A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
悲伤
Grief
One morning, about four o'clock, I was driving my car just about as fast as I could. I thought, Why am I out this time of night? I was miserable, and it came to me: I'm falling in love with somebody I have no right to fall in love with.
一天早上,大约四点钟,我正以最快的速度开车。我想,为什么我在晚上这个时候出去?我很痛苦,我突然想到:我爱上了一个我没有权利爱上的人。
But for me, it is when a student has died. I find the death of a young person the most difficult and painful of times. To explain it to other young people, to see a bright future snuffed out, is just awful. I am haunted by those deaths.
但对我来说,这是一个学生死亡的时刻。我发现一个年轻人的死亡是最困难和痛苦的时候。向其他年轻人解释这一点,看到光明的未来被扼杀,这太可怕了。我被那些死亡所困扰。
That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
虽然曾经如此明亮的光辉现在永远从我的视线中消失。虽然没有什么能使草中的光辉再现,但花中的光辉却能使它重现。我们不会悲伤,相反,我们会在身后找到力量。
With The Key, it was, I had gone through a divorce and losing my father, and just kinda really reminiscing about how much I loved the traditional side of country music, so I made a record that was really traditional from start to finish.

My life isn't that dramatic. My dad really loves me, he just can't talk on the phone. He's too crippled and shy, and that's almost harder. He's there and he loves me, and I try and try and try, it's just impossible to have a relationship.
我的生活没有那么戏剧化。我爸爸真的很爱我,他就是不能打电话。他太跛了,太害羞了,这几乎更难。他在那里,他爱我,我试着,试着,试着,这是不可能有关系的。
My denial and irresponsible attitude about asthma put me at great risk and caused me so much needless suffering. My hope is that the kids I talk to learn to open up about their asthma, become educated about their condition, and seek help.

You dream about the Olympics for so long and you have that one day, then it's over, and when you don't run well there is this huge letdown. It took me years to deal with that. I feel like I almost had to cleanse myself of that experience.

I do remember how it was to be poor. I do remember that in my early years, we had to grow and raise all of our food, even our animals. And I remember in my early life, we didn't even have electricity. So it was very, very hard times then.
我还记得贫穷的滋味。我记得在我的早年,我们必须种植和饲养我们所有的食物,甚至我们的动物。我记得在我早期的生活中,我们甚至没有电。所以那时候非常非常艰难。
There is no harm in patience, and no profit in lamentation. Death is easier to bear (than) that which precedes it, and more severe than that which comes after it. Remember the death of the Apostle of God, and your sorrow will be lessened.
忍耐没有害处,哀恸没有益处。死比死前的更容易忍受,比死后的更可怕。当记念神使徒的死,你的愁苦就必减少。
Although I managed my schedule to be home by late afternoon most days, basically, Roselle raised our children alone. And so I missed out on a lot of wonderful moments, missed watching my kids grow into the wonderful people they are today.

There are always moments of despair when you get close to jobs and lose them at the last second. It feels like getting punched in the stomach. You feel like, 'Why do I do this?' Then you go to bed, get up the next day and forget about it.
总有绝望的时刻,当你接近工作,在最后一秒失去他们。感觉就像肚子上挨了一拳。你会想,‘我为什么要这么做?“然后你上床睡觉,第二天起床,把这件事忘掉。
People who are poor who are living on the edge of poverty or who are living under poverty are tucked away some place else. I don't see them; they don't see me; we don't interact; we have no relation one to the other; no physical relation.
生活在贫困边缘的穷人或生活在贫困之下的人被藏在其他地方。我没有看到他们;他们没有看见我;我们不相互作用;我们彼此没有关系;没有实体的关系。
