同僚の英語教師のケスから素敵な文章を頂いた。＜生きるってこんなことさ＞
あるがままに、ってこんなことかな。ありがとう、ケス！

One day a small opening appeared in cocoon; a man sat and watched for
several hours as the butterfly struggled to force its body through
　　the little hole.
Then, it seems to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had
gotten as far as it could and could not go any further. So the man
decided to help butterfly; he took a pair of scissors and opened
　　the cocoon.
The butterfly then emerged easily. But it was tiny, with a withered body
and shriveled wings. The man continued to watch because he expected
that, any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand,
to be able to support the butterfly’s body.
Nether happened! In fact, the butterfly spend the rest of its life
crawling around with a withered body and shriveled wings. It never was
　　 able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and his good will did not understand was
That the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the
butterfly to get through the tiny opening, were nature’s way of forcing
fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be
ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
sometimes, struggle are exactly what we need from the cocoon. If we were
allowed to go to through our life with out any obstacles. It would cripple
　　　　 us.

We would not be as strong as we could have been!
I asked for Strength.... and I was given difficulties to make strong.
I asked for Wisdom.... and I was given problems to solve.
I asked for Prosperity.... and I was given a brain to solve.
I asked for Courage.... and I was given obstacles to overcome.
I asked for Love.... and I was given troubled people to help
I asked for Favors..... and I was given opportunities.
“I received nothing I wanted.... but received everything I needed.”
Live life is without fear, confront all obstacles and know that you can
　　　　　Overcome them.

　　　　 　 A little something from me to you.
　　　　　 You cannot choose your destiny
　　　　　　and you can not change it.
　　　　　　　 Live life to the full
　　　　　and always be honest your self.
　　　　　　　　 Life is gift.
　　　　　　　　　　　　 Keith.
