         When I was a child, I could not wait to see the world. I grew like the spring flowers in the garden.   
         When I was a teenager, I could not wait to leave home. I did not want to follow any rules, and I was
    as angry as the burning sun in the summer sky.   
          But then, I learned to think carefully before doing anything. Both good and bad things in the past became
    parts of my life, like autumn harvests for a farmer.   
          Now I am old. My body is weak, but my mind has become strong and clear because of those experiences
    in my younger days. I am like a winter leaf, ready to take a good rest.   
          These are the four seasons of my life.
