Whenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations, He always told me, "You should have goals (目标) like climbing the mountain." Without the mountain-climbing, we couldn't have enough time to spend together, because my father was very busy. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thoughts as well as to develop my patience. Once we climbed a very high mountain. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds' singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I didn't want to climb. In fact, I hated it at that moment, but my father said to me, "You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, . Only there at the top can you see all the nice things, just like in life. At that time, But later, I got to know hope and confidence (信心) . I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as the crystal (水晶).
