天使降落在人間
Consider……YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion……
試想一下……你！一個空前絕后的你，不論是以往還是將來都不會有一個跟你一模一樣的人。你在歷史上和宇宙中都是獨一無二的。哇！想想吧，你是萬里挑一、億里挑一、兆里挑一的。
You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity!
在無窮無盡的宇宙中，你是舉世無雙的！！！
You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process.
你是了不起的！你是卓越的！沒錯，就是你。你已經是了不起的，是卓越的，你還可以更卓越更了不起。美麗的年輕人是大自然的奇想，而美麗的老人卻是藝術的杰作。但你不會因為年齡的漸長就自然而然地變得“美麗”。
Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today.
Paint a Masterpiece.
真正的美麗源于生命里的學習、成長和熱愛。這就是生命的藝術。你可以只聽天由命, 慢慢地學，有時候或許會很痛苦。又或許你可以選擇加速自己的成長，故意地揮霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描繪自己未來的藝術家。
畫出一幅杰作吧！
God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you.
上帝給了鳥兒食物，但他沒有將食物扔到它們的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正做決定的還是你自己。
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born. So one day he asked God,"They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"
從前，有個孩子馬上就要誕生了。因此有一天他問上帝：“聽說明天你就送我去人間了，但是，我這么弱小和無助，我在那兒怎么生活呢？”
God replied,"Among the many angels, I chose one for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you."
上帝答道：“在眾多的天使中，我特別為你挑了一位。她會守候你、無微不至地照顧你。”
But the child wasn't sure he really wanted to go."But tell me, here in Heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy."
小孩還是拿不準自己是否真的想去。“但是在天堂，我除了唱唱笑笑外，什么也不做。這就足以讓我感到幸福了。”
"Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will feel your angel's love and be happy."
“你的天使每天會為你唱歌，為你微笑。你會感受她的愛，并且因此而幸福。”
"And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me,"the child continued,"if I don't know the language that men talk?"
“如果我不懂人類的語言，他們對我說話時，我怎么聽得懂呢？”孩子繼續問道。
God patted him on the head and said,"Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
上帝輕輕地拍了一下孩子的腦袋說：“你的天使會對你說最最美麗、最最動聽的話語，而這些都是你從未聽過的。她會不厭其煩地教你說話。”
"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
“如果我想與你說話怎么辦？”
But God had an answer for that question too."Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."
上帝胸有成竹地回答：“你的天使會將你的雙手合攏，教你如何祈禱。”

"I've heard that on earth there are bad men, who will protect me?"
“聽說塵世有很多壞蛋，誰來保護我呢？”
"Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life!"
“即使冒著生命危險，你的天使也會保護你的。”
"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore,"the child continued warily.
“但是見不到你，我會難過的。”小孩小心翼翼說道。
God smiled on the young one."Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
聽到這兒，上帝對著小孩笑了。“盡管我會一直陪伴你左右，你的天使仍會提起我，教你重返天堂之路。”
At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard. The child knew he had to start on his journey very soon. He asked God one more question, softly,"Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."
此時，天堂一片寧靜，凡間的聲音已可聽到，小孩明白自己得趕緊上路了。 他又輕聲問了最后一個問題，“哦，上帝，假如我現在就出發，請你告訴我，我的天使叫什么名字。”
God touched the child on the shoulder and answered,"Your angel's name is not hard to remember. You will simply call her Mommy."
上帝把手放在小孩的肩上，答道：“你的天使的名字很容易記住， 你就叫她――媽媽。”
