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 work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.
But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand 1 that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing(对比）yourself, with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.
Don’t let other people set goals(目标）for you. Only you know what is best for yourself. Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing 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 brave. Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly (紧紧地）；the best way to keep love is
2
to give it wings.
Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where 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 carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密），and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step. (

There are 5 channels on British television and each channel has several news programs all
day long. Some programs are only for three minutes but some are one hour long. The people who read the news are called news presenters and because they appear on television every day, they are very famous.
This is a popular news presenter in England called Trevor McDonald, in the news studio. He presents a program called “News at Ten” every Monday to Friday evenings.
Another popular news presenter is Kirsty Young. She has a more modern style of reading the news and, as you can see, she sits on the desk not on a chair!

It’s a famous saying in England now. (
