I think it is a
good idea for them to make these life changes. The
meaning
of
life
is
to
make
life
meaningful.
Anita
and
Jasmin
obviously
felt
bored
with
what
they
did
every
day,
and
couldn't
find
contentment,
fulfillment
and
pleasure
in
their
life,
so
it
was
the
right
time
for
them
to
make
a
change.
They
needed
to
try
something
different,
something
that
can
bring
them
new
experience,
give
them
a
sense
of
achievement,
and
revive
their
passion for life. Even though they are
in their 30s, it's never too late
for
them
to
pursue
what
they
really
want
to
do in
their life. The
pursuit of
their dreams pushes them forward and inspires them
to
live life to the fullest.
* *
?
I think it is
too risky for them to make these life changes at
such
an age, especially for Anita
Jacobs who sold her house and gave
up
her job just to go traveling. I just doubt whether
she will be able
to
make
a
living
when
she finishes
traveling.
It's not unusual
for
many people to feel bored about doing
the same job every day.
But the point
is that this job pays enough so that we can make a
living, and we can have some money put
away for retirement after
paying
the
bills
and
putting
food
in
our
mouths.
So
when
the
going
gets tough, just remember times when we have a
peaceful
life at home after an eight-
hour day.

A
typical
example
is
Bill
Gates,
the
former
chief
executive
of
Microsoft,
the
world's
largest
personal-computer
software
company.
Bill
Gates
enrolled
at
Harvard
University
in
the
fall
of
1973, originally thinking
of a career in law. He did well there, but
he didn't find it interesting. He spent
many long nights in front of
the
school's computer and the next day was asleep in
class. When
the MITS Altair 8800 based
on the Intel 8080 CPU was released in
1974, he and his friend Paul Allen saw
this as a great opportunity
to
start
their
own
computer
software
company.
So
Bill
Gates
dropped out of Harvard
to start a business to write software for
computers. It was a hard decision but
it turned out to be the right
choice.

People say Lewis Hamilton is a
talented driver who has made remarkable
achievements in his career.
In his
first season in Formula One, he set numerous
records, and was
just
one
point
behind
the
champion
in
the
2007
Formula
One
Championship. Then he won the World
Championship the following
season.
I think Lewis Hamilton is a
sporting hero because of the excitement
and
joy
that
his
courageous
performances
in
2007
and
2008
have
brought
to
his
countless
fans.
He
showed
us
that
in
any
case
we
should never give up, even if the
conditions are not favorable.

The sporting hero I admire most is Lang
Ping, a former player of
Chinese
Women's Volleyball Team, nicknamed
a
beloved
sporting
hero
and
one
of
the
most
respected
people
in
modern Chinese sports
history mainly because of her central role in
the
success
of
the
Chinese
Women's
Volleyball
Team
in
the
1980s,
including the Gold
Medal at the 1984 Olympics, World Championship
crown in 1982 and World Cup titles in

We
all
have
dreams
in
our
life.
These
dreams
may
be
things
we
want
to
accomplish,
places
we
want
to
go,
or
feats
we
must
attempt.
Whatever they are, dreams give us a
purpose in life and a meaning to live,
and allow us to fight for what we
believe in. However, we should not let
our dreams control our life and become
a slave to them. In fact there are
other things we should work for apart
from our own dreams, such as our
family
and our friends. So don't be afraid to let go our
dreams if we have
to.
?
The second quote tells us
that we should always strive to attain our
dreams in life. Dreams push us to move
forward, to struggle, to strive all
the
time. Without dreams, life is a life without hope;
without dreams, we
are as lost as a
bird which has lost the gift of flight. So follow
our dreams
* *
and let our ambition fuel us to surpass
our limits. Never quit and always
think
of different ways to win.
