am a good friend to my   38  ．I have tried to make marriage vows (誓约)   39   what they
say．I am a good friend to my friends，and they   40   me．Without them，there would be nothing to say to you today．

Get a life in which you are not   43  ．Find people you love，and who love you．And remember that love is not   44  ，it is work．   45    the phone．Send an e-mail．Write a letter．And realize that life is the best thing and   46  yon have no business taking it for granted.

By telling them   52  ：Read in the backyard with the sun on your face．Learn to be happy-
And think of life as a deadly   53  ，because if you do   54  it ought to be lived，you will live it with joy and   55  ．
