I am a book lover. So my house is forever full of1. I have new ones, old ones, hardcovers, paperbacks,2and non-stories. I have three boxes of books in my closet, two boxes of books on the floor of my bedroom, and a box of children's books 3for my future grandchildren. I have even more books4the two I wrote, on my desk. I try to keep the books5building up by donating as many as I can to the local6, but as soon as I donate a few, I find myself buying a few more.
Books I read keep my mind young, my heart 7, and my soul bright. They bring me knowledge, laughter, and joy. They connect me with the wisdom(智慧) of the past and the new ideas of the8. They keep me moving on the right path as I journey through life.
I have learned that people are a lot like books as well. Some have bright and shiny(有光泽的) covers 9don't have very much to say in side of them.10look old and plain but so full of wisdom and light that reading them can11your whole life. One difference between books and people, though, is that while a book has an ending, the writing inside of us12forever.
Take care when writing the book of your own life. Fill it with love for yourself, others, and this world. Fill it with all the wisdom you have learned, goodness you have done,13you have shared, and joy you have 14. Keep writing it every day, too. Make it everything you are and everything you want to be, and then open it to 15. I know it will be a wonderful and fantastic book.
