今天早上讀到這首詩，覺得實在是太貼近自己最近的心情。

我細數我的歲月，

理解到，我剩下的生命已經少於我目前已活的生命。

我覺得自己像個贏到一包糖果的小孩:

一開始，他帶著歡樂吃著糖果，

但是，當他理解到，只剩下一點點了，

他開始聚精會神地品嚐著糖果。

我沒有時間放在關於情況、規則、程序與內部規定討論的會議，

尤其在我知道沒有什麼能做的狀況下。

我再也沒有耐心忍受愚蠢可笑的人，

那些隨著年紀增長卻半點都沒有成長的人。

我的時間太少了，

我想要精華

我的靈魂很趕

我的糖果包裝袋裡沒有剩下太多糖果了

我想要生活在非常實際的人們身邊，

那些知道如何在犯錯時，一笑而過的人，

那些不因成功就自我膨脹的人，

還有，那些為自己行為負責任的人。

如此，人的尊嚴受到保護，

而我們可以活在真相與誠實之下，

這是讓生活變得有用處的必要之舉。

我想要身邊圍繞著那些懂得觸摸人心的人，

尤其是觸摸受生命受到重擊的人的心，

還有那些學會在甜蜜靈魂接觸中成長的人。

是的，我很趕。

我趕著聚精會神地活著，這只有成熟能帶給我。

我不想再浪費任何一丁點甜點，

我確信他們都很珍貴,

比我到目前已吃過的都更加精美珍貴。

我的目標是與我愛的人和我的良知，滿足平和地達到終點

我們有兩條生命，

第二條生命開始於你理解你只有一條命。

“I counted my years

and realized that I have

Less time to live by than I have lived so far.

I feel like a child who won a pack of candies: at first, he ate them with pleasure.

But when he realized that there was little left, he began to taste them intensely.

I have no time for endless meetings

where the statutes, rules, procedures & internal regulations are discussed,

knowing that nothing will be done.

I no longer have the patience

To stand absurd people who,

despite their chronological age,

have not grown up.

My time is too short:

I want the essence,

my spirit is in a hurry.

I do not have much candy

In the package anymore.

I want to live next to humans,

very realistic people who know

How to laugh at their mistakes,

Who are not inflated by their own triumphs

and who take responsibility for their actions.

In this way, human dignity is defended

and we live in truth and honesty.

It is the essentials that make life useful.

I want to surround myself with people

who know how to touch the hearts of those hard strokes of life, and who have been taught to grow with sweet touches of the soul.

Yes, I’m in a hurry.

I’m in a hurry to live with the intensity that only maturity can bring.

I do not intend to waste any of the remaining desserts.

I am sure they will be exquisite,

much more than those eaten so far.

My goal is to reach the end satisfied

and at peace with my loved ones and my conscience.

We have two lives

and the second begins when you realize you only have one.”
