Always Changing

Mark is leaving, and I’m feeling kind of sad.
You probably don’t know Mark, but you might be lucky enough1someone just like him. He’s been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining2professional skills with a sweet and gentle nature.
And now he’s moving on to an exciting new professional3. It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime, and we’re4for him. But that doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye to him.
Life has a way of throwing these curve(曲线)balls5us. Just when we start to get comfortable with a person, a place or a situation, something comes along to 6the recipe.
Our ability to cope with change7to a great degree, our peace, happiness and contentment in life.
But how do we do that? A friend of mine is fond of reminding us that“survivability depends upon8.”And then there’s Chris the California surf-rat, who once told me that the answer to life’s problems can be9in four words:“Go with the flow.”
I’m not exactly sure , but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of 10—both good and bad . No matter how excellent your skill , there will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no11. The truly successful person expects the unexpected, and is prepared to 12adjustments should the need arise-as it almost13does.
That doesn't mean you don't keep trying to make all your14come true.It just means that when things come up that aren't15in your plan,you work around them—and then you move on。
“Change,indeed,is painful,16ever needful,”said philosopher Thomas Carlyle.“And if memory has its force and worth,so also has17.”
we're going to miss Mark. But rather than stay on the18of our parting,we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future-for him,and for us.And then we'll go out and19
everything we can to make that future happen.20our plans change--again.

On Jan. 3, a netizen(网民)nicknamed “Programmer Humor”published a short story on his micro-blog. It said that there was an old lady who swept nearly every inch of his Internet company. When she passed by a programmer, she took a look at the codes on the programmer’s computer and kindly reminded him, “Be careful, the stack is overfilled!”
Certainly, it is a casual and fictitious(虚构的)story made up by the micro-blogger. However, no one would have guessed that the short blog would eventually cause the first great Internet meme(网络快速爆红现象) of 2011 in China. Suddenly, the mysterious “Sweeping Old Lady” is showing up nearly everywhere and reminding professionals of their mistakes. From 8 a. m. on Jan. 5, some netizens collected stories of the “Sweeping Old Lady” and found she had appeared to give advice in 150 kinds of careers. A netizen even said he had met with a similar situation in real life.
Actually, the “Sweeping Old Lady” is not new figure, but is based on the “sweeping monk (和尚)”in Louis Cha’s famous Kung fu novel of “Tian Long Ba Bu”. The “sweeping monk” is an old monk and does the lowest class of work in Shaolin Temple, but he is actually the No. 1 master in the noel both in Kung fu and in the study of Buddhism.
The “Sweeping Old Lady” is also a great modest master. Lots of netizens wish that they could have such a lady beside them to give them precious suggestions at a key time.
Although there may be 1,000 “Sweeping Old Ladies” in 1,000 people’s minds, it cannot prevent the “Sweeping Old Lady” from becoming the most popular figure on the Internet.
“Programmer Humor” said he is just a programmer in the real world and once he saw the story about the “Sweeping Old Lady,” he wrote it down in his micro-blog because it was funny. He never knew who the original writer of the story was and never thought the story could be so popular.
