秀色可餐

下面是中文翻译，可能不是很贴切。当你真正体会到其中的涵义时，便会发现其中“爱”、“放手”、“分清责任”、“信任”、“尊重”、“正向信念”这些家庭教育的真谛都包含其中。
! m, M8 P7 g+ C! r; V
你的子女，其实不是你的子女。
他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。
! U* g" q" U  v, F9 X他们借助你来到这世界，却非因你而来。
他们在你身旁，却并不属于你。
你可以给予他们的是你的爱，却不是你的思想，
4 D! \! i9 t9 C" L) t0 N9 J因为他们有自己的思想。
- o/ [9 m3 F& V) s你可以庇护的是他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂，
- Z7 S, Q  {6 D* E# p" H; E因为他们的灵魂属于明天，属于你做梦都无法到达的明天，
5 l! v1 a3 I' Q9 z( a/ ]: j你可以拚尽全力，变得像他们一样，
却不要让他们变得和你一样，
2 r! q. B2 R' r; C8 O* |0 D因为生命不会后退，也不在过去停留。
6 A/ e) C7 W9 ]" _! e0 l5 p你是弓，儿女是从你那里射出的箭。
弓箭手望着未来之路上的箭靶，

怀着快乐的心情，在弓箭手的手中弯曲吧，
因为他爱一路飞翔的箭，也爱无比稳定的弓。
