  While at the park one day, a woman sat down next to a man on a bench near a playground. Thats my son over there, she said, pointing to a little boy in a red sweater who was gliding down the slide (滑梯).

  “Hes a fine-looking boy, the man said. Thats my son on the swing in the blue sweater. Then, looking at his watch, he called to his son What do you say we go, Todd?

  Todd pleaded, Just five more minutes, Dad please. Just five more minutes. The man nodded and Todd continued to swing to his hearts content.

  Minutes passed and the father stood and called again to his son. Time to go now?

  Again Todd pleaded, Five more minutes, Dad. Just five more minutes. The man smiled and said, Okay.

  “My (啊呀), you certainly are a patient father, the woman responded.

  The man smiled and then said, My older son Tommy was killed by a drunk driver last year while he was riding his bike near here. I never spent much time with Tommy and now Id give anything for just five more minutes with him. Ive vowed (发誓) not to make the same mistake with Todd.”

  “He thinks he has five more minutes to swing. The truth is...I get five more minutes to watch him play.

  In life it is critical to prioritize (把……区分优先次序) your values. Look at where you are spending most of your time. Now ask yourself what are the most important things to you.  If the two dont match, then you have a big disconnection in your life. Try to rebalance them, and your divine (神圣的) soul will start to truly feel happy.
