26、Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it,but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.

It takes an hour to like someone,and a day to love someone,but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back.Do not expect love in return;but if it does not,be content it has grown in yours.Do not rely on one's appearance;it can trick you.Do not rely on wealth;even that fades away.Rely on someone who makes you smile,because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them.Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be,because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past.You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off.May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,enough trails to make you strong,enough sorrow to keep you human,enough hope to make you happy.The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything;they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.Happiness waits for those who cry,those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.Always put yourself in others' shoes.If you feel that it hurts you,it probably hurts the other person,too.

When you were born,you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

28、On January 22, 2022, the British-Belgian 19-year-old, Rutherford, successfully landed her microlight aircraft back at the Airport, from where she had departed 155 days ago, fulfilling her dream to be the youngest woman to fly around the world solo.

“I feel incitant not only to break the Guinness World Record, but also to narrow the gender gap by 11 years between the current youngest man record holder, 18 at the time of his record, and the previous woman record holder, who was 30 when she completed her ‘Dreams Soar’ around- the-world flight.” Rutherford wrote on her blog. Rutherford’s journey crossing five continents and 52 countries began on August 18, 2021. She met many unexpected delays along the way. They included an unscheduled stop in California, due to the fierce wildfires and a stop in Alaska, to renew her visa. She also faced several challenges in the air. Despite the severe difficulties, the determined young pilot never gave up on her dream.

Rutherford grew up around airplanes. Her British father flies commercially, while her Belgian mother is also a pilot. The young girl began learning how to fly at age 14 and got her fight license in 2020. With her goal of flying around the world completed, Rutherford now has her sights set even higher. She wants to become an astronaut and explore space.

She hopes that her journey will encourage more young women to pursue careers in flight. Currently the number of women pilots is just 5 percent. Rutherford says, “It’s an easy thing to say, but just go for it. If you don’t try and see how high you can fly, then you’ll never know.”
