24、   The usual way of showing one's love is expressing it with words, but my dad is different. He’s the one who cared so much for me and showed love in so many other ways than the usual ways of other adults.

In my earlier years I would wake my dad up and say, “Dad, I'm hungry. Could you make me something to eat” “Sure, what a question. How about a piece of steak and some eggs?” He would answer happily. “Well, I'm not sure, it would be too much trouble,” would say without listening to my stomach. “No worries,” would be his reply with joy, as he always answered me that way.

Sunday is my dad's only rest day but he would come up to me and say. “How about a game of cricket?” “Yes, Dad! That will be great,” I would reply happily. On the days when he was too tired to play, he would still say, “Yeah, sure! I’ll play.” My Mom would come and call me to the side and explain that my Dad was just too tired to play but could not say no to me. He always had and has time for me.

As time flew by I started to become a teenager with independence and what seemed to me as a childish game over food became a stupid idea. On the days he didn't work he would come to me. "Give Dad a smile," he would say encouragingly. “Dad, at the moment I can’t smile.” I would say. “Please. Just one smile and then I won't ask again,” he would playfully. Looking at his funny face. I couldn't help smiling.

I wrote this to thank my dad. The one who would make me food late at night when I was too tired to do so. The one who would sit by my bed in my time of greatest need. The one who couldn't say no to his son.

Many years ago, an Englishman traveled to Italy. This Englishman traveled in a carriage. On his way, he stopped in s small town called Geneva in Switzerland.

There was a carriage watch in it. This was the earliest kind of watch. A blacksmith’s assistant happened to see the watch. He wanted to know what it was and asked the Englishman about it. “It is a carriage watch,” said the man. “This machine can tell the time but it isn’t working now.”

The blacksmith’s assistant wanted to try to repair so the traveler handed him the watch. The assistant was a very clever man, so it was easy for him to repair it. He even remembered how it was made. As soon as the traveler had gone on his way, he made a watch of exactly the same type.

26、If you could see a movie of your life before you lived it, would you want to live it? Probably not. The excitement of living is that you don’t know what’s coming.

Sure, it’s hard to see uncertainty(不确定) in such positive（积极的）light when you’re out of work, or when you feel like you’re failing. But uncertainty is really another word for chance.

When Allison graduated from Harvard, she had chances all over the place but had no idea what she wanted to do. She took a job in consulting（咨询）, but she knew she wouldn’t stay there. She took the GRE and scored so high that she was able to increase her income（收入）by teaching students. Still, she didn’t think she wanted to go to graduate school（研究院）. Allison knew she wasn’t doing what she wanted, but she didn’t know what she wanted.

She worried. All her friends were going to graduate school or starting their own businesses. She was lost and felt that she would never find anything out. After six years, Allison, by having a general（全面的）plan in mind, got married, moved to the Midwest, and used her consulting experience to get a great job. Allison realized that she spent her years finding her way: time well spent.

The only way to lead an interesting life is to face uncertainty. Otherwise your life is not your own—it is a path someone else has chosen. Moments of uncertainty are when you create your life, when you become who you are. Uncertainty usually begins with a job hunt, but it doesn’t end there. Every new role we take on means another round of uncertainty. Instead of fearing it, you should find some ways to deal with uncertainty.
