When I was 17,I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay,once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay.She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death.On a sunny Saturday,Sally and I drove over to the museum.She asked, "Do you have the address?" "No,but I'll recognize it,there was a picture in the magazine."
   "Oh,stop.There it is!"
   The museum was free.We entered,excited.A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.
   "May I help you?" a man asked. "No," I said. "we're fine." Tour guides got on my nerves.What if they talked a long time about a painting you weren't that interested in?Sally had gone upstairs.The people in the hall seemed very nosy(愛窺探的),keeping their eyes on me with curiosity.What was their problem?I saw some nice sculptures in one room.Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. "Where do you think you are?" he asked.I turned sharply. "The McNay Art Museum!" He smiled,shaking his head. "Sorry,the McNay is on New Braunfels Street." "what's this place?" I asked,still confused. "Well,it's our home." My heart jolted(震顫),I raced to the staircase and called out, "Sally!Come down immediately!"
   "There's some really good stuff(藝術(shù)作品) up there." She stepped down,looking confused.I pushed her toward the front door,waving at the family,saying, "Sorry,please forgive us,you have a really nice place." Outside,when I told Sally what happened,she covered her mouth,laughing.She couldn't believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.
   The real McNay was splendid,but we felt nervous the whole time we were there.Van Gogh,Picasso.This time,we stayed together,in case anything else unusual happened.
   Thirty years later,a woman approached me in a public place. "Excuse me,did you ever enter a residence,long ago,thinking it was the McNay Museum?"
   "Yes.But how do you know?We never told anyone."
   "That was my home.I was a teenager sitting in the hall.Before you came over,I never realized what a beautiful place I lived in.I never felt lucky before.You thought it was a museum.My feelings about my home changed after that.I've always wanted to thank you."

  • 1.Life comes in a package.This package includes happiness and sorrow,failure and success,hope and despair.Life is a learning process.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations.
       Love
       Love plays a pivotal role on our life.Love makes you feel wanted.Without love a person could go Hayward(不歸路) and also become cruel and ferocious.In the early stage of our life,our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care.They teach us about what is right and wrong,good and bad.But we always tend to take this for granted.It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others' feelings.Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
       Happiness and Sorrow
       Materialistic happiness is shortlived,but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others' face gives a certain level of fulfillment.Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in jye.ai.Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one,failure and despair.But these things are temporary and pass away.
       Failure and Success

       Hope and Despair
       Hope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well.Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour,because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
       Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday,for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown,for it could either be bright or dull.So the only alternative is work hard today,so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
