We were silently waiting on the platform in the late afternoon.There he was,my 80-year-old grandfather with his silvery hair.And there I was,a teenage girl in my jeans and T-shirt.His aged but still clear blue eyes were taking in the scene as I wondered how I was going to get through the next two days.Why did I ever agree to accompany my cranky grandpa on a train ride from New York to Georgia?
No one else wanted to be the fellow traveler since my grandfather refused to fly.In contrast,I loved to fly since I wanted to get to the destination as quickly as possible.No matter what anyone told my grandfather about the comfort and safety of flying,he refused to book a flight,saying, "It's not just the trip;it's the adventure of getting there."
With my first step onto the train,the journey was already different from what I expected.The train was modem and filled with friendly travelers.We settled into the club car,where we could enjoy food and drinks while watching the scenery pass.Instead of listening to my music,I became a willing audience and learned family history that I had never had the time or patience to learn.With teary eyes,he told me that going to family events was hard for him since my grandmother died.It always made him think about those who were no longer with us.For the first time I felt I understood him.I gained a new appreciation for our time together.
In this fast-paced world,we often miss important moments.There is great significance in listening to elders who offer a piece of their history and experience.I may be more open to opportunities to stay with my grandpa.Life isn't just about the destination;it's about the journey.

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
Failure is the path to success.It helps us to touch the sky,teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.Success brings in money,fame,pride and selfrespect.Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder.The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble,modest,courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
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.
