(翻译)remind sb. of sth._______

Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness，failure and success，hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with kinds of situations．

Love

Love plays an important role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life，our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong，good and bad.

Happiness and Sadness

Happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment．Peace of mind makes you feel happy. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are sad．

Failure and Success

Success brings in money，fame，pride and self-respect. Failure is the way to success, and it helps us to touch the sky，teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder．

Hope and Despair

Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream．Hope builds in patience．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour，because after every night there is a day. Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control．Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So what we can choose is to work hard today，so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

I usually get up at 5:00. I make coffee, go to my desk and work. When my boys get up, I’m theirs. I follow the min to the kitchen and make them breakfast. While they’re eating, I make their lunch, pick out their school clothes and get the little one dressed.

    My wife takes them to school. I bring them home. I am not the only father at the school gate. The boys and I walk the 12 blocks home unless the weather is terrible. Then we take the subway. I remind them of looking out, like an animal looking after their babies.

    At home, they play on the computer and the little one will draw, sometimes for hours. When their mother comes home, they run to her. She has been in the official day and tired, but her attention is all on them.

    I have made dinner. We sit down and eat together. After they do their homework, Karen takes them to bed. I listen to the noise of the boys’ and their mother’s voice.

    One afternoon when we were on the way home from school, the boys and I stopped at the clothing store. The saleswoman looked at the boys and said to me in a low voice, “You’re Mr. Mom, aren’t you?” I felt very angry. I’m not Mr. Mom. That’s not how I look at myself. The boys have a mother, a wonderful mother. She works outside the home, I work in the home. We are parents together. I’m a father!
