Sometimes people come into your life and you come to realize that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out whom you are or who you want to become. You never know 16　 these people may be, but when you lock eyes with them, you know in an instant that they will 17　 your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but

18　 you find that without overcoming difficulties you would have never realized your 19 , strength, willpower or heart. Everything happens for a 20 . Nothing happens　 21　 or by means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, brilliant achievements, and sheer stupidity all occur to　 22　 the limit of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a　 23　 paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and 24 , but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you 25　 who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you 26 , help to create who you are and who you become. Even the　 27　 experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are the most important ones. If someone hurt you or breaks your heart, 28 them, for they have helped you learn about　 29　 and the importance of being　 30 . Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it　 31 . Talk to people that you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every 32　 to. Tell yourself you are great and believe in yourself, for 33　 you don’t believe in yourself, it will be hard for 34　 to believe in you.

You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it with absolutely no　 35 . Most importantly (!!!), if you love someone tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store.

While being laid off and entering into retirement are far from the same, they both often leave one half of a couple with extra time on their hands, and plenty of pent?up (被压制的) energy that their significant other, coming home after a long day at work, can't handle.WSJ.com recently wrote an article that shared a few words of wisdom on how to deal with this situation. Here are their tips：

Be nice to each other and have a positive attitude. Hard as it may be, try not to be discouraged during the job search and make sure to support your spouse (配偶). If one of you says something negative, the other should try to come back with something positive. And don't forget, compliments can go a long way.

In order to kill the boredom before it begins, encourage your partner to stay as busy as possible. Stay healthy and join a sports team, or learn how to cook (this benefits your spouse as well). Another option is taking up a side job serving food or working as a sales associate. This will allow your sweetie to interact with other people as well as earn some money. But, of course, new hobbies shouldn't take up the time needed to continue the job hunt.

As WSJ.com points out, those who recently lost their jobs are sometimes embarrassed and therefore shut out family and friends. They might rely on their partners for support. Tell your wife or husband to talk to their families and friends. They know and love them, and can be a good support system (rather than a support group of one: you)．

You may be happy to spend time with your significant other but need a little alone time after working all day. To the recently laid?off: let your partner settle down, drink a beer, and watch a little television before you bombard (发出连珠炮似的问题) him with your idea to go skydiving or white water rafting. You may have an endless amount of pent up energy, but they probably need some space to relax.
