Life is full of heartaches, joys and many lessons to learn. However, it is up to us to decide how we begin and end it. I 1 believe that every day when we 2 up in the morning, we should be 3 of the fact that time is slipping away fast and violently like sand in an hourglass(沙漏).
We can choose to free our minds of whatever lies ahead and prevent life from limiting our vision of the future or 4 us from achieving what we are tending to become. Although, the journey of life will not always be 5 because at times we will meet many challenges, we should never despair but 6every moment. Every choice or decision we make should be pursued7.
Despite the fact that at some point life present to us countless possibilities, it is those challenging times that always8us towards realizing our purpose in life and greatness.
Sometimes life's 9can make us feel that the current situation we face conflicts with how we’d like to keep in life. However, it is only if we allow life's challenges to 10 our direction and decision that we may never 11realize our potential. We should not allow life's challenges to limit our reach for a better future. If we take control of today to our12by leaving no stone unturned, tomorrow is already reshaped for the better.
Life is always filled with uncertainties. It is on this basis that we should not13time on small things and with people who take us for granted. We ought to learn from experiences and use them to reset our14and goal in life. This way, we will be better off, more successful. We should never waste any time or15and this can only be actualized once we realize that life is full of possibilities.
Your hard work will your success.

Over the past 40 years, China has helped more than 700 million rural residents out of being poor, and the poverty rate(贫困率) — the proportion of people living below the Chinese poverty line — had fallen among the rural population from 97.5 percent in 1978 to 3.1 percent at the end of 2017, official figures shows. China's achievements in poverty alleviation(扶贫) made the world look at China with admiration.
"For me, it is unbelievable that over 40 years, that is, over the course of one working lifetime, China has gone from one of the poorest countries in the world to one that is about to eliminate(消除) absolute poverty," said Craig Allen, president of the US-China Business Council.
Varaprasad Sekhar Dolla, a professor of Chinese studies at India's Jawaharlal Nehru University, also spoke highly of China's achievements in poverty reduction. "If global poverty came down greatly in the last three or four decades, it's partly because of the Chinese contribution to reducing poverty within its own national boundaries," said the Indian scholar.
In the eyes of Khairy Tourk, a professor of economics with the Stuart School of Business at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, "many countries look up to China to learn from its experience." "The Chinese experience is based on building a modern infrastructure(基础设施) and then on setting up special economic zones that would help underdeveloped countries to become more industrial," he added.
In the government work report delivered at the opening of the annual NPC session (全国人大会议) on March 5, China promises to reduce its population of rural poor by over 10 million this year.
