4
The piece about imperfectness and satisfaction
5
Hes missing a piece. Hes very sad.
6
He set off to find the missing piece.
7
He rolled along, singing Oh, I am going to look
for my missing piece, I am going to look for my
missing piece, Ah ha ha, on the way, to look
for my missing piece
8
Sometimes, he has to bear the heat of the sun.
9
Following that, that icy cold rain falls
10
Sometimes the snow freezes him up. Then the sun
will come out to give him warmth
11
Because he is missing a piece, so he cant roll
very fast. Thus, he could stop and chat with the
worm.
12
Or smell the flowers
13
Sometimes he overtakes the beetle.
14
Sometimes the beetle will also overtake him
15
This kind of moment is the happiest for him.
16
He continued on across the ocean
Oh, I am looking for my missing piece Across
the land and seas Not afraid of the long road
ahead, I am looking for my missing piece.
17
Through the swamps and scrubs,
18
Up the mountains,
19
And down the mountains.
20
Till one day, he saw it and sang I have found my
missing piece, I have found my missing piece,
Not afraid of the long road ahead, I have found
Hold on, the piece said Dont sing that not
afraid of the long road ahead.. yet
21
I am not your missing piece. I am not anyones
piece. I am my own piece. Even if I am someones
missing piece, I believe it would not be yours.
22
Orh. He sadly said. Sorry to disturb you. And
he went on his way again.
23
He then found another piece.
24
But this piece was too small.
25
This one was too big.
26
This one is slightly too sharp.
27
This one was too squarish.
28
But he did not grab hold of it tight.
There was once when he found a piece with the
perfect fit.
29
And he dropped it.
30
There was another time when he grabbed hold of it
too tight...
31
and broke it.
32

33
He went along his way again.
34
Met with some dangers,
35
Fell into a pit,
36
Crashed into a stone wall.
37
One day, he met another piece which seemed to be
a perfect fit.
38
Hi! He said.
Hi! the piece said.
Are you anyones missing piece?
No, I am not.
Then are you your own piece?
I can be someones piece, as well as, be my own
piece
You probably would not like to be my missing
piece.
Not really.
Maybe we are not suitable.
Dont say that
39
How is it?
Feels good.
40
Very suitable! A perfect fit! Finally found it!
Finally found it!
41
He rolled along, because he does not miss a piece
anymore, he rolled faster and faster, faster then
never before.
So fast that he could not stop to chat with the
little worm.
42
He cant stop to smell the flowers too.
43
So fast that the butterfly is not able to rest on
him.
44
But he could sing his happy song. He finally can
sing I found my missing piece.
45
He started to sing UmmmBlehHmmm, UmmmBlehHmm
m, HmmpUmmp
Oh god, He does not miss a piece now, but he
cannot sing.
46
I know why. He thought. Theres a reason
here. He stopped.
47
And put down his missing piece,
48
And left.
49
He moved along, and sang softly
50
Oh, I am looking for my missing piece I am
looking for my missing piece Ah ha ha, on the
road To look for my missing piece.

Regarding Maturity
54
???????????,?????????????????,????????????
In this society that emphasizes on the packaging,
we would sometimes inevitably envy other peoples
good looks, and lament about our own imperfection.
55
???????,?????????????????,???????????
????????????,????????? ???????????,??????????
??????,?????? ??????,??????????
But in my years of experience, I have discovered
that theres no one life that is
perfect, everyone has a lack of something. Some
couples are very loving, monthly salary of 10K,
but they could have problems bearing child. Some
people have the looks and talent, but could have
a rough time in relationships. Some people have
lots of money, but they dont have filial
children. Some people look to have a good life,
but their brain could be empty all their life.
56
??????,???????????,?????,???????
?????????????, ??????????.
Everyones life has been designed with
imperfections, you may not want it, but it will
follow you. I used to hate my imperfection, but
now I have learnt to accept it with open arms
57
????????????,??????????, ????????,??????
Because I understand that the flaw in life is
like a spike on our backs, reminding us to be
humble and to emphatise with others.
58
?????,?????,????,????????????????
????,???????,??????????????????,
If there are no hardships, we will be complacent.
If there is no depression, we cannot emphatise
and console those who are less fortunate. I also
believe that life cannot be too perfect, having a
crack to let happiness flow to others is a
beautiful thing.
59
??????????, ??????,??????? ????????????, ????????
???????, ???????????????
You dont have to have everything. If you have
everything, whats left for the others? Also
recognise that life has flaws, that I will not
compare myself with others, instead cherish what
you already have.
60
??,????????????,???????????,????????????????????.
So, dont go around envying others, count the
blessings that Heaven has bestowed upon you, you
will find that there are more things that you
have than things that you dont have
61
????????,????,??????????,???????,????????????
And what you do not have, although not lovable,
is very much part of your life, accept and
appreciate it, and your life will be much
happier.
62
???????, ????????????????......??????, ??????????!

If you are a clam, Do you want to bear all the
pains to produce a pearl..or you do not want the
pearl and choose to live comfortably?!

answers Until a day when your answers does not
change. Then you are mature!
