			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Love often make an adult change back into children , Every time of break up, but made us to learn to do an adult.</p>
<p>One of the best things in the world: when someone you love holds your hand.</p>
<p>I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.</p>
<p>No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won‘t make you cry.</p>
<p>The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can‘t have them.</p>
<p>Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.</p>
<p>To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.</p>
<p>Don‘t waste your time on a man/woman, who isn‘t willing to waste their time on you.</p>
<p>Just because someone doesn‘t love you the way you want them to, doesn‘t mean they don‘t love you with all they have.</p>
<p>Don‘t try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.</p>
<p>Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.</p>
<p>Don‘t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.</p>

<p>Some people said, love is selfless, we should give more love to others. While other people said, how can we love others if we don’t love ourselves? Our love philosophy is different from each other, which raises different oaths about love. In any case, which would you choose, give more love or get more love from others？</p>
<p>It seems that the question is so easy ,however,it doesn't.we couldn't simply answer &quot;give more or get more&quot;.there is no absolutely equal affection for everybody.for example,parents always love their kids more than themself ,but the kids don't think so untill they get married and have a baby.because only when they are mature enough could they realize how much parents had already paid for them!so we shouldn't concerned too much about who give or get more,because it only increases your troubles.</p>
<p>Just remember &quot;Love make the world go around.&quot;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people go through life standing at the excuse counter. </p>
<p>People say they'd like to do this or that, but . . . then they offer all the excuses in the world why they can't do whatever 'it' is. No matter what the excuses are, the only thing usually limiting them is their own self-perception. </p>
<p>If I've learned anything, I've learned a person - any person - can do just about anything they set their mind to do. The only thing you need is a willingness to work for what you want, patience to learn what you need to know, and just a little bit of belief in yourself. The most important of these is belief in yourself, but you only need a seed. Your faith in yourself will grow with you as you move forward. </p>
<p>If your self-perception is that you can't accomplish something because you're not smart enough, then take the time to learn what you need to know and your self-perception will change. </p>
<p>If your self-perception is that you can't accomplish something because you never finish anything you start, then go finish something and change your self-perception. </p>
<p>If your self-perception is that you're too lazy, too busy, too unworthy, too unfocused, too depressed, too dependent on others, too anything to accomplish great things, then you're right. You are that because you believe that, but you can change that! </p>
<p>Life is change, and the past doesn't equal the future. Your reality today is the result of your past beliefs and actions. Change your beliefs and actions and you change your future. If you think you can or you can't, you're right. You are what you think. </p>
<p>Think about that the next time you need an excuse. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With the advance of science television has played a vital part in the day-to- day life of the people in developed or developing countries and its influence is simply astounding when I was young my family did not own a television set; so whenever we were free my younger sister and I would slip to a neighbor's where to watch their TV awhile Al though TV programs in those days were generally inferior we still had a good time for as young and indiscriminate children we were interested only in novelty and excitement Not until my family had bought a television set did I quit the habit of fooling around with my younger sister then this wonder of scientific wonders did do us a great service we now had more chances to chat with each other in front of the box I hope our television companies will keep on upgrading their programs so that the viewers can be benefited both morally and intellectually I t is our conviction hat television in addition its entertaining aspect should be educational as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was fifteen months old, a happy carefree kid . . . until the day I fell. It was a bad fall. I landed on a glass rabbit which cut my eye badly enough to blind it. Trying to save the eye, the doctors stitched the eyeball together where it was cut, leaving a big ugly scar in the middle of my eye. The attempt failed, but my mama, in all of her wisdom, found a doctor who knew that if the eye were removed entirely, my face would grow up badly distorted, so my scarred, sightless, cloudy and gray eye lived on with me. And as I grew, this sightless eye in so many ways controlled me. </p>
<p>I walked with my face looking at the floor so people would not see the ugly me. Sometimes people, even strangers, asked me embarrassing questions or made hurtful remarks. When the kids played games, I was always the &quot;monster.&quot; I grew up imagining that everyone looked at me with disdain, as if my appearance were my fault. I always felt like I was a freak.</p>
<p>Yet Mama would say to me, at every turn, &quot;Hold your head up high and face the world.&quot; It became a litany that I relied on. She had started when I was young. She would hold me in her arms and stroke my hair and say, &quot;If you hold your head up high, it will be okay, and people will see your beautiful soul.&quot; She continued this message whenever I wanted to hide.</p>
<p>Those words have meant different things to me over the years. As a little child, I thought Mama meant, &quot;Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something because you are not looking.&quot; As an adolescent, even though I tended to look down to hide my shame, I found that sometimes when I held my head up high and let people know me, they liked me. My mama's words helped me begin to realize that by letting people look at my face, I let them recognize the intelligence and beauty behind both eyes even if they couldn't see it on the surface.</p>
<p>In high school I was successful both academically and socially. I was even elected class president, but on the inside I still felt like a freak. All I really wanted was to look like everyone else. When things got really bad, I would cry to my mama and she would look at me with loving eyes and say, &quot;Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside.&quot;</p>
<p>When I met the man who became my partner for life, we looked each other straight in the eye, and he told me I was beautiful inside and out. He meant it. My mama's love and encouragement were the spark that gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt. I had faced adversity, encountered my problems head on, and learned not only to appreciate myself but to have deep compassion for others.</p>
<p>&quot;Hold your head up high,&quot; has been heard many times in my home. Each of my children has felt its invitation. The gift my mama gave me lives on in another generation. </p>
