I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my job stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself as the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here’s what I want to tell you today : Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, or the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone. Find peole you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways, that, if I had had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.

Today,several friends of mine and I had a discussion on where to travel in the winter holiday. One friend, whose name is Wang Wei, insists on going to Tibet since he is eager to have the experience of being in a place he is not familiar with at all. However, the other friends don’t think it is a proper place to go. For one thing, we are too young. For another, we don’t have enough time or money. They try to persuade him, but he is so stubborn that it seems nothing can change his mind.
As far as I am concerned, Tibet is a beautiful and mysterious place, which is worth visiting as soon as possible. I agree with Wang Wei.
