One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Frid

The Joy of Living
Joy in living comes from having fine emotions, trusting them, giving them the freedom of a bird in the open. Joy in living can never be assumed as a pose, or put on from the outside a mask. People who have this joy don’t need to talk about

父亲最后的拥抱 In praise of hugs
I grew up bereft（被剥夺的，缺少的） of hugs. Neither of my parents was the cuddly type. Greetings involving kissing caused me to wince, and hugging generally just made me feel awkward.Then one hug changed all that. One month before my 40

Youth is a state of mind
Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind. It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple（柔软的） knees. It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep spr

The goodness of life
Though there is much to be concerned about, there is far, far more for which to be thankful. Though life's goodness can at times be overshadowed（使失色） , it is never outweighed.For every single act that is senselessly destructive, there

The 50% Theory of Life
I believe in the 50-percent theory. Half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they are worse. I believe life is a pendulum（钟摆） swing. It takes time and experience to understand what normal is, and that gives me the pe

Rain of Seattle 1
I've got a deep secret few people understand and even fewer will admit to sharing. It's time to tell the truth: I love the rain, deeply and passionately and more than the Sun. At least I live in the right place, famous for its damp weather

Rain of Seattle 2
It's a sin around here to not thoroughly enjoy every moment of every golden day. It's embarrassing to answer, "Did you get out and enjoy the sunshine this weekend?" with "No, I stayed inside." Co-workers frown and exchange su

Feeling of Youth
No young man believes he shall ever die. It was a saying of my brother's, and a fine one. There is a feeling of Eternity（来世，不朽） in youth, which makes us amend for everything. To be young is to be as one of the Immortal Gods. One half
