【推荐1】There was once a jar(广口瓶) of fresh, clean water. Every drop of water in the jar felt immensely proud of being so clean and pure. Day after day they would congratulate each other on how clean and beautiful they were. That was until one day when one of the drops got bored with his clean existence. He wanted to try what it was like being a dirty drop.
The other drops tried to talk to him out of it, but he stuck to his guns. Hardly realizing, when the drop came back all dirty, he turned all the other drops in the jar into dirty drops, too.
They tried to get clean again, but they couldn’t. They tried everything to shake off the dirtiness. Finally, much later, someone dipped the jar in a fountain, and only when a lot of clean water entered the jar did the drops regain their old transparency and purity. Now they all know that if they all want to be nice clean drops, then each and every one of them has to stay clean, even if they find it difficult. That drop that succeeded in being dirty has realized that correcting the mistake of one single drop needs a lot of work for everyone else.
The same happens to us and our friends. If we want to live in a jar of clean water, each of us will have to be a clean drop. How about you? What are you? A clean drop?

Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go . Death had never touched me so closely.
After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.
Enjoying life's precious quirks ( 偶发事件) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isn't content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.
I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.
