下班路过校园里的小池塘，发现小树林在夕阳的映照下，洒满金光。重组一首诗，写给未来的你 …

写给未来的你（节选重组版）

孩子，

我希望你自始至终都是一个理想主义者。

你可以是农民，

可以是工程师，

可以是演员，

可以是流浪汉，

但你必须是个理想主义者。

通向理想的途径往往不尽如人意，

而你亦会为此受尽磨难。

但是，孩子，

你尽管去争取，

理想主义者的结局悲壮而绝不可怜。

我希望你是个踏实的人。

记住，每个人的能力有限，

我们活在世上能做好一件事足矣。

你要懂得和珍惜感情。

要爱自己和爱他人，

要懂自己和懂他人。

你的心要如溪水般柔软，

你的眼波要像春天般明媚。

在形式上我们无法与既定的世俗争斗，

而在内心我们都是自己的国王。

战胜自己比征服他人还要艰巨和有意义。

不管世界潮流如何变化，

但人的优秀品质却是永恒的：

正直、勇敢、独立。

我希望你是一个优秀的人

To You, in the Future (Selected & Reassembled)

My child,

I hope that, from beginning to end,

you will remain an idealist.

You may be a farmer,

an engineer,

an actor,

or a wanderer—

but you must be an idealist.

The road toward ideals

is often far from what one hopes for,

and you will suffer greatly because of it.

But, my child,

go on and strive for it.

The fate of an idealist

may be solemn and poignant,

but never pitiable.

I hope you will be a grounded person.

Remember, each of us is limited in our abilities;

to do one thing well in this life

is already good enough.

You must learn to understand and cherish affection.

Love yourself, and love others.

Know yourself, and know others.

Let your heart be as gentle as a stream,

and your eyes as radiant as Spring.

Outwardly, we cannot contend

with the established ways of the world;

yet inwardly,

each of us is the king of our own realm.

To conquer oneself

is far more difficult

and far more meaningful

than to conquer others.

No matter how the tides of the world may change,

the finest qualities of a human being remain eternal:

integrity, courage, and independence.

I hope you will become

a person true to yourself.
