Homesickness can be a terrible feeling for anyone who travels away from their home town, country or simply away from the house they live in for a period of time. It is a strong feeling of wanting to go back to your own places very much. Some people get homesick easily while never experience it at all.
Different people deal with homesickness in different ways. Some ring home and have a chat with the people who they think ‘home’ – often their mum or dad. This may be a good idea for you to feel that you are not . It reminds you that home and the people you love are still there and that you will see them soon. However, it can make the homesickness even . By talking to people from home, it can make you miss them more! It can make you want to be home even more and make you realise you miss your loved ones. For this very reason, some people find better not to contact home but to let the feeling pass by doing fun activities. This can not only work as a good way to lonely feelings that homesickness can cause, but can also work well towards helping you get used to the place which you are living or staying in. Reminding yourself that where you are can make you see the bigger picture; that home is great, but where I am right now is also great different reasons!
In German there is a(n) which is quite opposite to homesickness and that is ‘Fernweh’. This means the feeling of wanting to get away and see new places.

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce（弹跳）back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of . If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don't look down on your by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don't let other people set for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be .
Don't love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only you've been, but also where you are going.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words .You can't get them back. Yesterday is history,
tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that's why we call it "the present" Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
