What I live for

Recently I read a article named what I live. This is a question I thought about for a long time.
When I was young, I thought I live for happiness. If I can play with friends whole day, that would be best way of living. When I grow a bit old, I think people live for creating some new thing. Because that time i was so interested in the science class, I thought people who can create new device like computer or some super machine is really successful.Therefore, I thought becoming a man like that is the goal of living. When i get in high school, I thought people live for help others. My father is a person like that. He is such a doctor that always take the health of his patient the most important thing. He did almost five surgeries everyday, which is almost twice than other doctors in China. He did that because he had a huge number of patient waiting for him to cure their disease, and he didn't want them to wait for too long. So he gave up his own spare time to help them. I think my father is a great man.
After reading this article ,I thought I should be a person describe in the book. It said that"Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair."
It is really a great summary for what people live for. When I grow older, I think I can understand it more clearly

contrast and compare paragraph

The left clock and right clock are similar in shape.Also they both point at same time. But there are still some differences, the left clock is like liquid,but the right clock is like glass. Moreover, the right clock is in a painting, but the left one is in a real world. To me, the most similarity is that the two clocks give me a strong feeling about the time is going by very fast.

I saw Avatar few days ago in China, one of the blockbuster in those days.I think I haven't seen this story hundred times, but no one like this. The 3d visual effect is so impressive, according the newspaper, I know this movie have the greatest 3D effect in all the science-fiction movies. I believe everyone enjoy the visual experience, no doubt.

As for the story, some of the "inspirations" and "creation" are so creative and incredible. I cannot use any words to describe the spectacular scene of the movie. People can only feel it by watch it in the movie theater. It is really a great movie. And everything in that world is amazing and beautiful. I particularly like the plants and creature which are around by light..

It's really great movie that no one can miss it.
