Living in the moment and valuing your time.

兰斯敦·休斯
Life can be good,
Life can be bad,
Life is mostly cheerful(欢乐的),
But sometimes sad.
Life can be dirty,
Life can even be painful;
But life is what you make it,
So try to make it beautiful.

Almost 10 years later, I woke up at 10:00 a.m. on February 21, 2011 and realized that my alarm had never gone off. I jumped out of bed and went straight to the airport. But by the time I got to the airport, my plane to New Zealand had already taken off.
起飞
但是等我到达机场时，我飞往新西兰的飞机已经起飞了。
“This is the first holiday I’ve taken in a year, and now I’ve missed my plane. What bad luck!” I thought to myself. The other planes were full so I had to wait till the next day. The next morning, I heard about the earthquake in New Zealand the day before. My bad luck had unexpectedly turned into a good thing.
