I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago and suddenly his wife died of a heart attack. One day, about a week after his wife’s , the teacher said, “Before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a (n) in life that has little to do with this class, but I feel it is very .”
“Each of us is put here on to learn, share, love and appreciate. None of us knows when this fantastic will end. It can be at any moment. Perhaps we must make the most out of every single .” His eyes beginning to , he went on, “So I would like you all to make me a(n) . From now on, on your way, find something beautiful to . It doesn’t have to be something you see — it could be a sweet smell or it could be the sound of the leaves. Please look for these things, and cherish (珍视) them.”
The class was completely quiet. We all our books and got out of the classroom . That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from than I had that whole term. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and what he had said, and I try to appreciate all of those things that we all ignore.
Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today. on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to an ice cream, for as we get , it is not the things we did that we often feel about, but the things we didn’t do.
