Everyone has problems. When you meet something difficult, who can you ask for advice. These
people may be your classmates, parents teachers, long-lost friends or even a real stranger. They
will make your life different in some ways. What they did or said may teach you a lesson or help
you recognize (认识) who you are. For example, your best friend doesn’t trust you anymore. You
will feel terrible and unfair at that time. But later you will find out the reasons and try your
best to solve the problem. Then you will know that everything happens for a reason and nothing
happens by chance or with good or bad luck. So the people around you, and the successes and failures
you have experienced, will help you recognize who you are. In fact, the bad experiences are the
most profound and important ones.
Please enjoy every day even every moment and learn from it because you may never be able to
experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and listen to them. You should

and asked me a lot of questions about the accident. After a while, the ambulance arrived and the
