A
[2019·新疆适应性测试]When I was a young man, I thought I knew everything. I looked forward to fame and success. I can even remember once in college telling one of my friends, “If only everyone listened to me then they would all be happy.” I finally left school ready to take on the world. Little did I know the world was about to take on me.
In the years following college instead of success I found struggles. I had trouble finding a job. The jobs I did work at were either temporary or backbreaking and none of them paid well. When my wife and I had children, we were shocked to learn that not one but both of our sons had autism (自闭症) and would need to be taken care of for the rest of their lives. I had no idea why all that had happened to us.
In time, however, I began to change. Instead of success, I found joy in moments of love. Playing and laughing with my sons brought me so much happiness. My boys taught me more about peace, patience, kindness, joy, and unconditional love. I began to share the lessons I learned through my writing and life. I finally realized that my purpose in this world had nothing to do with fame or success and had everything to do with enjoying the love I have and sharing it with everyone as much as I could.
Always remember that moments of love can become days of love and days of love can become years of love. You may not be happy 100% of the time. No one can be in this world. Put all of your moments, days, and years to good use and live them with love.
