Last summer a snowstorm hit a small town nearby. I saw, in the local newspaper, a picture of a young woman, a little boy and a younger standing in front of a totally destroyed(摧毁的) house, eyes wide open with fear. I noticed their clothing closely matched ours. This would be a good chance to teach my children to help those unlucky ones.
I their situation to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Martin, and encouraged the boys to donate some of their less favorite toys. My little daughter, Meghan, quietly when the boys piled up the old toys. After a while, Meghan walked up with Lucy, her much-loved doll, hugged tightly(紧紧抱在) in her arms. She put her round little into Lucy’s, giving her a final kiss, and then put her down on top of the others. “Oh, honey”, I said, “you don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded, trying to hold back her tears(眼泪). “Lucy makes me happy, Mummy. Maybe she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”
The boys watched in surprise as their baby sister put Lucy in the . When I stared(凝视) at Meghan, thinking over my donation, they went, without a word, to their room and both with their loved items. Martin thought for a short while, then looked over at Meghan and put his model car next to Lucy. Amazed, I took my old jacket out of the box, and put in it a new one I had bought the week before, hoping the young woman would it as much.
Anyone can give away what they no longer require, but true generosity is giving what you . I, who had meant to teach, was taught.

“Another bad day at school?” my father asked as I came into the room.
“How could you ? I didn’t shut the door heavily or anything,” I replied. Over the past two months I had either done this or thrown my backpack the room every time I came home from school. Papa thinks it has something to do with moving to a new house.
“I know this move has been hard on you. Leaving your friends and cousins behind is tough,” Papa said, as he put his arm around my shoulder. “ you must remember is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends.”
“You don’t know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They won’t even give me a to pitch (投球) here. All I get to play is right field, and that’s the worst!”
Papa turned toward me. “Things will get , I promise you. Let me ask you, do you know why you were named David Lorenzo?”
“Yes, your name is David and grandfather’s name is Lorenzo.”
“Very good, and what makes your grandfather so ?”
“He was the first in the family to come to this country and all that,” I answered.
“That is only correct. Your grandfather was a very great man. In Mexico, he had been a teacher. When he came to America he could only get low-paid labor jobs because he didn’t speak the language. It took him two years before he spoke English well enough to be allowed to teach here, but he did it. He never complained because he knew could be difficult. Did he ever tell you that?” my father asked.
I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. “No. That must have been hard,” I said sheepishly（腼腆的）.
“Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it a few years for people to see who you are,” said Papa.
All I could say was, “Okay.” Then I asked, “What should I do now?”
Laughing, Papa said, “How about you pitch a few to me? You need some work.”

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.

Maybe you have seen this in schools: Some students study nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much l time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they understand that smart work can make them successful, too.
Hard workers don’t m working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions. “Why should I suffer this?” “Isn’t there a better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. P
in every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers. There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an unusual letter from someone who c
that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.
How could empty soapbox go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machines let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a s . He put a large X-ray (X射线) machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapbox. A
teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted.
“Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way.” a worker said.
“Really? How?” “We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes and leave the other o with soap. There would be no need for an X-ray machine, two computers, and operating by workers.”
See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only learn from the engineers’ hard work, but also think smart like the workers.
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.
