“In this life, what did you miss?” The wife asked the husband when she was 25. The husband replied: “I missed a new job opportunity.” When the wife was 35, the husband angrily told her that he just missed the late bus. At 45, the husband said sadly, “I missed the chance to see my close relative before his last breath.” At 55, the husband said he missed a good chance to retire(退休). At 65, the husband complained, “I missed a dental appointment(牙医预约).” At 75, the wife did not ask the husband anymore, the husband was kneeling(跪)in front of the very sick wife.

The husband hugged the wife tightly. “How did I allow myself to miss your deep love for me for 50 years?” he asked himself. This time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied: “In this life, I did not miss having you!” The husband’s eyes were full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always busy. So much so that he was never thoughtful to his wife.

In this way, when you are gone, your loved ones would have nothing to feel sorry about. In the busy city life, there are many people who are always busy with work and neglect(忽视)the loved ones who care for them. But life is not permanent(永恒的), so always live in the moment. Express thanks to your loved ones in words. Show your care with actions. Treat every day as the last moment of life.

A little stream (小溪) ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. Then it reached a desert, “I went through so many difficulties. I should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed.

At this time, a deep voice said, “ if a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, “that’s because a breeze can fly, but I can’t.”

“That’s because you can’t give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across.” said the desert.

“Give up what I am now? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea.

“The breeze can carry the vapor (水蒸汽) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again.” said the desert. “And whether you’re a river or vapor, your nature never changes.”

Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage (阶段) of her life.
