夜深了。
今天打电话回家问候母亲的病情，心里久久不能释怀。她虽然整体还不错，但是手术后还有一些问题没有解决，而且还得了感冒，真够折腾的。她总向我叹息说，这次的病和手术真的让她受了不少罪。我也只能安慰她说，至少大体还是顺利的，而且面对这种境况，忧伤也没用，只会导致自己的身体难以恢复，不如以一种平静乐观的心态去面对，反而好得更快。回过头来想想，这些话除了说给母亲听以外，好像还是说给我自己听的。我不禁苦笑了一下。
突然母亲对我说，她看电视知道今年在房间里放一盆富贵竹会带来好运。于是她在病床上时就叮嘱父亲一定要在我家乡的房间里放上一盆，以保佑我在深圳万事顺利。可是父亲却总是没有上心， 迟迟未按她的说法去做，大概男人都是这么粗心和不经意的吧！ 前几天母亲身体好点了可以下床了，她就亲自去弄富贵竹插到瓶子里，然后在我房间里养着。听着听着，我都感到一阵心酸。病中的母亲心中最牵挂的，依然是无法照顾和探视她的远方的儿子。难怪古人云：生儿一百岁，长忧九十九。孩子对父母的关心， 真的远不如后者对前者的十分之一！ 父母的心都是倾注在孩子身上， 而孩子的心却山高海阔，四处飘荡，没有多少能放在父母的身上。
母亲知道我在开培训中心的过程中遇到不少困难和挫折，叹息地对我说：“我知道你一个人在深圳打拼真的不容易。在那里你没有关系，没有人脉，只能靠自己打拼，是很辛苦的。所以你一定要保重身体。事业做不做得成没关系，但是身体一旦垮了就什么也没有了。不管做什么都不要急于求进，要慢慢来。”听了她的话，我禁不住对她说：“妈，在深圳没人脉没关系而打拼的人又不止我一人，还有千千万万和我一样的人，别人不也活得好好的？ 而且还有不少人成功了。我从来不怕没有关系和人脉，我会越过越好的。”
其实，说这话真的不是为了安慰母亲，而是我真实的心声。我不会去羡慕那些深圳本地的家里很有钱有关系的人，当然我也不是说鄙视他们，毕竟有钱有势并不是错，而是一种优势。我的意思是我从来不觉得自己惨，相反我觉得我很幸运，因为我有很多别人没有的东西。最起码，我有一个好母亲，不是吗？我喜欢拼搏和奋斗，越是无助的时候，在感到短暂的失落后，我会越感到兴奋和自豪，因为无助往往会成就英雄。在黑夜中行走，只要心中想着爱自己的人，就没有孤独和恐惧。心中点燃一盏爱的灯火，生活就永远充满希望。
每当我遇到困难时，母亲总会鼓励我。 虽然她可能不明白个中的细节，可是她总是会鼓励我不管遇到什么事情都要冷静乐观地面对。母亲的前半生也是在无比坎坷中度过的，是她在当初父亲失业家里欠债累累的情况下把整个家支撑起来的。突然间我想对母亲说：妈妈，只要我做事时想着你，我就没有做不成的事。

范文：
Try not to think that holding celebration parties is a waste of money; try instead to think that refraining from so doing is a waste of life. Life is sweet for certain and yet is too short for fun. A birthday party comes only once in a year and a wedding reception is supposed to happen once in everybody´s life span. Hence. it is significant to honor events like these to praise life itself in both individual and social contexts.
A celebration party is a get-together of families and friends for socializing plus merry-making. From a social point of view, it is normally seen as the recognition , or even the triumph, of life. Thus, a society in which people do not sing for life are out of steps with the social mainstream. Spending an affordable sum of money on hosting parties is ideal, and spending an extra bit in honor of life is understandable. Holding a party always has its price as well as its value. What seems unacceptable is a society in which people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
At the individual level, the more you celebrate your life in optimistic mood, the more there is in life to celebrate. Based on this concept, nothing is more emotional and symbolic than holding parties to share happiness among families and friends, which can empower optimism. It is as if party-related costs were likewise shared by all being there to some extent. Imagine that those are happy hours that money can buy. In pursuit of individual happiness, "wasting" money is not a dangerous thing. In any event, expenses are necessary since a party is not a party, were there without extra foods and extra drinks and loud music to dance to. What is money for should individuals miss the great fun and happiness from Heaven?
Rightfully, there is no better way to celebrate life than to hold a special party on a special occasion. Usually money used for that matter is well spent because one's life deserves to be as sweet as birthday and wedding cakes. Remember: you live only once. |
