When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time that taught a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why 　36　 　had such a big influence 　37　 　a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now, 　38　 　I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 　39　 　to express my own 　40　 　on this saying. I know that I am just a high school student with very few experiences. There are still many things 　41　 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.

　　 I once read this sentence, “To make this world a happy place in which to live, you had better　 42　 　yourself and your heart, instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about 　43　 　itself. There are so many things around us that 　44　 　our will. We can’t force life to follow our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we 　45　 　it or not. What we can do is just to make 　46　 　suit the world. I think we should learn to accept 　47　 life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.

　　　 The pop song Grandmother by Jay Chou is my favorite. I’m deeply moved by this beautiful song. I always try to 　48　 　every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see that I don’t catch most of the 　49　 　moments. It is more likely that they slip by and leave you 　50　 　regretful. I realize that I’m not just living for myself and that there are others I should 　51　 　such as my parents, friends, and so on. They all pay attention to my growing up, 　52　 　it’s just a little progress.

　　　 Everyone has his or her own 　53　 　towards life, positive or negative. It doesn’t 　54　 , I think .There is one 　55　 　that should be obeyed and that’s to make this world better.
