My mother only had one eye. And because of this, I never wished her to show up in my school, being afraid that my classmates would I had an ugly mother.
One day during elementary school, I was terribly ill. My mother came .
“Your mom only has one eye?!” asked some of my classmates. I was so embarrassed.
I wished my mother would just from this world. “ If you make me teased(嘲笑),why don’t you just die?” I shouted at her, taking no notice of the sad look on her face. My mother just handed me some medicine and left without saying .
At that time, I felt to say what I always wanted to say, and I didn’t think I had hurt her feelings very much. That night I saw my mom in her room, so quietly, as if she was afraid that she might me. Even so, I hated her tears from one eye. I made a decision : I must study hard and leave my mother.
Years later my dream came true. I was quite successful and lived . I never thought of going back to see my “ugly” mother one day I got a letter, which said, “My son… I’m sorry I only have one eye.

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.
