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  1 had such a big influence 2  a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult. But now, 3  I come to knock at the door of adulthood,

  I feel 4 to express my own  5   on this saying. I know that I'm just a high school student with very   6 experiences. There are still many things  7 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 to live in,you'd better ___8__ yourself and your heart,instead of the whole world."I was shocked. It made me think about life__9__ . There are so many things around us that__10___ our will. We can't force life to__11____ our wishes. The earth won't stop turning no matter whether we___12___ it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves___13___ the world. I think we should learn to accept__14____ life gives us,no matter whether it's the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall? and try to be happy.

  Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou) ，I always try to__15__ every pleasant thing in my life,but now I see I don't catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more__16___that they slip by and leave you feeling___17___ . I realize that I'm not just living___18____” myself and that there are others around me that I should think of. They all pay attention to my growth,even if it's just a little progress. Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life,___19__or negative. It doesn't matter,I think. There is one ___20___that should be obeyed―and that's to make this world better.
