Hard Life, Hard Choice

人生艰难，难在选择

When you become more and more intelligent, you would have a thought that living is no longer easy, for your burdens are so heavy that you would feel tough. Life is hard, and the choice is hard. What life will be depends on which way you had chosen, and whether you could insist.

懂事之后，就不再觉得活着是一件简单的事情。因为承担的东西太多，才觉得辛苦。人生是艰难的，难在选择。人生会是什么样子，就在于选择了一条什么样的路，并且能否坚持走完它。

The hardness of life, the ignorance of choice
人生艰难，难在不会选择

Though you know that you have a lot to choose, still you cannot figure out which way you should go. You would be afraid of the wrong choice leading to dark life, you would also fear a tough way which was full of hard works or the easy way of lacking fun even more. Thinking a lot, I still made no decision, and the time stops me from taking so long and making the decision at the last moment. The time also hate that I always pray for a good choice I had made and hope not to regret. Merely, the world always won’t let a person get what he wanted. I have to move on with my plenty regret, for there’s no way I can escape and no way to choose, being responsible to myself.
      尽 管知道自己能够选择的路很多，但是始终不知道自己该选择哪一条路。会害怕选错了就会一生陷入黑暗，又怕选到一条难走的路要吃苦，更怕选到一条好走的路让自 己一生平淡无趣。想了许多，仍旧没有定论，然而时间并不允许我犹豫太久，总要在期限的最后一刻才匆匆地做出决定，祈祷着自己一定要选对，未来不要为此刻的 决定后悔。只是，世事总是不会让人如愿的，后悔常有，但是还有是要走下去。因为我已经无路可退，无路可选，必须要为自己的选择负责。

Fearing choices, no one would choose. Sometimes I wanted some advices, but others did not know what I wanted. Finally I did it myself. All things are difficult before they are easy. Once we sure the way we choose, things will be fine. Only if our heart get clear did we make a choice easily.
      因 为不敢选择，也就不会选择。有时会希望能够有人给我一些建议，但是别人并不是我，他们不知道我想要的是什么，最后我还是要自己来做决定。万事开头难，只要 确定了方向，选定了一条路，接下来的一切都会水到渠成，会清楚该做出怎样的选择。只要心不迷茫，选择就不会是一件难事。

The hardness of life, the fear of insistence
人生艰难，难在不敢坚持选择

Finally I chose a way. I was confident at the beginning and I became more and more worried next. “Why there still have no destinations? Why there are so many twists? Am I wrong? I would choose a better way if I know this earlier …” It turns into regret with the fear in my heart and when it becomes desperation, I would no longer walk along the way, fearing that moving on would make me go beyond redemption. However, the reality won’t allow me to elude, still pushing me forwards. I would keep on going with the unpleasant tasks and the road will get flat. Though the destination is unknown, I’ve already gain my confidence.

好不容易选择了一条路，刚开始还能信心十足地走着，可是越往下走就越担心：为什么还没有走到终点？为什么如此曲折？是不是选错了？如果早知道会这样就该选另一条路的……随着心中的担忧变成后悔，成了绝望之后，我就不敢再往前走了，害怕再走下去就会万劫不复。但是现实不允许我逃避，仍旧推着我前行。硬着头皮继续走，走着走着，路变得平坦了，尽管终点还没到，却让我有了信心。
