“ The only thing holding you back is yourself. Never say never”, said a rising 17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, who was just an ordinary boy in Canada a few years ago.
After the accident of falling from the 18th floor and lying in the snow for three hours, my hands were frozen and my spinal cord ( 脊髓)was seriously injured. All the doctors and professors in the famous hospitals in Beijing told me that there was little chance for my hands and my body to recover.
After half a year of medical treatments and recovering exercises , I could not make any more progress for over a year . What was worse , I suffered a lot from depression .On top of this , I suffered from insomnia , lying awake in pain to wait for sleep to come every night. Hopelessly , mom and I came back to my hometown, which is a small town in Guangdong.
At that time , I thought that I would never be able to walk again. I would never love and be loved. I would never be able to earn even a penny. I would never be able to repay the kindness I got from my parents and many nice people . Life was meaningless.
Now two years has passed. My hands are 80% recovered. I can even type faster than a healthy person ! Up to now, I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter for half a year already. Although I don’t earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need. What’s more , I even have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my parents and my boyfriend. Through my blogs , many people get to know me and like me. I can bring happiness to them. I can help those who are still suffering from depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them….You see, I am living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed.
So, my friends, never say never. As long as you are alive , there is always hope and possibilities. It is never too late to take action to realize your dreams.

No two cultures are the same. The American and Indian cultures have very vast differences between them. While the culture of America is a mixture of different cultures, the Indian culture is unique and has its own values.
One of the major differences that can be seen between American and Indian cultures is in family relations. While the Indians are very much family oriented(以…为导向), the Americans are individual oriented. In Indian culture, the family values are more important than the individual values. Indians respect family values. On the other hand, in American culture the individual values get more importance than the family values.
In another sense, it can be said that the American culture is more goal oriented and the Indian culture is more people or family oriented. Indians may even forsake their individual wishes and also happiness for families. But in American culture, this cannot be seen.
Unlike the Indians, the Americans plan things ahead. The Americans believe in dominating(统治) nature and controlling the environment around them. On the contrary, Indians believe in the harmony with nature. Another difference that can be seen between Indian culture and American culture is that the Indians love stability(稳定)while the Americans love mobility(变化).
In American culture, one can see that individuals think of self-reliance. On the other hand, Indians are more dependent on others. While the children in the US are brought up to live an independent life, the children in India are not brought up in that way. In Indian culture, there is respect for the elders and it is they who make decisions. But in American culture, each individual makes his own decisions.
Coming to competition, Indians are more competitive than the ing to work nature, the Indians work for meeting the family needs. On the contrary, an American will only work hard to rise on his own. Another difference that can be seen is that Americans have great regard for time and its value while Indians are different.
