Having been feeling down and unhappy with my marriage, I spent the week not being very nice to anyone in my family. I felt that I was distancing myself from the people that were not the root of my anger. Those little people with sweet innocent eyes wondered why Mommy was only going through the motions, and why there was no love in her actions. I even pushed my daughter away as she tried to hug me.
For years I had said that having dinner as a family was important, but during this time of heartache that I was experiencing I just couldn’t bring myself to be with them. I began to dislike them. It would be so easy to change my life without having them to think about. How many times had I heard that I needed to do what was best for the kids? Did nobody care about what was best for me?
Then I watched a show on TV that made me realize what I was doing to these poor kids. I needed to take control of my own life, not only for myself but for my kids too.
That night I went to sleep with calm thoughts in my head .The problems with my marriage had not been resolved, but the issues I had with myself had .I knew what I had to do to make my life better and my children’s too.
The next morning after eating breakfast with my three wonderful kids, my middle son who was five years old put his arms around me and said, “Hey, Mom ,you’re really being nice to us today.” What could I say to that tiny face to take away all the pain that I had caused? I looked at his beautiful blue eyes and told him that Mommy hadn’t been very happy lately and that I was sorry that I was not being nice.

Here’s an unusual story: a diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician（魔术师）, Liu Qian, discovered it, in front of an audience of millions at CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. Liu’s magic tricks have made the centuries old art of magic fashionable once again, and made him the hottest magician in China.
As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan, Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States, Japan, South Korea and the UK.
Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people’s love for magic.

“It is actually thinking, rather than one’s manipulation(操作)skills, that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively, to make them appear more intriguing(吸引人的),”Liu said.
Liu Qian’s success dates back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan, he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12, he won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest, which was judged by the great American magician, David Copperfield.
Yet, Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur（业余的） magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a decent(体面的)job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.
