　　“ The only thing holding you back is yourself．Never say never”, said a rising 17-year-old singer, Justin Bieber, who was just an ordinary boy in Canada a few years ago．

　　After the accident of falling from the 18^th floor and lying in the snow for three hours, my hands were frozen and my spinal cord(脊髓)was seriously injured．All the doctors and professors in the famous hospitals in Beijing told me that there was little chance for my hands and my body to recover(康复)．

　　After half a year of medical treatments and recovering exercises , I could not make any more progress for over a year．What was worse , I suffered a lot from depression(绝望)．On top of this , I suffered from insomnia , making every minute of the light seem to last forever．Hopelessly , mom and I came back to my hometown, which is small town in Guangdong．

　　At that time , I thought that I would never be able to walk again．I would never love and be loved．I would never be able to earn even a penny．I would never be able to repay the kindness I got from my parents and many nice people．Life was meaningless．

　　Now two years has passed．My hands are 80％ recovered．I can even type faster than a healthy person! Up to now, I have worked for a law firm as an interpreter for half a year already．Although I don't earn as much as before, I am able to pay for the food and clothes I need．What's more , I even have extra money to buy thanksgiving presents for my parents and my boyfriend．Through my blogs(博客), many people get to know me and like me．I can bring happiness to them．I can help those who are still suffering from depression and the pain of illnesses by chatting with them…．You see, I am living a meaningful life and I am happier than ever I could have dreamed．

　　So, my friends, never say never．As long as you are alive , there is always hope and possibilities．It is never too late to take action to realize your dreams．(382 words)

　　I went home one Saturday afternoon in the autumn of 1993 to get some work done in the garden．While sweeping leaves on the ground, my five-year-old son Nick came over and asked me to write something on a piece of paper to make a sign for him．

　　“What for? ” I asked．

　　“I'm going to sell some of my stones, ” he answered．

　　Nick was fascinated with stones and had collected many stones from all over．“I'm busy to do

　　that for you．Go and ask your mum for help．” I said．

　　A short time later, Nick returned with a sign, reading, “Stones．One Dollar Each”．He took the sign, a small chair and four of his best stones and walked to the road in front of our garden．There he put the stones in a line and sat down on the chair．

　　After half an hour, nobody passed by．I walked to him and asked him to go back, but he didn't．

　　Another half hour later, a small car came down the road．I watched as Nick stood up, holding his sign up．A woman rolled down a window and read the sign．I couldn't hear their talk, but I saw the woman turn to the driver and the man reach for his pocket．

　　I sat in the yard, as Nick ran to me．Waving the dollar, he shouted, “I told you I could sell one stone for a dollar-if you believe in yourself, you can do anything．”
