The teacher stood before his class and was going to hand out the final exam papers. ‘I know how you have worked to prepare for this test,’ he said. ‘And because I know you can do it well, I am willing to offer a B to those who prefer not to take the___.’
Many students thanked the teacher and left. The teacher looked at the remaining students and said, ‘Does anyone else want to get a ‘B’? This is your last Two more students decided to go.
Seven students remained. The teacher then handed out the papers. There were only three sentences on the paper: Congratulations! You have just been an ‘A’ in this class. Keep believing in .
I never had a teacher like that, but I think it is a test that any teacher could give. Students who are not in what they have learned are ‘B’ students at best (充其量).
The same is in our daily life. The ‘A’ students are those who believe in what they are doing because they have both successes and failures. They have learned life’s lessons, not only from normal education, from events in their lives, and have become people. You see, one should always believe in himself.

She is a beautiful red-haired girl. She has been shopping with her Mom in Wal-Mart. It was1 outside. We all stood there under the 2 , just outside the door.
Her voice was so sweet that it 3 the dull (沉闷的) surroundings (环境). “Mom, let’s run through the rain,” she said.
“What?” Mom asked.
“Let’s run through the rain!” she repeated.
“No, honey. We’ll wait4 it slows down a bit,” Mom replied.
This young child waited about another5 and repeated: “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No, we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she 6 her Mom’s arm.
“This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were7 to Daddy about his cancer, you said, ‘If God can get us through this, he can get us through8 !”
The crowd became 9 . Nothing could be heard but the rain. No one came or left in the next few minutes.
Mom thought for a moment about what she would say. “Honey, you are right. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we’ll just need to get a wash.” Mom said.
Then off they ran. People all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they rushed past the cars and through the puddles(水坑). They held their shopping bags over their heads. They got wet through. But they were 10 by a few who laughed like children all the way to their cars.
People can take away your money and health. But no one can ever take away your memories… So don’t forget to make time to make memories every day.
