Our hearts will be full with respect at the mention of a mother’s love. Truly, who can love you more than your dear mother does in world? But in modern society, especial among one-child families, mothers usually give too much love to her only daughter or son. They try to help or even protecting their children in every way, which left their sons or daughters too comfortable to deal with challenges themselves. What we all know, we have entered into the 21st century, and the young generation will face more challenges in the future. There is nothing wrong for mothers to love their children, and they should also leave rooms for their children to develop themselves and become independent.

This is my third story. When I was 17, I read a quote(引述) that something like,”If you live each day it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right.” Since then, for the past thirtythree years，I've looked the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life，would I want to do what I am ____ to do today？”And whenever the answer has been ”No” for too many days in a row(连续)，I know I need to change something.
About a year ago I was with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should to live no longer than three to six months. They advised me to go home and get my in order，which is doctors' code for ”prepare to ”. Later that evening when the doctors the cells taken from my pancreas(胰腺)under a microscope，they started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is with surgery. I had the surgery and, , I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Death is the we all share. No one has escaped it. And that is it should be，because death is very likely the single invention of life. It's life's change agent. It clears out the old to make for the new. Your time is , so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma(信条)—which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to your heart and intuition(直觉). They already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part- particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold- weather root vegetables- was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.
The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7:00 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.
Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.
Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where- luckily for me- I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.
