你可以想象一下他的处境和整晚的恐惧。死神随时都可能降临。他的手开始发凉，渐渐地抓不住了„当太阳升起的时候，他朝下看了看，笑了。下面压根就没有什么深渊。在他下方六英尺的地方有一块大石头。岩石那么大，他本可以在那儿休息一个晚上，美美的睡上一觉，但昨晚他却在梦魇中度过。
恐惧只是六英尺的距离而已。接下来，到了你做决定的时候了：你是想要继续抓着树枝过梦魇一般的生活，还是更喜欢把手从树枝上松开，双脚着地？

hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house.He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging（摇摆，饶舌）as fast as it could.To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his.He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly.As he left the House, he thought to himself, “This is a wonderful place.I will come back and visit it often.”
In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house.He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door.When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled（咆哮）at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him.As he left, he thought to himself, “That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again.”
All the faces in the world are mirrors.What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?
