  John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique violin and played it in the crowded subway station.The music from the violin was delicately streaming throughout the whole station.However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music.A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around.John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.

  However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price.Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music feast.

  I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with incurable illness.He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day.Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three months.After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife.But now, it is impossible to make up for it.

  It is no use crying over spilt milk.We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them.

  Actually, I also missed something precious before.The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple:we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.

  Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means reliable.There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people's lives, they have only done two things:waiting and regretting.The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it.We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc.However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer realize our wish, because we have lost it by then.

These days, many passers-by always spot a beggar on the Jiaochangkou Street in Yuzhong District of Chongqing in southwest China.
The beggar’s name is Xia Haibo, and he was born in Meihe Village, Tianmen City of Hubei Province. Being 25 years old, he is quite a special beggar in some ways — he doesn’t beg on his knees, as other beggars do when begging. Rather, he often stands in the crowded street, either reading a book or thinking about something carefully. He also started a blog on the Internet which has been clicked more than 500,000 times. He likes reading — he has read many classical Chinese poems. He has kept writing and recently, he has planned to publish his writings.
In 1998, Xia entered Tianmen Middle School as the best student in his town. However, a year before he took the college entrance examination, he came down with a high fever and was later diagnosed (诊断) as having rheumatoid arthritis (类风湿性关节炎). In order to treat his disease, his father borrowed 60,000 yuan from relatives and friends. However, with this money, he didn’t recover from the disease. He did not want to become a burden (负担) to his family any more. So in July, 2006, he left his hometown and went to Wuhan to make a living by begging.
Begging has become a job to Xia now. However, he doesn’t plan to go on living like this. “By July 24, 2008, when I have been begging for two years, I will stop my begging life. I promise,” he said.
It is his plan that by using the money he “earns”, he will rent a small shop in his hometown and keep on writing in his spare time.
Right now, he is trying to finish a book of his own. The book, called Love Is With Me, tells about the people who helped him during his begging life.
