In the early morning, I can hear the birds sing and feel the warmth of the sunshine;
10 years later, birds sing and sunlight are still there as before, but I will be getting older;
50 years later, no longer birds sing, no more sunlight, I'll lay in my box under the earth, my kids shall come and see me sometimes;
100 years later, my grandchildren may come and greet me occasionally;
150 years later, nothing to do with me, I was utterly forgotten by the world; I'll have become a handful of soil and nourish the grass around me...

Spring, the sweet Spring, is the year's pleasant king;
春，甘美之春，一年之中的尧舜，
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
处处都有花树，都有女儿环舞，
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing,
微寒但觉清和，佳禽争着唱歌，
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
啁啁，啾啾，哥哥，割麦、插一禾！

今天教一个初二小朋友做了一篇阅读理解，全文的大概意思就是学生们即将毕业开启新的旅程，班主任给她快毕业的学生的一封信，信里充满了对老师对学生的教导。里面有一句话我印象特别深刻
“Give yourselves quiet time to watch the birds flying in the sky and the flowers smiling on the green hills”在读这句话的时候，面对面坐着的正是一位未经世事的初中生，和即将快要结束学生旅程的我。不同阶段读这句话的感受是不同的，小朋友的感受可能就是这是一篇对他来说有点难的短文。但对我来说，我却感慨万千。可不是吗，不管在什么阶段，都要给自己留下足够的时间，看鸟在天空飞，看花儿在绿丛中微笑，人活着最大的意义就是感受和热爱生活。就像少年的我读不懂送东阳马生序，可如今长大成人，后知后觉才发现自己错过了多少时间和机会。对我来说，此时此刻，教育才完成了闭环……
