       Everyday on the way to work I drive down a street lined with pine trees．One tree in particular   1   my attention．It must have suffered some   2  ．Part of its trunk grew nearly parallel to the ground, and then in an effort to  3   its own course of life, the trunk took a 90 degree turn   4   to stand tall and stretch toward the sun．

       This tree became a   5  for me．Each day as I drove by, I saw this bent but determined tree and I would be   6  ．It was a reminder to me that   7   I may not have had the best start in life, I could change   8   in the parts of my life at any time．

       I was planning to stop one day to get a perfect   9  of my kindred-spirit （志趣相同的） tree．But that week I was   10 ．After that busy week, I still didn’t take any action．Every time I drove by the tree I would   11  myself, “Tomorrow, I’ll stop tomorrow to take one．” Then one day, as I   12   by “my” tree, I glanced over, and much to my   13   found a sawed-off stump （树桩） where that symbolic tree had stood．Gone．I had   14   my plan until “tomorrow” and tomorrow proved to be too   15  ．

       A picture of a tree is not of great   16  ．But my lesson rang through clearly 17   I found out one of my colleagues had been  18  with stage-four cancer．He may no longer have many   19  ．

       What have you been putting off? What would you do today if you knew you would  20 have the opportunity to do it again? Why not do those things that you have been putting off until tomorrow?
