嗨，过去的自己，我知道你总是忙碌，肩膀上承担很多压力。你每天都在为工作和学习拼命，追求更好的生活。

Hāi, guòqù de zìjǐ, wǒ zhīdào nǐ zǒng shì mánglù, jiānbǎng shàng chéngdān hěnduō yālì. Nǐ měitiān dōu zài wèi gōngzuò hé xuéxí pīnmìng, zhuīqiú gèng hǎo de shēnghuó.

承担 (chéngdān) – to bear

压力 (yālì) – pressure

拼命 (pīnmìng) – to strive, to work hard

追求 (zhuīqiú) – to pursue

Hey, past me, I know you’re always busy, bearing a lot of pressure on your shoulders. You work hard every day for your job and studies, chasing a better life.

你觉得只有这样，才能证明自己很努力。但我想告诉你，生活不仅仅是为了成功，有时也需要停下脚步，去感受身边的美好。

Nǐ juéde zhǐyǒu zhèyàng, cái néng zhèngmíng zìjǐ hěn nǔlì. Dàn wǒ xiǎng gàosù nǐ, shēnghuó bù jǐn jǐn shì wèi le chénggōng, yǒu shí yě xūyào tíng xià jiǎobù, qù gǎnshòu shēnbiān de měihǎo.

不仅仅 (bù jǐn jǐn) – not only

停下 (tíngxià) – to stop

脚步 (jiǎobù) – steps, pace

感受 (gǎnshòu) – to feel

You think that only by doing this can you prove that you are working hard. But I want to tell you, life is not just about success; sometimes, you also need to stop and feel the beauty around you.

记得小时候，你最喜欢画画和唱歌。可是，随着年龄的增长，你慢慢忘记了这些你热爱的事情。你认为只有忙碌和不断的工作才能成功，但却忘了自己内心的需求。

Jìdé xiǎoshíhòu, nǐ zuì xǐhuān huàhuà hé chànggē. Kěshì, suízhe niánlíng de zēngzhǎng, nǐ màn man wàngjì le zhèxiē nǐ rè’ài de shìqíng. Nǐ rènwéi zhǐyǒu mánglù hé bùduàn de gōngzuò cáinéng chénggōng, dàn què wàng le zìjǐ nèixīn de xūqiú.

记得 (jìdé) – to remember

喜欢 (xǐhuān) – to like

随着 (suízhe) – with

年龄 (niánlíng) – age

增长 (zēngzhǎng) – to grow, to increase

热爱 (rè’ài) – to love deeply

需求 (xūqiú) – need

Remember when you were little, you loved to draw and sing. But as you grew older, you gradually forgot the things you loved. You thought that only being busy and constantly working could lead to success, but you forgot your inner needs.

我想告诉你：你不需要每天都那么努力，不需要让自己的生活过得那么紧张。偶尔，停下脚步，去做一些自己喜欢的事情，去发现那些小小的幸福，去画画，去大声唱歌，好好去享受每一天。

Wǒ xiǎng gàosù nǐ: Nǐ bù xūyào měitiān dōu nàme nǔlì, bù xūyào ràng zìjǐ de shēnghuó guò dé nàme jǐnzhāng. ǒu’ěr, tíng xià jiǎobù, qù zuò yīxiē zìjǐ xǐhuān de shìqíng, qù fāxiàn nàxiē xiǎo xiǎo de xìngfú, qù huàhuà, qù dàshēng chànggē, hǎohǎo qù xiǎngshòu měi yī tiān.

告诉 (gàosù) – to tell

紧张 (jǐnzhāng) – tense, anxious

偶尔 (ǒu’ěr) – occasionally

发现 (fāxiàn) – to discover

小小的 (xiǎo xiǎo de) – small

享受 (xiǎngshòu) – to enjoy

I want to tell you: You don’t need to work so hard every day, and you don’t need to let your life become so tense. Occasionally, stop and do something you enjoy, discover those small moments of happiness, draw, sing loudly, and enjoy each day.
