四级考试阅读主旨题解题技巧实战（23）

You understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be surely marked, broken, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life. How?

Dont undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others . It is because we are different that each of us is special. Dont set your goals by what other people consider important. Only you know what is best for you. Dont take for granted the things closest to your heart. Stick to them as you would to life, for without them, its meaningless. Dont let life one day at a time, you live ALL the days of your life. Dont run through life so fast that your forget not only where youve been, but also where youre going. Dont use time or words carelessly. Neither can be regained. Life is not a race, but a journey to be enjoyed each step of the way. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. That is why we call it---The Present.

A We should strive for balance in our life.
