Do your parents hug you before you go to school? In Western countries, it is quite common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your Friends is having a bad day, you can hug them to cheer them up. Friends who havent seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting.Of course, people in different countries have different ideas when it comes to hugging. After coming to China, Ive noticed that people are generally more reluctant(不情愿的)to hug than they are in my home country, the US.My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be very intimate(亲密的) in their culture . It usually only happens between people who are really close to each other, like couples. Chinese people dont usually hug in public, either.But peoples attitudes(态度)toward hugging can also change.I remember watching a video story about a hugging party that is held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other.The Chinese participants(参与者)clearly looked uncomfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their minds. They decided that hugging doesnt have to be awkward(尴尬的)and can actually be quite nice.

One of my fathers friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernies place. We d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal. Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then wed bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heartthe reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free partand throw away the rest. Bernie was my fathers idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernies wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you dont take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy lifes small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life. For many years, I forgot that lesson Id learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could. Well, Ive relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. Thats the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.35 .
