We had a discussion on “overnight-fame” last week. Nowadays, many people were crazy about instant fame and wealthy. To be honest, it is not bad be famous or have a lot of money, but I don’t agree with the view which people rise to fame overnight. We all know “easy come, easy go”. Let’s take Li An as the example. Only after his hard work did he become successful. Or we can list more similar cases if need. What I do believe is that the process in which we try our best. It is we have experienced along the way to success that we treasure and enjoy mostly.

During the war, my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California. I went to live there in order to be him. I hated the place. I had never been so unhappy. My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty, and I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone. The heat was -almost 125 degrees even in the shade of a cactus(仙人掌). a soul to talk to. The wind blew non-stop, and all the food I ate, and the very air I breathed,were with sand, sand, sand!
I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was and coming back home. I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer. I be in prison! My father answered my with just two lines-two lines that will always sing in my - two lines that completely changed my life:
Two men looked out from prison bars,
One saw the mud, the other saw the stars.
I read those two lines . I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present ; I would look for the stars.
I made friends with the natives, and their amazed me. They gave me presents of their favorite artworks which they had to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus . I watched for the desert sunsets, and for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the desert had been an ocean .
What brought about this change in me? The desert hadn’t changed, I had . I had changed my . And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing of my life. I was excited by this new world that I had discovered. I had looked out of my self-created prison and the stars.
