Have you ever tried to draw a straight line, only to find it turns out all wrong? Or, wanted to show 1 at a party but the song you’d practised so many times suddenly 2 more difficult?
I’ve had both these 3 . As a Senior 3 student, I have to 4 many exams. Each time, I enter one, thinking “I 5 fail this time.”
But don’t be surprised --- it’s not 6 we don’t try, or don’t do enough preparation, 7 don’t take it seriously. On the contrary, it is because we put ourselves under too much 8 . It is thinking: “I must…” that makes us taste the terrible flavor of 9 ．
We often 10 to our friends: “Don’t be too hard 11 yourself!” But when we 12 our own goals, we may not listen to our own advice．
In doing so, we are making our path to success increasingly difficult．
So why not 13 this crazy pursuit(追求)to get the best? Just face the problem 14 before you with a calm mind, enjoy the hard work and you will succeed．
In my opinion, 15 a calm state of mind is a skill for life. For people who want to succeed, 16 this is a very important lesson．
So 17 time when you’re trying to draw a straight line or 18 a performance, tell yourself: “If I can just do it better than last time, it’s a 19 ． ”
Keep a calm state of mind, and you will be happy 20 you succeed or fail．

Those days life was so hard that I finally wished that I could just be “left alone”.
The thought of going somewhere by myself would give me so much 1 . but then I’d remember when I was alone. Not that 2 _ left me. I was alone by myself in crowded places. It was the 3 that I built around me that would not 4 the outside in or the inside out.
When I was a child, I would play this silly 5 . It was always 6 _ because a place in a corner or under a table would do. My favorite place was simply to pull a blanket over my head. I would lie there and 7 , “Right now no one in the world knows where I am!” That thought was so 8 .
If you knew me well enough this wouldn’t 9 you…I still do it at 60. It drives my dogs crazy, because they find me and start digging at the blanket until they find a way in. All three of them 10 me. That thought is so satisfying, too.
I want you to know that at times we all wish that we could be left _11 . The fact that you can be alone with yourself and enjoy it shows clearly who you are. Imagine for a 12 being locked in a room with someone you 13 . It would be torture. So, if you find peace with being with yourself, that is good. However, if you are trying to build a wall so no one can ever 14 , it can’t happen.
The light of love can find a 15 through the tiniest cracks. You can pull the covers over your head and love will find you.

I pinched（掐）myself, ouch… that hurt, which meant I was not 41 . I walked out of the room with the cup of coffee, 42 my roommate. I asked him whether he prepared that for me, and the answer was YES.

When I was with her, I used to call her after every hour when I was out with my friends. In those days she 53 asked me what was wrong, as she knew that it was my habit. My call at this point of the day to her meant that I was in 54 .
