It seems that every time when happiness is at its peak, the tragedy begins.
似乎每一次幸福到達頂點的時候，都是悲劇的開始。
老鷹不會躲避暴風雨。它隻會借助暴風雨，借助暴風雨前夕的風而飛得更高。
當生活的暴風雨襲來時，我們同樣可以利用意誌和虔誠的信念，飛到暴風雨之上，經曆暴風雨的洗禮。
記住，生活本身的重擔並不能壓垮我們，而是取決於我們麵對它時的心態。
It sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm.
pick up：拾起；撿起
Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.
weigh down：壓垮
人生中最大的挑戰
Big Challenges

"Keep staring! I might do a trick!"
That' s the message on a T-shirt of mine. People stare at me all the time so I thought this shirt would be funny. See I' m a dwarf.
Most of the time people aren' t trying to be rude—they just haven' t seen many dwarfs like me before. I can understand that. But I also want to let them know that I see them staring. Usually the T-shirt makes them laugh at themselves not at me.
I was born with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. I have an average-size torso, but my arms and legs are shorter and my head is bigger than average. Right now I' m almost four feet tall and that' s about as tall as I' m going to get. I' m not going to pretend that my height isn' t a challenge. It is. Light switches and counters are usually too high for me.
But everyone faces challenges. You just have to face them with a good attitude. So I have a long barbecue fork to pull things down from pantry shelves. I' m a great climber and I can make a stool out of just about anything. I' ll even be able to drive a car with the help of pedal extensions. If all else fails, I ask for help.
Due to the way I see it, I can do just about anything that an average-size person can do. So I' ll never play professional sports but I have no problem testing my limits. I have to. For instance, everyone uses stoves. Little people just have to figure out how to use them in different ways. I use a stool to reach mine at home. It may take me longer and it may be harder but I can still do it.
