Dear Laura,
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You don’t know whether it is true that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you 36 .
I wanted to do something very 37 for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He worked all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it 38 it looked almost new. I was so proud of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet(头盔)and a riding outfit(全套装备）.
I could 39 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I couldn’t sleep the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to 40 the coffee, tea, and morning dishes. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 41 :” To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so surprised. It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 42 lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s promise.
I stood there shocked(震惊的), crying a river, asking myself how my son could 43 this expensive gift.
Of course, the house awoke, and my son was very pleased with my reaction（反应）. Many kisses were exchanged, and I immediately wanted him to 44 my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not exactly what I was expecting. Then I 45 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother ever on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love is 46 present and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you’d love to 47 this story.
Yours,
Hilary

A group of men, highly successful in their jobs, went to visit their old teacher. Soon they began to about the stress in work and life.
The old teacher went to the kitchen and returned a pot of coffee and different kinds of cups: glass, plastic; nice-looking ones, ugly ones; some , some cheap. He told them to help to the coffee.
When all the students were holding a cup of coffee, the teacher said: “I’ve found that all the nice-looking expensive cups were and you’ve left behind the ugly and cheap . While it is for you to take only the best for yourselves, your problems and stress come along.
You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee, what you wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups.
Now think this: life is the coffee. The jobs and money are the cups. They are just outlooks of our life, and the type of cup does not the quality of life. Sometimes, we care about the cup, and we fail the coffee that life offers us. Life hands us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!”
The happiest people don’ t have the of everything. They just make the best of everything.
So please speak kindly, live , and love deeply.

Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce（弹跳）back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of . If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don't look down on your by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don't let other people set for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.
Don't give up when you still have something to give. is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be .
Don't love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only you've been, but also where you are going.
Don't be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.
Don't use time or words .You can't get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift; that's why we call it "the present" Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
