Those were just two sessions of self-study exercises at night. But they were filled with excitement and understanding. Though they were strangers, they came with bright smiles and with loving hearts. They gathered together here at the Lecture Hall for the sake of love and positive energy. Although those who shared their stories with us came from different parts of the world: Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Taiwan; they all came with one heart.
Listening to the stories told in English or in Chinese made my heart leap. Of all the stories I listened to, the story about love touched me most. She said: “If you want to be successful, there are five important circles in your life.”
The first circle is family. Our family loves us forever. They are always there to help us. We can always count on them.
The second, friends. Of all the friends we make during our lifetime, how many can be counted as true friends? Friends always play an important role in our life. We need true friends.
The third, work. We all need to work to make a living, to improve on ourselves, to enjoy working, and to enrich our lives.
The fourth, health. Health is very important to us. Without health, everything else means nothing to us.
The last one, happiness. Happiness is indispensable in our life. Because of happiness, our life will be more blessed and splendid.
Apart from the five circles, there was another bigger circle that enclosed seamlessly all the five circles. It was the circle of love. Because love enlivens all the lifeless words and warms up our heart.
After having listened to all the stories, it seemed to me that I have known the world once again. I have found my purpose. I want to work hard for my future just like them.

这是充满激动与感悟的两节晚自习吧！陌生的面孔，却都带着灿烂的笑容，怀揣着一颗爱自己更爱他人的心，为了爱与正能量齐聚在报告厅。虽来自不同地方，加拿大、新西兰、英国、台湾，但彼此的初心都是相同的。听着他们说着或是自己或是他人的故事，或是英文或是汉语，我总是心潮澎湃。令我感触最深的或许是那位新西兰华侨所说的“爱”了吧。她说人想要成功，在一生中不可或缺的是五个圆圈。第一个，家人。家人永远是最爱我们，最愿意帮助我们，也是我们最愿意依赖的。第二个，朋友。人的一生中真正知心、交心的朋友又有几个？朋友在我们的一生中总扮演着那么重要的角色，我们也更要有些真朋友，好朋友。第三个，工作。每个人都需要工作，用工作来谋生，来发展，从工作中获取快乐，充实我们的生活。第四个，健康。无论如何，健康都是我们最重要的。没有了健康，其他的一切又有什么意义？第五个，快乐。人的一生中，快乐是必不可少的，因为快乐，人生才更幸福，才更精彩、在这五个圆圈之外，还有一个大的圆圈，将这五个圆圈包裹在一起，密不可分，那就是----爱。爱是那么的重要，它使一切死板的字眼都鲜活起来，温暖了我们的心。听了他们的故事，我感觉自己又像重新认识了一遍世界。也使自己有了目标，要像他们一样拼搏过，努力过，才有今天的成功！
