other commitments(使命): imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls i.e. work, family, health, friends and spirit. you will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. if you drop it, it will bounce back. but the other four balls family, health, friends and spirit are made of glass. you must understand that and strive for balance in your life. how?dont suppose you are not as good as somebody else by comparing yourself with others. it is because we are different that each of us is special. dont set your goals by what other people think important. only you know what is best for you. dont take for granted the things closest to your heart. cling to them as they would be your life, for without them, life is meaningless. dont let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or for the future. by living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. dont give up when you still have something to give. nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. dont be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. it is this thread that binds us to each together. dont be afraid to face risks. it is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. dont shut love out of your life by saying its impossible to find. the quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. dont run through life so fast that you forget not only where youve been, but also where you are going. dont forget a persons greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated. dont be afraid to learn. knowledge is weightless, a treasure that offers you power. dont use time or words carelessly. neither can be found if lost .life is not a race, but a journey to be enjoyed each step of the way. yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift: thats why we call it the present.【文章大意】本文叙述了生命是一场不停丢掷五个球于空中的游戏。这五个球分别为工作、家庭、健康、朋友和心灵，而且你很努力地掷着这五个球，不让它们落地。很快地你会了解工作是一个橡皮球。如果你不幸失手落下它，它还是会弹回来。本文提醒我们要处理好它们之间的关系。36. what does the author mainly talk about? a. knowledge is the
