When I was in primary school，I got into a major(主要的) argument with a boy in my class. I can't   1  what it was about，but I have never forgotten the   2  I learned that day.
I was sure that I was right and he was wrong－and he strongly believed that I was wrong and he was right. The   3  decided to teach us a very important lesson. She   4  both of us up to the   5  of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the   6  of her desk was a large，round object. I could   7  see that it was black. She asked the boy what   8   the object was. "White," he answered in a loud voice.
I couldn't believe he said the object was white,   9 it was obviously black！Another   10   started between my classmate and me，this   11  about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. We changed   12 ，and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I   13   answer，"White." It was an object with two   14  colored sides，and from his side it was white.  15  from my side was it black.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day：You must stand in the other person's shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their view.

For many years I had a good life. My illness was reasonably (适度的) under control, I had a nice relationship with my husband, I did work, I didn't hate. It was, as I said, a good life.

   But there's a saying that the good is the enemy of the best. I finally realized this one day, and began making my best life. I changed doctors and tried a new way that could relieve(减轻) my symptoms (症状) , rather than just making them easier to deal with. I started talking more with my husband and listening to what he had to say. And I quit(辞掉) my job and started working for myself.

I have the best life I've ever had. I'd call it great. It is possible there's a better life for me, which would then be my "best life" , but for now I don't think so. I've started a business I love. My husband and kids are wonderful. I have a good friend and I'm close to my older sister who lives in town. Could it get better? I suppose so. But for me I think this is the best life I can have right now.

Think more about your life. Where are you living? Are you in a job you just don't mind? What makes your life "good" ? Why isn't it great? What's the enemy of the best and what can you do about it?

Enjoy your best life. We're only here for a short while, and we all need to have the best possible time we can. It's like going to Disney World. If you spend too much time standing in line waiting for the ride, pretty soon your time's up. Get out of the "good" line and have your best life.
