Dear Sherri，
By the time you read this，you will be 30．At the age of 18 I had many dreams about you．Right now I hope you have traveled and seen everything you’ve always wanted to，both in Canada and abroad，maybe you have even settled down somewhere in France，and maybe you are working in the field of art．I hope you’re married to Gwynn—the man of your dreams．You’ll probably have two children—a girl and a boy．
If everything goes okay，you’ll be living in France in a big house in a small town with Gwynn and your two children．You are doing research in painting．Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing all right for yourselves．
However，if things don’t go according to plan，I wish you love，happiness and joy．
Love，
Sherri“18”

Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload the fish from his boat and pack the fish in a box.
Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. “Just a few hours,” replied Pablo. Martin asked, “Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish?” “I have enough for my family,” Pablo said. “And How do you spend the rest of your day?” asked Martin. “I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards, I have a full and busy life.” Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra（额外的）money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch many more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.
