On Children
Kahlil Gibran
: W6 k0 S; m5 a3 _& sYour 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,
+ g$ e( c, F8 U; oAnd though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
9 C- \  A( u4 O) s2 J9 ~( U, wYou may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.
$ @+ Y( }- ]% J* d  e4 MYou may house their bodies but not their souls,
) @. L/ e% N4 W% p& DFor their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
3 L9 P' H8 p) t4 i# X5 sbut seek not to make them like you.
( c8 x) _) `, L2 d- {% u3 O' OFor life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

# k( L+ x7 K5 u6 P+ @* I* D0 FThe archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
and He bends you with His might
# ~4 H" H: s; w5 ]6 Kthat 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,
so He loves also the bow that is stable.

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。

他们是生命对于自身渴望而诞生的孩子。
3 o( t* p/ m/ i" z: e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。
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。
6 ^& o- ^! l- ?' }9 ^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，
7 |$ Z; d* k) f3 t) k; K$ l. x你可以拚尽全力，变得像他们一样，
