There were smiling children all the way. Charily they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway, wave to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penang. Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives. This is the simple village people of Malaysia. I was moved.
I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car, so this was the first time I was on a train. I did not particularly relish the long train journey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread. I looked about the train. There was not one familiar face. I sighed and sat down to read my Economics.
It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia. Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore, so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past. As we went beyond the city, I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green. Then the first village came into sight, Immediately I came alive; I decided to wave hack.
From then on my journey became interesting. I threw my magazines into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life. Then everything came alive. The mountains seemed to speak to me. Even the trees were smiling. I stared at everything as if I was looking at it for the first time.
The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry. I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3:00 pm. Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth. I looked at the people all around me. They all looked beautiful. When my uncle arrived with a smile, I threw my arms around him to give him a warm hug (拥抱). I had never done this before. He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile. We walked arm in arm to his car.
I looked forward to the return journey.

Every summer thousands of Americans stay at home instead of going on holiday because they're overweight. They don't want people to see them sunbathing and they don't want to have to squeeze into plane seats，But now，thanks to the growing number of weight-friendly holiday packages，the overweight are having their days in the sun.

"Overweight people will have a great time on our holidays as we don't judge them like other people do，" said Liz Nickels，the owner of Big Adventures，a US-based company that hosts scuba-diving—a sport of swimming underwater while breathing through a tube connected to a tank on your back for larger people. As a way to keep up with the demand for extralarge accommodation，many hotels in the US have started to offer features such as wide beds and hand-held showers. But the best in plus-size vacation lies at Mexico's Freedom Paradise，a 112-room resort(度假胜地) opening this month，which urges guests to" Live Large，Live Free" .

The hotel has wide doorways，reinforced furniture and extra large chairs. It also boasts a private beach to protect people from the stares that can occur on public beaches. "It's not a hotel just for large people. It's a size-friendly place where anyone can enjoy a holiday，" said owner J urrian Kilnk，"What we noticed was that a lot of oversized people don't feel comfortable at resorts. "Staff members of all sizes are hired by the hotel to make overweight people feel OK.

Though many welcome the new service，some feel differently. "I have a real problem with this，"said Nancy Lenhart，the owner of Camp La Jolia，a Californian weight-loss and fitness camp.

     You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be
a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. "They" did things to you which caused all of your pain and
suffering. "They" are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as "they" are around. Or you may blame
yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化)your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to
stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
     Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who
might like to control their lives, but they don't let this get in the way. They know they have their
weaknesses, yet they don't blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the
matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的)moment of life is a gift and that storms are a
natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
     Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities,
yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that
cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love,
inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and
creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
     In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a
job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for
months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the
grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
     In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear
intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
