The moment I see a beautiful cloud while driving,taking in the colorful light during a sunset,or watching birds flying south,I begin to think what we are supposed to learn from nature and animals.Nature does not hurry,yet everything is accomplished.As seasons change,we are guided to learn acceptance and non-resistance.A green leaf doesn't resist turning red when autumn approaches.Trees don't resist leaves falling when winter arrives.They stand deeply rooted in the ground,with their vulnerability out in the open and branches spread wide,giving up to the universe.Do what you will with me;I trust it is for my highest good.
Who said that the bamboo is more beautiful than the maple tree and maple tree is more valuable than the bamboo?Does the bamboo feel jealous of the maple tree because it is bigger and its leaves change color?The idea of trees comparing themselves to others is ridiculous,as should humans comparing themselves to one another.We must compare our growth to who we were yesterday not to the growth of another.Everyone is incomparably unique.
The community of bees and ants all participate together to benefit all those in their community.We each have our own calling that is best performed by us.Each part is necessary for a functioning family,community,nation and world.Embrace your special responsibility,share it proudly with the world,and always do your best.
Birds flying through the sky represent the limitless freedom and potential available to us if we

Latin and the works of Sophocles(索福克勒斯，诗人）are no longer the preserve of private schools thanks to a project that links professors with underprivileged teenagers.
The new project between King's College London(KCL)and Newham Sixth Form College in east London offering lessons in Classics to bright senior-three students is now in its second year.
Students from disadvantaged backgrounds with high academic potential can attend the classes,which are designed to inspire and engage them in challenging topics that are often the preserve of private schools.
Lecturers cover subjects including ancient literature,religion,theology,Persian history and philosophy.Some teenagers from neighbouring state schools also attend.The students act out Greek plays such as Antigone by Sophocles and are encouraged to consider Classics as a degree.
