For what it's worth:
人的一生应该这样度过:
It's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be.
于我而言,追寻自我,或早或晚,都恰逢其时。
There's no time limit. Stop whenever you want.
终其一生,驻留由心。
You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing.
可百变生姿,亦可从一而终,无一定之规。
We can make the best or the worst of it.I hope you make the best of it.
或一飞冲天,或随波逐流,最终自是清明最好。
And I hope you see things that startle you.
大千世界无奇不有,终能处乱不惊。
I hope you feel things you never felt before.
人生百态五味杂陈,终能豁然开朗。
I hope you meet people with a different point of view.
千帆竞渡百舸争流,终能海纳百川。
I hope you live a life you're proud of.
人, 贵在自知自重,
If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
贵在穷且益坚亦不坠青云之志。

本文的照片拍摄于浙江某古窑址。现场水雾弥漫,光影氤氲。目之所及是数不清的瓷片,随便哪一片,或隋唐、或五代、或明清。我在一丛绿叶的下面,看到了这样一叠未经烧制的残片。它青灰的瓷壁上已爬满暗绿的瘢痕,和脚下同样暗绿的一片苔藓呼应着,静默无声。我看着它,不是在博物馆管控森严的灯光下,不是在围观的汹涌澎拜的人群中,而是在这样一个通透旷达的天地之间,这是何等的幸运!我这样近距离地看它,一切似乎都没变,一切又似乎都在变,最终,这静静过去的时光,都可以称之为“历史”或者“文明”。人生,短短的几十年相对于这漫长的数千年,既是沧海桑田,也是石火电光。
