A

Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.

My earliest memories of my father are a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and his family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café. We talked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

BWhen milk arrived on the doorstep

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn’t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer． Of course，he delivered more than milk．There was cheese，eggs and so on．If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note—“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” — and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically(魔术般) appear. All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery. There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete(竞争). Besides，milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practical to have a delivery service. Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch(门廊). Every so often my son will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

Mandela Day is an annual international day adopted by the United Nations, which is a global call to action for people to recognize their individual power to change the world around them. It is more than a celebration of Nelson Mandela's life and legacy; it is a global movement to take his life's work into a new century and change our world for the better. It is important to note that Mandela Day will not be a public holiday.

Mandela Day includes a series of events involving entertainment, music, film and community service with the hope of inspiring people around the globe to use their individual power to help change the world around them for the better. A global movement for positive change begins with small actions. As each person acts, they fuel momentum toward positive change, raising awareness and expanding the reach of Mr. Mandela’s values－fighting injustice, helping people in need.

When I was at school, our teacher often said, “You are what you eat.” She wanted us to eat the right food to be healthy.

Japanese people are said to be the healthiest in the world. They eat rice and fish and vegetables every day. They drink green tea or water when they are thirsty, and snack on dried fish, fruit or nuts. So we can believe that you become what you eat. When you know the advantages of different kinds of food, you can use your knowledge well and eat what you want to become.

Have you ever heard any of the following advice?

Lettuce or milk can make you sleepy while peanuts or dried fish will stop that feeling.

To keep your teeth clean, you should eat apples often.

Garlic (大蒜) helps to prevent colds.

Feature restaurants might be named after what they hope to create. Let’s take the restaurant “Winners” as an example. Its menu would list dishes specifically designed to help you win sports games. There would be rich tomato sauce (调味汁) full of vitamin C and soft vegetables. All this would have a little fresh cheese on the top – just enough to help you get a good night’s sleep.

What will happen to junk food in the future? If ice cream is not good for children, can’t we give them fat-free, sugar-free tofu ice cream? We are told dried fruit is a healthier snack than biscuits, so some biscuit companies are making biscuits with more vitamins. So in the future, you might be able to eat your way to health!

How Failure Helps You to Succeed and Grow
