One of my happiest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting lazily on the bank.There I would watch the water downstream. There I would also watch the bamboo trees under pressure from the wind and watch them elegantly to their original position after the wind had . When I think about the bamboo tree’s to bounce back(弹回) to its original position, the word flexibility(柔韧) to mind.

Have you ever felt like you are at your point? , you have survived the experience to live to talk about it, though during the experience, you felt emotionally(情感上的) tired, mentally exhausted and you even felt physically.
