I used to hate my mother because she worked a lot and didn’t spend much time with me.Then one Friday morning I took part in a three-day program for teenagers.Whether you believe it or not,that weekend changed my life.

On Sunday,the leader did an interesting exercise called “Chocolate or Toys”.He asked a girl which she liked better,chocolate or toys.She chose chocolate.Then he asked her to choose again between chocolate and chocolate.Of course,she had no choice.

This exercise told us that sometimes we don’t have a choice in life,and that sometimes we have to accept something,rather than complaining.

A girl stood up and started talking about her mom who was a drug addict(吸毒者) and how much she hated her mother.

“I want a new mom,” she cried.

“Unluckily,you can’t have one,” the leader replied.“You have to accept the mother that you have.”

My father and I used to climb the mountain near my house.Walking together,my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences.He always told me,“You should have goals(目标) like climbing the mountain.” Without mountain climbing that we both enjoyed,we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy.It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.

Once we climbed a very high mountain.It was a challenge for me because I was only ten years old.During the first few hours of climbing,I enjoyed the flowers,trees and the bird singing.But as time passed,I got a pain in both of my legs.I wanted to stop climbing.In fact I hated it at that moment,but my father said to me,“You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain.” At that time,I was too young to understand his words.But late after that,I got new hope and confidence(信心).I found myself standing at the top of the mountain.
