In the summer of 2018, I decided to do a solo expedition (独自探险) across Antarctica. To get some 36 , I did a two-week training course. I learned all the 37 : how to camp in the snow, how to pull a sled and what clothing to wear. In October, I flew to Antarctica from Punta Arenas. I’d allowed 70 days, which would make it the longest 38 one-way expedition across Antarctica
I only took 39 . I didn’t even take a hairbrush. The first few days were 40 . The winds were about 60 mph, and my sled weighed 120 kg. Even if the visibility is good, you can’t 41 much — it’s a white horizon. I was on the move for 13 to 15 hours a day.
Then, I found the conditions to be much worse. There was more sastrugi (雪脊) and it felt colder. The last 40 hours were really hard. I 42 about 14 times every two hours. As a result, I fell behind 43 . In the end, I 44 922 miles and fell more than 100 miles short of my goal. Towards the end of my trip, a helicopter flew to pick me up. The 45 I felt when I saw the dot in the distance was unbelievable.
It took me a while to be 46 of what I’d achieved, because I had failed to reach my 47 goal, but I’ve learned it’s 48 to move the goalposts. I don’t agree with the idea of conquering (征服) somewhere. You treat places with 49 and hope they’ll allow you 50 passage.

I want to tell you three stories from my life. The first story is about connecting the 51 . When I was at Reed College, it offered perhaps the best calligraphy 52 in the country. I decided to take a calligraphy class. At that time none of what I learned about calligraphy seemed to have even a(n) 53 of any practical application. But later when we were 54 the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we put it all into the Mac. Of course, you can only connect the dots looking backwards. But you have to trust that the dots will 55 connect in your future.
My second story is about love. I 56 Apple at twenty. And then at thirty, I got fired. 57 something slowly began to strike me -- I still loved what I did. And so I decided to start over. In a wonderful turn of 58 , I returned to Apple. The only thing that kept me going was that I 59 what I did. So, if you haven’t found what your interest, keep looking. Don’t 60 .
My third story is about death. About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs 61 , which is doctors’ code for “prepare to 62 . ” Later it turned out to be curable(可治愈的) with surgery. I had the surgery and, 63 , I am fine now. This was the closest I’ve been to facing death.
Having 64 it, I can now say this to you: Your time is limited, so don’t 65 it living someone else’s life.

I’m a late boomer as a writer. I’ve been writing for children for 30 years, and I sold my first 111 in 2011.
It wasn’t until I started teaching first grade in Los Angeles that I was 112 by the poetry and simple beauty of picture books. From then on, I began having the 113 that I could write riddles, poems and stories for children to 114 in the classroom.
One day, a fellow teacher pulled me aside on the playground. “Dianne, you are so 115 , so you should produce something new, not just for teaching in classrooms,” she said. I felt 116 after hearing her opinion. How could I really write well Could I 117 a career as a word artist But finally I 118 my job in the Los Angeles school system and moved to Southampton, wishing to write better picture books.
I studied, read, wrote and submitted. Though I received payment on some 119 , I still couldn’t earn enough money to 120 all my expenses. So I opened a small cleaning service, 121 after wealthy New York City weekenders, and I did all of the work myself. 122 , I still had time to write after work. Thirty years seemed long, but I’d kept my 123 alive. Finally, twenty complimentary copies of my first story, Hush Little Beachcomber, illustrated by Holly McGee, arrived at my door at the end of February in 2011. What a complete 124 it was on that freezing winter afternoon!

My phone was an extension of myself. I couldn’t go anywhere 141 it. I scrolled through my friends’ 142 into late night and turned my phone on before my eyes were fully open. I enjoyed having it until that day when I realized that what had started as a useful tool had turned into a(n) 143 . So, I made a 144 decision to turn off that smartphone and 145 my old dumb phone out of hiding.
When I was watching TV shows or movies and there was a boring part, I 146 picking up the phone and checking out “what everyone else was doing.” Now I had to pay attention or find a way to 147 myself with my thoughts instead. When I visited New York City, I had to write out 148 and ask people where an intersection (十字路口) was 149 pulling out my phone.
I have welcomed silence into my life with open arms and am enjoying the increased 150 from not constantly having to fight with the 151 to check my phone while I’m trying to get something done. I am allowing my thoughts to speak to me instead of my phone. I am connecting with others in a 152 way that isn’t all about me. Instead of always posting about what’s going on in my 153 perfect life, I am connecting with my friends one-on-one, talking about the reality of our lives and being there for them from a place of 154 .
