Once, long ago, there was a man who traveled from Persia to India on foot. He had been to India before. When he arrived at a village, he happened upon a fruit stand. In that village, fruit was quite because of the lack of water. The man was looking around at the fruits when he a big basket of some very red, very long fruit. It was the cheapest fruit in the shop, not expensive at all.
the man walked up to the counter (柜臺(tái)) and asked: “How per kilo?” And the shopkeeper said: “Two rupees.” Two rupees in India is . The man thought to himself: “What a !” So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and began to it. But after he tried a few pieces, he screamed: “Oh, my God!” His eyes watered, his mouth burned, and his face turned . He coughed and choked and gasped for breath.
But despite his , he continued to stuff the fruits into his mouth! Onlookers their heads and laughed. One man yelled: “You’re , man! Those are chilies! People use them as a condiment (佐料). You don’t just eat them by the handful like that; they’re not fruit!” But the man replied: “No, I can’t ! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”
You probably think this man was pretty , right? Nevertheless, I bet you or someone you know makes the same on a daily basis. People invest money, time and effort into a relationship, business or job. Even when experience tells them that it’s not , and they know there’s little hope of improvement, they still because they don’t want to waste the previous investment. But this is . It is no different than being the man who continued eating chilies because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid for them.
Losing something is difficult, but it is important to the loss and move on. you’ll just keep burning your mouth on hot chilies.

What was the was he found himself unable to ask for help — his mobile phone went out of as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the of the rescue.
It is almost that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his : "First of all I checked up my conditions and found myself not in mortal (致命的)danger. As there was no way to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from . In this way I dozed (打盹)off ."
His story put an end to my regret for the of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men to explore a mountain cave and got lost. to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of .Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering (閃爍)not far away .
