My 16-year-old son，Anton，had gone to the local swimming hole．Most of the kids swim there，and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors．so I had no fears for his safety．
Still，the firefighter's first words“You need to come up here to the Stillwater River”made me catch my breath，and his follow-up words gave me relief：“Your son is OK．”
When I got to the river,I immediately saw the firetruck，ambulance and Anton，wrapped with a towel about his shoulders，sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.
I hurried over to him．“You OK?”I asked．”
“Yeah，”was all he said．But my eyes begged for an explanation，I didn’t get it from myson，however,who tends to play his cards close to his vest．
The story was this：A woman was being swept under water．Hearing the cries，Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation，swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore．
In an age in which the word“hero” is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day,I realized the real thing in my son．The teens are stubborn and self-centred，but that didn’t mean they have no desire to do good．
Still shocked by my son’s daring，I drove him home．Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him-but he had precious little to say．The only words he said were，“What’s for supper?”
I spent some time alone that evening，thinking about the tragedy that might have been．The next morning，when Anton got up，I half expected him to tell me the story．But all he did was toast some bread，pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day．Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep．Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?

Patience is of great importance in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes had past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left when the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Being impatient will possible waste all the effort that we have put it in. Now whenever I am close to lose my patience, I’ll think of this experience.
A man came to the USA from other country. After (settle) down at an island, he went into a cafeteria to get something
(eat). He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order, but nobody did.
(final), a woman with a tray full of food sat down opposite him and informed him
the cafeteria worked.
“Start out at that end,” she said. “Just go along the line and pick out what you want. At other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”
“I soon (learn) how everything worked in the USA,” the man told his friend. “Life’s a cafeteria there. You can get anything you want as long as you are willing to pay the price. You can even get success,
you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you. You have to get up and get it
.”
You can’t change the inevitable. The only thing you can do to control your attitude. Once you reach that point in life, happiness and
(satisfy) can’t be too far away.
