I was only five when my father had taken me abroad, and that was eighteen years ago. When my mother had died after a tragic accident, he did not quickly recover from the shock and loneliness. Everything around him was full of her presence, continually reopening the wound. So he decided to emigrate. In the new country he became absorbed in making a new life for the two of us, so that he gradually ceased to grieve. He did not marry again and I was brought up without a mother's care, but I lacked for nothing, for he was both father and mother to me. He always meant to go back one day, but not to stay. His roots and mine had become too firmly embedded in the new land.
我停下车,让汽车的发动机冷却一下,同时查看一下地图。我本想着离目的地已经不远了,但周围一切对我仍很陌生。我5岁那年,父亲就带我出了国,那是18年前的事了。当时我母亲在一次事故中惨死,父亲未能很快从悲痛和孤独中恢复过来。他身边的一切都有母亲的影子,不断地勾起他的伤感。于是他决定移居他国。在这个新的国家里,父亲专心致志地为我们俩人开创一种新的生活,他也慢慢地不伤心了。父亲没有再娶,因此我在没有母亲的环境中长大成人。但我什么也不缺,因为他既当父亲又当母亲。他总想将来回国看看,但不愿长期住下去。因为他和我已经深深地扎根在了这片异国的土地上。

Survival is the Fittest
At the economy market, it is very important to understand the "Survival of the Fittest", which tells us that one cannot keep its position unless he has to meet the changeable needs of the society or the market. For example, if a factory which produces radios failed to know what the customers need, it would not be able to survive at today's market. On the contrary, if the factory can constantly change its products to satisfy customer's needs, it will develop fast. Therefore, it is obvious that at the economy market, every enterprise should follow the principle, "Survival of the Fittest".
In our daily life, it is also applicable to everyone. We need to adapt ourselves to the changing environment. Otherwise we could not keep up with the pace of the development. For instance, if you didn't want to accept the e-mail for communication, you will fall behind others in receiving the information. As a result, you might be ousted.
To meet the needs of the social development, I need to study continuously. Also I have to adjust myself from time to time. Learning will help me to catch up with the new tides in the society, and adjustment will help me to make necessary correction in my personalities and behaviors.
