When I was a child I could not wait to see the world. I grew like the spring flowers in the garden.

When I was a teenager, I could not wait to leave home. I did not want to follow any rules, and I was as angry as the burning sun in the summer sky.

But then, I learned to think carefully before doing anything. (Both good and bad things in the past became parts of my life, like autumn harvests for a farmer.

Now I am old. My body is weak, but my mind has become strong and clear because of those experiences in my younger days. I am like a winter leaf ready to take a good rest.

These are the four seasons of my life.
