英语美文朗读《The Story of Life》

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that
they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach
you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want
to become. You never know who these people maybe (possibly your
roommate, neighbor, coworker, long lost friend, lover, or even a
complete stranger), but when you lock eyes with them, you know at
that very moment they will affect your life in some profound
way.

And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful.
and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without
overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your
potential, strength, willpower, or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by
means of good luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true
greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your
soul. Without these small tests whatever they may be, life would be
like a smoothly1 paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be
safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly2 pointless. The people
you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you
experience, help to create who you are and who you become.

Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are
probably the most poignant3 and important ones. If someone hurts
you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have
helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious
when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back
unconditionally4, not only because they love you, but because in a
way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and
eyes to things.

Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from those
moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able
to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked
to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break
free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have
every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and
believe in yourself, for if you don&`&t believe in
yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you. You can
make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then
go out and live it with absolutely no regrets.

Most importantly, if you LOVE someone, tell him or her, for you
never know what tomorrow may have in store. And learn a lesson in
life each day that you live.

That&`&s the story of life.
