How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my destiny(命运).I cannot change it."
Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external(外部的)factor.
I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn't realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone(unless it contributes to your success),and get your mind and body to work! Don't expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone's life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand(or sit)there, do something to improve your life.

It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can't imagine we will do without him when he's gone.
Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 per cent of the market under Bill's leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.
As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company's most competitive(竞争的) areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.

I lived in Dallas, Texas nearly all my life with my mom, dad and older sister. We were 41 to respect others, value education, and get all that we could out of life. My parents always say, “ 42 hard and the world is yours.” They are never without a 43 word of advice or a bit of encouragement when life gets tough.
My parents always 44 me to go to college. However, when I 45 at 16 years old that I’d rather get married to a man than go to college, they 46 stopped telling me they loved me and I could anything I wanted to. 47 , they persuaded me. I graduated from high school and currently 48 the University of Oklahoma studying medicine. I want to make the 49 a better place to live in.
Every time I call home to tell them about a 50 I received in Chemistry Lab or Microeconomics or whichever 51 it is that I’m working hardest for at the moment, they tell me how 52 of me they are. I know there are college kids out there that have no one to call home when they an “A” on a project and I feel incredibly 53 to have my parents.
Don’t get me wrong: We’ve had our share of 54 . I was the angry teenager and they were the awful 55 that wouldn’t let me stay out all night or let me get my tongue pierced(扎洞).But somehow, we 56 to work through those issues. They never 57 loving in me or believing in me.
I 58 everything I am to my parents. Without their 59 love and encouragement, I wouldn’t believe I can change the world. My parents taught me to always 60 for what I believe in. So I’m working toward something really great and can only hope I continue to make them proud.
