Parents give their children calendars that count down the days. Every day in December they can open one of the doors and receive either a small candy or a toy.

父母亲会给他们的小孩一个倒数计时的月历，十二月的每一天，小孩们都可以打开月历上的一个小门，然后从中得到一个小糖果或礼物。

His parents told me that he wasnt going to live, that any day he could just go, and I said to him: "Look, I am going to be coming to your town in Kansas to open my tour in three months.

他的父母告诉我他生命将尽，说不上哪一天就会离开，我就对他说:“你瞧，三个月之后我就要到堪萨斯州你住的那个城市去开演唱会，我希望你来看我的演出，我还要送给你一件我在一部录影带里穿过的夹克。”

I always say that children can make open and willing parents into the best human beings in the world because they have the opportunity to practice being their best selves every single day of the year.

我常常说，孩子会让开明而自省的父母变得更优秀，因为每天他们都不得不注意自己的一言一行对孩子的影响。
