Example Writing:
By Jeenn Lee Hsieh

Try not to think that holding celebration parties is a waste of money; try instead to think that refraining from so doing is a waste of life. Life is sweet for certain and yet is too short for fun. A birthday party comes only once in a year and a wedding reception is supposed to happen once in everybody??s lifespan. Hence. it is significant to honor events like these to praise life itself in both individual and social contexts.


A celebration party is a get-together of families and friends for socializing plus merry-making. From a social point of view, it is normally seen as the recognition , or even the triumph, of life. Thus, a society in which people do not sing for life are out of steps with the social mainstream. Spending an affordable sum of money on hosting parties is ideal, and spending an extra bit in honor of life is understandable. Holding a party always has its price as well as its value. What seems unacceptable is a society in which people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

At the individual level, the more you celebrate your life in optimistic mood, the more there is in life to celebrate. Based on this concept, nothing is more emotional and symbolic than holding parties to share happiness among families and friends, which can empower optimism. It is as if party-related costs were likewise shared by all being there to some extent. Imagine that those are happy hours that money can buy. In pursuit of individual happiness, "wasting" money is not a dangerous thing. In any event, expenses are necessary since a party is not a party, were there without extra foods and extra drinks and loud music to dance to. What is money for should individuals miss the great fun and happiness from Heaven?

Rightfully, there is no better way to celebrate life than to hold a special party on a special occasion. Usually money used for that matter is well spent because one??s life deserves to be as sweet as birthday and wedding cakes. Remember: you live only once. （謝振禮老師原創(chuàng)）
