阅读下面的短文，选择正确答案。

Sometimes people come into your life and you know at once that they were sure to be there．They serve some sort of purpose，teach you a lesson or help find out who you are or who you want to become．You never know who these people may be：your classmate，neighbor，teacher，long-lost friend or even a real stranger．But you know that every moment they will affect your life in some serious way.

Sometimes things happen to you．At the time they may seem terrible，painful and unfair．But later you realize that without getting over those difficulties you would have never realized your further ability and strength．Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.

The people you meet affect your life，and the successes and failure you experience，create who you are.Even the bad experiences can be learned from．In fact，they are probably the most poignant and important ones.

Enjoy every day，even every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can，for you may never be able to experience it again．Talk to people you have never talked to before，and really listen．You should set your sight high，hold your head up，tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.

You can make your life anything you wish．Create your own life and then go out and live it.

参考译文

有时候人们一进入你的生活，你立刻就知道他们肯定会随时帮助你。他们总在某些方面起到作用：教导你，帮你认清现在的自己，或帮你发现你希望成为的人。你从来不知道这些人会是谁：你的同学、邻居、老师、久不联系的朋友，甚至真正的陌生人。但你知道，他们每时每刻都会以某种严肃的方式影响着你的生活。

有时候，事情毫无征兆地发生在你身上。此时，这些事情似乎可怕、痛苦、不公平。但之后你会发现，如果不战胜这些困难，你永远意识不到隐藏在你身上的能力和力量。每件事的发生都有原因，没有一件事的发生是出于偶然，或注定幸运或不幸。

你遇到的人对你的人生产生影响，你经历的成功或失败成就了现在的你。即便是不幸的经历也可以从中学到东西。实际上，它们很可能是对你影响最深刻、最重要的东西。

享受每一天，乃至每一刻，并尽可能从中学到所有东西，因为你可能不会再次经历同样的事。和你之前从未讲过话的人交流，并认真听取他们的意见。你应该把目光放得高远些，昂起头，告诉自己你是最棒的，并保持自信。

你可以把生活变得如你所愿。创造自己的生活，然后努力去实现它。
