My story of mobile phone
By Aggie

As a teenage girl, I curiously regarded those who held a huge bricklike mobile phone in their hands as wealthy and successful elites. I also longed for a mobile phone which would indicate me as part of them.
In the third year of my senior high, my mother said to me, "Yingping, I'll buy you a mobile phone as soon as you enter the university." However, instead of a gleeful and grateful acceptance, I always responded with a flat refusal, "No, thanks." At that time, I was self-sufficient enough to show my contempt for such a mechanical device, which I believed would bother the independence and leisure of my campus life and would subject me to the strict control of others anytime they wanted to call me.

Then after a year of my college life, during my first summer vacation I eagerly hinted to my mom that I wanted a mobile phone when I was chatting with her. Why did I change my mind? Why was I so willing to sacrifice my long-cherished freedom and privacy? The answer was that I communed with myself and reached a compromise that it was worthwhile to trade in part of my freedom and privacy in exchange for the convenience that this information age has to offer me.

In the previous year I'd suffered a lot from the lack of a mobile phone. I often missed calls at the dorm from my family or friends. And the most unbearable part was that I had to spend ages trying to find an available IC card phone, and then stand in the chilling wind and the noisy staircase talking on it in a trembling voice.
Now I've got a mobile phone. It cleared up all the inconveniences I'd experienced. Besides, it makes my life much easier. Whenever and wherever it is needed, I can get hold of anybody on the phone as long as his or hers is on.

Not long ago, my mother had an operation. I was so worried about her that I always wanted to get the firsthand news about her condition. During that time she was in hospital, unable to move out of bed. So how could I get in touch with her? The mobile phones helped. My mum's weak and slow voice coming from the mobile phones helped calm me down and relieve my worries. Furthermore, I'm able to exchange thoughts and feelings with friends who are great distances away. So even though we are apart, we are close to each other in mind and heart.

Undoubtedly, the mobile phone is not the key to everything. It sure bring about annoying disturbances as well. However, I cannot help but say the mobile phone has changed my life greatly. It helps me learn about and enjoy the conveniences of the modern technology. It closes the distance between me and my family and friends. Most significantly, it teaches me how to reach a wise compromise between what I need to believe in and what the ever-changing society has revealed and provided to me.

给自己一颗清澈的心
林雅玲

徐徐海风抚面来,咸咸海味飘入鼻,独坐海岸石栏上,放眼望这无边海.静静地望着这片深蓝的海,细细地解读着这片深蓝的海.发现了海的神美,发现了海的深邃,发现了海的宽广.

观着海,心静了.望不尽的海,有着宽广的心胸,恰如那颗宽容的心.别因为一件小事而动怒,别因为受到一点委屈而怄气...或许那只是他人一时的疏忽;或许那只是他人不经意的玩笑;或许那只是一场谁都预料不到的意外;或许...一颗宽容的心将化解一场仇视;一颗宽容的心,令自己也令他人漾出笑意.

曲折的人生道路上,磕磕绊绊是难免的,就让我们放开自己的心胸,多一份宽容吧.

公车上,人多拥挤,纠纷也时常发生.细想,这纠纷就无法避免吗?若别人一声歉意的"对不起",你能以善意的微笑回之,而不苦苦计较,那何来纠纷呢?一次朋友聚会上,狄恩·马丁消遣里根拍的电影没多高的票房,幸好里根自己知趣地息影了.听到这消遣自己的话语时,里根动怒了吗?与狄恩·马丁争吵了吗?没有!凭着宽广的心胸,他反用了句自嘲,幽默式的语句"我总算知道什么时候该息影"来回应了他,就这样化解了一场令自己尴尬的局面.这就是宽容的魅力.

海有海的宽广,而溪流却有溪流的透澈.在那阒静的山间,我们感受到了心醉的静谧.静谧间又传来了潺潺溪流声.近看,它是那般的透澈怡人心.近听,它是那样的清脆,简单而又悦耳.而纯真,平和的心,恰似这潺潺溪水,透亮.

"黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛,我却用它来寻找光明."倘使挫折中的我们能有颗平和的心,我们将不再烦躁,不再自暴自弃,不再懊恼.听听,马克思曾经说过"自暴自弃,这是一条腐蚀和啃啮着心灵的青蛇,它吸取着心灵的新血液,并在其中注入厌世和绝望的毒液."可见自暴自弃绝对是一杯毒液,就让我们用颗平和的心去发现问题解决问题吧.在挫折中站起来,在挫折中找到方向.相信我们会在挫折中寻找到成功的曙光.

想想,这宽容,平和的心,不正是颗清澈的心吗?!拥有这样一颗清澈的心,我们是在积蓄着一种幸福,一种你与我共同的幸福.

青春的我喊出了青春的宣言-给自己一颗清澈的心.这是我此刻的宣言,这是我青春的宣言,这更是我一生不变的宣言.
