collar. there was a phone number on the collar, but no one answered.the dog was painfully thin. it didnt have many teeth left and, well, it just seemed done.julie ran home to get some of our dogs food while i tried to encourage the dog to come along with me. julie got home and back again when i was only half way there. so, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the

some regrets. for nba superstar lebron james, the biggest regret might be that he chose to leave the cavaliers, his club where he had stayed for seven years. in the summer of 2010 james announced on a tv show that he would be joining the miami heat although he had reportedly told the cavaliers that he would stay with them. james went from hero to villain(坏人) overnight.james admitted that he had been affected by the outburst of hatred from cavaliers fans. “it turned me into somebody i wasnt,” he said. “when you start to hear the villain, you have to be the villain. and i started to buy into it. i started to play the game of basketball in a mind state that i had never played at before. i mean angry.”james led the miami heat to the nba finals in the first year of the big 3s formation. but at the last minute they were defeated by the dallas mavericks and james performance was described by many as disappointing.“the best teacher in life is experience and going through things,” james said. “no one can set you up for that. youve got to go through it.”“i learned a lot from it,” he continued. “i thought about ways to get better individually on and off the court. im back this season a better person and a better basketball player.”james describes family, friends and basketball as the three things that matter most to him in life. “and after that, everything else becomes irrelevant,” he said.after emerging(摆脱) from his post-finals misery, james began showing his personality again.he knew he had to sharpen his own skills. he worked on his low-post game with hall of fame center hakeem olajuwon. “for me, its all about getting back to the love of the game,” james said. “im back to loving the game. im back to having fun. thats something i forgot about.”were already starting to see that renewed love in action. the heat got their revenge against the mavericks in the season opener. james scored 37 points to lead his team to a 105-94 victory. james also performed well in their

get we must be willing to give. and it works with love too. the more of it you give away, the more you get it back from others. love is not only a feeling, it is also an attitude. so, if you want to attract love into your life, you must be willing to think about it and welcome it.most people would not agree with me on that. they would say that they do think about it more than on anything else.

probably will never get married. their focus is on the wrong area. this only strengthens their disappointment and doubts.thirdly, you have to learn how to love yourself. too many people hate

love comes when you learn how to forgive others. do not keep hate in your heart for it will destroy your ability to receive and give love. try to forgive the person or people who have offended(冒犯)
