，永恒的学习之旅，持久的进步之旅以及爱之旅。
[15]Here's a secret: Life isn't a competition.It's a journey.If you spend that journey always trying to impress others, to outdo others, you’re wasting your journey.Instead, learn to enjoy the journey.Make it a journey of Happiness, of constant learning, of continual improvement, of love。
[16] 不要为拥有一辆更好的车或一所更好的房子或者任何物质的东西，即便是一份薪水更高的工作操心。这些根本无足轻重，也不会使你快乐。你可能在拥有了这些之后只是想要更多的。与之相反，学会满足你已经拥有的---然后学会利用你原本想要浪费在为挣钱买这些东西的时间去做你真正热爱的事。[16] Don't worry about having a nicer car or house or anything material, or even a better-paying job.None of that matters a whit, and none of it will make you happier.You'll acquire these things and then only want more.Instead, learn to be satisfied with having enough — and then use the time you would have wasted trying to earn money to buy those things … use that time doing things you love。
[17] 找到你的激情，坚持不懈地追求它。别让自己被一个还债的的工作所累。生命太短暂了，更不可将之浪费在你所厌恶的工作上。[17] Find your passion, and pursue it doggedly.Don't settle for a job that pays the bills.Life is too short to waste on a job you hate。爱应该成为你的生活准则 Love Should Be Your Rule [18] 如果让一个词成为你的生活支撑的话，那它应该是爱。也许这听来已是老生常谈，我也清楚… 但是请信任我，再没有更好的生活准则了。
[18]If there's a single word you should live your life by, it should be this: Love.It might sound corny, I know … but trust me, there's no better rule in life。
[19] 一些人以成功作为生活准则。他们的生活会很紧张，不开心并且很浅薄。
[19] Some would live by the rule of success.Their lives will be stressful, unhappy and shallow。
[20] 另一些人的生活准则是个人利益---他们将个人需要置于他人需要之上。他们孤独一生，终究也不会快乐。
[20] Others would live by the rule of selfishness — putting their needs above those of others.They will live lonely lives, and will also be unhappy。
[21] 还有一些人他们为正义而生---努力展示其道路的正确性，并试图劝服任何一个不以正义为生活准则的人。他们关心他人，却以一种消极的方式，最终怀抱追寻一生的正义而终，而正却是一个糟糕的伴侣。
[21] Still others will live by the rule of righteousness — trying to show the right path, and admonishing anyone who doesn't live by that path.They are concerned with others, but in a negative way, and in the end will only have their own righteousness to live with, and that's a horrible companion。
[22] 用爱支撑你的生命。爱你的妻子，你的孩子，你的父母亲，你的朋友，全心全意地去爱。给与他们你所需要的，不要流露出任何残忍，不赞同，冷漠或者失望，只有爱。向他们敞开灵魂。[22] Live your life by the rule of love.Love your spouse, your children, your parents, your friends, with all of your heart.Give to them what they need, and show them not cruelty nor disapproval nor coldness nor disappointment, but only love.Open your soul to them。
[23] 不仅仅爱你深爱的人，也要爱你的邻居.。你的同事…甚至陌生人…他们是你广义上的兄弟姐妹。给你遇到的任何一个人一个微笑，一句善语。一个友好的姿势，一只援助之手。[23]Love not only your loved ones, but your neighbors … your coworkers … strangers … your brothers and sisters in humanity.Offer anyone you meet a smile, a kind word, a kind gesture, a helping hand。[24] 不仅仅爱邻居和陌生人…也要爱你的敌人。对你最残酷的人，对曾经对你不善的人…爱他。他是一个备受折磨的灵魂，最需要你的爱。
[24] Love not only neighbors and strangers … but your enemy.The person who is cruelest to you, who has been unkind to you … love him.He is a tortured soul, and most in need of your love。
[25] 最重要的是爱你自己。当别人批评你时，学着不要强加自己，去认为自己丑，笨或者不值得去爱…而要想着自己是一个很完美的人，值得拥有幸福和真爱…并学会爱现在的自己。
[25] And most of all, love yourself.While others may criticize you, learn not to be so hard on yourself, to think that you’re ugly or dumb or unworthy of love … but to think instead that you are a wonderful human being, worthy of Happiness and love … and learn to love yourself for who you are。
[26] 最后，要知道我爱你并且永远都会，你即将开启一段有点奇怪，令人害怕，令人心悸但最终很不可思议的巧妙旅程，我永远会支持你。祝万事如意。
[26] Finally, know that I love you and always will.You are starting out on a weird, scary, daunting, but ultimately incredibly wonderful journey, and I will be there for you when I can.Godspeed。
