23、sofficersmissexpectedcancellbethat /which Write a diary about your lucky or unlucky day. Homework 1、不要做刺猬，能不與人結仇就不與人結仇，誰也不跟誰一輩子，有些事情沒必要記在心上。2、相遇總是猝不及防，而離別多是蓄謀已久，總有一些人會慢慢淡出你的生活，你要學會接受而不是懷念。3、其實每個人都很清楚自己想要什么，但并不是誰都有勇氣表達出來。漸漸才知道，心口如一，是一種何等的強大!4、有些路看起來很近，可是走下去卻很遠的，缺少耐心的人永遠走不到頭。人生，一半是現實，一半是夢想。5、沒什么好抱怨的，今

24、天的每一步，都是在為之前的每一次選擇買單。每做一件事，都要想一想，日后打臉的時候疼不疼。6、過去的事情就讓它過去，一定要放下。學會狠心，學會獨立，學會微笑，學會丟棄不值得的感情。7、成功不是讓周圍的人都羨慕你，稱贊你，而是讓周圍的人都需要你，離不開你。8、生活本來很不易，不必事事渴求別人的理解和認同，靜靜的過自己的生活。心若不動，風又奈何。你若不傷，歲月無恙。9、與其等著別人來愛你，不如自己努力愛自己，對自己好點，因為一輩子不長，對身邊的人好點，因為下輩子不一定能夠遇見。10、你迷茫的原因往往只有一個，那就是在本該拼命去努力的年紀，想得太多，做得太少。11、有一些人的出現，就是來給我們開眼的。

25、所以，你一定要禁得起假話，受得住敷衍，忍得住欺騙，忘得了承諾，放得下一切。12、不要像個落難者，告訴別人你的不幸。逢人只說三分話，不可全拋一片心。13、人生的路，靠的是自己一步步去走，真正能保護你的，是你自己的選擇。而真正能傷害你的，也是一樣，自己的選擇。14、不要那么敏感，也不要那么心軟，太敏感和太心軟的人，肯定過得不快樂，別人隨便的一句話，你都要胡思亂想一整天。15、不要輕易去依賴一個人，它會成為你的習慣，當分別來臨，你失去的不是某個人，而是你精神的支柱;無論何時何地，都要學會獨立行走，它會讓你走得更坦然些。16、在不違背原則的情況下，對別人要寬容，能幫就幫，千萬不要把人逼絕了，給人留條后路，懂得從內心欣賞別人，雖然這很多時候很難。17、做不了決定的時候，讓時間幫你決定。如果還是無法決定，做了再說。寧愿犯錯，不留遺憾!18、
