This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington. As I searched the name, I found that there were two famous people having the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts（花生）, while the other led some sort of army across America. I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; let the coin decide. I flipped(掷) a coin and Ah! Tails (背面)! My report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.
Weeks later, I stood in front of the classroom and proudly read my homework. But things started to get strange. I looked around the room, only to find my classmates with big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes and my stone-faced teacher. I was completely lost. “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Oh well, I dropped the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American War of Independence.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that my teacher meant that George Washington?
Of course, my subject result was awful. Sad but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to the headmaster Miss Lancelot, but she said firmly: No re-dos; no new score. I felt that it was not fair, and I believed I deserved a second chance. So I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, I sat in the headmaster’s office again, but this time a completely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the terrible moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster told me I was good enough to skip(跳过) the 6th grade and started the 7th grade next term.

Dear Ronny,
Years ago you came to me for help. You said, “Grandpa, how is it that you’ve so much in your life? You’re still full of energy, and I’m already tired of trying hard. What should I do?” Here is what I believe.
I think a lot of it has to do with how a person looks at things. I call it ‘keeping your eyes wide ’.
First, realize that life is filled with , but many are good ones. If you don’t keep watching for them, you’ll miss
of the excitement. Welcome challenges(挑战). They’ll make you wiser, stronger, and more powerful than you were the day before. When you make a mistake, be thankful for the things they teach you.
It’s also important to decide what you want. Then keep your mind focused on it, and be prepared to receive it.
But be ready to end up in some new places too. As you grow up, you’ll be given bigger shoes to fill. So be ready for endings challenging beginnings. Sometimes we have to be brave enough to move from the
to the unfamiliar.
Remember that your decisions will create your successes and failures(失败). So consider all the roads ahead, and decide which ones to follow. Then believe in yourself, get up, and get going.
Most important of all, never give up yourself. The person that ends up as a winner is the one who has the strong will to win. Give life everything you’ve got, and life will give its back to you.
Love always,
Grandpa
