    　　You’ve seen news reports about people who need help after a flood．Maybe you’ve walked past people who are sleeping on the streets．Or perhaps you’ve watched TV programs about how lonely older people can get．So what can you do about any of those things? The answer：You can volunteer(做志愿者)．

    　　Volunteering is a great way to learn new skills－from working as part of a team to setting and reaching goals．It gives you a chance to find out what kinds of things you’re good at and enjoy the most．Volunteering can provide you with a sense of responsibility because people really depend on you．And it can help you understand disabled(残疾的)people, sick kids, or the elderly．

    　　Volunteering helps people feel they do have the power to change things for the better．When people depend on you, it can change the way you look at yourself, and this is the main reason that makes volunteering attractive．You can feel proud of the goals that you’ve achieved(实现)for a charity organization(慈善组织)－whether it’s helping to organize a 10K to raise money for lung cancer or running the race itself．

    　　Sometimes it’s easy to feel worried about your grades or the fight you had with your friend or parents．And although these things are very important in their own way, sometimes it can be helpful to get some distance and think about other things．Volunteering allows you to do this．It lets you focus on others that are worth doing．

    　　Finally, volunteering can help save you from being bored－it gives you a place to be where you can have a good time and keep busy．

    To a large degree，the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment．Regardless of what happened yesterday or last year，and what may or may not happen tomorrow，the present moment is where you are―always!

       We allow past problems and future concerns to control our present moments so much that we end up anxious，frustrated，depressed，and hopeless．We often convince ourselves future will be better than today. John Lennon once said，“Life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans” “When we're busy making other plans”，our children are busy growing up，the people we love are moving away and dying，our bodies are getting out of shape．and our dreams are slipping away．In short, we miss out on life．

        Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date．It isn't．In fact，no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow．Now is the only time we have．and the only time that we have any control over．When our attention is in the present moment．we push fear from our minds．Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future―we won't have enough money，our children will get into trouble．we will get old and die，whatever．

        To struggle against fear，the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present．Mark Twain said，“I have been through some terrible things in my life．some of which actually happened．”I don't think I can say it any better．Practice keeping your attention on the here and now and your efforts will pay off．
