10．To Mr．Alcohol
You've been with us for a long time．I won't forget all the pain you've caused for us．
Do you remember the night you almost took my father's life？I do．He loves you．Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me．He's addicted to you，to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them．You just sat back and laughed as his car went spinning through the street，crashing into two other cars．He wasn't the only one hurt by you that night．
Do you remember the night of my first high school party？You were there．My friends were intrigued  by you．They treated you as if they were never going to see you again，drinking all of you that they could．I spent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen completely．"I'm so embarrassed，"they said as I held their hair back so that they could vomit （呕吐）．"I'm sorry，"they said when I called taxies for them，walking them out and paying the driver in advance．"This won't happen again，"they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped （洗胃）．Two 15-year-old girls slept in hospital beds that night thanks to you．
Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17-year-old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lessons？Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car and killed the two people in the other car？He died the next morning too．His sister walked home from her dance lesson，and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the sidewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio．She didn't realize her brother was in the midst of it all．She never saw him again．And it's all your fault．
I wish you'd walk out of my life forever．I don't want anything to do with you．Look at all the pain you've caused．Sure，you've made people happy too from time to time．But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is inexcusable．Stop luring（诱惑）in the people I love．Stop hurting me，please．

9．Laughter is one of the most effective way to deal with anything unpleasant．
As a single mother of two young girls，my life is stressful sometimes．I love my girl，and there are times when it is difficult to satisfy the demands of a child and a full-time student．Although telling a couple of jokes can't make them to disappear，turning chores into games certainly helped．Getting up in the mornings and getting ready for school are much more enjoyable when there is hearty laughter．
Laughter is the best medicine．Last summer the close family member was diagnosed with cancer．The doctor told him that he only had a couple of months to live．But he lived every day to the fullest，laughed and having fun．The doctor said it was her appositive attitude that kept him living so long．Because of that he had much more days than the doctor originally foretold．
That Robert Frost said，"If we couldn't laugh，we would all go stupid．Laughter may not make all the problems disappear，but laughter softens the blows that could easy bring us down．"

8．There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident．After the accident，only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained．
He was a brilliant，creative，and educated man．He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world，so he became very depressed after his accident．He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way．Then，he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult．An idea occurred to him．"Why not write to other people who need encouragement？"
He wrote to the prison ministry（监狱长） about sending letters to the prisoners．The prison minister replied，"Writing to the prisoners is acceptable，but your letters will not be answered．"
Filled with excitement，the man knew he could write his letters．He began sending one-way messages of God's love，hope，strength，and encouragement．He wrote twice a week，testing his strength and ability to the limit．He poured （倾诉）his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience，sense of humor，optimism（乐观），and faith．
It was difficult to write those letters，especially without hope of a reply．One day he received a letter from the prison ministry．It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail．
The letter said，"Please write on the best paper you can afford．Your letters are passed from cell （单人牢房）to cell until they literally（逐字地） fall to pieces!"
No matter what circumstances （环境）life may present，we all have unique experiences，abilities，and God-given talents．We can discover ways to reach others who desperately （极度渴望地）need messages of encouragement and strength．
