Over the last year I have read lots of material on self-improvement and success. One common theme I found in almost everything I read was an emphasis on gratitude. In an effort to increase gratitude in my life, I have listed the top 5 things that have been given to me for nothing:
去年我看過很多關于自我成長和成功的材料，我發現幾乎所有材料都有一個共同點，那就是強調感恩。為了增強我的感恩之心，我找出了五個對我來講最重要的不勞所獲。
1. My Car
When my Gramma bought a new car, she sold her 1997 Ford Tauras to me for $1. A white Tauras isn’t exactly the coolest car on the block, but I have driven it for 7 years with minimal maintenance costs. After 14 years and 100,000+ miles, it still gets me where I need to go.
我的車
我奶奶買新車的時候，把她的1997年產福特金牛座轎車以一美元賣給了我。白色的金牛座雖然并不是我們那個街區最酷的一輛車，但它為我效力了七年，也沒花多少維護費用。現如今在它服役14年、跑了10萬英里路之后，仍然可以帶我去任何我想去的地方。
2. My Education
I was fortunate enough to have great parents who decided at a young age to save money for my education. I graduated from Purdue University in 2009 with no student loans and $0 paid by me towards my tuition. They also paid my rent all four years. The only thing I had to do was graduate on time. I know that most people don’t get an amazing deal like this and for that I am grateful.
我的教育
我非常幸運有一對偉大的父母，他們在我很小的時候就開始為我的教育存錢。到2009年我從普渡大學畢業的時候，從未自己付過一分學費，卻也沒有任何學生貸款。我的父母甚至還為我支付了四年的房租，而我所要做的就是按時畢業而已。我知道很多人沒有像我這樣的好運，為此我心懷感激。
3. My Computer
When I graduated from High School in 2005, my parents threw a graduation party for me. I netted about $2,000 in cash gifts and used it to buy a brand new laptop.In 2008, the laptop was stolen when our house was robbed. Good thing my parents had home owners insurance. The laptop was covered for $1200 which I used to buy a new computer that I still use to this very day.
我的電腦
2005年我高中畢業的時候，父母為我辦了一場畢業歡慶會。慶祝會上我收到了大概2000元的禮金，我用這筆錢買了一臺新的筆記本電腦。2008年我們家失竊的時候我的筆記本也被盜了。不過好消息是我的父母購買了家財險，我的筆記本得到了1200元的賠償。我又用這筆錢買了一臺新電腦，并且使用至今。
