Reason, Season or Lifetime

前两个星期，朋友发来这篇有意思的电邮，我在忙……忙……忙……的日子中，没有时间阅读。直到昨天，接到了学生爸爸的电话简讯，说给孩子请了老师回家上课，不来了。

我有点难过，因为和这个孩子相处愉快，每次上课都是一次愉快的交流。我教他学语文，他跟我分享他喜欢的科学；有时他那个聪明的头脑会嘲笑我，说我居然不知道某些历史上重要的大日子……虽然这种时候很窘，但是也只能承认后生可畏。所以，真是有点舍不得，其实……

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.

When you know which one it is, you will understand why and how that association was formed, and why that association is growing or waning.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need expressed - by that person or by yourself. One person needs assistance, guidance and support and sees the other person as capable of delivering it. To the recipient, the giver seems godsent, and they are.

They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, one person say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that the need has been met, the desire is fulfilled, the work is done. The prayer sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Be wise and let it go ... have no regrets about the changes taking place. Simply celebrate the good times shared in the past.

Some people come into our lives for a SEASON, because our turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring an experience. They may teach something new. They may give joy or pain. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson and put what you have learned to build other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind , but friendship is clairvoyant and all-seeing.

So ask yourself ... which of your relationships and associations are a reason, a season or a lifetime?

我常常很执著，放不开一段感情，放不开一场相聚，放不开一些偶尔捡拾而来的快乐。但是，终究要放开的。对于老师来说，学生也不是永远的，所以要放开。让他从我这里毕业，然后到下个老师那里去。
