Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came
up, 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 life. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing
the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t
have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really
got a lot from mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to
be in deep thought as well as develop my patience
(耐力).
Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers, trees, and the birds’ singing, but as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit 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, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there at the top, can you see all of the nice things, just like in life.”
At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got new hope and confidence (信心). I found myself standing at the top of the sky, which was as clear as crystal (水晶).

Eyes Can Speak
Much meaning can
be carried clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
Do you have such kind of e 92 ? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he f 93 that he is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable. The same is in the daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at y 94 up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?
Looking too long at someone may seem to be r 95 . But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he loves her. W 96 two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is speaking. Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time, to show something that w 97 cannot express.
Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship b 98 two people and the place where you stay.
