"What is the meaning of life?" This is a question that we all ask ourselves at one point or another of our existence here. It is a question that I have asked myself many times over the years.

“生活的意义是什么？”这个问题我们都在某个生命节点问过自己，或者我们为什么存在。这个问题，在过去这些年中，我问过自己无数次。

The best answer that I ever came across was written by the great psychologist, Viktor Frankl who had survived the Nazi Concentration camps in World War II. Frankl wrote that "The meaning of life is to give life meaning.

"我认为最好的答案是来自维克多•弗兰克，他是一个伟大的心理学家，他在二战纳粹集中营里面存活下来。他说，“生命的意义在于赋予它意义。”

When I was a young boy I gave my life meaning by simply playing, running, jumping, swimming, laughing, and riding my bike.

我还是小男孩的时候，我对于生活的理解就是单纯的玩耍、追逐、蹦蹦跳跳、游泳、没心没肺地大笑，还有骑自行车。

When I went to school I gave my life meaning by learning, studying hard, getting good grades and trying to make my Mom and Dad proud.

大一点去学校了以后，生活就是，学习，还有努力学习，得到好成绩为父母争光。

When I was a teenage boy I found meaning in playing sports, hanging out with my friends, and trying to impress girls.
