A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: “Ah!” To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountains: “Ah!” Curious, he yells: “Who are you?” He receives the answer: “Who are you?” And then he screams to the mountain: “I admire you!” The voice answers: “I admire you!”
父亲与儿子在山里走着。突然，儿子摔了一跤，把自己弄痛了，他叫道：“啊！”让他想不到的是，他听到山谷里有声音在重复他的叫声，“啊！”他很好奇，大声喊道：“你是谁？”他得到的回答是：“你是谁？”然后他对山谷嚷道：“我赞赏你！”那个声音答道：“我赞赏你！”
Angered at the response, he screams: “Coward!” He receives the answer: “Coward!” He looks to his father and asks: “What’s going on?”
儿子对这个回复感到生气，他叫道：“胆小鬼！”那个声音答道：“胆小鬼！”他转向父亲，问：“这是怎么回事？”
The father smiles and says: “My son, pay attention.” The man screams: “You are a champion!” The voice answers: “You are a champion!” The boy is surprised, but does not understand.
父亲笑了笑，说道：“孩子，留心听。”他大声嚷叫：“你是好样的！”那个声音答道：“你是好样的！”儿子很吃惊，但还是不明白。
Then the father explains: “People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE. It gives you back everything you say or do.”
接着，父亲解释道：“人们把这叫做‘回声’，但其实这是‘生活’。它会把你的一言一行都还给你。”
Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life; life will give you back everything you have given to it.”
我们的生活其实只不过是我们言行的折射。如果你想从这个世界上得到更多的爱，那你的心里就得有更多的爱。如果你希望你所在的集体表现得更出色，那你自己就要提高自己的能力。这种关系体现在所有的事情上，体现在生活的方方面面；你对生活付出了什么，你就会得到什么。
