Countless people appear in your life---familiar or strange, close or distant. Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there to serve some sort of , to teach you a lesson, or to help you who you are or who you want to become. You never think about who these people may be (possibly your roommate, neighbor, co-worker, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment they will your life in some way.
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful and unfair at first, but with more you find that without overcoming those difficulties you would have realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart.
Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and complete stupidity all occur to the limits of your soul. these small tests whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved（铺设）, straight, flat road to . It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and . The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience, help to create who you are and who you become.
Even the experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant(伤心的) and important ones. If someone hurts you, you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back , not only because they love you, but because , they are teaching you to love and how to open your and eyes to things.
Make every day count. every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to , and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you. You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no .
Most importantly, if you LOVE someone, tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in . And learn a lesson in life each day that you live.
That’s the story of life.

Recently，I flew to Las Vegas to attend a meeting. As we were about to arrive，the pilot announced with apology that there would be a slight before setting down. High desert winds had the airport to close all but one runway. He said that we would be the city for a few minutes waiting to . We were also told to remain in our seats meanwhile（同时） with our seat belts fastened there might be a few bumps(颠簸)．Well，that few minutes turned into about four—five minutes，including a ride that would make a roller coaster(过山车) by comparison（比较起来）.
The movement was so fierce(猛烈的) that several passengers felt and had to use airsickness（晕机） bags. As you might guess，that’s not good thing to have happen in a(n) space because it only to increase the discomfort of the situation. 
About twenty minutes into the adventure，the entire airplane became very.
There was now a sense of anxiety and fear that could be noticed．Every passenger simply held on for dear life …except one. A was having a good time! With each bump of the__ ___he would let out a giggle(咯咯的笑)of delight. As I observed this，I that he didn’t know he was supposed to be afraid and worried about his .He neither thought about the past nor about the future .Those are what we grown—ups have learned from.He was the ride because had not yet been taught to fear it. Having understood this，I took a deep breath and back into my seat，pretending（假装） I was on a roller coaster. I smiled for the rest of the flight. I even to giggle once or twice ,much to the chagrin(懊恼)of the man sitting next to me holding the airsickness bag.

Most glasses help people see better, but a new invention from Japan may soon improve language skills and language barriers instead.
High-tech Company NEC has a device that it says will users to communicate with people of different.
Shaped like a pair of eyeglasses without the lenses(镜片), the computer-assisted Tele Scouter would a picture-forming device to present almost real-time translations directly onto the retina（视网膜）. The text, provided through voice recognition and programs, would effectively provide movie-like “subtitles” (字幕)during a conversation between two people the glasses.
“You can keep the flowing,” NEC market development official Takayuki Omino told reporters at Tokyo exposition the device was on display. “This could also be used for talks with secret information,” says Omino, that there would be no need for translators.
Each user’s words would be by microphone, translated, and be instantly for conversation partners in visual texts and as audio delivered through headphones.
Users can still see their conversation partner’s face because the text is onto only part of the retina—the first time such technology is used in a commercial product, according to NEC.
The company plans to put the Tele Scouter in Japan in November next year, at the beginning without the translation mode.
