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
/ l* I2 ]  Y1 ?; R, A) a* G. k Kahlil Gibran
0 E4 B# m8 j' ~Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
' S/ `% f! s) |, a+ l# o% kAnd though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
! j1 T# ^$ }/ D* E: T+ iYou may give them your love but not your thoughts,
  j* h& P! X; z% xFor they have their own thoughts.
8 }7 @) ~, M4 \: A4 BYou may house their bodies but not their souls,
* o0 _6 J4 k6 o; R% h/ J5 Z3 xFor their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
+ l% Q4 Z4 j! m6 c" V* W* }You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
! ?6 @3 F+ T- I! L/ ^7 |1 a- DFor life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.
* U& R) ?5 |; K, g/ LYou are the bows from which your children

  I  ?5 A2 J4 e( q$ C1 XThe archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
. o: ~8 q  X- o6 ]( J9 o7 w0 vand He bends you with His might
1 }0 ^- V* E  n- @4 Vthat His arrows may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
' i" _, w& g6 Y) X9 U0 lso 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 V. Z! W( Z5 f- }8 P( k$ M  s9 O4 V他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。
0 H7 u( U# R9 [: P4 A3 U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。
/ f" k9 }7 z0 T# u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。
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，
* }  [8 w2 l' E3 U, G" b你可以拚尽全力，变得像他们一样，
$ i) Z: ^3 n7 @3 ]+ }3 R却不要让他们变得和你一样，
' ?) {' s! Z1 D& F# y因为生命不会后退，也不在过去停留。
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，
它用尽力气将你拉开，使他的箭射得又快又远。
怀着快乐的心情，在弓箭手的手中弯曲吧，
8 M9 r% e; U9 G& U' a% C' h2 ]因为他爱一路飞翔的箭，也爱无比稳定的弓。
