However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly the charming music. John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.
However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a , one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such valuable but music feast.
I have a very friend who had totally changed after that his wife came down with an acute (严重的) illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless(但是), his wife still did not to conquer the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is to make up for it.
It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have a lot of precious things in our life without knowing how to them. Actually, I also missed something before. The reason is simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.
Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk (修道士) saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and .

In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be 46 with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit 47 . The only solution is to reach 48 and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more 49 measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your 50 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get 51 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for 52 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly 53 . The only direct and honest comparison is 54 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only 55 to compare yourself to someone else if their life 56 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that 57 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated(埋头苦干的)you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can 58 someone is coming up fast 59 you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best 60 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to 61 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who 62 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of 63 . You are a more 64 person today than you were yesterday. Your own 65 is all you need.

He remembers details that an adult may have difficulty in remembering.Gradually , he learns elementary skills in problem-solving.At school, particular in classes, the child is especially creative.Given a piece of paper and some colored pencils, he draws a variety of from his surroundings as well as from his circle.It is not surprising to see a child draw a monster to represent an abusive father, and an angel to represent a loving and caring mother.
As he graduates to the later stages of childhood bordering on the teenage years, the child learns the of human relations and socialization by interacting with his peers—his friends and schoolmates.
