Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (弹跳) back. But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be ① _________. They will never be the same as before. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?
Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself. Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don’t be afraid of making ②__________ . It is by correcting them that we know what is right. Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings (翅膀). Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going. Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily. Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.
Yesterday is a history, tomorrow is a mystery (秘密), and today is a gift; that’s why we call it “the present”. Balance the five balls in your life and try to enjoy them!

No one wants to overspend on their supermarket shopping but to save money every week. Preparations start before you even go into the store. Here is how to make sure you are always getting your shopping for the best price.
● Greate your list.
Write a full list which includes two parts, something necessary for a living and something for fun. With a strict list, you won’t easily change your mind to buy more than you need.
● Check the cupboards.
One of the easiest ways to overspend is buying what you don’t need. Before leaving, take time to check what products you have in the house, especially in the cupboards. Buy what you badly need and it will help you save money before you step into the supermarkets.
● Know your budget（预算）.
Keep in mind how much you plan to spend. It is possible to get your shopping for less, but you need to pay attention to the products and brands you buy to support savings.
● Compare prices.
You should make a comparison between the prices offered by different supermarkets. So if you try to buy your shopping for less, compare the prices in different shops, which makes sure that you are always visiting the cheapest supermarket for your shopping.
● Choose the best time for shopping.
If you know your supermarket well, there will certainly be a preferred time to shop. This could be at the quietest time to make sure you get peace while working out the total cost of your shopping. And a few hours before closing helps you to get a special offer. That will bring down the cost of your shopping.
Follow them and you are sure to make huge savings on your weekly shopping.
