What’s the most important thing in your life? Do you think about this question?

I began to think about it when I was just a little girl. I had a lot of friends and I loved playing with them. So I thought friendship (友谊) was the most important thing in life. If I had no friends, I would be very sad.

When I got older, I thought the most important thing -was music. I was crazy about music at that time. To me, if I couldn’t sing or listen to music, my life would be boring.

When I was 12, I read a book that tells a beautiful story about the love between a mother and her child. I was happy to find that love was the most important thing. I thought love made my life beautiful.

Not long ago, I got a new answer to the question from another book. “Happiness is the destination (目标) for everyone.” The writer said.

Soon I began to understand friendship, music, love and happiness are all very important to us. These important things make our lives colourful and beautiful.

What’s the most important thing in life now? I still don’t have the answer. However, I don’t want to know. I just want to care about everything important in my life?

I hope everyone can find the important things int heir lives, and cherish them!

Nobody wants to lose, but we must accept that losing is a part of life. After all, we can’t win all the time. However, we can learn something valuable from every failure. So we must know how to be a good loser.

When we lose, just take it with a smile and look on the bright side of it. Failure can’t be avoided in our life. Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb (灯泡). When he was asked how he felt, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times but had learned 10,000 things which didn’t work.

We must accept our failure and learn to take advantage of it. Remember that it can be helpful when we begin to take action to walk out of it and think about how we can improve. If someone else can help, we’ll be lucky enough. Maybe he or she has been through the same experience before. Many people enjoy helping others solve problems. This can greatly save us time in learning how to avoid the same mistakes in the future.

There is only one winner in every competition. Some win, while some lose. That is a usual way of life. If we offer our congratulations to the winners and share their happiness, we won’t feel sorry when facing our failure.

In a word, being a good loser will help us to succeed in life. Good losers set examples to us, and most importantly, they will finally win.

When I was a little girl, my mother worked all day, so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time, my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.

One day, after having dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that one of his shoes was lost while he was sleeping. I knew I needed to find that shoe because my mother couldn’t afford new shoes. I had to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man passing by heard what I said. He stopped and asked me, “What will you do if your brother is not here when you return?” I had no idea. He continued, “It’s OK if you can’t find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother.” Then he sent us to my mum’s workplace by taxi.

During my whole life, I have received the kindness from many strangers. I do not even remember what their faces looked like, but slowly, I came to know people are always more important than things. They taught me this lesson.
