22、   When it comes to shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits (适合) me well. To me, if it zips (拉上拉链), it fits. My mom, however, usually says I need a bigger size. When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size made it impossible. When mom told me something didn’t suit me, or I needed a bigger size, all I heard was   that my body was wrong. To avoid arguments, we stopped going shopping together.

This continued until I got engaged (订婚) last year and needed to buy a wedding dress. Maybe I could buy it alone, of course, but my mom is the most important person in my life. The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed just inappropriate (不恰当的). Although the experience of taking her with me sounds pretty scary, I would still like to try it.

And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress, I saw tears in my mom’s eyes. “You look beautiful!” she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more. This one didn’t zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mother didn’t say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. At that moment, all the arguments in the past were erased off (抹去).

We didn’t buy a dress that day. We decided to see more, which I would never have predicted. A few weeks and many shopping trips later, we found the perfect dress. We both loved it as soon as I put it on. And during those few weeks, mom and I also found the perfect fit (搭配) for our shopping relationship.

23、   An elderly carpenter (木匠) was ready to retire (退休). He told his boss that he planned to leave the building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife, enjoying his big family. He would miss the pay check each week, but he needed to retire. He believed they could get by (勉强过活) even on a small amount of money.

The boss was sorry to see his good worker leave and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, but soon afterwards he was found to be absent-minded. He used shoddy materials to build the house. How disappointing it was to end his career in this way!

When the carpenter finished all his work, the boss came to inspect (检查) the new house as usual. But after that, he handed the front-door key to the carpenter, saying. “This is your house, my gift to you.”

What a shock! What a shame! If he had known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the worst house he had ever built in his life.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think about your house. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or put up a wall. Build wisely. It is the only life you ever build. Even if you live it for only one more day, that day deserves (值得) to be lived comfortably.

Life is a do-it-yourself project. Your life today is the result of your attitudes (态度) and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and the choices you make today.
