1.There is a solution, ALWAYS 1. 总会有解决办法的 As I mentioned shortly before, I don’t know his mind-set or way of thinking but he always had a solution for every complication! It is easier to look at things from another view and to give advice to someone else but he always gave reasonable solutions. I crashed my car once and I didn’t know what to do so I went to him. 就像我之前说过的那样，我不知道这种心态，或者说不懂这种想法，但是在棘手的问题上他总能有办法解决。从另一个角度看问题就变得很容易，给别人意见也很容易，但是他总能很好的处理这些问题 。曾经我把车子撞坏了，不知道怎么办的时候就去找他。 他让我平静的给我父亲打个电话，讲清楚事情是如何发生的。不管你信不信，这件事情都还进展顺利。不是很好，但是也还能理解。我父亲告诉我，在那种情况下，他也会出事。 2.Not everything turns out perfectly 2. 并非一切都能完美 I went to him for a haircut. It was summer 2011 in July. We had the deepest conversation about all kinds of stuff. We talked for hours. One year before, I told him that I was happy, had friends, a perfect car and I had a lot of money (from my parents) and everything was going great. He responded with a secret smile filled with sadness. I clearly remember he told me, “I don’t want to put you down Koko (my nickname), but things change all of the time and you will have to accept them.” 我去他那里剪过一次头发。那是2011年的7月。我们就诸多事情来了一次深刻的交流，我们一直说了好几个小时。一年以前，我告诉他，我很快乐，有朋友，有车子，还有很多钱（父母给的），一切都很美好。他用一个充满了悲伤地神秘笑容回应了我。我很清楚的记得他是这样说的“我不想惹你不快，事情会随着时间的推移而改变，但是你得要学会接受一切。” Fast-forward, it was 2013, lots of things had changed. I had couple of friends because all the rest became disinterested. I started making money on my own . I no longer had all the free time in the world. This was not a bad thing, but quite the opposite. I was living life on my own and it was beautiful. 很快的，2013年的时候，很多事情都变了。我的那堆朋友因为很多事情变得冷漠。我也开始自己赚钱。我再也没有那么多的空余时间。这都不是坏事，但是已经很不一样了。我自己独自生活，但是也觉得还好。 3.Money is a must 3.钱是必要的 Then a couple of years ago, we had a talk about money and its meaning. He stated it clear with two sentences, “Money is a must and you have to earn it with both your hands. Money is not going to make you happy, but an absence of money can buy you whole lot of miseries.” I live on these two sentences. I don’t know where he got this knowledge from, but I looked at him like I was looking at a wizard! 两年前，我们也就钱的问题讨论过，也很有意思。他用两句话就清楚的表达了，“钱是很必要的，你得凭自己的双手去赚。钱不能保证你就一定能快乐，但是没有钱你会很痛苦。”我现在就是靠这两句话活着。我不知道他是从哪里得出的这些理论，但是看着他，我仿佛就看见了方向。 That’s most of my hairdressers’ wisdom. I had many deep conversations but I don’t want to break my fingers writing all that. I hope you will find your own “seer hairdresser.” 以上是那些大部分是理发师的智慧。我们有很多深刻的对话，但是我还不想写下来。我希望你可以找到你自己的“预言美发师。” |
