Have you ever noticed the confusion(混乱),which seems so common in our world today?You seem to be going in all different directions. However,you seem to have nothing to wish for;there is no direction to your living. You appear to be in a hurry,but what is your purpose?
Well,it is important that you live your life with a purpose. If you don't,you live it by accident. You could end up going back and forth along the pathway of life,never knowing what your life could be.
Take time to think deeply. Listen to your inner self. Be patient and understand your special gifts and know the reason why you are here. There are many opportunities along the way to serve your purposes.
Your highest purpose should be in giving and serving others. You don't need to expect anything in return. You will truly know what life can give you,desiring nothing but the satisfaction of a job well done.
Be true to yourself. Do not try to be someone you are not. Do not follow the wrong people. Your living is to be treasured. You are created for a purpose.
Find out that reason,go after it with determination,and live your life with a purpose.

Twenty passengers on the bus s yesterday’s traffic accident;eight died,though.
Looking back on the first twenty years of my life, I feet grateful to have been so healthy and happy. For my happiness, I am grateful to so many people and lucky events, but what have guided me and supported me in my life are my physical health, healthy finances(财力), and my family's happiness.
Health comes first for me, because without health everything else is meaningless. Imagine starting a career without good health. Imagine starting a family without good health. Imagine achieving anything without good health. Clearly, good health is the first thing for every other part of one's life.
Good health is not enough to be happy. We still need to have money in today's society. Money obviously pays for basic needs of life--food, housing, clothing--but it is also necessary for other reasons like the quality of our education and medical care.
Next comes the most important thing in having a happy life--our family. It provides the love, joy and support that everybody needs. I love my family with all my heart. I get pleasure from their pleasure. I suffer when they suffer. My family helped me get through the hard times of entrance exams. They comforted and advised me when I had misunderstandings with my friends. More importantly, they have been there to share in my successes in the past twenty years.
In summary, all these are what I need and want in this world. As long as I stay healthy, earn enough money, and share both good times and bad times with my family, I will always be the happiest girl in the world.

What does the word success bring to your mind? many would answer along the lines of lots of money, big house, new cars, five star restaurants --- all on the material level. Nothing wrong --- as long as you feel joy in the process.
It is interesting to see how my idea of success has changed through the years. When I was young, I was eager for material success. I chose to be a salesman and earned lots of money. But then I realized selling was not what I wanted to do all my life. After all I was often forced to sell products that did not really fit the customer. Eventually I became very unhappy, even with big money.
Then my search for success turned inwards. I gave up sales and chose another job --- helping people. I earned less, but I was much more satisfied. I love horses, so I started to paint horses. And then I returned to my old love, writing. I felt the most successful when I loved what I did, never mind the money. I believe success lies in joy and happiness that can come from many things: painting, writing. playing with a small child. managing well a difficult job...
So what is success for you? Are you reaching for that big house just to show off? Or have you learned yet to listen to inter self? Try to listen to your own feelings , and you may be surprised at what you find.
Remember --- what is success for you may not be success in someone mind. You are not here to live anyone else life but your own. You do not have to please others with your life. Only if you are happy yourself, can you spread happiness to others. You cannot give what you do not have.. `
So be true to yourself and follow your own joyful path to your own success. 34. As a result of working as a salesman, the writer______ .
