3、e next promotion, the bigger paycheck, the larger house. Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure; it is work.

4、usiness taking it for granted. Its so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours and our minutes. Its so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never

5、have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination.

After three months of rest I went back to college, but then things took a turn for the worse. I was staying at my Nanas house and woke up in t

11、he middle of the night with a terrible pain in my chest. I knew I was having a heart attack again. I couldnt even shout for help.

12、oblems and I needed an operation immediately to repair them. Unfortunately, the surgery didnt go well and they only managed to repair one of the holes.

20、 an Uber to take me to the Boston airport for a flight home for the holidays. As I slid into the back seat of the car, the warm intonations (语调) of the drivers accent washed over me in a familiar way. I learned that he was a recent West African immigrant with a few young children, working hard to pr

21、ovide for his family. I could relate: I am the daughter of two Ethiopian immigrants who made their share of sacrifices to ensure my success. I told him I was on a college break and headed home to visit my parents. Thats how he found out I go to Harvard. An approving eye glinted (闪烁) at me in the rea

22、rview window, and quickly, we crossed the boundaries of rider and driver. I became his daughter, all grown up the product of his sacrifice. And then came the fateful question: “What do you study?” I answered “history and literature” and the pride in his voice faded, as I knew it might. I didnt even

23、get to add “and African-American studies” before he cut in, his voice thick with disappointment. “All that work to get into Harvard, and you study history?”Here I was, his daughter, squandering the biggest opportunity of her life. He went on to deliver the age-old lecture that all immigrant kids kno

24、w. We are to become doctors (or lawyers, if our parents are being generous) to make money and send money back home. The unspoken demand, made across generations, which my Uber driver laid out plainly, is simple: Fulfill your role in the narrative (故事) of upward mobility so your children can do the s

25、ame. I used to feel anxious and backed into a corner by the questioning, but now as a junior in college, Im grateful for their support more than anything.

29、 searched in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those. I looked through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I calle

30、d out to him “Have you got a light?” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes inadvertently (不经意地) locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I dont know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness, perhaps it was because, when you g

31、et very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didnt want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and generated a smile on his lips, too. He li

And his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension too. “Do you have kids?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family.
