I am 22. I used to work in a hotel. It was boring.

One day a guest and I had a conversation. She asked me, 6/Do you like your job?" I was sad because I knew the answer. “No".

She was 74 and gave me the most beautiful advice that I remember in all my life:

You are too young to hate your job, young man. Go to get your passport and start your adventure(冒險 ). "

So I did.

Since I was a little kid I was dreaming to know Europe. So next day I had my passport. And one week later, my plane tickets.

It was impossible to have a long holiday. So I resigned(辭職). My boss said I was crazy. My friends said that I was not responsible. I just paid no attention to those voices.

It was Europe in winter. Not the best time to travel there. But Europe in winter is really cheap.

I packed some books, a camera, 4 shirts, 2 pants, a coat, gloves, 2 pairs of walking shoes, candies and music to give away.

I had little money. I just walked and walked. I went to high mountains and big cities.

saw some beautiful sunsets(日落). I heard some of the best musicians (for free). I discovered that there was still love in the world. I realized that sunrises are not always blue or yellow. Sometimes they mix.

I spent 22 days and $1,500 (including the plane tickets). What I did to save money:

1. Used Couch, Surfing'(沙發(fā)客 ).

2. Ate 20-cents bread.

3. Went to Burger King to get free potato chips and water.

4. Learned to cook.

5. Talked with local(當?shù)氐? people. They always know where to do cool and cheap

6. Only went to free museums (only in England).

Until this point in my life, I never had a clear idea of how to deal with my life. Now I do. I want to be a photographer so that I can inspire(激勵) people with my pictures.

Thanks to this travel. Thanks to that lady.

Once a small boy lived on a farm which seemed so far away from everywhere.

He needed to get up before sunrise every morning to help his father on the farm. During sunrise he would take a break and climb up on the fence(籬笆) along the side of the farm. He could see a house with golden windows. “If they could afford golden windows, then there must be other nice things inside the house.” He imagined how great it would be to live there. Then he promised himself, “Some day I will go there and see this wonderful place.”

One morning, his father would go to the town and told him to stay at home for a rest. Knowing that this was his chance, he took a sandwich and headed across the field towards the house with the golden windows.

As the afternoon went on, he began to realize how wrong he was. The house was much farther than he had expected. As he went near the house, he saw no golden windows but instead a place in bad need of painting. A small girl very close to his age came out of the poor house and stood by the broken fence. He asked her if she had seen the house with the golden windows.

The girl said, “Sure, I know.” and invited him to sit on the porch(門廊). As he sat there, he looked back from where he just came. There he saw the sunset(夕陽) turned the windows of his house to gold! Now he understood that everyone had his own house with golden windows.
