There are four seasons in a year. I like spring best. When spring comes, the weather is getting warmer and warmer. The nights get shorter and the days get longer. The temperature is also suitable for outdoor activities. People change their winter clothes into light clothes. Trees turn green and some flowers bloom. In spring, I can also play games outdoors. I often go out to fly kites. Spring makes me feel active. What about you?

庄子云：“人生天地之间，若白驹过隙，忽然而已。”是呀，春秋置换，日月交替，这从指尖悄然划过的时光，没有一点声响，没有一刻停留，仿佛眨眼的功夫，半生已过。
　　人活在世上，就像暂时寄宿于尘世，当生命的列车驶到终点，情愿也罢，不情愿也罢，微笑也罢，苦笑也罢，都不得不向生命挥手作别。
　　我们无法挽住时光的脚步，无法改变人生的宿命。但我们可以拿起生活的画笔，把自己的人生涂抹成色彩靓丽的颜色。
　　生命如此短暂，岂容随意挥霍！只有在该辛勤耕耘的时候播洒汗水，一程风雨后，人生的筐篓里才能装满硕果。
　　就算是烟花划过天空，也要留下短暂的绚烂。只有让这仅有一次的生命丰盈充实，才不枉来尘世走一遭。雁过留声，人过留名，这一趟人生旅程，总该留下点儿什么！
　　生活是柴米油盐的平淡，也是行色匆匆的奔波。一粥一饭来之不易，一丝一缕物力维艰。
　　前行的路上，有风也有雨。有时候，风雨扑面而来，打在脸上，很疼，可是，我们不能向生活低头认输，咬牙抹去脸上的雨水，还有泪水，甩开脚步，接着向前。
　　我们需要呈现最好的自己给世界，需要许诺最好的生活给家人。所以，生活再累，不能后退。即使生活赐予我们一杯不加糖的苦咖啡，皱一皱眉头，也要饮下。
　　人生是一场跋涉，也是一场选择。我们能抵达哪里，能看到什么样的风景，能成为什么样的人，都在于我们的选择。
　　如果我们选择面朝大海，朝着阳光的方向挥手微笑，我们的世界必会收获一片春暖花开。如果我们选择小桥流水，在不动声色的日子里种篱修菊，我们的世界必会收获一隅静谧恬淡。
　　选择临风起舞，我们就是岁月的勇者；选择临阵脱逃，我们就是生活的懦夫。
　　没有淌不过去的河，就看我们如何摆渡。没有爬不过去的山，就看我们何时启程。
　　德国哲学家尼采说：“每一个不曾起舞的日子，都是对生命的辜负。”让我们打开朝着晨光的那扇窗，迎阳光进来，在每一个日出东海的日子，无论是鲜衣怒马少年时，还是宠辱不惊中年时，都活出自己的明媚和精彩。
　　时间会带来惊喜，只要我们不忘记为什么出发，不忘记以梦为马，岁月一定会对我们和颜悦色，前方也一定会有意想不到的惊喜。
　　人生忽如寄，生活多苦辛。
　　短暂的生命旅程，
　　别辜负时光，别辜负自己。
　　愿我们每一个人自律、阳光、勤奋，
　　活成自己喜欢的模样，
　　活成一束光，
