在泪水中我学会了欢笑

在最悲惨的岁月里,我学会了有血有肉

当没有什么值得感动的时候,我学会了去感受

当并不富足时,我学会了给予

当寒冷的时候,我学会了怎样得到温暖

在真正卑微地活着,我学会了无畏

当生不如死的时候,我学会了生存

当唯一能做的事就是哭泣时,我会了欢笑当一切都高高在上时,我学会了向卑微学习当我被憎恶时,我学会怎样去爱

在颠沛流离时,我学会怎样放松

当处于最糟糕的境况时,我学会了憧憬最美好的事物当似乎就要完蛋的时候,我想起了上苍

当我迷失的时候,我才知道自己是谁

当我一文不名的时候,我学会了要成为一名富翁这些事情似乎很严肃,然而……

他说:“在生命的水面上,你也许能激起许多波纹,而你所激起的波纹也会打破别人的平静,”
