It is not difficult to imagine a world short of ambition. It would probably be a kinder world: with out demands, without abrasions, without disappointments. People would have time for reflection. Such work as they did would not be for themselves but for the collectivity. Competition would never enter in. conflict would be eliminated, tension become a thing of the past. The stress of creation would be at an end. Art would no longer be troubling, but purely celebratory in its functions. Longevity would be increased, for fewer people would die of heart attack or stroke caused by tumultuous endeavor. Anxiety would be extinct. Time would stretch on and on, with ambition long departed from the human heart.

Ah, how unrelieved boring life would be!
There is a strong view that holds that success is a myth, and ambition therefore a sham. Does this mean that success does not really exist? That achievement is at bottom empty? That the efforts of men and women are of no significance alongside the force of movements and events now not all success, obviously, is worth esteeming, nor all ambition worth cultivating. Which are and which are not is something one soon enough learns on one’s own. But even the most cynical secretly admit that success exists; that achievement counts for a great deal; and that the true myth is that the actions of men and women are useless. To believe otherwise is to take on a point of view that is likely to be deranging. It is, in its implications, to remove all motives for competence, interest in attainment, and regard for posterity.
We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents. We do not choose our historical epoch, the country of our birth, or the immediate circumstances of our upbringing. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time or conditions of our death. But within all this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we shall live: courageously or in cowardice, honorably or dishonorably, with purpose or in drift. We decide what is important and what is trivial in life. We decide that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how indifferent the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose, so are our lives fomp3ed. In the end, fomp3ing our own destiny is what ambition is about.

To forgive may be divine, but no one ever said it was easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your grudge. But forgiveness is possible — and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.

“People who forgive show less depression, anger and stress and more hopefulness,” says Frederic, Ph.D., author of Forgive for Good. “So it can help save on the wear and tear on our organs, reduce the wearing out of the immune system and allow people to feel more vital.”

So how do you start the healing？ Try following these steps:

Calm yourself. To defuse your anger, try a simple stress-management technique. “Take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, someone you love,” Frederic says.

Don’t wait for an apology. “Many times the person who hurt you has no intention of apologizing,” Frederic says. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. So if you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.” Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person who upset you or condoning of his or her action.

Take the control away from your offender. Mentally replaying your hurt gives power to the person who caused you pain. “Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you,” Frederic says.

Try to see things from the other person’s perspective. If you empathize with that person, you may realize that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear — even love. To gain perspective, you may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. Research has shown that people who forgive report more energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. “For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge,” Frederic says. “But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.”

Therer are different kinds of love in our life, such as the love between relative,the love between the lover, the love between the schoolmate, and so on . we should know clearly the feeling with different people, or that it may bring us a lot of unconvenience and embarrassment.

The love between our parents is so comfortble, we bring up under this kind of love, their love is so selflessly, and then we live our childhood under the love of schoolmates, then gradually we may meet the people that we are looking for and got the love of lover—sweet love.

Once saw a sentence: love is attracted by excellence. Yeah! Love in chinese is爱,and at first we must consider him or her as our friends, and from so many friends we choose one as our prince or princess, and you must choose only one, hehe! I find chinese character have so deep moral. No wonder chinese character is so difficult to learn.

In all, love is great and holily, just cherish all kinds of love in life, and treat love seriously.

Wish we all have beautiful love in life and enjoy it!

When I am walking in the road by myself, my heart is empty, listening to the music, it seemed I am just a passerby in the city, so strange about everything. I know I am so perplexed, I know I need someone direct my way, what will I do in the future? Which city should I stay? I really do not know.

Everything that all out of control, we can not predict tommorrow, may be meet someone，your life will totally changed, so really a mistery about the future, will you get along with the common people or the excellent people? Does your life-partner is the one that you are longing for? Will you follow others but deny your opinion? For me, I do not like go with the stream, I always thought my opinion is right from my first sense, luckly it is seldom wrong,

Today suddenly skip over my cousin’s album, I am so amazed that a lot of memories that I forgot . she changed a lot—more beautiful than before, one year did not see her, feel really strange, also including my family, may be I am adapt the life ouside, everytime when I am return back home, I feel so boring at home, now we are all gradually estrange our rootedness hometown, for working in far away cities. The sensation become more and more common, I do not know if this new year I return back home, what feeling will I have since one year leaving, I am now feel so strange about the family.

People is changing, life is changing, Does my opinion changing?—yeah, I find I am changing now gradually, thought more and worry more, someone say this is the mature phenomenon, may be right but may be wrong, no matter what will happen, I will be brave insist my thoughts, seize my happiness confidently, life is a long long way to go, grasping today and make the most of it to do something is important.

Life always has someone who passed by, some of them go the same direction with us, some of them may go along with us in opposite direction,.may be the one go the opposite direction we forget them easily, we just consider them as the passers-by.

And also there are some of people go along with us in the same way, we may meet by chance and they became our friends, they accompanied with us go a long way in our life, just because of these people we feel not lonely and safe, in life we may meet a lot of people, we also do not how him or her, In my opionion, I just judge people by my feeling, I always thought my first feeling is really correct, In many occasions, when I am puzzled, just follow my feeling, I do not know whether it is right or wrong, but this sense went along with me and conquered difficulties one by one.

We are all expect someone who will go together with us in life, someone who can take care of us when we are ill, someone who can help us when we are in difficulty, someone who can give us safety when we are in danger, but life like to make jokes with us, we all feel it is hard to meet or wait that people.

But because of the people who appeared in our life, we once laughed, we once moved, that all make the life so colourful and wonderful. We appreciate the people who appeared in our life !

Pursuing a hobby in one’s spare time can  bring various rewards.A hobby can provide us with both interest and entertainment.It can be something from which we learn more about ourselves or about the world.It may introduce us to friends who share our tastes and interests and from whom we can also learn.
    While choosing a hobby that suits our individual needs,we have to consider several factors.For one thing ,we have to take into account how much free time we can spend on a certain hobby and the amount of money with which to buy equipment or other things needed for it.For another,we have to think about what benefit we are likely to gain from it.We may also wish to choose between a hobby we can pursue alone and one we can share with others.

    Of course,there are a great many hobbies to choose from.Some people enjoy collecting coins or stamps;other choose to spend their free time on sports or music.There are creative hobbies such as painting or model making for those who wish to do something with their hands.All of these,and many others,can all bring us rewards.However,it is a pool man without one hobby,I think.

In this summer I got a little puppy.She was one month old with coffee fair，black face and white paws.She was very cute and small for 1KG，but she is growing up now with 3.5KG heavy and not as beauty as younger.

At first I don’t like her，because I am afraid of dogs.I always worry she would bite on me and I have to inject some rabies vaccine.My husband love dogs，so “love me love my dog”I decided to own a dog in our home.Compare with time passed by，we build  deep friendship through feed，training and playing.I don’t fear her no longer，even I can touch her head and mouth.I call her Milk and speak English to her.How amazing she can understand “sit down，come here and jump”some simple orders soon.

Thoug Milk is a clever dog，but she is really a naughty girl.She bites everything：shoes，paper，dustbin and so on.Her sharp paws makes my sofa terrible and some times she excretes waste matter on the floor.Our toilet training is not successful.

Milk is a lucky dog，because we spoil her very much that we give her own red house，fashion clothes，even taking her to the restaurant having tasty food and traveling as we are.She bring us happy as same as trouble.We see her as a member of our family and we love her，the cute，naughty little dog.

 To be honest,I have no interests in the international affairs,especially the political issues,and most of my attention is paid to my daily life and work.I also have no passion for the so called the lastest fashion trend,and I just follow my heart and eyes and choose what I like most.I won’t betray my own feeling and follow something like because most of the people are doing this way or whatever.Most of the time, I just want to be myself,fashionale or rustic,open or close,anyway that’s me.
  Maybe that’s the reason why though I’m a very traditional person I can accept every kind of concepts.
  It’s not a paradox,but a reality.I admit that to pay more attention to national or international affairs will broaden your horizon and deepen your viewpoints as well,but I really have no interests in that and also it’s not the only way to enrich our lives.Keep your eyes open to the little things which happen everyday around us will also make us think a lot.Similarly,if you have some knowledge of fashion trend,you may dress yourself up more attractively,but the best way to show yourself is to have what fit you most and meanwhile you need to feel comfortable.
  On the contrary, if you just follow the trend blindly, you will just make your life more complicated and there is no benefit.You will just miss what’s really important to you.
  So let’s just be ourselves, and set the goal what’s is most suitable to us but not what other people deem important. Only you know what is best for you.

·        Only a person far away from home knows what homesickness is.

It is the welling-up tears in your eyes, the lump in your throat, the waving ands when the train is drawing out of the station and taking you away from home. It is the strength with which you walk the three miles to your home with heavy bags in your hands after a long tiring trip, and the halt, excitement, and hesitation at the doorstep.

It is the impatience, anxiety, misery, fear, and wild guesses when you are waiting for a letter from home. It is the never fading joy of reading it again and again in bed.

It is the unusual patience and indomitable willpower with which you do to the ticket office at midnight and stand in a long line before the small window, and the ecstasy when you at last get a ticket at ten o’clock the next morning.

It is the sudden delight of closeness that strikes you when you meet a person from the same town, or even a stranger who has just been there. It is the eagerness to ask about everything, the trees, the hills, and your dear old folks. It is the sparkling eyes when you come upon a few words about your hometown in one corner of a newspaper.

It is the fear to sing “Home, Sweet Home” in case of a burst of tears. It is the murmur of “Mummy” in your dreams. It is the mere thought of the homemade cake making your mouth water. And it is the small grocery next door and the shop owner’s friendly smile that keeps on appearing in your dreams.

It is the sensitiveness you begin to develop. You cannot help daydreaming at the whistle of a train, and your eyes moisten at the sight of a house or even a tree that looks like the one in your hometown. It is the unspeakable sadness that creeps over you when you stand alone in the darkening dusk and see birds flying back to their nests and everybody hurrying home.

It is the silent sigh ad faint pain in your heart when you begin reading the story, “That spring forty years ago, I waved farewell to my village and my dear mother…”

So warm a word is home, and such a sweet sadness is homesickness.

is to be tasted ,to some extent ,for many times ,i think to myself.

today ,life played a little joke on me, from which till now i can hardly recover.

after a month’s hesitation and  fooling around ,i ,eventually persuaded myself to touch on some translation and reading work,however ,the first day greeted my withso much diappointment.

with aching shoulders and smarting eyes with the brightness of the screens,i am writting this special experience. after breakfast ,and after reading the translation work done by jessie,i was so encouraged that i tried myself,too.

for a long time ,and for many times ,i have been told about the excellent wording of the economist ,which makes one understan the meaning but fail to describe it in a proper and clear way. this was the first time for me to try translating the articles from it ,mabybe because of my lack of knowledge on current affairs ,i did not know many terms ,let alone translating them out.however ,i did not give up ,and i tried on and on ,as the article was chosen at random ,it was very long and i kept translating it into english for several hours ,after time-and-again-perishing and correcting work.i finaaly finished such tough work.but when it was the time for me to publish my work,there was something wrong with the website,and all my efforts were ,without doubt ,in vain.

i sat there ,still ,and kept eyeing the screen for several minutes and plucked up courage and cheered myself up ,and i tried another piece from FT,which was shorter and a little easier ,but ,in the end ,was met with the same problem out of my expectation,after a long time of thinking and weighing between sentences and words.

at this time ,i was totally overwhelmed and i gave up.

i hope tomorrow,i would really pick up what i have to do and finish before going back to school.
