Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of 1 , teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become.You 2 know who these people maybe(possibly your roommate, neighbor, co-worker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will affect your life in some 3 way.
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful.and unfair at first, but 4 you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason.Nothing happens 5 or by means of good luck.Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. 6 these small tests whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere.It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly 7 .The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become.
Even the 8 experiences can be learned from.In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones.If someone hurts you, 9 you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart.If someone loves you, love them back 10 , not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your 11 and eyes to things.
Make every day count. 12 every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again.Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen.Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high.Hold your head up because you have 13 right to.Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you.You can make of your life anything you wish.Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no 14 .
Most importantly, if you LOVE someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have 15 .And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.
A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.They talked about the 1 topic-happiness.But soon their conversation turned into complaints about 2 in work and life.
To offer his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and 3 with a large pot of coffee and a variety of 4 -plastic, glass, metal, porcelain(陶瓷), som plain-looking some very 5 .The professor told his students to help themselves to hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in 6 .the professor said:"lf you have noticed, all the nice-looking 7 .cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.While it is 8 for you to want only the best for Yourbelves, that is the 9 of your problems and stress.The professor continued," Believe that the cup itself adds no 10 to the coffee.ln most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases it even 11 what we drink.What all of you 12 wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went 13 the best cups.Now 14 this:life is coffee, the jobs, money, and 15 in society are the cups9 which are just tools to hold and 16 life, and the different typesof cups we have don't decide, nor 17 the quality oflife.lf we concentrate only on the cups, we will 18 to enjoy the coffee in it.So don't let the cups 19 you…enjoy the coffee instead."
