Childish Voice
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why 36 had such a big influence 37a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult.But now, 38 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 39 to express my own 40 on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very 41 experiences. There are still many things 42 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better 43 yourself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life 44 . There are so many things around us that 45 our will. We can’t force life 46 our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we 47 it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves 48 the world. I think we should learn to accept 49 life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to 50 every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more 51 that they slip by and leave you feeling 52 . I realize that I’m not just living 53 myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or 54 .It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one 55 that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.
