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

On Children
Kahlil Gibran
, |/ C. K' b* t; x, h2 d7 e: mYour children are not your children.
. d0 {# \& H& |" z1 ]They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
7 ?% z2 j9 {9 c7 V5 C& g0 DAnd though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
2 N3 g7 Q) z0 [0 GYou may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
4 B+ k# p8 R$ t3 a) @8 U* T* Z0 [For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
7 S- ?# `% y0 |+ l$ qYou may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
! D: d' c# D; V, c- U1 r9 ~! TYou are the bows from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
1 v2 c8 Y) ^2 y( }; JThe archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
& @0 L" W( F8 u) h- F# Oand He bends you with His might
* I& W4 Y" {5 |3 \* Cthat His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
6 R* X2 q2 t+ o( G6 O- ]  fFor even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

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。

你的子女，其实不是你的子女。
1 H9 X& I( R7 |% G他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。
' g3 ]/ C# V5 X! X- U! T+ j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。
# c' i. ]" d; D! J. y你可以给予他们的是你的爱，却不是你的思想，
7 u/ p  q) l% s5 U因为他们有自己的思想。
" t% T1 _  i" D你可以庇护的是他们的身体，却不是他们的灵魂，
3 H: s. S4 [9 E/ T8 j+ a' ?9 O因为他们的灵魂属于明天，属于你做梦都无法到达的明天，
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，
  a$ [- |* W  J* ]2 e0 @; ~因为生命不会后退，也不在过去停留。
