It wasn't until we moved into our new home in 2006 that I found it again. It was addressed to me with explicit instructions not to open until my birthday 2005. It was now 2006 so I decided to open it. This is what it said:
Dear Sherri
By the time you read this you will be 30. At the age of 18 I had so many hopes and dreams about where you'd be, what you'd be doing and with whom you'd spend your life with.
Right now I hope that you have traveled and seen everything you've always wanted to, both in Canada and overseas, and maybe even settled down somewhere in Australia doing some research in the field of biology (genetics.
I hope you're married to the man of your dreams. The man of mine is Gwynn. He is originally from South Africa (another place I wish to visit.
You'll probably have two children of your own – a girl(Michaela Anne and a boy (name yet to be decided.
If everything goes according to plan you'll be living in Australia in a big house in a small town outside of a big city with a lot of land, a dog, Gwynn and your two beautiful children. Hopefully you have a career in the medical field, maybe doing research in genetics. Gwynn will be a computer programmer and you will be doing alright for yourselves.
However, if things don't go according to plan for you, I wish you all the love, happiness and joy in the world and don't settle for anything less than the best since that is absolutely what you deserve.
Live long, be happy and live life to it's fullest.
Love Sherri "18″
When I read this for the first time since writing it I was floored. Even now having dug this up again another 4 years later I still can't help but think this is really cool.
So much of what I wanted for myself has materialized.
I did travel to a few more places in Canada although I haven't seen everything I'd like to.I did marry the man of my dreams and yes he still is my one and only.I've traveled to the UK, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. I lived in Australia for nearly 4 years in a big house, in a small suburb, in a major city (close enough. I had a career in Biology in the field of genetics for 10 years.I have two lovely kids – both boys (names now decided.
I have not one dog but two dogs. Both yellow labs from Australia.Gwynn is a computer programmer. We are doing okay for ourselves.
After writing this I quickly forgot about what I had put in here actually. The things that materialized were all met with quite a bit of resistance (all internal but I suppose these were things that I really did want. Having never strayed too far from home overseas travel was a huge deal. Having never been away from my family moving to Australia for several years was an incredibly huge decision.
I find it fascinating how the dreams of a young and naive little girl can become a grown woman's reality.
I'm curious if you guys have ever written anything to your future self and how it stacks up to your current reality. If you haven't, will you join me in writing a letter now to yourself in say 10 years from now? It's an interesting little experiment.
每当你去超市买东西时,有推销员热情地为你介绍商品,有营业员周到地为你提供服务,还有收银员细心地为你计量、收钱或刷卡收款。8月24日下午,我们德州晚报小记者来到“银座”超市当了一次“小营业员”。
我被分配到“收银区”,当收银阿姨的小助手。阿姨安排给我的主要工作是顾客交钱时,看看顾客购买的东西是否比较多,问问顾客需要不需要购物袋,根据他们购物的多少选择购物袋的大小,将顾客购买的东西等收银阿姨扫描之后放进购物袋,还要帮助顾客打开进超市时封袋的`吸扣。
站在岗位上,我迫不及待地等待顾客的到临。终于,来了一位老爷爷,我激动得忘了第一步要干什么,看着收银阿姨验码、输号、找钱、递钱,那有条不紊、让人眼花缭乱的动作,我心里佩服极了。见老爷爷走到我这边来了,他所购的东西不是很多,手里有密封袋,我手忙脚乱地用吸盘将密封袋上的吸扣打开,拿出里面的东西递给他,将他购买的东西帮他装进自带的购物袋中,看着老爷爷远去的身影,我松了一口气。
一开始我还劲头十足,可是不到半个小时,我就感觉站累了。“一定要坚持到底!”我心里为自己打气。时间,一分一秒地走过,我的腿不停地给我提出抗议。但是身边的阿姨比我站得时间更长,***活也比我们***多。我望望其他的小记者朋友们,他们都在坚守岗位,没有一个“离岗”。
通过两个小时的实践活动,我深深地到:收银员的工作不是想象中的那么简单,所以,做什么工作都需要付出辛勤的汗水和百倍的努力!
我的爸爸虽然是个“小领导”,可要处理的事情非常多,要接待客户,要发展业务……爸爸数十年如一日,如同热爱生命一样热爱着自己的职业。每天他总是早早来到办公室,最后一个下班回家;周末、节假日时,加班成了家常便饭;和妈妈聊天时,张口是谈工作,闭口还是谈工作。爸爸简直就是一个名副其实的“工作狂”。
就在前几天,爸爸生病了,因没有胃口,一天都没吃饭。下班后,爸爸拖着疲惫的身躯回到家里,打算上床休息。这时手机响了,爸爸一接电话,结果任务来了:明天是“3·15”国际消费者权益日,公司要举办营销活动,让他拟一份活动方案。爸爸强忍着身体的不适,坐到电脑前开始写方案。书房里不时传来敲击键盘声和咳嗽声。第二天一早我刚起床,就看到两眼布满血丝的爸爸准备出门,“爸爸,你这么早就去哪儿?”爸爸边穿鞋子边回答道:“今天公司搞活动,我必须早点到活动现场做准备。”
在爸爸的心里,工作永远是第一,为了工作可以不顾一切。说到爸爸敬业,我不禁又想起了那个雪花纷飞、寒风凛冽的冬天。那天中午,爸爸收到了一条信息,乡下有户空巢老人家电话不通。由于大雪压坏了很多电话线,维修人员都派走了。爸爸看了后二话不说,准备亲自下乡维修。妈妈看着窗外的鹅毛大雪,担心地说:“你呀,就别亲自下乡了,等其他维修人员回来了再派人去吧!”可爸爸说:“老人家没有电话怎么行啊?”“咚咚咚”他快步下了楼梯,骑着摩托车去了乡下。晚上,爸爸回来后,我发现他裤子破了,问他怎么回事。爸爸装作没事的样子,说:“回来的路上摔了一跤,没事,你别担心。”我卷起他的裤腿,膝盖上擦破了一块皮,血淋淋的。我好害怕,抱住爸爸哭了起来,爸爸温柔地摸着我的头,说:“没事,没事,爸爸下次小心点就行了。”
爸爸虽没有惊天动地的壮举,没有感人至深的事迹,但他一直以“奉献乃生活的真正意义”为人生信条,坚守在自己平凡的岗位上,用辛勤的汗水谱写了一支爱岗敬业的奉献之歌。
人这一辈子活着总有许多许多小的明白想不通的事。小到一件事情为什么要这么做?为什么就是这个样子的?大到一个人为什么什?为什么死?为什么活着?如果一个人是愿意思考的,那么我想他的生活中肯定有许许多多想不明白也想不通的事。而这些事情总在时不时地困扰着我们。
对于我一个小小的俗人而言。最想不明白的就是,同样布料做出同样样式的衣服和马甲,为什么马夹的价格就比衣服的价格贵了好多?难道就因为马甲比衣服少了两个袖?这是我一直卖衣服以来最为困惑的事。
我问过好多同伴。他们给出的`答案各不相同。有的时候可能大家穿起来比衣服穿起来好看。所以买家的价格就比衣服的价格贵。有的人说衣服虽然多两个袖子,可是做起来却要比马甲简单许多。对这其中做衣服道理我实在是更加的不明白。
不过对于一个卖衣服的而言,只能是贵进的贵卖,便宜进的便宜卖。没有什么别的捷径而言。
关于马甲和外套的区别。只是千千万万个空或者问题中的其中一个。让我想不明白也想不通。有一天我应该去找一找各种资料。真正的探索一下同样衣服同样款式的马甲和外套。为什么马甲的价格反而比外套的价格贵?
都说术业有专攻。作为一个卖衣服的销售来说,我觉着自己是不合格的。希望自己有一天能够成长的更加优秀一些。做一个真正合格的销售。

近年,在科学发展观指导下,我市抢抓机遇,大力实施“三大推进”战略,全市经济社会建设实现了跨越式发展,道路基础设施发生了翻天覆地的变化,城市面貌日新月异,受到了社会各界及外人员的一致好评,作为合肥市民无不为此而感到由衷的自豪。当前,我市“大建设”和创建明城市工作正在强力推进,加强城市管理,依法查处各类交通违法行为,构建明和谐、畅通有序的城市道路交通环境,已成为形势所需、人心所向。
在合肥的发展历程中,广大正三轮车主尤其是残疾人车主起早摸黑,风餐露宿,十分辛劳,在一定程度上方便了市民出行,缓解了公共交通压力。与此同时,正三轮车非法营运管理上的薄弱,给车主及广大市民的`人身安全和身心健康带了许多不利影响,有的甚至造成了人身伤亡的严重后果,与省会城市的地位和形象很不相称。
根据华东地区及我市周边省会城市(上海、宁波、南京、南昌、武汉、杭州、长沙)依法取缔正三轮车营运的做法,市委、市政府依据《中华人民共和国道路交通安全法》、《中华人民共和国道路运输条例》等相关法律法规,决定从现在开始,依法取缔全市正三轮等车的非法营运。
市委、市政府十分关心残疾人车主的身心健康和生活保障,认真研究制定了取缔后的综合配套政策,出台了就业安置、劳动保障、医疗保险、特殊救助等一系列人关爱措施,真正把残疾人车主作为特殊群体给予特殊照顾,着力为残疾人办好事、做实事、解难事,最大限度地解决残疾人车主及其家庭的实际困难。
合肥是我家,城市形象的塑造和维护靠大家。人人关爱我们赖以生活的这座美丽城市,是全体市民义不容辞的责任。市委、市政府相信你们一定会从大局出发,自觉做到遵纪守法,以实际行动理解、支持、配合政府决策,为构建明、和谐的现代化滨湖大城市做出自己应有的贡献!
一天,我放学回到家,妈妈正好也下班了,我发现妈妈今天穿了一件很别致的衣服。这是一件桔色的上衣,两个袖管子像灯笼一样,我暂且叫它灯笼袖,非常有特色,而且衣摆有蓬松的感觉,像风中的裙摆一样。和妈妈以前穿的衣服不太一样。 “如果我也有这么漂亮的衣服就好了。”我羡慕地说道。
机会来了,到了晚上,妈妈马上要睡觉了。她就把衣服放在衣橱里面,我就开心地说:“太好了,我终于可以试这件衣服了!”我趁妈妈睡着以后,我就偷偷地从衣橱里拿出妈妈漂亮的衣服。
我慢慢地穿上衣服,虽说是妈妈的'上衣,但是到了 我身上却变成了一条很宽大的“裙子”!袖子真的是又长有宽,都超过了手好多。衣摆也罩住了我的裤子,都快要拖到地上了!即使是如此的不合我身,但我还是得意洋洋地在镜子面前照来照去,非常开心,当时觉得一下子长大就好了。正当我沉浸在想象中时,身后传来了妈妈的话:“你在干吗呢,丫头,你是不是想挨打呀!”原来,妈妈被我吵醒了,妈妈对我说:“现在你还小,>长大了才能穿大人的衣服。”
唉,我多么想长大呀!

dear sir or madam:
i am xxx, general manager of xxx. learning that an excellent staff member of ours, mr. xxx is intent on further studying abroad, i am much pleased and gratified. in my opinion, such a promising youth striving for progress should receive better education so as to create a brighter future. therefore, it gives me a high honor to strongly recommend this outstanding young man to your world-renowned university.
mr. xxx once did practice in ours in his last academic year at university. though he was not familiar with business and insufficient in working experience, he, instead of admitting defeat, never allowed any opportunity to study to slip away. taking full advantage of leisure time, mr. xxx thumbed through volumes of books regarding business and remitted to other experienced staff members modestly. gradually, he became well versed in various business and obtained certain working results. never satisfied with and proud of his acquisition, mr. xxx still communicated and discussed modestly with his colleagues about some puzzles he encountered in the work till finding out solutions. in light of his praiseworthy performance in the practice, we made an exception to recruit him as a full member of ours after his graduation (we seldom hire those just graduating from universities.
by now, as a business elite of ours, mr. xxx works even seriously, responsibly and diligently, setting a good example to other staff members. every drop of sweat will be repaid. mr. xxx has been appraised as excellent employee of ours and awarded considerable bonus.
to some extent, it may be a great loss of our company that such a superexcellent employee as mr. xxx is going to study abroad. however, in consideration of his prospect, i, without any hesitation, am in great favor of his decision of studying at your reputable university. with great sincerity, i expect that you will support his application fully and grant him an opportunity to uplift himself and realize his dream. thanks a lot.
respectfully yours,
xxx
