My friend must be the wisest woman on this planet, for she has lived up to the three words “Seize the moment”．Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, or because they are unwilling to try something new．
My sister died a few years ago．We never did have lunch together．I can’t remember how many times I was refused when I called her to go to lunch．She would say to me：“I can’t, my brother．I have clothes on the line．” “My hair is dirty．I wish I had known yesterday．” “I had a late breakfast．” “It looks like rain．” Only after her death did I choose to be a little more flexible(灵活的)．
Life is not made up of things that you do at a particular time, but it demands variety and adventure．As we grow older, the list of promises made to ourselves may get longer．Perhaps one morning, when we wake up, we will find to our surprise that our life is full of “I’m going to”, “I plan to” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit．”
My seize the-moment friend is open to adventure and ready at any moment to make a new start．She keeps an open mind about new ideas．Her great interest in life is contagious．With her around you, you may trade your bad feet for good shoes．
I have not touched ice cream for 10 years．The other day, I stopped off and bought a triple-decker(三层冰淇淋)．If my car had hit an iceberg(冰山)on the way home, I would have died happy．

For as long as I can remember, I have been very 1 at arguing with people．As soon as someone disagrees with me, I get angry because I feel 2 , like the other person is out to show that I am 3 ．And for some reason, I hate being wrong!So my 4 reaction is to get very defensive．I 5 my voice, and I end up saying something I later 6 ．Needless to say, the whole thing ends with me blaming 7 , and the other person feeling alienated(疏远)from me．This bothers me especially because my mother does the exact same thing and I hate 8 ．
I have noticed this tendency in me for a long time now, 9 I have never been able to stop．I did some 10 management work with a therapist(治疗专家)a while ago, but because I moved and 11 an advisor at school who can't see me 12 , I have not been able to continue this important work．They tell you to stop and count to 10, 13 your breathing, calm yourself down before you 14 ．But that's the whole problem．I could never think of 15 myself until it was too late!The 16 things had already come out of my mouth, and I was stuck picking up the pieces．
Right now the 17 is urgent because my relationships with a wonderful boy is 18 because of my being afraid of being wrong．He is closing himself off from me because I have hurt him, and 19 I am no longer attractive as a woman with no confidence in myself and a bad temper．How do I stop ruining my relationships and hating myself?How do I stop 20 being wrong?
