By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had so many hopes and dreams about where you'd be, what you'd be doing and with whom you'd spend your life with.
Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and overseas, and maybe even settled down somewhere in Australia doing some research in the field of biology (genetics.
I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. He is originally from South Africa (another place I wish to visit.
You'll probably have two children of your own – a girl(Michaela Anne and a boy (name yet to be decided.If everything goes according to plan you'll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing alright for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world and don't settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve.
Live long, be happy and live life to it's fullest.
Love Sherri "18″
每当看到那部剃须刀,七彩的童年生活犹如放电影般呈现在了我的脑海中,久久挥之不去。
那年我才四岁,有一天我去姥爷家,看着家中柜上面各种各样的摆设品,强烈的好奇心驱使我不住地摸摸这儿,玩玩那儿。忽然老爷手中的一个黑盒子”吸引了我的注意力,他长得并不好看。却能发出嗡嗡的声音。姥爷拿着它在嘴边蹭来蹭去,一副悠闲自得的样子,那感觉简直像腾云驾雾的活神仙。而站在一旁的我早就看得心痒痒了,眼睛直直地盯着黑盒子,恨不得马上就体验一下那感觉。好不容易等到姥爷出去,我立刻一个箭步冲上去。拿起黑盒子”,随手按了一个按钮,那玩意儿立刻不停的震动起来,犹如蜜蜂采蜜般嗡嗡地叫起来,真好听。我尝试着慢慢用它在脸上蹭来蹭去,啊!那感觉仿佛把整个脸都埋进了棉花里,皮肤都跟着不停颤动,舒服极了。这时姥爷回来了,他神情怪异地盯着我看,忽然缓缓地问:你的眉毛哪儿去了?”我闻声大惊,急忙拿起镜子一瞧,嘿,果真我的眉毛竟不翼而飞啦!我吓得哇哇大哭起来,姥爷却忍不住哈哈大笑。这时我又瞅见了镜中那个狼狈不堪的我,又不禁破涕而笑。
冰心曾说过,童年是梦中的真,是真中的梦,是回忆时含泪的微笑,这句话是多么贴切啊。
童年是一首歌,歌里有我们跳动的音符;童年是一首诗,诗里有我们的韵脚;童年是一幅画,画里有我们五彩的生活;童年是一支笔,笔下有我们的美好回忆。
记得那年我七岁,上小学一年级。开学时学校给我们发了新书包,书包里应有尽有。一个文具盒里装了三支笔和一块橡皮。这三支笔分别是铅笔、黑色彩笔和自动笔。我不知道自动笔怎么用,根据字面的意思应该是一个可以自动帮你写字的东西。我们老师说那支自动笔不适合我们用,所以让我们扔了。可我还是想要自动笔,因为有了它我就不用写作业了!我求妈妈给我买,妈妈说:“自动笔和你心爱的芭比娃娃只能选一个,你选吧!”我心想:还是不写作业比较好,然后我选择了自动笔。我和妈妈来到了超市,买了自动笔。回到家,我就迫不及待的坐到学习桌旁,打开作业本,手里拿着充满神奇力量的自动笔,等待它帮我完成作业。可是等了半天它也不动,我着急的问妈妈:“妈妈,它怎么不写字呢?”
妈妈听后哈哈大笑,差一点笑破了肚皮,笑够了,就对我说:“傻孩子,它怎么可能会自动写字呢?自动笔只是为你节省了削铅笔的过程。”“哦,那我要芭比娃娃!芭比娃娃!”我大声的说。
妈妈见我哭哭啼啼的样子,再次牵着我的手走进了商店……生活是夜空,而童年是最闪耀的星星;生活是一个大花园,而童年是最美的花儿;生活是一片森林,而童年是最茁壮的一棵大树,树上的分叉就是那一件件的童年趣事!
我的童年有许多趣事,每一件事都像一个果子。有些果子已经掉落了,唯有一个果子又红又大,一直挂在树上。今天,我就把它摘下来,让大家尝尝。
小时候,妈妈经常带我去姥姥家。姥姥的邻居家有一条非常凶猛的狗,每次路过他家门口时,它总是冲着我们凶狠地叫几声。这一次,哥哥带我出去玩的时候,没有听到狗叫声,我感到很奇怪。我悄悄地来到邻居家门口,趴在门缝里一看,哈哈哈,它被主人拴在柱子上了。我一阵狂喜:看你平时凶巴巴的样子,这回看看我的厉害吧。
我转身去商店买了一盒划炮,跑回来,轻轻地把门推开,点着一个扔在它院子里。它以为我给它什么好吃的,乐颠颠地跑了过来,刚跑到划炮跟前,只听“砰”一声响,它“嗷”的一声哀叫,向后退了几步,掉头飞快地跑回了狗窝。看它狼狈的样子,我得意地笑出了声。我还不过瘾,大胆地往前走了走,又点了一个划炮扔在窝前。它聪明了许多,蹲在窝里不敢上前,嘴里“哼”“哼”地叫着,好像在说:“别再惹我了,别再惹我了。”
看见狗那可怜的样子,我起了恻隐之心,又一想起平时它那凶狠的样子,我又一次拿起了划炮点着。我连续扔了好几个,越扔越过瘾,干脆把剩下的全都点着扔进窝里。噼里啪啦的响声把狗吓坏了,它被激怒了,一下子从狗窝里蹿出来。使劲地挣绳子,边挣边狂叫。我没有发现危险的来临,还拿手里的空盒子逗狗呢。哥哥见势不妙,拉起我就跑。在我们刚刚关上门的时候,狗已经挣脱绳子冲到了姥姥家的门口,锋利的爪子把门挠得“咯哧”“咯哧”响。只差一步,太悬了,吓得我出了一身冷汗。
这件事过去很多年了,可这只果子的味道一直在我心里不时地品味,从那时起,我再也不去招惹狗了。
星期六,小明的妈妈生病了,小明决定不出去玩了,在家里照顾妈妈。这时小明突然听见窗外有人,急忙跑到窗户边,打开窗户一看,果然不出所料,原来是小刚站在窗外。小刚说:“小明,我们去踢球吧?”小明回答说:“小刚,我不去了,你约其他的小伙伴一起玩吧。”小刚疑惑地问:“为什么呢?”小明说:“我妈妈生病了,我要在家照顾妈妈,不能陪你一起玩了。”小刚非常失望地说:“等***妈的病好了,我们再一起玩吧。小明再见!”
然后,小明轻轻地关上窗户,回到房间里倒了一杯水,小心翼翼地端着杯子来到床前,关切地问:“妈妈,你好点了吗?喝点水吧。”妈妈吃力地坐起来,靠在床头边,接过水杯喝了几口水后,说:“小明,你放心吧,妈妈已经好多了。”过了一会儿,小明又拿来他心爱的风筝,装作放风筝的样子让她开心。
到了晚上,小明就给妈妈读妈妈爱看的书,妈妈的病也渐渐地好起来了,小明非常高兴,妈妈也非常高兴,妈妈心想小明长大了。
When you look back on yourself in the past – 10, 20, 30 or more years ago – it’s surprising to see how much you have changed over time. Your experiences, your friends, your family and your work have all shaped who you are right now. But where will you be in another few years? How will you have changed? Reflective writing in your journal is an excellent way to think about what you want out of the future.
当你10年、20年或更多年后回顾过去时,你会吃惊地发现,随着时光的流逝,你也发生了很大的变化。你的经历、朋友、家庭和工作造就了现在的你。但是再过几年你会在哪里呢?你会如何变化呢?这样反思性的写作,会是思考未来你想要什么的一种好的方式。
You may have already written a letter to your younger self before, conveying all the wisdom and perspective you wish you had had at the time. Now consider the opposite end of the spectrum; what would you say if you wrote your future self a letter?
你也许以前试过给过去的自己写信,向年轻时的自己传授一些人生的智慧和观点,你希望那时候的自己就能知道这些。现在我们换个角度看问题,如果让你给未来的自己写封信,你会写点什么?
Just imagine writing a letter to your future self 5 years from now, then opening it at that exact moment 5 years down the road to see how much of it resonated with you. It is a useful supplementary tool to be used in goal achievement, because when you write the letter to your future self, it helps crystallize exactly how you anticipate yourself to become at that specific moment down the road.
想象一下,给5年后的'自己写一封信,当5年后你打开那封信时,你会产生多少共鸣。这是实现目标的一种有用的辅助工具,因为当你给未来的自己写信时,你会慢慢理清希望自己在人生旅途的那个特定时刻变成什么样子。
As you read the letter in the future, you can assess how many things match up (or not vs. your expectations in the past and think about why that’s the case. Often times, the goals we set and our goal achievement process are subjected to a lot of changes along the way, due to varying obstacles, unanticipated circumstances and changing priorities. The letter gives you a macro-view of your initial vision and lets you recognize how your current vision differs from the past.
当你在未来读这封信时,你可以看看有多少事情是像你过去期望的那样,你也会思考为什么会这样。很多时候,我们设定目标在实现的过程中会受到沿途中各种因素的影响,因为会遇到各种各样的困难、各种意外情况并需要不断调整优先级。这封信能让你从宏观的角度上去看自己最初的愿景,让你意识到自己现在的想法和过去相比有多么不同。
When you open the letter in the future, you as your future self gets to compare how you used to be in the past and compare with how you are currently. This lets you see in totality how much things have changed since then – and this can be a really intriguingexperience. It’s interesting to just see how much you have grown/changed since you wrote the letter.
当你以后看信时,你会把过去的自己和现在的自己进行比较。这会让你看清从写信时起你发生了哪些变化,这种体验是非常有趣的。光看看从你写信开始发生了哪些变化就很有趣了。
