We always remind ourselves that life will be better after we graduate. Then, we are {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (worry) that we may not get a good job. After getting a job, we are wondering {#blank#}2{#/blank#} we can finish all the work well or not. We think we will certainly be happy when all the problems are dealt with.

    We always imagine living a perfect life after we get a nice car and are able to go on a vacation after we retire. But the {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (true) is that there is no better time than right now. Our life will always be {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (fill) with challenges. New problems will appear again after we solve the old {#blank#}5{#/blank#} . Never doubt {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (oneself) when problems come up and it's certain that you can finally manage to get over all the difficulties. It's necessary to realize this and try to be happy every day.

    One of my favorite quotes(引述) from Alfred Souza is that "For a long time it seemed to me that a new and happy life was about to begin. But there were always some difficulties and challenges along the way, something to be dealt with first, some unfinished work, a bill to be paid. Then life would begin. At last I came to understand that these difficulties are just my life."

    This view makes a great difference {#blank#}7{#/blank#} me. It gives me courage to face all the difficulties in an active way instead of {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (run) away from them. It also helps me know that there is no way to happiness. So value every moment that you have now.

    And always remember time waits for no one. You can never afford to waste your time waiting for a better life to come {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the present time is the best. So stop waiting {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you graduate, you get married, you have kids and you get a new car. Enjoy your life now!

    I recently turned 30. Thinking back what I've experienced, I took some time to write myself some advice.

Trust

    Even if it kills your relationship. Even if you lose your friends. Even if it means you end up getting hurt. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} people even if they give you a reason not to.

    But don't be too naive(幼稚). Some people are out to hurt you.

People

    People are the best and {#blank#}2{#/blank#} thing that will happen to you. Some will help you go further and faster. Others will pull you down to their level and make you lose.

    Most are OK. Many are average. Some are excellent. You don't need a lot of people or friends around you. You need amazing people who help you just {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you help them. Only a few people will change your life forever. Find {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

Value time

    Don't waste time on people who cheat you.

    Value other people's {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. Don't be late. That means that if you're late, you don't care about them or their time. And that also means you think you're worth more and therefore(因此) keep them {#blank#}6{#/blank#}. Some people will tell you that it's OK to be late. It's not.

Fail

    Fail. Fail a lot. Fail often. Fail in making friends. Fail in work. {#blank#}7{#/blank#} please don't lose your heart! Learn a lesson.

    If you don't learn something when you fail, then all you've done is failed. If you learn something, then you've grown. Every time you grow and fail and learn, you become better at finding out the way to {#blank#}8{#/blank#}.
