"Everything's a choice" ??

Postby Colin » Thu Aug 28, 2014 8:27 am

Hello,

I wonder if somebody could suggest a translation for the phrase in the title ("Everything's a choice"). I learnt Thai years ago, but my command of the language was never very good, and the succinct abstraction of this phrase is way beyond my ability. :?

I have had the following suggestions, but the friend who offered them wasn't really convinced by any of them...

จะต้องเลือกตลอด

ชีวิตคือการเลือก or การเลือกคือชีวิต

ชีวิตเป็น ทางเลือกของคุณ

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! If there is an existing Thai expression that seems to capture the same notion, that would be even better! Many thanks for your help.

Is this the quote of the given phase , "Everything’s a choice. Nobody’s born good. Nobody’s born evil. " ?
ไม่มีใครเก่งมาตั้งแต่เกิด และไม่มีใครโง่มาตั้งแต่เกิดเหมือนกัน ชีวิตเลือกเกิดไม่ได้ แต่เลือกที่จะเป็นได้

If just "Everything (in life)'s a choice",
ชีวิตคือทางเลือก
ทุกก้าวคือทางเลือกของชีวิต
ชีวิตต้องเลือก


ประมาณนี้มั้งครับ
คนไทยครับ

Thank you, คุณนัตพล. This looks like an affirmative statement on the reality of free will.

ไม่มีใครเก่งมาตั้งแต่เกิด และไม่มีใครโง่มาตั้งแต่เกิดเหมือนกัน ชีวิตเลือกเกิดไม่ได้ แต่เลือกที่จะเป็นได้

"No one is born smart nor is anyone born stupid. Life does not choose to be, but life can choose what it wants to be."

Is this the meaning inherent in the Thai sentence? Thank you.
