I called my grandma for help, followed a TV program to make jam and waited excitedly. I enjoyed every step so much that I didn’t notice three hours pass by. Although the pie looked terrible and was not that delicious, Mum ate it up and told me it was the best pie that she had ever had. For the first time, I realized that although I made a terrible pie, I really enjoyed the process.②The process is important because it brings us something bigger than the result itself. That is, we always have new experiences during the process, which may help us improve our skills or form good relationships with others. If we just concentrate on the result and do not enjoy the process, we will be more likely to feel disappointed and want to give up. As a result, we will never understand the real meaning of success.③ But in this busy world, we see many successful people are in competition. How can we enjoy the process? Well, the question has the answer in itself.④Don’t always compare yourself with others. Success means different things to us. For some, success means being famous, while for others, it may be health or power.⑤Slow down. You need to stop expecting immediate results in what you do and learn to be patient. Impatience leads to unhappiness. Do it slowly, but never stop.⑥Reward yourself. Divide the process into small steps, and give yourself a reward after completing each of them.16.

Then he suddenly saw a man standing near the door of a closed restaurant.As the policeman walked towards him, the man spoke quickly. “It’s all right, officer,” he said, “I’m just waiting for a friend, my best friend Jimmy Wells. Twenty years ago, we agreed to meet here at ten tonight. Sounds a little funny to you, doesn’t it?” With these words, the man lit a cigar (雪茄). The light showed a pale face with a little scar near his right eye.“It sounds interesting,” said the policeman. “If he isn’t here at ten, are you going to leave?” “No.” said the man. “I will wait half an hour, at least. I’m sure Jimmy will come tonight.” “I will go on my way,” the policeman said. “Hope your friend comes. Good night, sir.” “Good night, officer.”There was now a cold rain falling.

Now before we go on to the police station, here’s a note for you. You may read it here at the window.”Bob opened the little piece of paper. His hands began to shake as he read.“Bob, I was at the place on time. When you lit your cigar, I saw it was the face of the man wanted by Chicago police.
