Life,meet it and live it
        Candles flickering in the wind,swallows flying over the stormy sea and yellow leaves of autumn,what impression do these sceneries make on you? For me,I feel kind of strong strength to face life.
        Life,from birth to death,is just like a long long journey,during which there are not only flowers,sunshine and applause,but also thorns, hurricane and frustration.Every time I’m depressed or disappointed,some sentences come into my mind,and then I have the courage to continue.I have ever read that Henry David Thoreau said,”However mean your life is,meet it and live it,do not shun it and call it hard names.”So we should believe that we still and will always have a great number of summer hours and summer days.
        How to meet and live life?I would like to cite a poem as following:
                                                                  The Oak
                                                                                          By Alfred Tennyson
                                                                 Live thy life,
                                                                Young and old,
                                                                Like yon oak,
                                                               Bright in spring,
                                                               Living gold.

                                                               Summer-rich,
                                                              Then;and then
                                                              Autumn-changed,
                                                               Sober-hued
                                                              Gold again.

                                                              All his leaves
                                                             Fall’n at length,
                                                             Look, he stands
                                                            Trunk and bough,
                                                            Naked strength.
       This is one of my favorite poems,Tennyson described an oak’s growing in a whole year:spring,summer,autumnand winter,no matter in which season,the oak is full of vigor and face everything opotimisticly.So we can learn something from it,to live like an oak,green or yellow,prosperous or decay,but be energetic all the time.And we human beings should also show the world our shine.Treat everyone around you with your all heart,appreciate the landscapes beside the road you passing by, Every morning,when you wake up,and continue to make efforts for your dream.
        Meet it and live it, and life can be and will be colorful and meaningful.

a very good poem

Dear Cindy,

PLease allow to me to be a little cynical and pessimistic here. Too many, I think life is not a colorful and meaning journey. Intead, it is only a period of time that they will spend mostly on food, bed, and endless depression as often spoken by and seen on the present-day young people. The depression is like a disease that spreads secretly, quickly and widely....

I'd rather confess I am wrong in saying all those words above but over and over again I learn terrible lessons from real life that it is exetremely diffcult to hold onto one's ideals and remain true at heart and take life as a pleasant journey, colorful and meaningful.

Here with my unsubstantiated understanding of life, I want to yell out to all the people who may chance to read my humble words,  "Strike me into pieces! And rebuild me, my eyes and my mind! Let me see this world with colors that speak truth and let me think of them as the very essence of my life, the journey towards a colourful and meaningful End!"

Truely,

Dear Charlie,
You contradicted yourself.
I don't think life can go without PASSION & CREATION!
So,you are not that kind of pessimistic one!
Don’t worry about the present-day young people, they might be Ok.
For years, We could still always remind of what you said in class: Burn yourself! I’m sure whoever can speak out such a sentense himself can lead the journey towards a colourful and meaningful End!
May God bless you!
Cindy

Dear Cindy,

Many thanks, Cindy. People do occasionally contradict themselves, don't they? As it is often said that there are ups and downs in one's life, I am experiencing my downs a lot lately.

But I am expecting my ups coming and I am still burning, Cindy.

Truely,
Charlie

Dear Charlie ,
   I think you will be all right soon.I am sorry to see you are so pessimistic.It is not your style.We all like your smiles.Try to be happy,OK?

Oh , very   good   I  服了  you

I don't kowe.
Before thirty years ago
life is a glass of milk
Today life is _

I agree with you cindy!

good poem...tks

Dear all,

Thanks for your marks above.

I'm very surprised to see what I wrote 2 years ago on the first page, and I'm shamed of what I said before. When you learn that life
can't always go on as what you thought, it's funny to look back what you were then.

It's hotting in Shenzhen, the weather report said it's going to be 30 degree tommorrow. However, all the roommates were so calm
when hearing that. Yes, life is a calm lake, can't make any lippers now. There's no looking on our face confroning anything.

This week, there opens a new traning course nextdoor. Hypnogensis, I finally have to conduct the word. Because in the three days past, a number of foreign guests come to the office and felt curious about it, I just replied Sleeping, making you fall asleep to fence with.
Hypnogenesis, I got it!

Feel better now, anyway.

Cindy

I hope you feel well forever !
