22:54 00-4-14 Yesterday night I was depressed and went to bed very early.In the early hours of the morning,I had a nice dream. It is in a shop,I met a old couple.Their clothes are shabby.But they are very honest,they came to the shop jut to return the overpaid changes.I was deeply moved by them.In the world,we see the rich with admiration and sneer those who are poor.Once in trouble,however,you can not expect help from the rich for they are poor in sympathy.There will aleays be a warm port for you in a poor but kind friend.I came up to them and talked with them.We made friends very quickly. The following paragrapg is of the old man,which gave me great surprise and when I realized of its true worth,I was greatly encouraged.In my point of view,the encouragement is one of the most precious gifts. "In my childhood,I like sports,so I try hard to make myself eminent and distinguished in every group,in the premier school,middle school,college,until I became a graduate in the sports major and met my wife,she was my classmates." (What,you are a postgraduate in sports major?I think to myself.But I was deeply convinced of his honsty when I looked into his eyes.) "My wife and I suffered a lot during the Culture Revolution.This is the first time we meet ,but through our talk,especially in your eyes,I see the gift.You are pure.Now you are in sad mood,am I right?Never give up,for if you give up,the god will give you up.May I give you an advice:release your gift and stick to it no matter in what bad condition.Remember:the hardest time is the final test that God impose upon you.Make yourself eminent as I did in my youth.Wish you lucky,God bless thee." All through the moving speech the old man made,the old kind gave no interruption.She only looked at his old darling with love and care.To me,they must be angles God sent to help and to encourage me to 'stick to it'. I should be useful to the world and I can not and will not give up in the future no matter what terrible conditions I will be in.'The hardest time is the final test.'I was in trouble in the old days when I pursued my dream of freedom and glory.The most comfortable and seducing choice was to give it up.Fortunately,I had sticked to my dream.After that I realized that I cheeted if at that time I gave up. Dear readers,and caring friends,a friend in need is a friend indeed.I was lucky that every time when I was week and in need of help,there always is a hand available.To be grateful,I will not only thank them,but also I'd like to offer my help to those in need.Now you have my email,if you are sad,tell your stories to me;if you are in trouble na matter financial or physical,email me!I do not mean that I am a cure-all.I just want you know that in the world,there is at least someone caring for you,because he was cared and 'encouraged' by his friends. I have the copy of 'Auld Long Syne' by Robert Burns.I admire Vincent Vangore.I recited English poems and poems in Tang's Dynasty to enrich my spiritual life.My English name is John.T.Young.T stands for trustworthy,I learn this from a movie.John is from the 'John the Baptised' in the Holy Bible.Young is the sonic translation of my Chinese surname. If we join hand by hand,the world will become a wold of endless beauty;if we fight against each other,the world will become a world of endless toil. Emai:yjtmontaire_2000@yahoo.com 16:57 00-4-14
