　　Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you...” the tree said.

　　许多年过去，男孩终于回来，苹果树说：“对不起，孩子，我已经没有东西可以给你了，我的苹果没了。”

　　“I don’t have teeth to bite,” the boy replied.

　　男孩说：“我的牙都掉了，吃不了苹果了。”

　　“No more trunk for you to climb on.”

　　苹果树又说：“我再没有树干，让你爬上来了。”

　　“I am too old for that now,” the boy said.

　　男孩说：“我太老了，爬不动了。”

　　“I really can’t give you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots,” the tree said with tears.

　　“我再也没有什么给得出手了……，只剩下枯死下去的老根，”树流着泪说。

　　“I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied.

　　男孩说：“这么多年过去了，现在我感到累了，什么也不想要，只要一个休息的地方。”

　　“Good! Old tree roots is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, Come sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...

　　“好啊!老根是最适合坐下来休息的，来啊，坐下来和我一起休息吧!”男孩坐下来，苹果树高兴得流下了眼泪……

　　This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad... When we grown up, we left them, and only came to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.

　　这就是我们每个人的故事。这颗树就是我们的父母。小时候，我们喜欢和爸爸妈妈玩……长大后，我们就离开他们，只在需要什么东西或者遇到麻烦的时候，才回到他们身边。

　　No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that’s how all of us are treating our parents.

　　无论如何，父母永远都在那儿，倾其所有使你快乐。你可能认为这个男孩对树很残酷，但这就是我们每个人对待父母的方式。

　　Take time out during the day for quiet time to listen to your inner voice. You may want to use your quiet time to meditate or pray.

　　白天花些时间出去，独自倾听自己的心声。你可能想利用这段安静的时间沉思或祈祷。

　　However you use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself.

　　无论如何利用这段时间，关键是要排除周围所有的噪音，关注自己的内心深处。

　　Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. I know it’s hard to find quiet time during a particularly busy day, but it’s so important — even if it’s just 10 minutes a day and you have to sneak away to get it.

　　安静的时间进行深呼吸也能帮你集中注意力。我知道在特别忙碌的日子找到安静的时间很难，然而这很重要——即使一天只有10分钟，你也要溜开抓住它。

　　Quiet time can really make a difference in your life. It enables you to hear God speaking to your heart reminding you of His perfect love for you.

　　安静的时间确实能使你的生命变得不同，它促使你倾听上帝与你的心灵对话，使你想起他赋予你的完美的爱。

　　Be honest with yourself by paying attention to your actions. Actions speak louder than words, and they always tell the truth.

　　坦诚对己，注重行动吧。事实胜于雄辩，行动才能证明事实。

　　What do your actions say about you? If you say you love your job, but your actions say otherwise, which do you think is more true — your words or your actions?

　　你的行动是如何说明你的呢?如果你说热爱自己的工作，而你的行动正好相反，你认为哪个更有说服力呢——言语还是行动?

　　On the other hand, if you say you’re not good at a certain job, but your actions say otherwise, that’s also important.

　　另一方面，如果你说不擅长某项工作，但你的行动正好相反，这也很重要。

　　What do you do with this insight? You can use it to make more beneficial choices in your life. By being honest with yourself based on your previous actions, your actions moving forward will be based on truth instead of just what you tell yourself.

　　你怎么处理你这种能力?你可以由此在生活中做出更多的选择，坦诚对己也建立在以前的行为上，你以后的行动将会以事实为基础，而不只是你的言词。

　　Despite what your subconscious may be telling you, you can have love with no limits. The key is to unconditionally love yourself first.

　　不管你的潜意识告诉你什么，你都能够拥有无尽的爱，关键是首先你要无条件地爱自己。
