저녁식사후 여느때와 다름없이 컴퓨터 앞에 앉아 휴식을 취하고 있었다.
수민이가 들어 오더니 "아빠! 나하고 놀아. 맨날 컴퓨터만 하지 말고"라며 팔을 잡아 끈다.
"수민아! 아빠 피곤해서 좀 쉬어야 되는데..."
"그런데 왜 컴퓨터 앞에 앉아 있어?"
"컴퓨터 보면서 쉬는거야"
"손이 움직이는데... 그게 쉬는거야?"
당신이 너무 바빠서 아이들, 아내를 위해 시간을 낼 수 없다면 당신은 그들을 사랑한다고 말할 수 없다. 사랑은 원할 때 곁에 있어주는 것이며 그를 위해 온전히 자신의 시간을 내주는 것이기 때문이다. 당신이 거기 존재하지 않는데 도대체 어떻게 그들을 사랑할 수 있겠는가?틱낫한의 《힘》중에서
몇 일전 받아 본 고도원의 아침편지에 실린 글이다. 이 글을 읽고 반성을 했었는데... 어제 수민이 행동을 보고 아침에 다시 읽고 또 반성했다.

"인생은 양손으로 다섯 개의 공을 던지고
받는 게임 같은 것이란다.그 다섯 개의 공은
일,가족,건강,친구 그리고 자기 자신이야.
우리는 끊임없이 다섯 개의 공을 던지고
받아야 하는데, 그 중에서'일' 이라는 공은
고무공이라서 땅에 떨어뜨려도 다시 튀어 올라오지
하지만 건강,친구,가족,자기자신이라는 나머지
네 개의 공은 유리공이란다.
그래서 한번 떨어 뜨리면 돌이킬 수 없을 정도로
흠집이 생기거나 금이 가거나 아니면 완전히
깨져버리지.
그 다섯 개의 공 이야기를 제대로 이해해야
제대로 된 삶을 살수 있는거야!"

[원문]
This was written by the President and CEO of Coca-Cola Enterprises, Brian G. Dyson. It was used at Georgia Tech's 172nd Commencement Address Sept. 6, 1991.
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air.
You name them--work, family, health, friends, and spirit, and you're keeping all of these in the air.
You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four balls--family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
How?
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us together.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
Don't forget that a person's greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words carelessly. Neither can be retrieved.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, and Today is a gift: that's why we call it "The Present."
마지막 말이 압권이죠... Present is the Present(=gift)...
