今天偶然看到这首纪伯伦的诗，觉得很好，贴出来和大家一起分享
. V: T( m# a. ?9 W. l+ @6 s7 I' q9 x
On Children
Kahlil Gibran
- D7 p1 i% G9 r- M5 W0 QYour children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
% a5 o, r% c) o& [They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
+ B1 U/ e; f5 P/ UFor they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
/ `' k& O, i! ~9 ~& }For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
1 h' z# f0 T5 R  M- L. z6 B6 qbut seek not to make them like you.
( p* O( B( N9 W/ S8 Z, _5 ~For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
  Y+ Q; m4 S' }; A, vThe archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
- F6 q4 L' X- J! B: M* sand He bends you with His might
that His arrows may go swift and far.
, N7 n' s0 I. ]+ M% J7 z3 k! zLet your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

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。

你的子女，其实不是你的子女。
4 S! D$ |1 c6 {: C7 c* C/ H他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。
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。
9 E( D; a: r! }$ P6 C9 X+ h6 r" s5 f1 l. `你可以给予他们的是你的爱，却不是你的思想，
因为他们有自己的思想。
  K7 v4 G. u! C+ P你可以庇护的是他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂，
因为他们的灵魂属于明天，属于你做梦都无法到达的明天，
# n' V4 V! f  R; W) V, P; X6 S你可以拚尽全力，变得像他们一样，

因为生命不会后退，也不在过去停留。

它用尽力气将你拉开，使他的箭射得又快又远。
