One day I decided to quit．I quitted my job, my relationship, my spirituality. I wanted to quit my life.
I went to the to have one last talk with God． "Can you give me one good not to quit?" His answer surprised me．
"Look around． Do you see the fern（蕨类植物） and the bamboo? When I planted their seeds, I took good care of them．The fern quickly grew from the earth． nothing came from the bamboo seed． During the following three years, the fern grew more plentiful． And , nothing came from the bamboo seed． But I did not quit on the bamboo． Then in the fifth year a sprout（新芽） emerged from the earth． Compared to the fern it was small and insignificant． But just 6 months later the bamboo to over 100 feet tall． It had spent the five years growing ． Those roots made it strong and gave it it needed to survive．I wouldn’t give any of my creations a challenge it could not ．”
He said to me .”All this time you have been struggling , you have ___been growing roots . I would not quit on the bamboo.____will I ever quit on you .Don’t ____yourself with others .The bamboo had a different ____from the fern .Yet they both make the forest beautiful .Your time will ___ .You will rise high!”
"How high should I rise?" I asked．
"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked ．
"As high as it can?" I ．
"Yes," He said． "Give me glory rising as high as you can．"
I left the forest and bring back this story． I hope it can help you see that God will never on you． Never regret a day in your life． Good days give you happiness． Bad days give you ． Both are necessary to life．

I had been playing hockey（冰球）for about 10 years. I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and got into a game. I went to all the and showed up even when it was so that your ‘breath froze’ and when the other players had decided to stay home. I felt I had enough and thought of quitting.
I finally decided to the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise , so think about yourself in a way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape, my shot accuracy and changing my .
Once in a match, we our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going , I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.
The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little . But my mom’s words out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my work was paying off. I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the to score. The crowd went quiet. All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had _____ me for this moment.

At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn, even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers. While many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn"t wait to be out in the world on my own. I had been looking forward to this chance for longer than I could remember. And once again, while my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me. Sure, there were times when she’d nag (不断地唠叨)me about certain choices I made, but for the most part she did not stand in my way.
One big thing I realized during my senior year was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what"s important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her; she is the strongest woman I know and that"s why I have turned out so strong and independent.
