1、When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly,it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away、The lesson of the story, I suggested,was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something、The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man、He will never know what it feels like to yearn, to hope,to nourish his soul with the dream of something better、He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him and gives him something he has always wanted or never had、There is a wholeness about the person who has e to terms with his limitations,who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so、There is a wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is h2 enough to go through a tragedy and survive,she/he can lose someone and still feel like a plete person、

3、In America, we value individuality and like to think that everyone is different、It is expected that most youth will be somewhat rebellious sometime around college age、Youthful rebellion is often seen as a healthy and normal groping toward individuality,especially as needed to bee distinct from one’s parents、The rebelliousness may be related to major social issues —peace, or racial justice, as we had in the late 1960s、On the other hand, normal, healthy rebelliousness may be an individual test of the line between foolishness and trouble、Early teens may try to shock and worry their parents、

5、Once a circle missed a wedge、The circle wanted to be whole,so it went around looking for its missing piece、But because it was inplete and therefore could roll only very slowly,it admired the flowers along the way、It chatted with worms、It enjoyed the sunshine、It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit、So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching、Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly、It was so happy、Now it could be whole, with nothing missing、It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll、Now that it was a perfect circle,it could roll very fast,too fast to notice the flowers，to talk to the worms、

6、Love and Learning ? A Good Match、Some people say that in the United States the most academically fulfilled college students are those who have fallen in love、Love is a kind of motivation for learning、They even say that a student on a US campus will be regarded as eccentric if without a boy/girl friend and that dating is the most indispensable part of college campus life、Most college students are young adults who are discovering their place in the world、They discover ideas, information, and opportunities,but they also often discover each other、Everyday on campus, I see students in love, students hoping for love,and students mourning lost or unrequited love、

7、Love is a kind of motivation for learning —this would be hard to prove or disprove,but real, solid love between two students definitely can bring clarity and focus to a student’s work、Suddenly, doing well in school may be twice as meaningful、They have each other to impress and to look to for help and support when things get difficult、I’ve seen this happen, and like all aspects of true love;it is a beautiful sight、However, love does not arrive fully formed,as if it is something for college students to pick up when they pay their tuition or buy their books、Getting to know potential romantic partners requires the awkward, time-consuming,and frequently frustrating process called dating、At this stage, relationships are new, unstable, and often chaotic、

8、A fad allows everyone to demonstrate how different he is — in the same way、Fads wear out、 Fads e and go、Streaking became a fad in the fall of 1973,soon making national headlines、It faded out and then came back in the 80’s and again in the 90’s、On at least one campus (Princeton University, a highly respected school),a form of streaking has bee a tradition、Each year at midnight on the night of the first snow,nude sophomores run around Princeton’s Holder Courtyard、The tradition has taken hold to an extent that it gets favorable treatment in the national press,and official attempts to end the practice get no public support、

9、Do you go on that date or study for the test?Do you sit where you can hear the teacher and participate in the class discussion,or do you sit in the back of the room where you can see the object of your desire and possibly exchange those all-important glances?Do you risk missing a crucial bit of information or being caught unaware with a question while you plan your next step in the relationship?Where is your attention, really? On calculus or on how to land that date?

11、Tattoos, pierced noses, and brightly colored hair are examples、By college age, students may be expected to be testing broader social norms、Of particular delight are actions that point out the hypocrisy of older generations、Streaking, or “running naked through a public place”,is a fine example of that kind of testing、Public nudity is widely condemned by officialdom and can be punished、However, as long as the streaker escapes without being caught,streaking is clearly harmless;one would be sorry to miss seeing a given instance、Streaking is a fad、

12、Life is not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn us for failing、Life is not a spelling bee,where no matter how many words you’ve gotten right,you’re disqualified if you make one mistake、Life is more like a baseball season,where even the best team loses one-third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance、Our goal is to win more games than we lose、When we accept that imperfection is part of being human,and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it,we will have achieved a wholeness that others can only aspire to、That, I believe, is what God asks of us —not “be perfect”, not “don’t even make a mistake”, but “be whole、”If we are brave enough to love, h2 enough to forgive,generous enough to rejoice in another’s happiness,and wise enough to know there is enough love to go around for us all,then we can achieve a fulfillment that no other living creature will ever know、
