One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would
16 the peace and quiet, watch the water rush
17 and listen to the singing of birds and the rustling of
18 in the trees. I would also watch the bamboo trees 19 under pressure from the wind and watch them
20 gracefully to their original position after the wind had
21 .
When I think about the bamboo tree's ability to bounce back to its original position, the word "resilience" comes to mind. When used in
22 to a person this word means the ability to readily
23 from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person's
24 .
Have you ever felt like you are at your
25 point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it.
During the
26 you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained,
27 exhausted and you most likely stood
28 physical symptoms.
Life is a
29 of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy
30 that take you close to your breaking point, bend,
31 don't break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
A
32 of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal (考验). With
33 for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to
34 if the final result is worth having.
If life gets
35 and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo tree, bend, but don't break!
