Personal growth doesn't necessarily only happen when the conditions are perfect.Seeds tend to develop only when conditions are right.A seed will remain dormant（休眠） until moisture（濕度）and temperature are favorable for growth.Unfortunately，as humans，we don't always have the luxury of growing when conditions are just right.Sometimes you must cultivate personal growth and flower where you're planted，often in spite of external circumstances.
For much of my life，I let external circumstances control my happiness.If things weren't going well，then I wasn't well.I told myself that I would be happier if conditions were right.With this mindset，I gave myself permission to stay emotionally dormant.I was waiting for things around me to change before I would do the work to become a better version of myself.In other words，I made my personal growth conditional on external circumstances.
The problem with waiting for change outside of yourself is that you might have to wait a very long time，maybe even forever.And if you stay dormant while waiting，you aren't growing.You're simply stuck in place.You certainly aren't becoming the better version of yourself that you want to be.
If you want to engage in personal growth，like planting seeds，you have to do some work to make it happen.You can't wait around for everything to fall into place.Start with pulling up your emotional weeds.Examine yourself and remove the pessimistic thoughts and behaviors that are holding you back.Then，work on the foundation that you have.Practice positive life habits that build your self-respect and happiness.
Personal growth is something you can fight for.It may not come naturally，but when you develop this mindset，you will flower no matter where you're planted.

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for letting us to stay at your seaside house． Now， you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening． When I was out a walk， my younger son， Tom， played football before your house． He made so many noise that the neighbors got quite angrily． Even worse， Tom broke one of the window of Mr． Wilson's house． Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings， but promised to have the broken window repair soon． Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more． I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us． They are really nice people．
Yours，
